==Drake==<onlyinclude><includeonly>====[[Drake (3.5e Class)|Drake]]====</includeonly>

Dragons have a reputation for subtlety in their dealings that is usually well-deserved. Not so in the case of Drakes. Drakes prefer to take the physical direct approach to combat, and a combative approach to life's problems.

<noinclude>===Making a Drake===</noinclude><includeonly>=====Making a Drake=====</includeonly>

'''Abilities:''' Drakes generally value their Strength and Constitution scores most highly. More than other dragons, Drakes also value their Dexterity scores, as nimbleness often serves them well in physical confrontations. Other ability scores like Intelligence and Charisma are often allowed to fall by the wayside.

'''Races:''' The Drake class is only available to scaled races with draconic associations. Most are [[Dragon, Libram (3.5e Race)|Dragons]], but not all are. Some are instead Kobolds or Lizardfolk.

'''Alignment:''' Any.

'''Starting Gold:''' 4d4&times;10 gp (100 gp).

'''[[SRD:Race Descriptions#Starting Age|Starting Age]]:''' Simple (As [[rogue]]) or 2d6 years for [[Dragon, Libram (3.5e Race)|Dragons]].

<noinclude>===Class Features===</noinclude><includeonly>=====Class Features=====</includeonly>

All of the following are class features of the Drake.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Drakes are proficient with their natural weapons only and with no armor.

'''{{Anchor|Dragon Catch-Up}}:''' Drakes that aren't dragons have to catch up to them, and do. They gain the same Claw attacks and inherent armor as [[Dragon, Libram (3.5e Race)|Dragons]] do.

'''{{Anchor|Attribute Boost}}:''' At 1st level and every odd numbered level afterward, the Drake's physical attributes improve, as if it had gained several character levels. Every time the Drake gains an attribute boost, its Strength and Constitution irrevocably increase by 1.

'''{{Anchor|Combat Talent}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'''A Drake may add the listed number to it's base attack bonus for purposes of unlocking abilities of [ Combat ] Feats. If playing with fractional BAB, instead count the Elemental Brute class as providing full BAB for purposes of unlocking [ Combat ] Feat abilities.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}}:''' At every even numbered level, the Drake gains a bonus feat. This feat may be any [[Concept:3.5e Dragon Feats|[Dragon]]], or [[Concept:3.5e General Feats|[General]]] feat, and the Fiendish Brute must meet the prerequisites. These feats can be [Dragon] feats even if it wouldn't otherwise be allowed to take [Dragon] feats (such as because it's a lizardfolk and not a dragon)</onlyinclude>
