iption

The brood were once a race and thriving civilization. However, 2000 years ago, the Guardians of the Faith waged holy war on the brood and the civilization was nearly wiped out. A few sparse broods survived and began mixing with humans and elves. The gene tends to lay dormant and only shows itself every few generations. The odds of giving birth to a brood are as follows.

The brood gene gives the carrier the ability to transform into a dragon. While in human form, they are marked by their blue hair. There are essentially 3 forms of the dragon that a brood can takee, Whelp, Drake, and Behemoth.

AC
When determinll magical bonus and Dexterity Adjustments apply, Armor and Shield Adjustments do not. A fighter wearing Splint Mail +2, a dex adjustment of -1, and a Ring of Protection -2, would have an total AC adjustment of -5, so if he transforms into a whelp, his AC would be 3.

Upon reaching a certain level, the brood begins receiving elemental abilities. At the beginning of transformation, player announces the elemental abilities chosen. Player may use multiple elemental abilities at double the cost of hit points. A character learns a new elemental ability each time he goes up in level, after he reaches a certain level determined by their

class.

Every time a new level is reached, roll 1d8 to determine which element is learned. Continue rerolling until a new element is learned.

When a player decides to transform, he must announce what form he is taking (whelp, drake, or behemoth) and any elemental powers (if any) being used. Staying in brood form is allowed as long as he has hit points, though the more powers taken, the faster hit points are depleted. A brood loses a certain number of hit points each round.

Upon returning to human form, the brood makes a system shock roll. Add a +5% bonus for every 10 points remaining, and a 10% penalty for every point under 0. If the brood fails, he falls unconscious for 1d19 rounds plus 1 for each point under zero. Also, if failed, he loses half of his hit points, with an addition 5% lost for each point under zero received. The natural loss of hit points (as a result of elemental abilities or form) will never bring hit points below zero.
