The draconian deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the draconian that isn't incapacitated and the draconian doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Kapaks are a race of venomous draconians known for their stealth. They are created from copper dragon eggs. Kapaks average six feet tall and have sleek torsos and long limbs. Their scales are dull copper tinged with green, their eyes are orange or dark brown. They have short manes of dark brown or blonde hair hanging from either side of their mouths. Soft pads line the bottoms of their feet, enabling them to move silently. They speak in a soft, high-pitched whine. Venomous Drakes. The most exotic physical feature of the kapaks are the poison glands located under their tongues that continuously secrete a venomous spittle. The glands are magical in nature, and are capable of producing a virtually limitless amount of the thick, yellowish venom. Kapaks avoid any style of clothing that might draw attention to themselves. War Bands. Kapaks are not builders. Kapak bands occupy abandoned buildings throughout Krynn, primarily in mountain ranges near civilized regions. Towers and castles are favorite kapak strongholds. Kapaks seldom have formal leaders, making most decisions by consensus. When disagreements cannot be resolved, a kapak is just as likely to leave the group as he is to fight for the acceptance of his opinion. Kapaks have great respect for aurak draconians, and often allow them to serve as their leaders. A kapak band has a common treasure cache; individuals seldom keep more than a few coins for themselves. When a kapak leaves the band, he takes his share of the group's treasure with him, using it to buy his way into a new band. Baaz Rivals. Kapaks are larger than baaz draconians and often bully and abuse their smaller cousins. Consequently, the baaz hate the kapaks as much as they do any non-draconian race. Violent confrontations are common between baaz and kapaks. Aside from the baaz, the kapaks maintain good relations with other evil races, often hiring themselves out as mercenaries and assassins. Thousands of kapaks survived the War of the Lance, and they continue to serve in the remaining Dragonarmies that exist throughout central Ansalon.
