Sep 28, 2003 1:52:28 If a Blue Dragon and a Silver Dragon were to interbreed, how would you figure out the result? Or would reproduction not even be possible? (Logically you can replace the mixes with any other metallic or chromatic dragons, but it comes from an idea that occured to me about when the dragons, of all colors, were hiding from the Overlords.)

Sep 28, 2003 3:52:38 I should have read that template a little more carefully. I skimmed it, and assumed it didn't cross over to the more powerfull races, i.e. other dragons. Thanks for correcting the course.

Metallic dragons had a higher chance of breeding true than chromatic dragons, while gem dragons suffered the lowest percentage, IIRC.

Sep 28, 2003 18:13:42 I remember something from an OLD Dragon, about the missing Chromatic dragons: Yellow, Orange and Purple. Just like the color wheel. Blue and Yellows made Green. Blue and Red made Purple. Yellow and Red made Orange. And, the three missing colors had nasty breathe weapons. I remember the oranges: liquid sodium (yellows was salt crystals, combined with the fire of a Red, and that equals liquid sodium, with chlorine fumes). Sodium rusts very fast, and in some cases (like with water) explosively. I had fun using them.

Anyway, use those three, for the colored, and depending on the types of metallic and colored, the breathe weapon won't have to be changed. A Gold-Red would dimply be a real shiny red, in appearance, and still have fire breath. All the other things, you'd be best to just take the average of, like dragon fear saves and all of that.
