Kismet's Racial Templates: Dragonblooded

 

 

A portrait of a dragonblooded druid

Portrait made on the PortraitWorks app (version 1.2.1)

 

Dragons are amongst the greatest creatures to roam the planes and they have spread their power across countless species. The dragonblooded are descended from half-dragons, and though they may not know it there is more power in them than meets the eye. What may seem like a normal human may have a fire running through their veins that comes down from the dawn of time, when their grand, scaled ancestors ruled with fang and claw.

Creating a Dragonblooded

The dragonblooded templates below may be applied to any corporeal creature (referred to hereafter as the "base creature”). The creature's type changes to "dragon.” It uses all of the creature's normal statistics except as noted below.

Most dragonblooded types receive adjustments to their stats as follows: +2 Strength, +2 Intelligence, -2 Dexterity. Green and brown dragonblooded do not receive these adjustments, however; their omission is intended.

All dragonblooded receive Intimidate as a class skill to reflect the natural predatory instincts that have been passed down to them.

Dragonblooded cast their spell-like abilities as sorcerers of their class level. The spell DC for a dragonblooded's spell-like abilities are 10 + Charisma modifier.

* Note: Abilities marked with an asterisk work like those listed under the appropriate dragon description, except for the values listed above. For example: A blue dragon's sound imitation ability mimics sound. It works at will, and the save is based on the dragon's frightful presence rating. The blue dragonblooded's ability also imitates sounds, but may only be used twice a day and uses the standard save for a dragonblooded's spell-like abilities (10 + Charisma modifier).

The breath weapons listed above can be used three times a day for 1d8 damage per attempt, or once a day for 1d4 damage per level. A dragonblooded line is 30 ft. long, 5 feet high, and 5 feet wide. A dragonblooded cone breath weapon is 15 ft. long, 15 feet high, and 15 feet wide. The save versus a dragonblooded's breath weapon is 10 + ½ their character level + Charisma modifier.

Dragon Fear [General]

Prerequisite(s): Half-dragons, dragonblooded with at least one other dragonblooded feat, Intimidate 12 ranks

Benefit: The character begins to manifest the dragon's legendary fearful presence, sending friend and foe alike fleeing when they attack, charge, or fly overhead. Creatures within a radius of 10 feet x character level are subject to the fear if they have fewer hit die than the character. Potentially affected creatures must make a Will save (10 + ½ their character level + Charisma modifier). Those that succeed are immune to the dragon fear for one day. Of those that fail, creatures with 4 or fewer HD are panicked for 4d6 rounds, and those with 5 or more HD are shaken for 4d6 rounds. Characters with this feat gain a bonus equal to ½ their character level to resist the fear effects of dragons, half-dragons, and other dragonblooded.

Dragon Wings [General]

Prerequisite(s): Dragonblooded, base Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves +2, and one other dragonblooded feat

Benefit: The blood of the dragon still runs strong in the character. They are able to grow wings that are smaller versions of dragon wings, allowing the character to fly at their land speed with average maneuverability. A medium or heavy load that affects land speed affects flying speed proportionately.

Dragon Years [General]

Prerequisite(s): Dragonblooded

Benefit: The character ages at a slower rate than normal, carrying on the tradition of strength and longevity passed down through their dragon ancestry. The character doubles the years available in each aging effects category (in the Player's Handbook).

Expanded Breath Weapon [General]

Prerequisite(s): Dragonblooded, Breath Weapon

Benefit: The character's breath weapon is able to affect a larger area. A line breath weapon becomes 40 feet long. A cone breath weapon becomes 20 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high.

Fang and Claw [General]

Prerequisite(s): Dragonblooded

Benefit: The dragonblooded gains bite and claw attack forms. These attacks do damage as appropriate to the character's size (see the Dragon Attacks chart in the Monster Manual).

Special: Most strangers will not be comfortable around a person who has noticeable fangs and claws. Dragons strike fear wherever they roam, and lizardfolk do not have nicest reputation. The more closeted a community is from exotic-looking people and half-breed characters, the more likely it is that the character will receive a negative penalty (–1 to –5) on social skill rolls. The character can avoid the negative penalty if they take care to conceal their claws. They can also make a Disguise check to downplay their fangs (DC 15 to 20).

Scales [General]

Prerequisite(s): Dragonblooded

Benefit: Your body sprouts scales that are the color of the dragon type from which you are descended. These scales cover the belly and back but begin to thin out heading toward the legs and arms. There may be some scales around the neck but very rarely do they appear on the face. The scales provide a natural armor bonus of +2.

Special: Most strangers will not be comfortable around a person who has scales. Dragons strike fear wherever they roam, and lizardfolk do not have the nicest reputation. The more closeted a community is from exotic-looking people and half-breed characters, the more likely it is that the character will receive a negative penalty (–1 to –5) on social skill rolls. The character can avoid the negative penalty if they take care to cover the parts of their body on which the scales have occurred. They can also make a Disguise check to cover up scales in key areas like the face (DC 15 to 20).
