Greetings All
Ive been running a game now with somewhat new players and one of the main focus for the game is the intro of the Dragonspawn, who have been introduced only in the aftermath of combat that the party has come across and only heard of these new 'monsters' that have been seen. The party has been trying to find out more info on them and has gone to great lengths to learn of them, tracking them down and finding them.
Finally the party has learnt that they are Dragonspawn of Tiamat and the dragonspawn havent been since of in many life times. Now the party are trying to learn more and warn others of this threat.
Now my question is based on the dragonspawn the party is trying to learn about and gear themselves up to fight effectively against, I came up with an idea of throwing a curveball against them (plus there is a psionic character in the group) and coming up with a new breed of dragonspawn, that of Gem Dragons.
My thoughts are that of a lich in league with the church of Tiamat has been experimenting with creating these Gem dragonspawn, after many years of trial and error, (hunting down half gem dragon races, getting Gem Dragon eggs and such) finally created a new race of these Gen Dragonspawn with psionic powers with a number of other abilities in line with the original dragonspawn.
Id like to hear others thoughts on this and maybe ideas aswell for creating the new dragonspawn, such as cool names as its 2am here and had only come with the idea after the game here tonight. Im not limiting myself on just the MMII Gem Dragons as ill be also using the lesser Gem Dragons as dragonspawn too, the Amber, Jacinth, Jade, Moonstone and Pearl. I know they never converted the lesser ones to 3.5 but id like to include them in the game.
This new race, I hope will realyy throw the party as all their efforts will be in fighting and learning as much as they can on the main 5 colour dragonspawn on Tiamat.
Cheers All
