As JoeGKushner pointed out, "it's nice to have a half-dragon race that isn't +4 ECL", but I don't think this fits my idea of the half-dragon. It's a good fit for a dragon-blooded race, but since most of its power come from feats, it'll take forever to approach the core template.On another note, two things that I wish had been clearer in the book is how to apply the racial template to the core races. I'm thinking specifically of what constitutes a racial bonus and what is cultural since this determines what the half-dragon retains. For instance, are the human bonus skill points and feat a result of natural talent or social pressures? It's a gray area that could have been cleared up with a small chart, IMO.And despite several rereadings, the myth at the beginning continues to confuse me, particularly with regard to the Heartspear's origin. There's mention of some fantastical tree (I don't have my book in front of me) from which the Spear is crafted, but it seems fragmentary and disjointed.Perhaps I'm just dense. :\Whoops! I just thought of two other points of confusion. There's mention of two Sorcerer variants in the book and two lists of feats to model the differing approaches to sorcery, but the two feat trees don't appear to be in the book. they're both listed on the list of feats, but I can't find them in the feat descriptions.And lastly, no favored class: Sorcerer for dragonkin? I thought that was practically canon when it came to the dragon blooded.</blockquote>
