| The reason I asked whether you own the core rules or not is this: there are no real stats for ruby sprinkled gold dragons, so you would have to make them up... just stay away from the metallic-green and stuff like that cuz it would look way too much like color scemes for cars. |

I was wondering if he wanted someone to tell him the abilities of a metalic/chromatic hybrid or the abilities of every listed dragon in general?    |

Now I have to scrap my web enhancement and write one about the shiny new models of hybrid dragons. I quite like the 1374 Metallic Green Volvo Dragon Model. It comes fully equipped with cones of acidic fire and power saddles. |

For the most part, as long as it makes sense.
For example a Blue/Red Hybrid, one can give it a line or cone of electrically charged fire which would do half damage as fire and half as electricity. |

a character from WotSQ was a drow half shadow dragon...also the Draconomicon 3.5e should have some info on half dragons
Also there is some info in Unearthed Arcana, not sure if it is relevant...
And do me a favor...don't use three "?" for every question, aside from the way a question is worded one questionmark is a very good indicator on that you asked something. |

I repeat a suggestion that several mods have already made:
learn, read, and then ask...some issues, especially when they concern OOP material, can be asked here, but rules-questions, and dragon blending is a rules question, should be asked after you know the rules. From what I have read of your comments so far, your only read experience with the Realms seems to be computer games.
There's no shame in that since I was the same way until I decided to run a Realms game. After that it took me about 2 or 3 years until I had read a ton of stuff. Admittedly, I don't like encyclopedias, hence I mainly read novels and expanded that knowledge with the supplements/sourcebooks. Thankfully by that time, when I really starte´d to run the game, I already had 15 years of roleplaying experience/DMing under my belt. Still, you should know the game and the world before you ask any questions.
Questions are always welcome, but if the answer is "see the FRCS or any other supplement" most of the time you might wanna think about doing that. |

| Drow-Dragons are a relatively new edition to D&D i believe. I think they are uniquely Faerunian. They are described in depth in Dragons of Faerun. |

I think the first time the drow-dragon was mentioned was in that old (2e) Dragon article that expanded the number of half-dragons beyond the Council of Wyrms box set..but those drow-dragons were deep dragons/drow...not shadow dragons/drow
but the first "real" drow-dragon I think is the one in Ed Greenwoods Wyrms of the North articles |

Blue red is a purple dragon...see dragon #248 |

Bah, everyone knows SAAB makes better dragons.
(Sorry for the off-topicness, but talking up SAAB is mandatory where I live, even the "let's all go everywhere by foot"-people do it). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Okay semi back on subject.
Does anyone remember the Ruby dragon created in a novel i want to say
War in Tethyr. |
"Develop the latent abilities within you for that is your power alone. Psionics is the ultimate art of magic and you are its practitioner. Through lifelong dedication, strive to unite your will with your physical form to become one. Only through the unrestrained union of one’s mind and body can the magic of psionics truly be mastered. Throw off the yoke of any who would impose tyranny upon you. Likewise, do not ever force another to submit to your will. Free your mind, free yourself and you have only just begun the path to true psionic mastery. Free others, open their minds to the Invisible Art, and you will show them way to Auppenser."

I'm not familiar with the book (I gave up while reading it), but it is anything like The Legend of Sardior? |

| She's detailed in Heroes Lorebook (stats of an amethyst dragon) though in the novel she's described as a super-being, a human and a dragon at once, she was a dragon experiment, goal of the dragon was to create a dragon with human ability to multiply and expand |
