Guardinals! Help Needed.

I thought it was ARKHAM ASYLUM. ;)

Also, I've decided to put the guardinals on temporary hold. I have some other stuff that needs attention. Oh, and I have converted the Orange Dragon to 3.5, I'll be posting it next week.

Later,

I would have proposed it also.

But usually, birds and mammals (except bats) are Good, while insect-like and reptilian are Evil. It's cliché, but it's unconsciously obeyed. Scaly angel would be weird; and with all those pics of St Michael slaying the dragon; having St Michael being a dragon would be even weirder.

This, of course, is a good reason for creating a draconal. :p

Well, the Seraphim, or Most High of Angels, were often identified with Winged Snakes. Likewise, Asian Dragons were connected with Heaven. So there's a precedent for holy beings with reptilian traits, as examplified by the Coualts and the Lillends in D&D.

Although I have to agree, a Draconal would be an impressive thing to see. Or perhaps a superior version of a lesser guardinal, such as a Grand Lupinal?

Arken absolutely none taken :), btw is that name from "Arken Asylem"?

I don't know really, I just thought it sounded meaningful whilst open to interpretation. I suppose the original inspiration (now I think about it) must have been the Arken Stone in the hobbit though I must have just recalled the world and thought it sounded cool :p

Can't wait to see the draconal Krishnath.:)
