Any spell, spell-like ability or special attack that causes sleep or paralysis. All damage from at least one element. You get stat bonuses that more than make up for your lost BA so that at 17th level you have not only have a better chance to hit than every other fighter, but most likely you are much harder to hit. You don't have to worry about Banishment like those pesky extraplanar templates.And Gee, here is the kicker. You don't have to worry about your abilities being dispelled by a higher level caster. You are medium-sized. Half-dragon is probably the best medium-sized template or creature out there.On top of all this, you get the base racial characteristics of the base race. Sounds like a great deal to me. Since I play one and kick more ass than humanoid fighters, I would say I have a pretty clear idea of how good they are. Especially greataxe wielding, power attacking characters with cleave and great cleave. More than makes up for the lag in iterative attacks. Hell, I even have darkvision to boot.Best bang for the buck template in the game IMO.</blockquote>
