I was thinking about half-Dragons in wildspace and wondered what special attack and special immunity a radiant dragon would have. The breath weapon part was easy, but the Radiant Dragon has no immunity... So with 3E should the Radiant Dragon have a immunity? Below is a small conversion I will put on line soon to my site... holding back till I get some feedback to see if anyone thinks the Radiant Dragon should have an immunity.
As for myself I was thinking that it might be interesting that a new type of energy is created for spelljammer setting for monsters that live and breath in space... cosmic energy? (i.e., radiation). The other choice was immunity to 'force magic', like some feedback.

Radiant Half-Dragon Template

Radiant Half-Dragon uses the Half-Dragon Template as given in Monster Manual page 215 with the following addition to special attacks due to them being a radiant dragon variety. Breath Weapon is three pulses of magic missiles that each do 2d12, which the half dragon can assign into separate targets. Half Radiant Dragons do not have any special immunity as the dragon that sired them does not have such immunities

Jun 20, 2003 12:38:39 Just had a thought: Immunity to gas attacks. Reason? As creatures of space, Radiant Dragons don't need to breathe (or at least they can hold their breaths for exceptionally long periods of time). Maybe not total immunity, but the Half Dragons can hold their breaths for like 1 hour or more, making most gas attacks useless against them.

Jun 21, 2003 7:35:22 I agree with Nightdruid, 'Immunity to gas attacks' is definitely in line with the template you have detailed here. His reasoning is valid also, so I won't bother posting my own :D .
