Dragonkin

After the Greenbelt Empire forged relations with the brass and gold dragon kingdoms, their citizens forged relations with the brass and gold dragons. Their offspring are mostly humanoid, with some residually draconic traits, such as wings that allow for gliding. Brass dragonkin tend to be ebullient and musclebound, with a love of exercise and health supplements. Gold dragonkin tend to be more reserved and observant, and have a penchant for aiding the needy and valuing loyalty. Dragonkin could theoretically live up to 500 years (though none are yet that old), and are considered adults at 25. Brass dragonkin average 6'10" and 320lb, while gold dragonkin average 7'2": and 280 lb.

Movement Racial Traits

- Gliding Wings (Ex): Dragonkin take no damage from falling (as if subject to a constant non-magical feather fall spell). While in midair, dragonkin can move up to 5 feet in any horizontal direction for every 1 foot they fall, at a speed of 60 feet per round. Dragonkin cannot gain height with these wings alone; they merely coast in other directions as they fall. If subjected to a strong wind or any other effect that causes a creature with gliding wings to rise, they can take advantage of the updraft to increase the distance they can glide.

At 4th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the uses per day increase by 1 and the damage increases by 1d6.

Brass dragonkin tend to shoot first and aim later.

Dragonkin in Society

Dragonkin are a newer species, and have yet to fully find their place in society. However, they are generally well-respected in the Greenbelt Empire, and have served in important governmental roles. They are generally adaptable, much like their human parents, and able fit into most humanoid settings. They age slower than humans, but more rapidly than dragons. Draconic society is somewhat harder for them to integrate into, as they lack the ability for full flight, which is a key aspect of draconic culture. A few dragonkin have found a workaround by becoming wyvern riders, able to travel on their steeds alongside fullblooded kindred.

Additional Note: Dragonkin can only be played when certain conditions are met in the campaign, or the campaign takes place after a certain point in time. See the DM's Guide for more detail.
