What happens to a lightning draconian who is evil.. as in do they still retain the same abilities: Aura of Good, Detect Evil, Smite Evil, and Turn Undead specifically. Also it is said they can cast spells as a 6th level paladin.

Personally, I don't mind them keeping all th abilities with the exception of Aura of Good. Obviously he wouldnt give off an Aura of Good if he was evil. the other abilities I kind of see as an "inheritance". Even though he is evil, he can still detect evil and even smite it.

I was just wondering about other people's thoughts because with 3.0/3,5 anything can be good or evil and was just wondering how this would be handled. My personal opinions aside on the noble draconians, curiosity has gotten to me on what to do if there should ever be an evil one. I figure hey if you can find good draconians, you can find evil noble draconians, even if there arent very many left.

Perhaps replace the inherent paladin abilities with inherent blackguard abilities (or one of the base class variants in Dragon).

I would second the blackguard "paladin level replacement" option.

I've a lightning draconian in my current campaign (Nakash, which is "worthless" in Nerakese) who told the heroes that the Dragonarmies named his kind "azurak", but that he refuses to use it. An evil lightning draconian might not, however. The names I gave the other four noble draconian breeds were ivaks (white), ebaks (black), vertaks (green) and kimzaks (red). You might try something similar to distinguish them from the good noble draconians.

Cheers,

How about Rojzak.

Rojo is another name for red.
