CosmicKeyring says:
So the half-dragon stuff is called templates, does that mean we pick a race and then add the half-dragon features to it?
Merlin says:
So we build these characters as normal, but add the templates?
Crixus says:
Yes you add the template after making your character.
HypCo says:
Okay, sorry for me asking but I just want to be crystal clear on this part. We pick a race (dwarf, elf, halfling, etc...) then add the template?
Wow, so I thought Half-Dragon was a race in and of itself (with the type as subrace). In other words I was looking at it as a homebrew dragonborn. But I guess I was wrong.

So you mean you can have a Half-Human-Half-Dragon? Or a Half-Dragon-Half-Elf (that would make it a quarter-elf)? A Half-Halfling sounds funny. And what happens if you start with a PHB Dragonborn and lay the Half-Dragon template on it?!

Joking aside, with the template racial features on top of standard racial features this is badass stuff!

I guess I'm joining now! Gonna get to work on my character straight away. One thing, does the standard system include point-buy?
Jun 5, 2017 12:44 pm
I've posted Teraxus Grimtooth, a Radiant, Astral, Half- Dragon, Dragonborn Paladin (just managed to say that without taking a breath).
Jun 5, 2017 8:57 pm
I didn't get a reply so I went ahead and made my character with point-buy. If that's not okay just say and I'll switch to the standard array.

Anyway, I've posted my character: Hinoka the Chosen, Fang, Half-Dragon, High Elf Kensei Monk.

Also, one other thing. What is the appearance of the Half-Dragons like? Is it just like their non dragon race with wings and stuff or is it more like just a humanoid dragon with very few traits of the non dragon race?

Hey y'all! Thanks for the invite. I'll put together a character in a bit here. Excited about a higher-than-1st-level starting point!
Jun 8, 2017 9:20 pm
As tempting as the psionics are, I'm 90% sure I'm going shadow -> war cleric or valor bard...?
Jun 8, 2017 9:49 pm
As far as I know we dont have either of those, so probably a good idea! I don't have any idea wherew everyone else has disappeared off to though...
Jun 8, 2017 10:36 pm
I'm just waiting. We haven't heard from or DM in a long while.
Jun 8, 2017 10:46 pm
Yep, just waiting here as well. Our current party , I believe, is:
Mystic
Wizard
Fighter
Paladin
Monk
Jun 8, 2017 10:48 pm
Cleric would be perfect, but bard has healing too.
Jun 8, 2017 10:48 pm
Perfect, that cements it for me... Heals and archery!

(May end up going with that new UA heals warlock, but hey. Same idea)

Edit: And rolls...

14, 10, 15, 14, 14, 17.

Not bad!

Here we have Felix the half-Aasimar / half Astral dragon Valor Bard

Aasimar/Pyroclastic Healer and archer... think slightly Phoenix-like.
Jun 9, 2017 9:26 pm
So is it time to get a search party together to find the DM?
Jun 9, 2017 9:42 pm
Yeah, its been over a week, I'm beginning to worry...

Also Tookie, what's the source on the pyroclastic longbow? I can't find it any of my books.

Ooh, also I forgot to link to my sheet before, so here it is: Hinoka, the Half High-Elf / Half Fang Dragon Monk

Sorry, that's more of a note to myself. The astral dragon Pyroclastic type can summon (as a bonus action) a weapon that deals +(proficiency)d8 per hit. So I'm planning on using a summoned longbow to do 4d8 twice per round! Only downside is I can't use it for reaction OAs (it disappears at end of turn).
Jun 9, 2017 9:59 pm
Aaaah, makes sense. Also really cool!
Jun 9, 2017 10:01 pm
I can't see Hinoka's sheet; I believe you'd need to share it to the library to make it visible to more than you and the GM.
Jun 9, 2017 10:07 pm
Sorry, I think its fixed now!

Looking at it, the pyroclastic perk looks brutally powerful in comparison to the other features of its kind. The only others that even come close are perhaps Howling and Tartarian, and even then they don't offer the sheer utility of an extra (proficiency)d8 every turn.

I know, it's quite good. I almost didn't take it for that reason, but I'm hoping for a high power level game, given the template options. The tartarian was a close contender; heal and control? Yes please. I also was eyeing the Fang, but didn't want to step on any toes! Hinoka looks pretty great!
