Homebrew Half-Dragon Species Details
Half-dragons born of a dragon and an elf were not uncommon during the Time of Dragons, when wyrms ruled openly and the boundaries between mortal peoples and draconic kind were more easily crossed. Such unions became increasingly rare following the Dracorage.
Offspring of this lineage inherit the fey grace and keen senses of their elven parent, tempered by the raw might and elemental affinity of a dragon. These half-dragons often display exceptional longevity, their lives stretching far beyond those of most mortals, influenced by both fey magic and draconic blood.
This prince, however, stands apart even among his rare kind. Though it is believed that the Astral Plane preserves those within it unchanged by time, his long incubation beyond the world left him diminished. Wrenched from the Astral into the Material Plane after so long, he emerged bearing obvious flaws: his breath weapon manifests pitifully, only suitable to light candles; his wings never formed, and his physical strength falls short of what dragon blood alone should promise.
