Dragon bloodline is very strong and can lay dormant in non-dragons for generations. Typically, the bloodlines come from certain of the metalic dragons that can polymorph, including gold, silver and bronze dragons, but deep dragons occasionally produce offspring amongst the Drow and other half breeds have been known. Half dragons are usually considered abominations and are typically destroyed, but occasionally they are allowed to thrive.

The Khilat bloodline has a strange mix of silver, deep and shadow dragon blood. While silver is strongest, traits from deep and shadow dragon blood appear with regularity.

Even latent, the bloodline has influence on Khilat's descendants, which includes many robust warriors, wizards and priests. Already traditional in the elven family line, rangers are very common. Rogues are uncommon and typically present when deep or shadow dragon blood is more dominant. Innate abilities and other traits are extremely uncommon (5%).

Activated Bloodline

Dragons can activate latent draconian bloodlines through a variety of means. Khilat used a draconian ceremony and spell to activate the latent bloodline of his descendants.
