SAMPLE DRAGONS
Fellithysaar Great Wyrm Brass Dragon As old as his desert home, Fellithysaar speaks with the wisdom of ages in his low, rumbling voice. Unlike Conjazmynabryte, he gladly shares his thoughts with anyone who will listen, hoping thereby to make the world better for his having been in it. Scarred from literally hundreds of past battles, Fellithysaar knows his end is near, and meets every possible threat wondering, “Will this be my doom at last?” An aura of resigned melancholy surrounds him, yet his endless stories are full of heroism, virtue, and hope.

SAMPLE BRONZE DRAGONS Listed below are twelve sample bronze dragons, one of each age category. The descriptions include basic personality and encounter notes that the DM will want to flesh out for his campaign, along with a set of statistics that make the dragon ready to play. Water Breathing (Ex): All bronze dragons can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use their breath weapons, spells, and other abilities underwater. Skills: A bronze dragon can move through water at its swim speed without making Swim checks. It has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. The dragon can always can choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. The dragon can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. Immersa Wyrmling Bronze Dragon Immersa is as playful as a dolphin and curious as a cat. She seldom sits still. Immersa loves animals, and makes frequent use of her speak with animals ability. She has befriended almost every creature that swims, flies, or crawls along her section of rocky seacoast. She finds humanoid fishers and hunters somewhat distasteful. While she would never deny a being sustenance or a means of making a livelihood, she remains alert for signs of over harvesting, killing for sport, or cruelty. From time to time, Immersa aids shipwrecked sailors, helping them to shore and sending them inland toward civilization. This gives her a good reputation among the local sailors even if the hunters and fishers don’t care for her much.
