Airdrakes are often seen in the sky (duh). They are often confused for dragons from a distance, but one will notice that they are often surrounded by clouds. |
Subspecies. There are three subspecies of airdrakes: winddrakes, thunderdrakes, and stormdrakes. They are distinguished by the number of hit points they have, and their subspecies determines their armor class (use the table below). There is no particular difference between each type of firedrake, and the only purpose of each subspecies is for social reasons and to find their AC.
Hit Points | Subspecies | AC | CR |
---|---|---|---|
37-51 | Winddrake | 12 | 5 |
52-72 | Thunderdrake | 13 | 6 |
72-96 | Stormdrake | 14 | 7 |
