Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 6194660" data-attributes="member: 52734">I like drakes, and I hope they keep them.  To me dragons are creatures innately tied to magic, intelligent and noble.  Drakes are bestial, stupid ( as in their Int score) and relatively non-magical.  To me, they'd share the toughness, armor, flight and possibly a breath weapon, but drakes lack the ability to be negotiated with or use magical abilities or spells.And while I'd certainly enjoy a rage drake having mechanical differences from a guard dog, I want my wizards to have a choice to have rage drake guards - or even a mountain lion or goblin dog, even if the stats are 99% the same.  Each one of those guard critters should have a different feel in some way, even if they're mechanically similar.As to dragonspawn, I think the existing ones are dumb, but the idea is sound.  A dragon somehow using its essence to create minions or followers to do its bidding.  I could see a Red Dragon, for example, creating Fire Belchers to keep annoying locals away from its lair without having to deal with constantly patrolling its lair.  A black dragon might make Deathwings, pteradactl-like creatures that go out and pollute crops or wells out of sheer malice.  A Green Dragon might make Vinelures, small chameloen dragon-like things that abduct creatures to bring before its master to give him tribute.  A White dragon might create a Longtooth, a dragon-like ambusher who roams the bare tundra for prey to kill and take back to its dragon master, so said dragon doesn't have to spend its time searching for sparse sources of food.</blockquote>
