09-14-07, 05:25 PM I think i have seen this around a few times and wondered what would happen if i did it. I mean, you can technically take levels of dragon if you have the dragonwrought feat, can't you? What age catagory and such would a 1hd dragon have? Thanks for any help.

09-14-07, 05:31 PM It would have a dragon HD. That's it. Not all dragons have age categories, and age categories aren't based off HD. It wouldn't have an age category.

09-14-07, 05:44 PM Actually, there are ways in which Races of Dragon -whether intentionally or not- allows a Kobold to qualify for some of the dragon-only PrCs in the Draconomicon. Unfortunately, offhand I don't remember exactly what the requirements are and how to go about getting them. You'd have to read the Draconomicon.

09-14-07, 06:01 PM Some people say that they would still be limited to 1 HD and it would change to dragon. Other say that since it changes his/her type completely to dragon that it wouldn't be limited any more since it is now a dragon and there for would matter how many HD you took. You can pick. If you go with the 2nd I'd say 3 levels per age cat would do.

09-14-07, 06:10 PM Ace, I believe you are correct. However, I think somewhere in Races of Dragon it either states or implies that a Dragonwrought Kobold is a "true dragon" -which is the important part. There are many creatures with the dragon type which are not true dragons; therefore they do not have age categories. The Draconomicon states something along the lines of "all true dragons have age categories."

Again, I probably botched the wording or screwed it up because it's been quite a while since I've read those two books extensively. If you're asking as a player, I'd speak with your DM and see what he/she says.

09-14-07, 06:36 PM I'll look for that but would point out that they already have age cats with out the feat.

09-14-07, 06:43 PM Thanks guys. That's exactly what I was looking for. ^^ just one more thing though, would I begin as a wyrmling even though I'd only have 1 dragon hd? Thanks again for all of your all's help!

09-14-07, 06:56 PM It does everything but come right out and say they are. I'd go two months.
