god am i glad someone is doing these up right. just a question tho . youve mentioned the missing cromatics but what about the metalics mentioned in 2 . mercury, titanium and some thing else. are there plans for them as well?
and on a mildly connected note. does anyone else feel there should be more variation in the 1/2dragon templates? im currently working on individual templates for each dragon type. different but balanced. i cant see a white half drqagon getting the same str and con as a red dragon. there like almost half the size when adult anyway just a question.
keep up the great work i look forward to the next dragon.
p.s. is that doc file of the purple dragon a template page.
Sengir Lackey: Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but the mercury and titanium dragons are not true metallic dragons, the former is neutral, and the latter is a ferrous dragon. But yes, I do intend to convert them aswell. As for the half-dragon template, and variations thereof, read the Draconomicon. And finally, no the Purple Dragon stats in that doc file are written as the dragons are in the MM.
Thank you for your comments though (and waiting for an email reply from Kevida)
The mercury dragon is chaotic good, actually... I believe that it's not considered a true metallic dragon (like the steel dragon) because it only has one breath weapon. At least, that's the explanation I read somewhere.
Ah, but neither the steel or the mercury dragons are true metallic dragons (i.e: They aren't closely related to other metallic dragons) because of one very simple thing, they lack a secondary breathweapon. In the same vein, the brown dragon is not a true chromatic dragon either, because it lacks the ability to fly.
In other words, they share similarities with the metallic dragons, but belong to another family (or two).
