#DRACONIAN MAGIC PC#

To reflect this, draconians have actually been a playable PC race since at least third edition, with Baaz and Kapaaks appearing in the coerbook and the rest appearing in Dragons of Krynn - although that Level Adjustment is a killer, with breeds ranging from +4 LA to +12 LA. Since the fall of Takhisis and her vaunted Dragonarmies, the draconians of Krynn have since tried to find a place for themselves as a species, refusing to vanish into the dust of ages with their now-hated creator-deity. Though brought up as beings of evil, that was a matter of culture, and they can choose otherwise. However, despite this start, draconians are also creatures with souls of their own. Thus Takhisis became the queen of Krynn's darkness, up to which (say) Hiddukel had to catch.

Through a blending of arcane and divine magic, united via the spittle of a malevolent chromatic dragon, unhatched dragon eggs could be transformed into massive groups of smaller, weaker humanoid dragons, which could then be used as more reliable slave-soldiers than the goblins, hobgoblins, ogres and minotaurs which the various evil armies depended upon. It wasn't until Takhisis secretly began plotting her return to Krynn in the Age of Despair that the ritual found its fruition. Takhisis keeps her secrets.Дraconians were born of evil magic, a ritual initially developed by an obscure Black Robes wizard named Brenn in the year 1015 Pre-Cataclysm. Only the high-level spells Resurrection, True Resurrection, and Wish can bring a departed draconian back to life. Needless to say, going boom like this means draconians are very tough to revive - or even to Speak With Dead at. This is born from Dark Ones a mutation in the organ that, in a proper dragon, would provide a breath weapon only the Auraks and the Flame Draconians have innate breath weapons, although in 3rd edition a feat allowed all draconians to develop a breath weapon. The most prominent example of this is their 'Death Throes' trait: when slain, a draconian undergoes a powerful eruption of raw magical energy, which usually has very nasty consequences for anyone else around them. Most species are winged, with only Auraks lacking them, but flight is generally beyond them, and all species have at least one or two innate magical traits. Although there was some early edition waffling over how human-like their features were, leading to the notoriously hideous artwork for the Baaz in the 3e Dragonlance Campaign Setting splatbook, the ultimate picture that has stabilized over editions is very much like the lizardfolk or dragonborn, the latter of whom can arguably be said to descend from the draconian concept.Дraconian abilities vary widely, depending upon the dragon whose bloodline they originate from.

We don't really know what possessed Weiss & Hickman to say 'Hey, since this setting is all about dragon-backed armies fighting, why don't we replace orcs with some sort of dragonoid?', but the end-result is perhaps the only well-known race from Dragonlance that's generally remembered fondly.Дraconians are a race of draconic humanoids, resembling a blending of the humanoid frame with distinct reptilian traits. And, most importantly of all, Dragonlance gave us Draconians. Dragonlance gave us ogres who were something more than flea-ridden, particularly puny hill giants. Dragonlance gave them a civilization all of their own and made them unique, years before Warcraft would repeat the idea of a 'minotaur civilization' with the Tauren. Prior to this setting, the standard minotaur was a near-mindless beast, lounging in some smelly cave somewhere and scratching its balls as it waited for the next meal to stumble into range. But, despite this general ineptitude at giving us 'goodly' races who are actually, y'know, good, Dragonlance has a history of doing much better for the 'bad guy' races. It is also responsible for much of the Asshole Elf meme, of which the Armach-nesti are arguably the worst. This is, after all, the setting that not only gave us the 'bungling incompetent Tinker Gnomes' and moronic Gully Dwarves as 'comedic relief', but also unleashed the dreaded Kender upon the multiverse. When it comes to races, the Dungeons & Dragons setting of Dragonlance.
