Dragonblood-themed Dragonkin... possible?


Rules Questions


Dragonkins were made playable in Alien Archive. The Dragonblood theme was added in Pact Worlds. Can you mix the two considering that Dragonkins are... essentially "already dragonblooded" :P ?

I've been reading and re-reading the entry and nothing is specified about what race cannot pick this theme. For instance, I don't see something like "can be applied only to non-Dragon character".


You are right, nothing prevents it. Think of it as that particular dragon kin has especially strong draconic heritage.


Not only can you, but you should if you want the most dragon-like character you can get.

Dragonkinkin + dragon blooded + solarian for full dragon goodness.


Why Solarian? I was thinking Mystic or TM.

Mystic or technomancer for perfect draconic heritage. So I agree with pithica42 here. A solarian doesn't really typify the draconic heritage.


I was thinking of a Dragonglaive-wielding Soldier, most specifically an Arcane Assailant ;)


Whats the theme give ya? Is "pact worlds" third party?


First party, its the newest Starfunder product. The theme grants a bonus to charisma, knowledge about dragons, changes how well intimidate works, a small boost to energy resistance and as a capstone regain resolve by counting your treasure or taking a scrooge McDuck style swim.


Ha! Atleast they did not include the gold sleeping bag this time. And seems fun.

For a gold-blooded dragonkin, a solarian is a perfect class!

-Take solar armor to get "extra hard scales" and fire resistance.
-"Breath fire" in a circle around yourself (supernova), and shoot long-range rays of fire from your mouth at higher levels.
-Other revelations either give you more fire-based abilities, give you extra resilience, improve your flying, or grant minor psychic powers.

I'd say it's a great choice for a the specifically fire-based dragonkin, but not necessarily for a cold, electric, or acid based one.


I can see that. I just always think of Dragons as wizards in really nasty shells.

Totally valid, it's just very difficult to have a shell quite that thick on a PC while still having spellcasting.

We'll have to wait for alternate elemental solarian archetypes ^^;
