UMiskatonic 04-01-07, 10:29 AM	I don't think it would work, because you are limited to races/classes/etc. from the LGCS. I'm pretty sure that half-dragon ain't there. If you're curious in a general way, then re-post this on the appropriate board.
Peregrine_Wolf 04-01-07, 10:43 AM	What forum would that be?
Lomiat 04-01-07, 11:04 AM	The closest you can come to any of the aforementioned builds in LG is to create a good-aligned Dragon Disciple and work toward the half-dragon status.

boolean 04-02-07, 09:55 PM	- look at "fey touched", not much to have at first sight, but a second feat opens up DimDo for ANY character who takes the two feats, Fey Legacy is Closed. Somebody decided that two fourth level spells and one fifth level spell per day was a bit too much of a benefit for one feat. (Yes, it has a second feat as a prerequisite, but Fey Heritage has a significant benefit of its own and isn't being taken solely to qualify for Fey Legacy. +3 to saves vs. Hold Person, Confusion, Dominate Person etc. is very useful.)
jstorrie 04-02-07, 10:00 PM	While you can't take a template right from the start in LG, there are some template-ish options available: Dragon Disciple (DMG) Elemental Savant (turns you into an elemental, Complete Arcane) Wildrunner (turns you into fey, Races of the Wild) Alienist, Contemplative (turn you into outsiders, Complete Arcane/Divine) the 'Fey Heritage' and 'Fiendish Heritage' feat chains (Complete Mage) the 'Celestial Sorceror' and 'Infernal Sorceror' feat chains (Player's Handbook II) the Draconic Heritage feat chain (Complete Arcane) the Jinnbond feat (regional, Dungeon Magazine) and probably a few more options I'm missing, if you want to have 'nonstandard' heritage for your character.
