However, as Terry "Ferratus" Doetzel is often given to say, there are a number of potential story hooks which could arise from some crazed cultist, wizard, or minion of a Dragon Overlord attempting to acquire draconic powers. Sean K Reynold's short 3-level half-dragon template class might fit the bill: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20030912a Note that this isn't the same as the process by which Dhamon slowly changed into a dragon, nor is it what happens to spawn, although it's certainly similar. Regardless, having seen it I felt it perhaps useful to bring folks' attention to the article in case they've had some interest in the idea but want to introduce it slowly. Cheers, Cam

At least according to 2nd Ed., there *are* Krynnish half-dragons. However, they can arise only from the mating of a male silver dragon with a female human, half-elf, or elf. They don't have all the same abilities and such as standard half-dragons. Instead, they look like a human, elf, or half-elf, with silver hair and eyes. They have a +1 to every ability score. That's it. No horns or scales or anything... Banshee

Whatever month is the one in which they do the Dragon themed issues. I don't recall the issue #, as the magazine's not at hand. But there was a Caldwell painting of dragons on it. That is the first issue in which half-dragons appeared, though they appeared in the Council of Worms setting at first. They also had half-dragons for Oriental dragons, and the 3 or 4 "heavy metal" dragons....the Iron Dragon, Tungsten Dragon, and two others. Banshee
