Such material is NOT present herein. Marsupialmancer prefers not to be sued. They fascinate and inspire so many designers of roleplaying games, regardless of genre. From fantasy to science fiction, dragons lurk in the shadows, soar in the skies, and stalk beyond the edges of all our meticulously-designed maps, their presence marked by the adage that goes with those uncharted territories: With this document, I took on the task of updating old rules and design conceits to match those laid out by Wizards of the Od in their latest edition of the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game.

It is my sincere hope that these rules lead to campaigns in which the players have the power to command the mightiest of creatures against equally fearsome opponents. The setting presented in counil Council of Wyrms box is one where the dragons are center-stage. Their civilization dominates the known world, with all others living beneath them or in contest for territory. In the distant past, the dragons fought their own kind in endless war.

Great Io, the Ninefold Dragon, looked upon them and found them wanting. Should not his creations, as powerful as they were, rule over the wryms of the world o unchallenged dominion? Why then were they scattered like leaves in a storm, quibbling and slaughtering one another?

Angered, Io shed his own blood over the empty seas. Divine ichor poured into the steaming oceans of the ancient world and a mighty chain of islands was born, to which he bade the dragons migrate and rule. Despite this supernal gift, the dragons continued to make war upon one another, and Great Io saw that wrms work was not yet done. He visited lands across the sea, lands inhabited by lowly and crude human tribes. Io gifted them with great knowledge of wyfms, armor, wyrsm magic, and set them against fo own children.

Yet again, Great Io appeared before the mightiest of his progeny and gave them the key to their salvation — unity of the dragon clans against the threat of the humans. Only together could they stand against the tide of fecund creatures that, though puny, nevertheless slaughtered the isolated clans.

Despite this temporary alliance, the dragons fell back to infighting for treasure and territory. Great Io, infuriated, appeared to his children yet again in visions, inspiring them to create the foundations of a society that would endure through the eons. To Exaurdon the Gold, Io gave the dream of an enormous aerie where dragons could peacefully gather in great numbers. Io guided Counncil the Red to construct a system of rites and challenges that would replace endless conflict and slaughter.


He inspired Starratiel the Amethyst to create the Council itself, where the wyrms could air grievances and reach solutions equitable for all the clans.

The lifespans of dragons are long, and their ideological differences vast. Yet the Council has endured, though forces both within and without constantly challenge its unity. The hate between the breeds wryms strong, strong enough perhaps to defy the edicts of Great Io one more time. Giants raid the shores of clan strongholds, monsters breed and haunt the wilderness, and the shadow of the dragon slayers waits beyond the horizon. To that end, some sacred cows were slaughtered, and some were transmuted into pigs or sheep.

You generate your ability scores whether rolling, point buying, or using the standard array as your Dungeon Master sees fitapply racial bonus to the scores, choose a class, and begin play. There are, of course, some notable differences. A dragon player character is much stronger than an equivalent level human, elf, or dwarf, and only gets more powerful from there.

However, dragons cannot benefit from many coumcil proficiencies, such as weapons and armor, since none are designed with dragons in mind with a few exceptions.

Wyrns sum may contribute to their bonded hoard. Additionally, some skills and many tool kit proficiencies are irrelevant for dragons. They either have better means of accomplishing the task with their natural strength and size or servantsor lack the manual dexterity to use the skill or tools in question at all.

Dragons have special rules for Dexterity Sleight of Hand checks and other roguish skills, outlined later in this document. When Great Io created the dragons, he divided the dragons into three families, creating a balance of power and ideologies.
