Have you guys seen the Dragonomicon?

Got some good stuff. DOn't know how much is applicable to SK's and Borys, but thought it might have some good stuff for Drakes.
It actually has a few elemental drakes, but all are weak.

Gotta couple of questions for whoever's doing monsters.
Are Drakes going to have the Dragon type?
Are they going to resemble the MM Dragons at all?

and most importantly,
Are we gonna get to see 'em anytime soon?

Yeah, great book, not sure how applicable it can be to Athas though since the drakes and dragon on Athas are quite different than those from normal campaigns, but I guess some of that stuff could be used. Just haven't really thought about it much. Course it would have to become OGL as well for us to use it.

Yes.

Drakes and dragons are two different things, so no. Basically a weaker version of dragons from other worlds I guess.

and most importantly,

Very soon. Can't give a time frame though sorry.

Just please keep being patient with us, you'll get to sink your teeth in it soon enough.

One last question.
Could you give us an idea of what the Drakes' CRs will be?

Yup.

Bingo. The problem is that Athasian Dragons, and Athasian Drakes are radically different from other game worlds. Drakes are elementally-structured a bit with some interesting side-effects due to that. Dragons aren't even naturally-occuring creatures, but are the results of an arcane spellcaster (specifically, a Defiler)/psionic manifester altering his very nature into something quite unnatural.
