'''Proficiencies:''' Half-dragons gain proficiency with all simple weapons.
 +
 +
'''Abilities (Ex):''' Each time you take a level in half-dragon, your ability scores increase as indicated on the table.
 +
 +
'''Multiattack:''' At 1st level, you gain Multiattack as a bonus feat.
 +
 +
'''Breath Weapon (Su):''' As soon as you take a level in half-dragon, you gain the ability to make breath weapon attacks. The energy type of your breath weapon is that of your chosen energy resistance for half-dragon. If you chose fire, cold, or acid, your breath weapon comes as a 15 ft cone. If you chose electricity, your breath weapon comes as a 30 ft line. At character level 9, the area of your breath weapon doubles, making it a 30 ft cone or a 60 ft line.
 +
 +
The damage of your breath weapon starts at 1d8. At each even character level, the damage increases by an additional 1d8 (so it's 2d8 at 2nd, 3d8 at 4th, and so on). It allows a Reflex save for half damage at DC 10 + 1/2 character level + Constitution modifier, and it requires 1d4 rounds to recharge after each use. You are always immune to your own breath weapon.
 +
 +
'''Blindsense (Ex):''' At 2nd level, you gain some of the pinpoint senses of a true dragon, gaining blindsense to 15 ft. At character level 8, this improves to blindsense 30 ft, and it extends even further to 60 ft at character level 15.
 +
 +
'''Tail Slap (Ex):''' You dig deeper into your draconic heritage. At 2nd level, you grow a draconic tail and gain a secondary tail slap attack (1d8 + 3/2 Strength for a Medium character). The damage of this tail advances by one effective size category at 8th and 16th character levels.
 +
 +
'''Spellcasting:''' At 3rd level, you gain a level of effective sorcerer casting. This stacks with any other sources of sorcerer spellcasting you may have (such as from actual sorcerer levels), and grants you sorcerer casting even if you don't have levels in sorcerer. This feature only increases your sorcerer spellcasting ability; it doesn't provide any other benefits of the sorcerer class (like providing or advancing your familiar).
 +
 +
'''Wings (Ex):''' At 3rd level, you grow a pair of wings, gaining a fly speed of 60 ft with average maneuverability. You can still fly at 40 ft (average) while wearing medium armor or carrying a medium load, but you cannot fly at all with heavy armor/a heavy load. This also grants you a pair of secondary wing attacks (1d4 + 1/2 Strength for a Medium character) that you may use even while flying. The damage of your wings advance by one effective size category at 8th and 16th character levels.
 +
 +
'''Flyby Attack:''' At level 3, you gain Flyby Attack as a bonus feat.

|'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Sleight Build:</u> The physical stature of kobolds lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category smaller. Whenever it is advantageous for him, a kobold is considered one size category smaller for the purposes of special abilities and combat maneuvers that depend on size (like the ''mighty throw'' maneuver) as well as checks that are subject to a size modifier (like Hide checks). In addition, a kobold can also count as one size category smaller when "squeezing" through tight spaces. Finally, he may use weapons designed for creatures of a size category smaller without penalty, though his size and reach remain that of his actual size. This trait stacks with effects that would change his size category.<br><u>Natural Weapons:</u> Kobolds have a pair of primary natural claw attacks (1d4 + Strength) as well as a secondary natural bite attack (1d3 + 1/2 Strength). At 6th level, he gains Multiattack as a bonus feat, allowing him to attack with his bite with only a -2 attack penalty. He gains Improved Multiattack at level 11, removing the penalty altogether. If he already has a feat from another source before he would gain that feat here, he instead gains a bonus feat of his choice. <br><u>Scaly Hide:</u> Kobolds have tough scales fortifying their skin, giving them a +1 natural armor bonus to AC. This bonus increases to +2 at level 5, +3 at level 10, and +4 at level 15, and +5 at level 20.

|'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Draconic Resistances:</u> Kobolds are indeed descended from dragons, so thus they gain some of the same resistances that dragons do. At 1st level, a kobold gains a +2 racial bonus on saves vs magical sleep and paralysis effects. This improves to +4 at level 7, +6 at level 13, and total immunity to those effects at level 19.<br><u>Mining Tools:</u> Kobolds automatically have Martial Weapon Proficiency with the light pick and the heavy pick.<br><u>Trapsmith:</u> Kobolds get a +2 racial bonus to Craft (Trapmaking), Disable Device, and Search. This increases to +3 at 4th level, +4 at 8th level, +5 at 12th level, +6 at 16th level, and +7 at 20th level.
