Dragons
Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2011 10:52 am
There are plenty of dragons in swords & sorcery literature, and they are quite different from each other - there are dinosaur-like monsters, flying pteradons and medieval fire-breathing winged lizards too. In the different editions of D&D we had dozens of dragons, but the biggest difference between them were their colour, breath weapon and background, which no one cares about when fighting the beast. What are the plans for DCC RPG?
What I'd like to see, is a single Dragon entry in a DIY style. Choose the different paramters (or roll on the tables), and when you're done, you've got the unique dragon of your dreams - and a nightmare for your party. What paramters might a dragon have?
Size: is he small as a dog, bigger than a horse, or a sleeping mountain?
Body: serpentine or stocky?
Skin: scaly, turtle shell or even iron?
Limbs: two legs, four legs, or even more?
Wings: has he got none, two bat-like or something completely different?
Head: is it like a serpent, a crocodile, a lion or some differen beast?
Breath: is it a toxic cloud, a huge firewall or just stinky?
Anything else: beholder eyes, petrifying head, tentacles under it's mouth? Why not?
Would you like to see dragons too in DCC RPG? How do you imagine them?
