Alternate Half-Dragon Template


Homebrew and House Rules


Just threw this together for fun a few days back as a continuation of the Dragon Disciple power creep for really high levels. Shout out your thoughts. Looking for all talkers. Please just give me a reason why you think what you do. Thanks in advance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Half-Blood Dragon

CR: Same as the base creature + 1. (Costs 1 Level of advancement)

Type: Creature type changes to dragon. Do not recalculate HD, BAB, or saves.

Armor Class: Nat. armor improves by +1.

Special Qualities and Defenses: A half-dragon gains darkvision 60 feet; low-light vision; and immunity to sleep, paralysis, and energy of the same type as its breath weapon. Claws and Wings from Draconic Bloodline become permanently activated.

Speed: A half-dragon has wings. Unless the base creature has a better fly speed, the half-dragon can fly at twice the creature's base land speed (average maneuverability).

Melee: A half-dragon has two claw attacks and a bite attack. If the base creature can use manufactured weapons, the half-dragon can as well.

Special Abilities: A half-dragon retains all the special attacks of the base creature.

Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +2, Con +2, Cha +2.


It looks fair to me. I don't see any reference to this type of half-dragon having a breath weapon. Was that intentional or did I misunderstand it?


I think that the breath weapon is too important to leave out completely because it is the heart of the draconic flavor. If you don't want it too powerful I'd nerf it down to like an elemental bite that adds 1 additional energy damage.
