Description

EDIT: This is an older version of my Half Dragon player race homebrew, but you can find the updated and final version here:  drive.google.com/file/d/1d-Xqr…


This race is part of my Children of the Dragon project, which you can download here:  www.dmsguild.com/product/33292…

This race is meant to be used along with my revised Dragonborn player race:  drive.google.com/file/d/1-j7NX… which I made because Dragonborn are currently rather weak. So this should bring them up to par with the other races. These two races as well as many other works will be added to my final project, for which Whitemantis will make 6 more works! Here are links to the finished mechanics of those homebrew, as I'm just waiting for Whitemantis to finish the artworks


This was drawn for me by the talented Barelynormalactivity: www.deviantart.com/barelynorma…

Oh certainly! But they are half dragons, and due to their humanoid ancestry the men turn out a bit taller. 

And thanks! I'm glad you like them. They are on the strong side from what I hear from play tests, but people have told me that they are not overpowered. And I know about the template, which is why I made this for player races, as the template is only for monsters to make them stronger. Hopefully this will be a bit more balanced while also making them fun!

And thanks! Whitemantis actually already commented about this

Just look to Whitemantis her comment at the top here. She and I are friends, and she inspired me greatly with all her art

Fair enough, you understand we were just looking out for her.

Thank you for the clarification.

White Mantis has made statements about this, and has said that while the Varanar are a closed species, she also encourages people to make their own dragon people.

OOOOOOOH   sweet, sweet, juicy lore!

                  


€dit:

Funny, around 2 months ago or so I found a nice D&D channel.
And nowadays it seems the ForgottenRealms universe is gaining popularity again after all those years.
( Played 'Baldurs Gate 2' and the first 'Neverwinter'. )


Are WhiteMantis Dragonics inspired by the D&D lore or is this just a compatible representation?
                 That was entertaining and interesting to read.

Thanks! I spend aaaaaaages combining it all, and putting it together properly. I based it on D&D lore, and combined it and gave it my own flavor in the areas that were too vague. 

And they are inspired by her Whitemantis is my friend, and she also made a comment here clearing that up XD

This is meant to be used in combination with my Revised Kobold  www.gmbinder.com/share/-Lxb9n_… and Revised Dragonborn  www.gmbinder.com/share/-LpUnq-… player races, so that those two races would not feel left behind.


And if you are interested, here is a link to all the Draconic lore that I could find for these races:  www.gmbinder.com/share/-LtLZ9K… Which also highlights the differences and original of both the Dragonborn and Half Dragons.

Thank you! <3 This will be part of my upcoming project: "Children of the Dragon" for white Whitemantis will be making the art  

It will also contain a revised Dragonborn, so that those players of the game would not feel left behind, and they can continue to play a more bestial looking draconic race:  www.gmbinder.com/share/-LpUnq-…

There was an account that reposted her art of the twins straight up calling them "Dragonborn" for their personal game...I can't remember if this is the same account though.

That doesn't excuse taking someone else's work and making it appear as his own.  Inspiration is good.  Blatantly copying or stealing is bad.

Eyyy that's good, Imma be honest with you though mate, when you posted the original, a few months back was it?, I was the one who told on you to whitemantis and then that same day you took it down, the one with the original art of hers.

I'm glad your relationship worked out between you two and I hope I didn't make to much of a fuss.

This looks like it could very easily be abused tbh given how many abilities and powers they have. It essentially makes dragonborn redundant seeing as how a halfdragon gets a breath weapon, a natural ability and the ability to turn into a dragon. Also whats wrong with being human, I'm just saying with all this talk about how halfdragons basically worship dragons it begs the question as to whether their would be some who would prefer their human ancestry. Hell even dragonborn a very unlikely to worship dragons :/

Oh don't worry, seeing as how Dragonborn have a race score of only 4.5, compared to the 8 of the Dwarfs, I also made a revised Dragonborn player race:

Nice, I'm glad you had the foresight to think of ways to improve the other draconic races so they wouldn't get left in the dust. Btw I recently posted my own race idea for DnD, it's no where near as nice looking as yours but I wanted to get my ideas out there.

If you want to check it out here's a link to it  DnD Species concept- Shades: A Short HistoryPhysiology:
Born from the dark power of an Evil Sorcerer, Shades are medium sized humanoids which are covered head to toe in a velvety black fur with black skin underneath. This black fur is sensitive to touch and as a result causes Shades to feel discomfort when wearing heavy clothes. This results in many shades practicing nudism or wearing light soft fabric such as silk or fleece. The fur however is longer at certain points and covers most of if not all of the Shades body parts that would be normally covered up much in the same way a Were-Wolf would. Their heads house a set of omnivorous black teeth which end in points, a hold over from when they were possessed and little more than feral beasts. They have long triangular ears off the sides of their head and also have soft fine black hair on theirs scalps. Their large eyes are similar to that of a cats having vertical pupils instead of the typical round pupils most races have. Their iris's glow according to their blood color and altho
