Adventure Dragon
Summary::A playable dragon race without all that pesky LA and stuff that makes it unusable. Adventure Dragons, unlike other dragons, grow more quickly when exposed to experience.
Personality
Apart from a desire for riches and a literal thirst for adventure, Adventure Dragons are a varied bunch.
Physical Description
Adventure Dragons look like dragons, with large, vaguely crescent-shaped stripes along their backs. Their base scale color and the color of the stripes are both indicative of their properties. Good dragons are shiny, Evil dragons aren't, and Neutral dragons are only shiny on either their stripes or other scales, but not both.
Relations
Adventure Dragons tend to wander off alone, gathering allies from other races in their quest for adventure.
Alignment
Adventure Dragons come in any alignment, as can be evidenced by the chromatic or metallic nature of their scales.
Lands
Wherever one can find meat, treasure, and enemies, the Adventure Dragons dare to go.
Religion
Adventure Dragons usually worship Draconic deities.
Language
Adventure Dragons speak Common and Draconic.
Names
Adventure Dragons have suitably draconic names, frequently possessing an x or "aug".
