Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Topaz Sûl-Blooded

Topaz Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

While they are rare, due to the somewhat less than friendly attitudes of most topaz dragons, there are those who bear the unmistakable pupiless golden-brown eyes and pale yellow skin of a descendant of Tvennumbrúni's. Topaz dragons are more likely to form alliances resulting in offspring with fæy who have an affinity for water than they are to interbreed with members of the mortal races, but even so, such unions have been known to occur.

Like their sire, those who bear this bloodline are often unpredictable, selfish, and difficult to deal with. They tend to gravitate to lives that take them onto the seas, and a number of the greatest sea explorers, mariners, and pirates in history have been known or suspected of being topaz-blooded.

3 30-foot cone of dehydration that looks like a watery blast, 6d8 damage; Reflex half (DC 10 + ½ your Hit Dice + your Constitution modifier).

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Sapphire Sûl-Blooded

Sapphire Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Although those descended from Salgerðr tend to be extremely antisocial, tales tell of a rare few who have formed alliances with dwellers in the deep places of the earth, working for their mutual protection against the dire threats that lurk in the depths. From these alliances, offspring have been reported, although they are so rare as to be thought of as mere myths in many places.

Those who bear the sapphire dragon bloodline tend to be reclusive, which only further fuels the belief that they are mythical. They tend to have dark blue eyes, and dark hair that has an almost bluish tint in the sunlight. The handful of sapphire sûl-blooded individuals who have been identified have gravitated towards occupations that combine military life with working with earth and stone.

This ability requires a swift action to use, lasts for one round for each of your character levels, and is usable once per day.
3This ability allows you or an inanimate object to slide along any solid surface with no friction. You can control your movement by thought alone, skating, turning, or stopping as desired. Your base speed is your normal land speed plus 15 feet. You can move up or down inclines that he or she could otherwise walk on, but skating upward reduces speed to normal while skating downward adds 30 feet (instead of 15 feet) to your speed. An object under the influence of the skate effect can be dragged across the ground as if it weighed only one-tenth its normal weight. This ability lasts for one round per character level.

Favored Class: Sûl-Blooded individuals can replace their racial favored class with the Sorcerer class. Sapphire Sûl-Blooded sorcerers must take the Sûlic sorcerous bloodline and select sapphire dragon as their dragon type.

Exclusive Class: Sûl-Blooded individuals must replace their racial exclusive class with the Dragon Shaman class. A Sapphire Sûl-Blooded dragon shaman must choose the Sapphire Sûl Totem.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Emerald Sûl-Blooded

Emerald Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

As with most of the gem dragons, those descended from Elliðagrimr tend to prefer to dwell in the Færie Realms, and by inclination most are at least nominally aligned with the Unse̊ðie Court. Those who live within the Three Worlds often form working arrangements with sages, scholars, and even entire institutions of research and learning. These alliances have been known to result in offspring as the emerald dragons mix their bloodline with both fæy and mortals.

Those who bear this bloodline often share their forbears' thirst for knowledge, and frequently pursue callings that involve a life devoted to research and study. They tend to be angular and thin, with pale skin and a greenish tint to their hair. The most common, and striking, physical feature of those who bear this bloodline are deep green eyes lacking any whites.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Crystal Sûl-Blooded

Crystal Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

The descendants of Kristrán are friendly and gregarious, but the relative remoteness of their lairs makes interactions between them and other species relatively rare. Even so, some crystal dragons have friendly relations and even form alliances with mountain tribes, and offspring sometimes result from these cooperative arrangements. Those who bear this bloodline tend to be thin and angular, with white hair and eyes that shine like crystal.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Amethyst Sûl-Blooded

Amethyst Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

The dragons from Ámgerðr's line are regal and proud, but also affable and friendly, at least insofar as dragons can be considered affable and friendly. Because of their fondness for both fæy and mortals, there are many who can claim descent from the mighty purple dragons. Like their forebears, those with this bloodline tend to be skilled at social interaction, making them natural diplomats, and also natural demagogues. Those who carry purple dragon blood in their veins tend to have sharp features, and a slight purple tint to their skin - some even have purple hair that hangs like strands of crystalline glass, although this is quite rare.

1 You gain the indicated bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, and Perform checks made to interact with amethyst dragons and other creatures descended from amethyst dragons, including others with this bloodline..
2 You gain the indicated bonus on all saving throws against force effects. If you gain force or fire resistance (or immunity) from another source (such as from levels in the dragon shaman or sorcerer classes), this ability becomes the ability to bestow force or fire resistance (or immunity) of the indicated strength upon your allies within 30 feet. This ability requires a swift action to use, lasts for one round for each of your character levels, and is usable once per day.
3 60-foot line of concussive force, 6d8 damage; Reflex half (DC 10 + ½ your Hit Dice + your Constitution modifier). Usable once per day. You can use this ability to deal nonlethal damage if you choose to. If you have a breath weapon ability from sorcerer levels, this ability instead indicates that you may use your sorcerous breath weapon an additional time per day. If you have a breath weapon ability from dragon shaman levels, this ability instead means that you gain +2d6 to your dragon shaman breath weapon.
4 Once per day, you can adjust your body equilibrium to correspond with any solid or liquid. Thus, you can walk on water, quicksand, or even a spider's web without sinking or breaking through. This does not confer any resistance to particularly sticky webs. Movement is at normal speed, but running on a fragile, mushy, or liquid surface requires a Dexterity check (DC 10 or more, depending on the surface) to avoid breaking through. Falling damage is halved while this power is in effect. Body equilibrium lasts 1 round per character level.

