Attributes
- Rage: a rarely-invoked, powerful, costly energy source.
- Curiousity: applies mainly to the young (read: PCs). When not satisfied, threatens to derail attention and force you to examine interesting things.
Skill Uses
- For each rank of the skill, you may also take one of the following boons:
- +1 to any ability score
- +1 innate DR (stacks with armor and spells)
- +5 resist (fire) (doubles each time)
- etc
- Diminishing returns?
Note: this is probably going away if/when skill ranks do.
Breath Weapon
All dragons can breathe fire.
- Breath of Fire: At-will, std, cone 5+1/skill point or line 10+2/skill point; 1d8+skill mod fire damage. Costs 1 Rage.
- Each additional point of Rage spent adds 1d8 damage.
Shifting
By default, no shifting.
- Level 3: claws and fangs.
- Level 5: wings for gliding, occasional enlargement.
- Level 10: wings for short-duration flight, occasional full-dragon.
- Level 15: wings for any flight, more reliable full-dragon.
- Level 20: full-dragon at will.
High Rage values can force a draconic shift without PC control.
Feats
General
- Natural Armor: Gain DR 1. Stacks with armor. This feat is stackable, but cannot exceed 3 stacks per level.
