I won't even pretend to understand genetics, but I'd say simplify and toss out actual science in favor of a fantastic setting with flashy magic. That is what the game is meant to be, right?


Hey, if you want to reproduce using magical biology instead of biology biology, I'm not gonna argue. :P

In terms of simplicity and flashy magic, what's being said is basically:

Just because you're 1/4 whatever, doesn't mean that that 1/4 will present in your character. Remember you're 3/4 whatever else and that simple majority will override the 25% of whatever else you are.

This is the official PnP rule.

1/4 something gets no special template and no special traits and is considered a pure specimen of its base race, just with a good reason for taking the sorcerer class.

Personally, I like playing an RDD whose dragon ancestor is from probably a hundred generations ago. Zelly, when I first made her, had zero traits tied to her dragon heritage. The RP and how it built up to what she is now (an ugly freak of nature) was both compelling and deep. She is definitely not 1/4 dragon. Someone up there said they didn't know anyone who played an RDD who wasn't a 1/4 dragon. Now you do! And I think it's more fun, because it outlines the underlying obsessiveness required of the RDD class, the mental and physical changes that come over a humanoid unlocking such powerful blood. Zelly was changed forever and she still isn't as close to her ancestors as she wants to be.

Anyway, that's all I have to say about it! I would personally like to see the class RP'ed more than it is. It's not all about being a dragonblood. It's about the devotion and obsessive tendencies.


Make that a second character. One of mine did the same. She looked pretty normal, took RDD classes and chanelled her dragonblood, but then she stopped. She still has weird urges to eat fish, which her human side abhors, and got a mean streak when someone takes any of her gold (LIke Scrooge McDuck).

Playing the conflict between these two sides is quite interesting.
