Idea for Goodie Qrace - Dragon

So, this has come up a couple times now in the past week (yes, once by me ). I wanted to throw my $.02 on something I thought would be pretty neat. This is definitely not fully fleshed out...but feel free to suggest ideas if you like the concept:

Obviously, I have no idea what the current work-load is or time availability but here goes:

Good-aligned humans of the classes below can request to be either a copper, gold or silver dragon with same application requirements as demons (15-30, can't pass 30) The color of the dragon affects the breath type and tail proc it gets. Only one dragon (no matter the color) per class.

Races available to: Humans

Classes available to: Cleric, Healer, Warrior, Battlemage, Invoker, Berserker

Size: Large size (these aren't the dragons of D&D...these are 8-10 foot bodies with 6-10 foot tails)

Stats (different per dragon): STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON

Copper: 22, 20, 20, 22, 22

Silver: 20, 22, 20, 23, 21

Gold: 21, 21, 22, 19, 23

Dragons can not use weapons, like illithids have an innate parrying ability.

Vuln: Piercing weapons

Perks:Flying, breath (is an area attack, can use once per TBD hours, depends on drag color), and tail proc (depends on dragon color, rate of occurence less than a slith's)

Copper: Breath = Lightning dmg w/ chance to paralyze

Tail Proc = Blockable "whip" attack

Silver: Breath = Light dmg (think sear spell w/ chance to blind)

Tail Proc = chance for either damage, disarm, or shield disarm

Gold: Breath = Fire (casts at curr_level + curr_level/10)

Tail Proc = no damage, chance to trip or dirt kick everyone that is attacking it (like dark knight in avalon)

Cons: 500 Exp Penalty, Mounts would not be available to them due to their weight.

Let me know your thoughts and I'm sure someone with much better writing skills could come up with the RP behind them.

I'm a fan.

ok idea, but I do not agree with no vuln, that is alot of perks for no vuln

I kinda like the thought of it.

ok idea' date=' but I do not agree with no vuln, that is alot of perks for no vuln [/quote']

In the post it says the vuln is piercing weapons.

Hmm, well let's see.

Slith don't parry inately btw

I like the concept but some of those classes wont work.

A warrior without weapons loses most of its defenses and cannot charge.

I could see a Cleric doing ok, though it would lose shield block.

A BMG would prolly be the most viable.

A Voker could work too if the Dragon could still hold something to mana charge.

Definitely needs more fleshing out, don't give up on the idea yet.

Sorry, I meant illithid parry...I'll edit the original. I was hoping you guys can help with the fleshing out....and if we get enough "buy in" maybe the IMPs/Malch will jump in with his thoughts.

Good point about the warriors...and I guess zerkers too now that I think of it. Someone come up with a solution lol.

I'd also tweak the stats from:

Copper: 22, 20, 20, 22, 22

Silver: 20, 22, 20, 23, 21

Gold: 21, 21, 22, 19, 23

to:

Copper: 23 19 19 21 22

Silver: 20 22 22 20 20

Gold: 22 20 20 18 24

Whilst I like the idea... what about the background of the race?

Undead, Demon and Avatar have a background to them, and a feasible reason as to why you would 'become' one of them.

I'm not knocking your idea, rather just asking the questions - why would a human be turned into a dragon? With the other three qraces, there isn't quite so much a major physical transformation (subject to your own roleplay).

Dey

That's why I added that last line about someone with better/creative writing skills can come up with the RP.

This isn't, by any means, my unique creation. It would be cool if the community got together and came up with what we all thought was balanced and maybe have a chance of seeing it implemented.

Well it would be neat if there was a goodie imm that was a Dragon.

Then the app could be to gain the dragons favor and become imbued with dragonform. Maybe then the human who recieves this blessing could transform like a werebeast, and revert back to human...

Depending on the class it could recieve the most beneficial color (statwise and perk wise)

That is a very cool idea as well...having them transform. Unique as far as Qraces go.

I would like to point out that the ORIGINAL post had specifically no vuln. I hate you MoP.

I suggested this quite some time ago...but made it available to evils and neutrals as well using the normal AD&D deliniations on color (with some tweaking to make it work for FL)

Sounds more like 'draconian' than dragon.

While I don't mind another Qrace... I don't really thing it is good idea RP wise.

Let me explain.

Human -> Demon OK

Human -> Undead OK

Human -> Avatar OK

but...

Human -> Dragon... that seems a bit wrong to me.

Now as we all know, RP can be created for EVERYTHING. But a human, who turns into a dragon... that sounds REALLY strange to me, no matter what RP you are going to put as a background.

Liu Kang hates you.

Too much MK

Like i said last time this come up.

You don't need to transform into a Dragon.

You can just be eaten by a dragon and sudently you are the dragon.

RP good, and get warded a remort as a dragon. Problem solved.

Funny you say this...a human cant turn into a dragon, but it can turn into a giant demon that flies? ROFL, you make a lot of sense
