Feats

This powerful humanoid has black, scaled skin, sharp claws and fangs, and a pair of forward-curving horns above its eyes.

Description

A dragon’s magical nature allows it to breed with virtually any creature. Conception usually occurs while the dragon has changed its shape; it then abandons the crossbreed offspring.

Half-dragon creatures are always more formidable than others of their kind that do not have dragon blood, and their appearance betrays their nature—scales, elongated features, reptilian eyes, and exaggerated teeth and claws. Sometimes they have wings.

Combat

Half-black dragon fighters use two-handed (often exotic) weapons. Aggressive and temperamental, they’re usually itching for a battle. They often lead other evil warriors, but fight as individuals.

This half-dragon is based on a 4th-level human fighter with the following ability scores: Str 14, Dex 13, Con 16, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 10.

Breath Weapon (Su): 30-foot line, once per day, damage 6d8 acid, Reflex DC 14 half. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Possessions: +1 full plate armor, masterwork two-bladed sword, 2 javelins.
