I don't use alignment at all - even going so far as to remove Protection from X Alignment and similar spells - but I like the idea of two dragon gods, like Bahamut and Tiamat, creating separate dragons to oppose each other.<br /><br />But, I also like the idea of those dragons having free will and being able to choose between the two gods, or another god, or no god altogether.<br /><br />For catastrophic dragons, where Bahamut/Tiamat (or whatever their final names are) created the metallics and chromatics, the nature god Arathon took the existing dragons and physically altered them to be a new species. Catastrophic dragons literally change the environment around them, which is why I give them auras like the volcanic aura Davarax has.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514517000003928150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834957886069327643.post-37382673649844895482014-07-22T17:41:34.908-07:002014-07-22T17:41:34.908-07:00I like ditching the alignment restrictions and dit...I like ditching the alignment restrictions and ditching the spellcasting. Dragons are way too badass to adhere to cosmic alignment unwaveringly and not all of them should stoop to using elf spells. <br /><br />I don't think you have to keep the taxonomy though. If you lose the good vs evil, then you don't have to keep track of them that way. There's nothing wrong with catastrophic dragons just being dragons in my opinion. <br /><br />Maybe it's the name. Catastrophe Dragons is more pleasing. But in any case I don't think you need it. Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.com
