New Draconic character


Shackled City Adventure Path


Ok. I'm running Zenith Chapter and a new PC arised. Player wants it to be a Draconic character from Draconomicon. Taking this idea I made him a Dhorlot's son. What do you think? I think it makes sense as Dhorlot could have been trying other forms of fingerlings before the kuo-toans, couldn't he?

Problem is that I find Draconic character level adjustement too low, so I changed it to fit the Wyrm Blooded Trait from the SCAP HC. Here it is:

* AC +1 (natural)
* 2 Claw attacks (1d3)
* Darkvision 60' and Low-Light vision
* +4 vs acid
* STR +2, CON +2, CAR +2
* +2 Swim, +1 Spot, +1 Listen
* -1 Reflex Savings
* +1 Lvl Adjusment

I'm not sure if "Draconic" is a Template or a Race by itself. What do you think?

Q. (Sorry for my bad english)

I don't have the Draconomicon but I checked the Draconic template from Races of the Dragon. I thought that the +1 Lvl Adjustment seemed low but what you have here is pretty much exactly what they have there. What is different seems to be more in line with what a green dragons descendant might be.

The Draconic template are the same from both Draconomicon and Races of the Dragon.

I actually blend the Draconic template with the Wyrm Blooded Trait from SCAP HC, which it is based upon a Black Dragon (Dhorlot).

To fit the Lvl adjustement I changed sleep , paralisis saving throws to acid (it seems more specific) and added the -1 to Reflex ST. I also changed the +2 bonus to intimidation and spot to +2 bonus to Swim and a splited +1 to both spot and listen. Do you think it is enough?

I liked the changes you made to bring it more in line with a black dragon. I think what you've done is enough for the +1 Lvl adjustment especially with the -1 to Reflex saves.

Yes. In fact, one of his other progeny (a half-minotaur son named Zarik Dhor) shows up later in the adventure path (Secrets of the Soul Pillars) looking for his father or the folks who murdered him.

Oh, yes. That's true. I didn't remember it! :D Wow, that makes a perfect scene for roleplaying! "You, my brother in law, why did you kill father?!?!" Hehehe.
