Message: <blockquote data-quote="Krishnath" data-source="post: 567476" data-attributes="member: 56">Personally, I would rather see the missing chromatics as independant draconic species instead of as crossbreeds, as the crossbreeding concept of different draconic species cheapens the concept of dragons. Although dragons can and do crossbreed with one another on occassion, this crossbreeding evenetually causes the evolution of new species. In the 2E article about the three missing chromatic dragons, it is even suggested that the purple, orange, and yellow dragons are infact their own species. But alas, I'm beginning to rant.Now, If we make them as autnomous species, they can still originally have been crossbreeds. But the dragons genes allows them to produce wiable offspring with any creature (Yes, even with golems, oozes, plants, and undead, YUCK!). This offspring will be a very viable individual and will be fertile. (Yes dragon vampires can produce offspring with living creatures, sounds stupid but it's true. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />) So for example a cross between a blue and a red, will be a purple dragon, and if two purple dragons get together to produce offspring they will breed true, in other words, their offspring will all be purple dragons.But what I find interresting is that only two of the 'missing' chromatics are color crosses, as you cannot combine any of the original cromatics to create a yellow dragon. Also, I find it interresting that the 'crossbreeds' (I hate calling them that) possess abilities that neither of their 'parent' species have, such as the serrated teeth and claws of the purple dragon.Now, as I said, I would rather see them as independant species, and that is what I am conversting the purple dragon as, an independant species.If you can help me with my dilemmas I would welcome any ideas you might have, but unfortunatly having their breathweapon deal two types of damage is very hard to do in 3E.Regarding the purple dragons breathweapon, personally I would rather have it deal some other type of damage rather than fire and/or electricity.I have narrowed down its breathweapon shape to a line (discarding the other two forms.) as I think that would be the most effective shape of an energy breathweapon. The main trouble I am having with the breathweapon is determing what energy type to use as neither fire or electricity will cut it. Force perhaps? I'm leaning towards going with a light based breathweapon, as this will go well with the breathweapons described bling qualities.Also I need help with determening what immunitied the dragon should have. I might give it immunities to fire and blindness or some such. And I still need good ideas for spells to replace the following two with:Affect Normal Fires (juvenile)Fire Charm (adult)Any ideas would be appreciated.</blockquote>
