No hurry. Like I told you before, D&D can wait, but exams can't. (Ah, would that it could.) |

Okay. I have a break period between now and Friday morning. I have set aside some time to finishing working on those Mithril Dragon stats, Bookwyrm. I'll see to posting them soon.
On a semi-related exam note, I was given my results for my first exam two weeks ago...I received an A !!.

Anyway back to the original topic of the thread. I was only now just looking over the Dragon Mystic PrC, and I noted some similarities between this PrC and another presented in one of the tomes from the Encyclopedia Arcane series. What I would like to do is create a PrC that combines the best elements from both distinct classes, then utilise the Mithril Dragon PC race stats to craft an NPC.
Considering how much of an interesting task this will be, I am thinking about running the process here at Candlekeep so that those who are interested (such as our resident Bookwyrm) can contribute with ideas and so forth.
I would like to try to create a complete Realms related history for the NPC, stats, and all the other basics as well.
What do you think?.

Sounds good to me! I've been thinking about making up some character stats for my dragon. |

Actually I have decided to take this project one step further. I am going to recreate my original stats right here at Candlekeep, only I would also appreciate your input on this, since you said you have such a tie to Mithril Dragons. I think you might enjoy it.
How does that sound?.
I'll post my beginning stats ideas later today.

This is all that I got out of the "inner dragon quiz" I took.
quote:
In the war between good and evil, Mithril Dragons take the side of the noble and good.
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon walks a fine line between Law and Chaos.
As far as magical tendancies, Magical spells come as natural to the Mithril Dragon as breath from it's body.
During combat situations, a true Mithril Dragon prefers to defeat opponents by the use of spells and other tactics.
Dragon Description:
Mithril Dragons build and dwell in castles of crystal, high in the mountainous regions. A Mithril Dragon is honest and gentle.
Mithril Dragons are armored with highly reflective scales. To see one in bright sunshine has the effect of looking at a multi-ton, 150 ft. long disco ball.
They tend to smile frequently but rarely laugh aloud. Mithril's dislike violence. A Mithril Dragon is very selective when choosing close friends, but is generally admired by all. A Mithril Dragon leads a very quiet and unobtrusive life.Never judgmental, the great Mithril Dragon's feelings run deep and true. Mithril Dragons mate for life.
This Dragons favorite elements are: Mithril, Earth, and Courage
This is a direct quote. All mistakes are their fault, except I'm too lazy to fix them for them. That fault's mine.
All aside, I like this dragon. |

There's also the related Wizard Soul Quiz. Six wizard types (male and female versions of the types for good, neutral, and evil), plus an elemental focus. I'm an Air Enchanter.
(See if you can spot the continuity error in the names.) |

I am a A Sun Dragon!
In the war between good and evil, Sun Dragons take the side of the noble and good.... When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon walks a fine line between Law and Chaos.... As far as magical tendancies, Your inner dragon has the ability to conquer the world of magic, but it will not be easy.... During combat situations, whether by spells or by claw, your inner dragon will do whatever it takes to get the job done.... From a distance, the Sun Dragon appears as though it is made of pure flames. In truth, it is not made of flame at all but it does maintain a constant should of flames around it's body. This allows for both very effective armor and a stunning appearance.' During its adolescent stages, a Sun Dragon's body begins to excrete an oily substance through it's skin which burns slowly over time, like napalm. When it reaches this age, the Dragon is ignited by it's elders. Sun Dragons are totally immune to fire.' After it is ignited, the Sun Dragon's flames will continue to blaze for the whole of the dragon's natural life span. Sun Dragons are extremely fierce in combat. The Sun Dragon is among the noblest breed of dragonkind. They are revered both for their ferocity in combat and their great wisdom. ' This Dragons favorite elements are: Tiger's Eye and Nobility of Spirit

The sorcerer description sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it? |

Here is some interesting ability stats to begin with. I haven't had a lot of time to research this. They are just of the top of my head, but they conform with the rules material presented in Savage Species and the original stats I have here -
+6 Str, +4 Int, +4 Wis, -6 Dex,
I am still stuck on CON, and CHA.
What do you think?.

And for the wizard quiz, I came out as -
quote: Enchanter
In the war between good and evil, Enchanters take the side of the noble and good.
You are gifted with the elemental plane of Fire
Nearly always in good heart. These Wizards are users of pure and good magic only. Thoughtful, reserved, and extremely introspective, the Wizard is devoted to self-enlightenment and sees the study of magic as the key to spiritual awareness. The Wizard enjoys nothing more than spending long hours contemplating the mysteries of the universe and attempting to become more in touch with his inner self.
The Wizard is not necessarily a student of religion or philosophy; he seeks an awareness that can only be found intuitively. The Wizard is by no means a reluctant magic-user. In fact, the Wizard believes that the casting of each spell and the acquisition of each new magical technique brings him closer to perfect awareness. The mental discipline necessary for the mastery of magic is the perfect compliment to self-knowledge.
You have a fiery personality, and thus your powers are highly attuned to the elemental plane of fire. Some of the more powerfull spells in your arsenal include Fireball, Burning Hands, and Flame Strike.

My second attempt at the Dragon quiz (since I can't seem to find my saved version of my first try, although I am pretty sure it was an Electrum Dragon) -
quote: Crystal Dragon
In the war between good and evil, Crystal Dragons take the side of the noble and good.
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon tends to do things by the book.
As far as magical tendancies, Magical spells come as natural to the Crystal Dragon as breathe from it's body.
During combat situations, a true Crystal Dragon prefers to defeat opponents by the use of spells and other tactics.
Dragon Description: Fun-loving and good natured, crystal dragons tend to be responsible rulers. They establish domains in the cold, open northern reaches, building castles out of snow and ice. They leave these castles open to the sky, for they love to watch the stars on clear, cold nights.
Hatchlings have glossy white scales that become more and more translucent with age. By the time they reach adulthood, these scales become luminescent in moonlight. In the full light of the day they glow with a dazzling, almost unbearable brilliance.
Like other benevolent dragons, the crystal dragons prefer to talk rather than fight. Even without special abilities, they can be charming and engaging to an extreme. Gems and metal ores are their foods of choice.A crystal dragon's breath weapon is a cone of glowing shards. The shards slice and cut those caught in the cone.
This Dragons favorite elements are: Quartz, Ice, and Good Natures

Hmm, I like the Crystal dragon. I need to take a closer look at that list; I never did look at them all. |

I really don't think +6 for charisma is appropriate, at least using the guide lines set down in Savage Species. Although I think the ECL would be considerably high for this character race regardless of the ability scores, since we are dealing with a Dragon.

Age, will probably be another aspect that will factor into both the ability scores and the ECL, since Dragons gain considerable powers and abilities as they get older.
Hmm...maybe I should consult the old 2e Draconomicon

I have already checked my material here. I don't think that there are any, at least not in either MM and MM2.
That is why I am crafting some mithril stats. Although the gem dragon types from MM2 could be helpful in this.
