I don't actually want the Draco lords to ever turn into actual dragons.  They just get bigger and bigger.Now.. I suppose that having the Dracos want metal could work.. I could steal an idea from a DM friend of mine.. Have the Dracos eat different metals.. ie.. Copper Ore..makes you green.. Pure Copper.. well.. makes you copper..you know.. that kind of thing..   Brimstone for Reds,, Gold for Golds..  and the reason different Draco's would chose a different substance to eat.. is purely personal preference..   I might make it difficult for the Kobold's and Lizardmen to eat the metals.. The other thing is.. I was thinking of personalising the Void Casters..   Each of the different Void Casters require a special focus to cast their magics.. most groups just use a Dagger of some sort.. because you just cut yourself to make a wound.Elves.. they were a special helmet/facemask.. basically it is just a chrome egg helmet (that they can see and breath through).. when they start actually casting Void magic or have the Void Taint, it changes and it starts to look like a void.. (I am thinking with stars in it)  Any damage they take from casting.. is basically cracks of Voidness that consumes there body but not from the edges.. and if they have time to heal.. the void goes away.  So a Mage who has got like 1 hp left from casting.. almost completely looks like a Void creature of some sort.Because of this, the Void Mage Elves, tend to wear long dark flowly robes.The Deep Dwarves - Well.. their focus is a pair of special gauntlets.  For them to cast they usually just hit themselves on the chest or arms or legs.. and that part of their flesh becomes more stonelike (not affecting movement) and starts to crack.  So somebody on 1 hp from Void Magic, looks like a shattered statue that has somehow managed to stay in one piece.Um..Standard Dwarves.. they just use an Athame.. a kind of dagger (wavy like a Kris, yeah.. I like that) and cut themselves.. and then blackness consumes them as the magic takes hold.. so a Void Mage on 1 hp seems to be a weakened dwarf covered in blackness.Rage Dwarves - well.. they have a tradition of competely shaving.. and tattooing a Skull onto their face.. and tattooing black tentrils all over their bodies.. starting from their head.  They just cut themselves with a Athame.. but they just start to be racked in pain (that shows on their faces and by their stance) that does not have any game effects at this point.Now.. Human Void Mages. well.. they really tend to have either the Standard Dwarves method.. or the Rage Dwarves method (just minus the tattoos in most cases)  Half-Elves are allowed to enter the Elven Tradition.. and if there is a Half-Deep Dwarf.. they are allowed to enter the Deep Dwarf Tradition.Yeah.. I like those differences.The Rage Dwarves.. the Skull Mask tradition.. is also used by their "scouts" which is a kind of assassin tradition, so a Rage Dwarf with the tattoos may not be a pure Void Mage (but if they have the blackness they are)</blockquote>
