Half-Dragon, 2nd Variant (3.5e Race)
This is a half-dragon variant that broadens the abilities allowed to a half-dragon. It has abilities more akin to half-fiends or half-celestials than the original template. Changes are: a few spells allowed because of the dragon heritage, frightful presence, ability scores allowed, greater customization based on type of dragon and perhaps some other features which I've forgotten to add to this description. Fairly complete. Still needs criticism.

Personality
== Physical Description
Half dragons can favor either their base race or their draconic race. They adopt the special abilities and traits of both races, but use the base race, i.e. human, elf, dwarf; for their level of skills and feats. Half-dragons can look like either humans or upright dragons. those that favor the base race have many draconic features such as sharp bony ridges, fangs claws or any number of features. They are powerfully built and very muscular. Many have no hair, and those that follow the base race usually have jet black, silver or golden colored hair. Their eyes are draconic, no matter what race their features favor and by level 10 their eyes are solid orbs of whichever color their dragon type normally has.Their preferred classes are fighter, paladin and sorcerer if their int. is greater that 12 and they receive no xp penalty for multi-classing for these classes.
