Adventure Dragon[edit]
A playable dragon race without all that pesky LA and stuff that makes it unusable. Adventure Dragons, unlike other dragons, grow more quickly when exposed to experience.
Personality[edit]
Apart from a desire for riches and a literal thirst for adventure, Adventure Dragons are a varied bunch.
Physical Description[edit]
Adventure Dragons look like dragons, with large, vaguely crescent-shaped stripes along their backs. Their base scale color and the color of the stripes are both indicative of their properties. Good dragons are shiny, Evil dragons aren't, and Neutral dragons are only shiny on either their stripes or other scales, but not both.
Relations[edit]
Adventure Dragons are rarely found in the company of other Adventure Dragons, instead choosing the company of the humanoid races.
Alignment[edit]
Adventure Dragons come in any alignment, as can be evidenced by the chromatic or metallic nature of their scales.
Lands[edit]
Wherever one can find meat, treasure, and enemies, the Adventure Dragons dare to go.
Religion[edit]
Adventure Dragons usually worship Draconic deities.
Language[edit]
All Adventure Dragons know Common and Draconic.
Names[edit]
Adventure Dragons typically have draconic names, frequently possessing an x or "aug".
