Presenting..........
Acidioustyranicus
Mature Adult Black Dragon Beast of Bane
Little is known of Acidioustyranicus history before he became Dark Imperceptor Tirostars mount, it is known that not long after Banes return Tirostar met with one of Banes avatars and that Bane gave Acidioustyranicus to Tirostar to serve as the Dark Imperceptors mount. Since then Tirostar has become the Inquisitor of the church of Bane, he travels th realms rooting out heretics and followers of Cyric who have managed to infiltrate the Zhentarim or the church of Bane. Both Tirostar and Acidioustyranicus home is the House of the Black Hand, a Temple to Bane in the town Voonlar but they are rarely there Tirostars work as taken him to places as far a field as Mulmaster, Darkhold and Amn. Tirostar has been known to “feed” those he finds as heretics to Acidioustyranicus, Tirostar is particularly prone to do this if the heretic turns out to be a follower of Cyric.

Feed (Su): When a Beast of Bane slays a Humanoid opponent, it can feed on the corpse, devouring both flesh and life force. For every 8 HD or levels the beast consumes, it gains one hit dice. The beast can delay this feeding for up to one day per hit dice; after that time, the victim’s life force is beyond its reach. Feeding destroys the victim’s body and prevents any form of raising or resurrection that requires part of the corpse. A wish, miracle or true resurrection spell can restore a devoured victim to life, but there is a 50% chance that even such powerful magic will fail
Frightful Presence (ex): 210-ft. radius, HD 21 or fewer Will DC 23 negates
Smite Good (Su): Once per day, the beast of Bane can make a normal attack to deal additional damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20)

A dragon beast of Bane? I like it - very nice Dargoth.
So I take it that the project starts here, using any homebrew creation, in a format similar to WotN? |

That is correct Sarelle.
I'm glad to see that work has progressed on this project during my absence. I only wish I had my own submissions finished so I could post them here. Anyway they'll be ready soon, along with a number of others that people have been saying they're going to post (I hope  ).

I like your first example Dargoth, very impressive and a fine starting point.
The only issue I have with your design is the dragon's name. The "Acid" part of the name seems a little obvious when you consider the wyrm's breath weapon...unless of course that's what you were going for?

Yeah thats what was aiming for its name reflects its nature Acidious for its Black Dragon part and Tyranicous for its beast of Bane part (Bane being the god of Tyranny) |

Ah, as I said, I thought that may have been your intention.
I do have another question though, this one of a general nature. Are we limiting this project to specific dragon age categories, or are any wyrms of any age open for creation?
I'm asking because I'm looking to create at least two young wyrmlings who have yet to establish themselves properly in the eastern Realms.

I dont think theres any limit on what you can write about
As for the Dragon name, I was having trouble coming up with a name, After all Dragons always seem to have such long and complicated names (You'd think they all came from Austria) |

This is your brainchild, Lady K, so I'd say that if you want to do it, it's kosher with the rest of us.
As for my dragon, I'm still looking at just a rough concept. I have a type, gender, a rough idea of his age, part of his area of activity and a tiny bit of what his activities are... And that's it. I've not yet come up with a name, or researched the necessary areas/topics of interest...
Since I lack the Draconomicon, when I get my dragon completed, I may simply post him without stats. After all, the original Wyrms of the North articles didn't include any stats beyond age category... |

Yes, I think I'll leave the age category requirement open to the individual poster then.
Wooly, the Sage told me about your lack of the Draconomicon. I have his copy here with me at the moment, if you need to know about anything in particular.
Just send me an email  .

Not being "as up" on Realmslore as the rest of you are, I feel confident in saying that I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about Dargoth...

I'm with the Wooly one here - I'll do mine in Wyrms format and all you crunchy-philes can add in the stats.

| I'll have something sometime(perhaps in a few weeks, when my commitments have lessened), but I'm looking at covering a dragon or two for the Sunrise Mountains(I think those are the ones on the edge of the Endless Waste-can't check right now). That area has always intrigued me. |

Ooh, that sounds interesting. I'm certainly looking forward to reading that entry Arivia.
And yes, the Sunrise Mountains lay on the western edge of the Endless Waste.

I have 5 homebrew dragons in the "East" area I would like to give Wyrms of the East write ups - including the aforementioned, young but very wily brown dragon Hazzler Strifebreath of Thay.
However, I like some others, will have to wait some 5 weeks or so to complete them, as my GCSEs (equivalent to the exams you Americans take at the end of High School) are coming up scarily soon and I am having trouble finding time to post on these boards at all. |

I've also decided to add my own entrant into this project, although like most of my workings, it will take time  .
All I can say at this point, is that the wyrm currently resides in the Castle Perilous, and it's of a type that is rarely seen in the Realms...

My first thought was for an undead draconic type, but given the current environment of Castle Perilous, that may have seemed too obvious.
You'll just have to wait and see...

Okay, I've got a question... I know that in the old Council of Wyrms setting, 'twas possible to have dragon mages, dragon clerics, and dragon psionicists. I also know that at least one of the Wyrms of the North has class levels, as a sorcerer.
Does the new Draconomicon cover dragons having class abilities? Both of the concepts I'm working on are dragons with class abilities... Further, one of the dragons has levels in a non-spellcasting class, from the amount of time he's spent in human and demi-human form.
So, are there rules for this, or do I just tack on the additional levels? |

For NPCs? Just tack them on. Savage Species, the Draconomicon, and the 3.5 DMG aren't telling me any different. Sorcerer is their associated class. |

Cool, thanks. I didn't have terribly much time to flip thru the Draconomicon at the store today, but I failed to see anything addressing that issue. Thanks for the assist!  |
