Dragons drew me into Dungeons and Dragons and roleplaying in general. Hence, I have had to beg many DM’s and GM’s for the opportunity to roleplay half-dragons, wyrmlings and servants of wyrms. I have also created various options for PCs and NPCs alike for the games that I run. From both standpoints, this is a superb supplement. It adds additional flavor to the story of half-dragons, dragonkind and the fantasy world that includes them. Here are the items I especially liked:
• The content draws on the existing framework that is familiar for those with any 3.x or Pathfinder experience. However, (IMO) some of the options given are overpowered for 3.5, though they seem to mesh for a Pathfinder campaign at first glance.
• It offers an excellent template options for less-than-half-dragons (although focused on Silver, Gold and Brass, these can be easily drawn out to their relatives). The feats presented fill many voids appropriately. (That last opinion may be a confirmation bias, as they match closely with my personal attempts to expand upon half-dragons, etc.)
• The background information presents various complexities of the creation of half-dragons that can add excellent role-playing opportunities, plot hooks, and depth to your campaign/character background.
Well worth its cost ($6.50 at the time), though knowing what I now do, I would have been willing to pay twice that amount. Fantastic Gallery is now on my list of publishers to search on. Thank you for the great supplement; I will let you know of any balance issues I discover, which I expect will be few if any.
