Half-Dragon Template Adapted for MLP based settings
This template is applied to a specific set of base creatures (Explained Below).
Creating a Kirin[edit]
This is an inherited template that can be applied to only Pegasi, Unicorns, and/or Earth Ponies (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
Size and Type[edit]
Size increases by 1 step and type changes to dragon.
Hit Dice[edit]
Increase base creature’s racial HD by one die size, to a maximum of d12. Do not increase class HD.
Speed[edit]
If the Base Creature has wings, flight distance is increased by 30'. If Base Creature does not have wings, they gain wings and a fly speed of 1.5 times their base land speed (rounded up) and average maneuverability.
Armor Class[edit]
+2 to Natural Armor
Attack[edit]
A Kirin gains two claw attacks and a bite attack, and the claws are the primary natural weapon. A kirin fighting without weapons uses a claw when making an attack action. When it has a weapon, it usually uses the weapon instead.
Full Attack[edit]
A kirin fighting without weapons uses both claws and its bite when making a full attack. If armed with a weapon, it usually uses the weapon as its primary attack and its bite as a natural secondary attack. If it has a clawed hand free, it uses a claw as an additional natural secondary attack. Damage: Kirins have bite and claw attacks. Refer to the table below for damage calculations (Other sizes included in case it applies)
| Size | Bite Damage | Claw Damage |
|---|---|---|
| Fine | 1 | - |
| Diminutive | 1d2 | 1 |
| Tiny | 1d3 | 1d2 |
| Small | 1d4 | 1d3 |
| Medium | 1d6 | 1d4 |
| Large | 1d8 | 1d6 |
| Huge | 2d6 | 1d8 |
| Gargantuan | 3d6 | 2d6 |
| Colossal | 4d6 | 3d6 |
Special Attacks[edit]
A Kirin gains a breath weapon usable 1/day. The breath weapon deals 2d8 points of damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 Kirin’s racial HD + Kirin’s Con modifier) reduces damage by half.
