Bahamut's Plan - Sign up and Rules **READ THOROUGHLY**

ginpu · Last edited by ginpu on Sun Jun 10, 2007 11:02 pm; edited 2 times in total

Gonna try throwing together something for the weekend. Going to peel some stuff outta my Draconomican here. Proposing a dragon campaign.

I will list the dragons types and their abilities at equal levels. Some dragons will have less abilities, such as a Gold dragon, then a say Copper dragon would have at the same level because the Gold dragon is larger and has a higher level adjustment.

It's basically a little screw around for the weekend. There's only 5 of us around anyways, so why not have a little... fun?

Types to follow. You can put the character sheet here after I make it.

Was almost done and it was bugging me that the gold dragon still seemed way more powerful. I see why now. Gotta adjust the other 14 types. DOH!

Ok. got it all in typing. Sadly i wasted my whole night so far. damn you persistenceness and need to fullfill the RP desire! *shakes fist at the heavens*

Ahem... anyways. I present you with the following multiple posts to decide which type of dragon and feats/skills you intend to take. That should give me time to create a plot and environment. keke

=========================================
Everything is adjusted for ECL 13. This allows even the largest dragon at least 2 years of age. ECL means Effective Character Level. Hit die and abilities are calculated into figuring out what the level of the character is. I can't explain it very well in a few words. Thankfully the Draconomicon had most of it figured out for me. keke

All dragons are immune to sleep and paralysis effects. All dragons see 4x as well as a human in low light conditions, and twice as well in normal light. Dragons have darkvision up to 100ft. Darkvision is seeing in the dark, but everything is black and white.

Attacks: Bite, the dragon bites the target. The bigger the dragon, the more damage caused by the bite. Claw, the dragon has 2 claw attacks. The bigger the dragon, the more damage caused by the Claw. Dragons of medium size and larger have 2 wing attacks. The bigger the dragon, the more damage caused by the wing attacks.

All dragons have breath weapons. They are unlimited to the amount of times per day they can use it, however, they must wait some time in between using them. For chromatic dragons the timer is set for both weapons regardless of which one is used. They still must wait before using it again, or the other weapon.

HD=Hit Die
I don’t want to work with numbers. Just know that the less HD you have, the less hit points you have. So try and avoid god mode. You will become incapacitated quickly.

Gem Dragons – Neutral Alignment. Gem dragons possess an innate ability of Psionics. Most Gem Dragons breath weapons have the option to be subdual damage instead of normal damage. Subdual basically is trying to knock something out instead of killing it.

Type: Earth
Alignment: Lawful Neutral

These dragons don’t go in for small talk unless the discussion revolves around the military strategy, a subject on which they consider themselves experts, if not geniuses. In fact, a sapphire dragon may forgive visitors their presence if they offer it a game of strategy. Of course, it is never wise to let the dragon lose.
A sapphire dragon’s scales range from light to dark blue in color and they scintillate in any light, creating a cascade of ghostly glints on the walls.

A wyrmling’s scales are glossy white. As it ages, its scales become translucent. Moonlight and starlight cause them to luminesce, and full sunlight lends them a dazzling brilliance.

AMETHYST DRAGON
Age: 6 – Very Young 9HD
Size: Medium
Attacks: Bite, Claw, Wing
Type: Earth

They have lavender skin and scales they are shaped like naturally formed mineral crystals. When it first hatches, its scales are a light, translucent purple shade. As it grows older, they gradually darken and take on a crystalline quality.

EMERALD DRAGON
Age: 6 – Very Young 9HD
Size: Medium
Attacks: Bite, Claw, Wing
Type: Air
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
4 Feats: Choose from list
6 Skills: Choose from list
Description: Emerald Dragons are inquisitive, particularly about local history and customs. Often their knowledge surpasses that of the best sage. However these dragons are also rather paranoid, so developing even a passing acquaintance with once can be quite difficult. The scales of a wyrmling are translucent and sea green. As it ages, its scales harden and take on every shade of green from deep emerald to mint and they scintillate in even the dimmest light.
Special Abilities: Object Reading, Sonic Immunity
Breath Weapon: Cone of keening sonic energy. Target takes damage and is deafened temporarily.

TOPAZ DRAGON
Age: 4 – Wyrmling 9HD
Size: Small

Please pay attention to the dragon's alignment. You WILL be working with each other.

There are sometimes exceptions to a dragon's alignment. Sometimes other dragon types may take in a different one's in an attempt to make them good or evil. This is very rare, and I will consult my book to make the final decision. If you have any questions please ask me. Here or PM is fine.

Right. So I need to make a character sheet for you all to copy and fill out.
