	With natural defenses and above average HP, Draconians are a relatively easy race to play. While they can't wear [[body armour]], their scales provide AC without the usual [[armour encumbrance]]. Because of this, Draconians make good spellcasters and [[Ranged Weapons\|ranged fighters]]. Otherwise, their aptitudes are average ~~or higher~~ across the board, so they can do well in most roles.

Because of this, Draconians make good spellcasters and [[Ranged Weapons\|ranged fighters]]. Otherwise, their aptitudes are roughly average across the board, so they can do well in most roles.

	Draconians change colors at level 7, gaining limited-but-powerful [[Draconian breath attacks\|breath attacks]] that recharge with XP. Certain colours will receive a somewhat poor aptitude (-2) to one magic school; in many cases, this does not majorly affect game play.
