General Information
The silver dragon inhabit the subtropical islands
in the southern portion of the Io's Blood chain. As a species, these dragons
are kind and helpful. They cheerfully offer assistance to goodly creatures
in genuine need.
A hatchling fresh from the egg has blue-gray scales
with hints of silver highlights. As it matures, the color slowly changes
to gleaming silver. Once it reaches adulthood, a silver dragon's scales
have become so fine as to be almost invisible, giving it the appearance
of being sculpted from pure metal.
Of all dragonkind, the silver dragon have the closest
relationship with their kindred and vassals. They eat the same food, they
spend long periods of time in the same form, and often take demihuman mates.
This explains the more prominent number of silver half-dragons than any
other type.
Silver dragon establish their lairs atop the mountain
peaks of Io's Blood's southern isles, which touch the silver-lined clouds
hanging perpetually above them. They share these aeries with their vassals,
but constantly guard against incursions by their troublesome neighbors,
the red dragons.
The silver-scaled dragon are not a violent species.
They prefer to avoid combat whenever possible, resorting to actual battle
only when confronted by powerful evil or highly aggressive foes. Even so,
they will attempt to subdue and repel before they raise claw or gather
breath for the kill.
Special and Innate Abilities
Special Abilities: Can communicate with any intelligent
creature (16% chance at hatchling, 5% increase at each new age category);
spell and magical abilities at 6th level plus combat modifier; immune to
cold.
Innate Abilities: Hatchling: polymorph self three times
per day, cloud walk (functions continuously but can be negates and resumes
at will); Young: feather fall twice per day; Juvenile: wall of fog once
per day; Adult: control winds three times per day; Mature Adult: control
weather once per day; Old: reverse gravity once per day.
Using cloud walk, a silver dragon can tread on cloud
or fog as though on solid ground.
Dragon Tactics and Attacks
Typical Tactics: Silver dragons seek to avoid combat
except when faced by highly evil or aggressive foes. They use feather fall
to halt missiles fired in their direction, and employ wall of fog or control
weather to blind or confuse opponents before engaging in physical attacks.
Extremely angry silver dragons with reverse gravity ability will fling
enemies helplessly into the air and snatch them. Against flying opponents,
silver dragons prefer to hide in clouds (creating their own if the day
is clear), waiting for an advantageous moment to leap out and attack.
Physical Attacks: A silver dragon's claws cause 1d8 damage,
plus combat modifier. It bite cause 5d6 damage, plus combat modifier.
Breath Weapon: A silver dragon has two breath weapons.
The first is a cone of cold 80 feet long, 5 feet wide at the dragon's mouth,
and 30 feet wide at the end. Opponent attacked by cold can save vs. breath
weapon for half damage. The second is a cloud of paralyzation gas 50 feet
long, 40 feet wide, and 20 feet high. Opponents attacked by gas must save
vs. breath weapon or become paralyzed for one round per age category of
the dragon, plus 1d8 rounds.
Base Movement: 9, Fl 30 (C), Jp 3.
Mating
The Metallic Dragons, of all the dragon families, mate
most often for love. They frown upon inbreeding among even distant kin
and forbid siblings from mating (a sensible genetic rule some of the wilder
chromatics often disregard). Gold, silver, and bronze dragons are nearly
always monogamous, often not even taking a new mate after the death of
a beloved partner. Some of these metallics will take on an appropriate
humanoid form and seek out a mate among their demihuman vassals, with whom
they live while they are in polymorphed state. (Interestingly, the strong
fidelity inherent to these dragons ascribed to both dragon and demihuman
mates.) When this occurs, male dragons can impregnate female demihumans,
thus creating half-dragons. Female dragons, however, can never be impregnated
by male demihumans, despite being in humanoid form.
Event among those dragons who willingly engage in a relationship
with a demihuman mate, producing half-dragon young is considered socially
unacceptable. Although a dragon may truly love his or her demihuman mate,
dragon society as a whole finds the idea of creating half-dragons repugnant.
Thus, half-dragons are rare, though they do exist. They take physical form
of their demihuman parent, but some half-dragons do show unmistakable signs
of draconic blood.
Half-dragon offspring are considered, at best, outsiders
in the societies of both dragon and demihumans in the Io's Blood isles.
Brass dragons, the last metallic type, also make dedicated
spouses. They remain partnered to the same mate through most of their lives,
though if a loved one dies they often seek out a new partner. Copper dragon
on the other hand, follow a more chaotic path. They spend a portion of
their lives switching mate frequently, seeking variety and new experiences
every time the wind shifts or the seasons change. Upon reaching the mature
adult stage, however, they finally settle on a mate for their remaining
years.
Dragon of all type tend to mate with members of their
own type. Gold dragons mate with golds, red dragon mate with reds, and
so on. Sometimes they will go against their natural tendencies and mate
with dragons of other types.
The mixted-appeareance crossbreeds, however, are considered
abominations. The chromatic dragon tend to kill these hatchlings immediately.
Metallic dragon simply banish them from their domains (rumors abound that
these crossbreeds are sent to other worlds, but this has yet to be proven).
The gem dragon, however, believe that something as majestic as a dragon
can never be an abomination. In the rare instances when a gem dragon produces
a mixed hatchling, the newborn is allowed to remain a member of the clan.
