Now the Bloodline Feats I'm talking about are different than the ones presented in Unearthed Arcana, I'm talking about the Bloodline Feats in the Dragon Compendium. They are feats that really only apply to Sorcerers and they give the character a bonus spell known at spell lvls 1-9. They cover a whole bunch of different places where a sorcerer could get they're power, however they clump all Dragons together under one category. So heres my ideas for each Core Dragon, any suggestions on the appropriate spells for each Dragon, would be appreciated, oh and also i didn't stay inside the Sorcerer/Wizard spell list for some of the spells, mostly because either i couldn't find anything appropriate in the that list, or the Dragon could use it as a spell-like ability. Alright I'll stop babbling and get on with it.

Original Feats were done by Scott Carter in Dragon #311

All right so a couple things, I don't like how the Silver Dragon turned out, I don't know what I was thinking, but a lot of the abilities don't seem to fit to it now that I look at it again. Also I don't like the penalties imposed by the feats, i don't think it fits to the Dragons, so if someone didn't want to use the standard penalties imposed by these feats what would you guys suggest? Thanks ahead of time to any who post :smallbiggrin: .
