Dragons hatch from eggs and begin life as wyrmlings; miniature dragons that are as cute as they are deadly. Many are raised by their dragon parents, but some are fostered by other creatures, others are simply left to wander and fend for themselves. In your case, you’ve already spent considerable time around humanoids. This early exposure left you with an understanding of humanoid ways and a willingness to adventure that most of your dragon kin lack.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Religion, and your choice of one other skill.
- Languages: One language of the humanoids you were raised by.
- Equipment: Shiny baubles worth 5 silver that you loathe to part with, and a dragon harness (Dragon Backpack).
Feature: Dragon Kin
While territorial, dragons of the same type feel a certain kinship towards each other. If they don’t see you as a threat, dragons of your color will freely share information. Depending on the dragon’s disposition they may then warn you from entering their territory, or invite you to a meal and conversation.
Suggested Characteristics
Dragons are creatures with strong and prominent personalities. Even those of the highest good are proud, often to the point of arrogance. The nice ones try not to be rude about it, they just know they are better than other creatures. All dragons crave treasure, which can seem greedy to lesser beings. Other characteristics can vary considerably, tending towards what most humanoids would consider extreme or eccentric.
