a Dragon’s Disciple, initiate’s drink of the Dragon's blood. It is this blood that gives them there extraordinary features.

Ancient Ancestry The most important question to consider when creating your Dragon Disciple is your ancestry. As a starting character, you'll choose an ancestry that ties you to a draconic bloodline. The black, blue, green, red, and white dragons represent the evil side of dragonkind. Aggressive, gluttonous, and vain, chromatic dragons are dark sages and powerful tyrants feared by all creatures. While the brass, bronze, copper, gold and silver metallic dragons seek to preserve and protect, viewing themselves as one powerful race among the many races that have a place in the world. The ancestry you choose will shape your goals and ideals. Perhaps you feel like you’ve been given this power for some lofty purpose. Or you might decide that the power gives you the right to do what you want, to take what you want from those who lack such power.
