[QUOTE="JiCi, post: 3357907, member: 40121"] The [I]Epic Bestiary -Volume One[/I] presents new epic dragons like the force and prismatic dragons in the [I]Epic Level Handbook[/I]. In [I]Races of the Dragon[/I], they present all kinds of half-dragons based on other true dragons aside from the regular chromatic and metallic. Among these half-breeds, there are the force and prismatic half-dragons. The force half-dragon gains a cone of force that deals 6d8 points of damage, as the template. The prismatic dragon gains a breath weapon similar to the [I]searing light[/I] spell at caster level 8th. It's a ranged touch attack, that deals 4d8 points of damage, but increases according to the targeted creatures. It's not [I]prismatic spray[/I] but it makes sense. So I though, why not make options for half-dragons based on those new epic dragons. [B]Cometary half-dragon[/B]: gains resistance to cold 20 and fire 20 / cone of pulsing time energy / Lawful neutral *Note: if a true dragon has two immunities to energy, it says to give two resistances instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Platinum half-dragon[/B]: immune to cold and disease/ cone of divine sound (half damage sonic, half damage holy) / Lawful Good ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Polychromatic half-dragon[/B]: resistance to acid 10, cold 10, electricity 10 and fire 10/ cone of acid, cold or fire OR line of acid or electricity/ Any Evil / LA +1 *Note: the polychromatic has immunities based on the dragon's polymorphic nature, so the half-dragon gains resistance 10; it may choose which breath weapon to use and if it can use its breath weapon more than once, it may choose another shape and energy; since it gains more than one breath weapon, it's worth an additional +1 to LA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Timber half-dragon[/B]: none / cone of dehydration (deals 8d8 to plants and creatures with the water subtype)/ Any Neutral ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]Titanium half-dragon[/B]: immunity to sonic / line of force (deals a cumulative 6d8 points of damage if hit the same target)/ Lawful Neutral / LA +1 *Note: the titanium's breath weapon deals twice the damage if it hits the same target a second time, three times the damage on the third time, etc., so should be the half-dragon's, while a half-dragon can only use its breath weapon once per day, there are some feats that allows it to use more often; since it gains one more powerful breath weapon, it's worth an additional +1 to LA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to their wild nature, the nexus and void dragons have been left out. So what do you think ? [/QUOTE]
