Ice Draconian
ported to D2 by Bel
D1 version by Charis, which was playtested and rewritten by Morgane


Class: Sorceress
Tag: DRAG

Introduction

These magic creatures breath and slash with claws, as they age they develop new breaths. They are born with a very weak breath and no effective claws. Any time: Town portal, Identify Due to their size they can wear virtually no armor, shields or helms with a few exceptions... They can wear one ring on each Draconian hand, but no amulet can be worn. Scale mail armor can be melded into their own scales for added and magical protection.

Rules

They are limited to having on them two claws, one worn and one extra set of scales/armor. Loving trinkets, the dragon will seek to one day fill his Horadric Cube with baubles (Perfect Gems).
