[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9756591, member: 2209"] I know gem dragons are neutral and sometimes associated with psionics. I could not tell you their breath weapons, themes, weaknesses, or what the individual gems covered are. And I had the 1e Dragon article and the 3e web enhancement article on them. Linnorms are evil two legged wyrms, Norse themed and Niddhog is one. In pathfinder they have curses. Associated with natural features, maybe, like forest or swamps? Oriental dragons from 1e FF are associated with things like rivers, are called lungs, can command scaly creatures, and have breath weapons like steam, I think. Metallics I only know the breath weapons for gold and brass are fire plus something else, sleep for golds? Metallics have two breath weapons an energy and some magical effect like slow or repulsion, but I could not tell you who got what. A little about characterization such as bronze at sea, brass in desert, copper as enjoying puzzles and jokes and silver and gold as noble champions of good, sometimes behind the scenes. Gold are lawful good. Planar dragons exist as do expansions such as deep/purple ones and things like iron dragons but I could not tell you a lot about them. I remember reading about rust dragons from Acheron with a rust breath weapons for. Mostly I know chromatic fairly well off the top of my head, metallics a little, and that others exist. [/QUOTE]
