[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8877251, member: 57383"] Yes, I intend to add a bit about their scales matching those of the standard chromatic & metallic dragons, but haven't quite decided how I'll approach it. At first it was just going to be a line in the Description, but now I'm leaning towards making it a paragraph which mentions energy immunities & maybe alignment leanings too. As indicated in blue, it's a placeholder that's pretty much the intro text of the 5E [b][i][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/gamemastering/magic-items/wondrous-items#Figurine_of_Wondrous_Power']figurine of wondrous power[/URL][/i][/b], which are able to magically understand their owner's commands. It's redded in brackets because I am toying with the idea of just having them understand Common and Draconic like a non-magic-item Dragon Warrior. You might also note that the [I]White Dwarf #21[/I] "dragon warrior tooth" magic item is activated by being crushed after its "command word" (the dragon's name) is called out, while a [I]figurine[/I] is thrown to the the ground somewhere within 60 feet after its command word is uttered. Intend to address the magic item once the Description proper is finished, so will think about whether to use the crushing or throwing version later. Or maybe both? Will likely to include the "trap activating" option of the original [I]teeth[/I], but will probably not have the time limit dependency on the dragon donor's age category. Might mention the normal limit of four teeth per dragon. [/QUOTE]
