===Creating a Half-Dragon=== “Half-dragon” is an inherited template that can be added to any living, corporeal creature (referred to hereafter as the base creature). A half-dragon uses all the base creature’s statistics and [[SRD:Special Abilities|special abilities]] except as noted here. '''Size and Type:''' The creature’s type changes to {{Property Link|Type|SRD:Dragon Type|Dragon}}. Size is [[Size::As Base Creature|unchanged]]. Do not recalculate [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] or saves. '''[[SRD:Hit Dice (Creature Statistic)|Hit Dice:]]''' Increase base creature’s racial [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] by one die size, to a maximum of d12. Do not increase [[SRD:Class|class]] [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. '''[[SRD:Speed (Creature Statistic)|Speed:]]''' A half-dragon that is Large or larger has wings and can fly at twice its base land speed (maximum 120 ft.) with average maneuverability. A half-dragon that is Medium or smaller does not have wings. '''[[SRD:Armor Class (Creature Statistic)|Armor Class:]]''' [[SRD:Armor Class|Natural armor]] improves by +4. '''[[SRD:Attack (Creature Statistic)|Attack:]]''' A half-dragon has two claw attacks and a bite attack, and the claws are the primary [[SRD:Natural Weapon|natural weapon]]. If the base creature can use weapons, the half-dragon retains this ability. A half-dragon fighting without weapons uses a claw when making an attack action. When it has a weapon, it usually uses the weapon instead. '''[[SRD:Full Attack (Creature Statistic)|Full Attack:]]''' A half-dragon fighting without weapons uses both claws and its bite when making a full attack. If armed with a weapon, it usually uses the weapon as its primary attack and its bite as a natural secondary attack. If it has a hand free, it uses a claw as an additional natural secondary attack. '''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 values, whichever are greater. {| class="zebra d20" |- ! align="left" | '''Size'''!! '''Bite Damage'''!!

A half-dragon’s [[SRD:Breath Weapon|breath weapon]] deals 6d8 points of damage. A successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + 1/2 half-dragon’s racial [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] + half-dragon’s [[SRD:Constitution|Con]] modifier) reduces damage by half. {| class="zebra d20" |- !

A half-dragon has immunity to ''[[SRD:Sleep|sleep]]'' and [[SRD:Paralysis|paralysis]] effects, and an additional immunity based on its [[SRD:Dragon Type|dragon]] variety. {| class="zebra d20" |- !

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A half-dragon gains [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] as a [[SRD:Dragon Type|dragon]] and has [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] equal to (6 + [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] modifier) x ([[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] + 3). Do not include [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] from [[SRD:Classes|class levels]] in this calculation—the half-dragon gains [[SRD:Dragon Type|dragon]] [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] only for its racial [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]], and gains the normal amount of [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]] for its [[SRD:Classes|class levels]]. Treat skills from the base creature’s list as [[SRD:Class|class]] skills, and other skills as cross-[[SRD:Class|class]]. '''[[SRD:Environment (Creature Statistic)|Environment:]]''' Same as either the base creature or the [[SRD:Dragon Type|dragon]] variety. '''[[SRD:Challenge Rating (Creature Statistic)|Challenge Rating:]]''' Same as the base creature + 2 (minimum 3). '''[[SRD:Alignment (Creature Statistic)|Alignment:]]''' Same as the [[SRD:Dragon|dragon variety]]. '''[[SRD:Level Adjustment (Creature Statistic)|Level Adjustment:]]''' Same as base creature +3. {{SRD Creature Footer}} [[Category:Dragon Type|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Template|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Lawful Alignment|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Neutral (Law-Chaos) Alignment|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Chaotic Alignment|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Good Alignment|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Neutral (Good-Evil) Alignment|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Evil Alignment|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:LA3|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Challenge Rating::3+| ]]
