You are all GODS!!

Yes I hope so, all around my character is creating things. Living things.

I'm considering having my god take up dragon-kind as part of his portfolio, given my penchant for dragons. Anyway, I'm still working out the general personality besides a penchant for championing a cause on the battlefield.

I was wondering, does anyone have any advice on giving dragon-like traits to my god? I had considered just using the Half-Dragon template, but wasn't sure if I can even apply that using the creation rules.

You could BE a dragon, choose dragon subtype, and get a gargantuan size for example, pick movement type Fly, perhaps alternate form, into that spartan gladiator you mentioned early. Pick natural attacks, a breath weapon and a couple of spell like abilities to emulate dragon spells. Fast healing would be nice, a fear aura also. Don't know, there are many things you could try out.

Here are the Dragon type Traits

A dragon possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in the description of a particular kind).

* Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision.
* Immunity to magic sleep effects and paralysis effects.
* Proficient with its natural weapons only unless humanoid in form (or capable of assuming humanoid form), in which case proficient with all simple weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.
* Proficient with no armor.
* Dragons eat, sleep, and breathe.

How would the Dragon and outsider types interact? As for the rest of the advice, it seems pretty good. I may perhaps spend some trait points on increasing the god's flying manueverability, lol.

For natural attacks, Dragons have... claws, bite, tail, Dragon Crush, right?

You get the best of both.

I myself have always thought of dragons as gods in their own right, they are strong enough to destroy armies and smart enough to comand their own. There are already dragon gods too, Tiamat and Bahamut being the most well known but there are many others. I think it would mean little to the outsiders because if what they have seen already haven't freaked them out than a dragon won't.

I had meant the types mechanically speaking, not entities of the two. Thanks for the reply... (And I've always been fascinated by dragons... maybe that's because I AM a dragon by chinese astrology.) So, definitely going with a dragon. Now to determine how many points I need to spend to get all the dragon stuff.

New question: If I spend trait points to change Torath's type to Dragon, does that mean he has 20d12 HD instead of 20d8?

@Theroc: I have also always had a fascination for dragons my entire life and have spent a lot of time gathering a collection of dragon statues and art in all forms. On the nature of points you don't have to take a breath weapon, you could be a dragon that reveles in physical combat and with the lack of a breath weapon it means you have more points to spend on physical attributes.

@Voda: I have usually been listening to "This is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas when I write for Duretep, it puts me into the proper state of mind to writ e for an insane god

@Everyone: Do you think that I should put all of the "moods" that Duretep has in RG so evreyone knows what is going on when he switches or is it good as it is now?
