SRD5:Half-Dragon Template
| This material from the 5th edition (2014) SRD v5.1 is published under the OGL and CC-BY |
A beast, humanoid, giant, or monstrosity can become a half-dragon. It keeps its statistics, except as follows.
Challenge. To avoid recalculating the creature’s challenge rating, apply the template only to a creature that meets the optional prerequisite in the Breath Weapon table below. Otherwise, recalculate the rating after you apply the template.
Senses. The half-dragon gains blindsight with a radius of 10 feet and darkvision with a radius of 60 feet.
Resistances. The half-dragon gains resistance to a type of damage based on its color.
| Color | Damage Resistance |
|---|---|
| Black or Copper | Acid |
| Blue or Bronze | Lightning |
| Brass, Gold, or Red | Fire |
| Green | Poison |
| Silver or White | Cold |
Languages. The half-dragon speaks Draconic in addition to any other languages it knows.
New Action: Breath Weapon. The half-dragon has the breath weapon of its dragon half. The half-dragon’s size determines how this action functions.
| Size | Breath Weapon | Optional Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|
| Large or smaller | As a wyrmling | Challenge 2 or higher |
| Huge | As a young dragon | Challenge 7 or higher |
| Gargantuan | As an adult dragon | Challenge 8 or higher |
ExampleFor an example of the use of this template, see the Half-Red Dragon Veteran. Start with the Veteran (NPC) and apply the above instructions (including the breath weapon from the Red Dragon Wyrmling). The result is the Half-Red Dragon Veteran. |
