I was looking through the forums and ran across several mentions of the white dragonspawn template, which eventually pointed me to the Dragonlance Campaign Setting and the Bestiary of Krynn.
In the description of the natural armor bonus for dragonspawn in the Bestiary, it says increase it to +7 (or +10 if the base creature is a dragonspawn), or the base creature's natural armor bonus, whichever is higher. This seems to specifically indicate you can apply the template more than once to the same creature, such as a white/black or blue/sea dragonspawn (a strange idea, but you can also technically have more than one type of lycanthropy, so I'll let it pass). Moreover, it says the template is acquired, but the description of dragonspawn in the Dragonlance Campaign Setting specifically indicates they breed true, implying it's also an inherited template. On top of all this, a couple of pages later is the dragonspawn abomination template, which it says MUST be added to any dragonspawn other than those created from a base creature other than a human or half-elf (and sometimes even half-elves get it, too!).
So my question is this: human dragonspawn (let's say black) has a kid with an elf dragonspawn (let's say white/abomination). Does the resulting half-elf black & white dragonspawn also get the dragonspawn abomination template?