Favored Class: Sûl-Blooded individuals can replace their racial favored class with the Sorcerer class. Amethyst Sûl-Blooded sorcerers must take the Sûlic sorcerous bloodline and select amethyst dragon as their dragon type.

Exclusive Class: Sûl-Blooded individuals must replace their racial exclusive class with the Dragon Shaman class. An Amethyst Sûl-Blooded dragon shaman must choose the Amethyst Sûl Totem.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Arcane Sûl-Blooded

Arcane Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

The descendants of Gáldorléoð are the most reclusive and paranoid of all dragon-kind. As a result, despite their innate polymorph ability, individuals with the arcane dragon bloodline are exceedingly rare, with the number of known examples capable of being counted on one hand. Those few individuals known to have this bloodline have all been masters of arcane magic, although frequently disagreeable and difficult as well. Despite a general lack of evidence for this conclusion, almost every notable wizard or sorcerer is rumored to bear the blood of an arcane sûl in his heritage.

You can use stored spell energy to cast any spell you know without expending a spell slot. The only restriction is that the levels of spell energy stored in the horn must be equal to or greater than the level of the spell you want to cast. Expended spell levels are regenerated at a rate of one level per day.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Song Sûl-Blooded

Song Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Because of their natural ability to assume human form and live much of their lives in the company of humans or fæy, the descendants of Drægrædsang commonly form bonds that result in dragon-blooded progeny. Though less often seen in the Three Worlds, song dragon-blooded individuals are almost common. One curious thing about song-dragon blooded individuals is that they are always female, and tend to be strikingly beautiful figures with powerful voices. Many who bear this bloodline become bards, orators, diplomats, and, more rarely, con artists.

(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Because Vaimiti's line forms cooperative arrangements with other creatures so frequently, they often find themselves in in close contact with members of other species. As a result, reef dragons commonly form close connections with others that sometimes turn into romantic bonds and produce offspring. In some coastal areas of the world, being descended from a reef dragon is so common that it is almost a certificate of good standing in the community. Reef dragon-blooded individuals tend to be lanky and tall, and almost always have an affinity for the sea.

Wild Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

As the self-appointed guardians of the wild places of the world, Walentyna's progeny would seem to have many opportunities to form unions with other woodland dwellers, but their preference for solitude tends to work in the opposite direction, making wild dragon-blooded individuals very rare, even in the Færie Realms. When wild dragons do produce mixed offspring, they tend to do so with fæy rather than the more mundane dwellers of the Three Worlds. Given the predilection of many fæy towards dalliances with humans and other mortal races, in rare cases the wild dragon bloodline is pass into human society in this manner. Those bearing the wild dragon bloodline tend to have a feral look about them - often seeming shaggier and more brutish than their peers, but tend to be possessed of a wisdom and patience beyond that which would be considered normal.

Molten Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Though the descendants of Rœðan are rare, they are not nonexistent. Once in a great while, a molten dragon will form a bond with another creature that can withstand the intense heat of the dragon's body, and from those unions come the molten blooded. Most who bear this bloodline have rough, hardened skin, and when they gain their natural armor bonus, their skin begins to take on the appearance of sheets of rock. They tend to have flaming red hair and orange eyes that almost glow from the fires within their souls.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Shadow Sûl-Blooded

Shadow Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Shadow dragons are not as numerous as many other types of dragons, and they are often disinclined to peaceful interaction with those of other species, but their predilection for lairs located in or near crossroads between worlds puts them in contact with a surprising number of passers by. While this bloodline is rare, it is not unheard of, as shadow dragons do, from time to time, become fascinated with particular travelers and ensnare them in their shadowy webs of deception. Those descended from Œmbar are not as strong and tough as those descended from other dragon bloodlines, but they make up for that with stealth and cunning.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Fang Sûl-Blooded

Fang Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Although Yævauð is gone, his legacy lives on in the bloodlines of his progeny. Though the fang dragons do not often interact with members of other races, when they do, they often take advantage of the relationship to the fullest extent possible, which often results in children. Those with the fang dragon bloodline are often irritable and aggressive, verging on sadistic at times.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Deep Sûl-Blooded

Deep Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Though deep dragons are rarely seen, because Gorsiaur's brood share his ability to assume humanoid form, those who share this bloodline are more common than one might expect. Those who bear this bloodline tend towards paranoia, seeking always to distract and trick possible foes.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Brown Sûl-Blooded

Brown Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Many of Kælleßin's brood make their lairs on the sandy deserts and plains of Ilkeas or the At'viras Steppes, and many of them form alliances with the tribes that live there. Sometimes these alliances produce offspring who often share the brown dragon's ill-temper and bear a brutish appearance. For some nomadic tribes, descent from a brown dragon is a mark of leadership, and being descended from (or being able to at least make the claim that one is descended from Kæleßin is a requirement for being recognized as a legitimate chieftain.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: White Sûl-Blooded

White Sûl-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

Some arctic tribes have managed to bargain with nearby members of Eorðraca's brood, trading food and occasional sacrifices for protection from their enemies. These alliances can result in dragon-blooded descendants who tend to mimic the single-minded ferocity of their forbears.
