The Hatchling's 15Rp

The Hatchling's are a small Draconic race often growing no bigger than a halfling. Cunning tricksters, Hatchling's enjoy outsmarting others. They possess a way with words and pick up languages quickly making them adept at manipulation. Often they are confused for Pseudodragons as the to creatures are remarkable similar. Hatchling's enjoy luxury and gold much like the rest of their race, even more so when the gold is another dragons. Hatchling's are generally not risk takers, they enjoy making elaborate plans for large heists.
Physical Description
Hatchling's are small, barely ever growing larger than 3 feet. There scales are not hard and armor-like like other dragons, it is does possess the same shine and color though. When bipedal they are raptor like, their wings too small for actual flight, although are capable of gliding. Their front claws are hand like allowing them to manipulate in them at the cost of being to weak to actually attack with. They very rarely wear clothing, being draconic they do however wear armor to supplement for their weak scales.
Society
They are tricksters, who often possess many vices. They use their wiles and wits to work their way into government work, or other generally high paying jobs that require little physical effort. Hatchling's are loners generally, they prefer not to work with other Hatchling's and can be rather territorial among their own kind. Despite their intelligence and wit they can sometimes be rather primal, in dealings with other Hatchling's and other dragons.
Hatchling's are small, cunning, tricksters but do not possess the same physical attributes of that of their larger cousins.

Gliding Wings Members of this race take no damage from falling (as if subject to a constant non-magical feather fall spell).

All creatures within the affected area must make a Reflex saving throw to avoid taking damage. The save DC against this breath weapon is 10 + 1/2 the user's character level + the user's Charisma modifier. Those who succeed at the save take no damage from the attack.
Energy Resistance Pick one of the following energy types that corresponds to the dragon type or plane the race has ties to: acid (earth), cold (water), electricity (air), or fire (fire). Members of this race have resistance 10 to the corresponding energy type.

Thinking about dropping them to Standard, Dex bonus instead of intelligence.
Changed a few things
