[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 1502097, member: 192"] Thanks for your comments, Scott! I was certain that it is intentional (no amount of errors could turn a "true dragon" into a "lesser dragon"). But it is still a bit disappointing that they are not true dragons. Maybe if I have the time... :D OK. I didn't really consider the possibility that the ability could be supernatural. :) I'd like to hear it. ;) Or maybe they sometimes find portals that lead into volcanoes, where the volcano giants already wait. :) OK. If I have to, my guess would be template. That's why I said nearly useless. I just think that the cost to do this is too big in my opinion. Admittedly, I am not an expert in feat design, but it still seems to costly. I assume changing it to caster level, right? Hey, Gez! Well, the 3.5 monster update for the FR books changes the Dekanter Goblin to humanoid, and the Fiend Folio was really more of a "3.4" book than a "3.5" book. ;) According to the SRD (Man ,I do much quoting in this thread, don't I?): And since humanoid in the DnD rules does mean creatures of the humanoid type, monstrous humanoids are out. But as I said earlier, I do agree to not limiting humanoid subtypes to humanoids - there's a reason the moss gnome has the gnome subtype. (Maybe 4th edition should use two different types of subtypes, one of them "kind" subtypes. Imagine the bebilith, though: Huge Outsider [Arachnid, Demon-Tanar'ri] (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil) :D;)) [/QUOTE]
