Half Faerie Dragon Template

Dragons' magical nature allows them to crossbreed with virtually any creature. This usually occurs while the dragon has changed its shape; it then abandons the crossbreed young.

Half-dragon creatures are always more formidable than their fellows, and their appearance betrays their nature--scales, elongated features, reptilian eyes, and exaggerated teeth and claws. Sometimes they have wings.

CREATING A HALF-DRAGON

"Half-dragon" is a template that can be added to any corporeal creature (referred to hereafter as the "base creature"). The creature's type becomes "dragon." It uses all the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted here.

Size: Same as base creature. .

Speed: Half-Faerie dragons  have butterfly wings and can fly at their normal movement (good maneuverability)

AC: Natural armor improves by +2.

Damage: Half-dragons have bite and claw attacks. If the base creature does not have these attack forms, use the damage values in the table below. Otherwise, use the values below or the base creature's damage, whichever is greater.

half-dragon retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains a breath weapon based on the dragon variety, usable only once per day. Use all rules for dragon breath (see the Dragon entry) except as specified in the table below.

Cone of Euphoria Gas Reflex save Dc 15 or wander aimlessly in a state of euphoric bliss for                              2d6 rounds.  Creatures so affected cannot attack and may not act unless they make a will save dc 15    and lose their dex bonus to AC.  

Special Qualities: A half-dragon has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus low-light vision and darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Half-dragons are immune to sleep and paralysis effects, and have additional immunities based on their dragon variety.

Saves: Same as base creature.

Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Int +4, Wis +4, Cha +2.

Skills: A half-dragon has 6 skill points, plus its Intelligence modifier, per Hit Die. Treat skills from the base creature's list as class skills and other skills as cross-class. If the creature has a class, it gains skills for class levels normally.

Feats: Half-dragons have one feat for every four levels or the base creature's total feats, whichever is greater. Half-dragons have access to, and usually favor, the dragon feats.
