Dungeons & Dragons: The Half-Dragon Mouse
Mar. 27th, 2017 07:41 pmPosted because somebody was curious. I created this file in Notepad, so the spacing turned into a big mess.
FROM D&D WIKI--EDITED BY ME
Changes were made to the breath weapon, Hit Dice, skill points, and feats that may not conform to the SRD. These changes were made to increase the starting CR to 3 as specified for a half-dragon and allow for 1 level's worth of improvement per age category.
Sartorn, Wyrmling Half-Dragon Mouse
-----------------------------------
There is a mouse at your feet. It sneezes. Roll a Fort save.
Sartorn is probably the smallest dragon that ever existed. Covered in minute blue-gray scales from her twitching nose to the tip of her long, mousy tail, and with slit-pupiled blue eyes, she has useless, permanently folded wings on her back and two stubby silver hornlets above her low-set yet mouselike ears. She is one of the Mad Mage's experiments, the result of infusing the stolen blood of a silver dragon into a pregnant mouse. Sartorn can speak haltingly in Draconic. She can read Draconic symbols. She cannot speak or read any other language.
Sartorn has remarkably long, sharp claws (for her size) and fangs as well as gnawing teeth. She has dug mouseholes in every square that contains a wooden surface in the Mad Mage's lab, which effectively means that she has a network of secret doors accessible only to a Fine or gaseous creature. She liked the Mad Mage, who often spoke to her in Draconic, but had to escape when she realized that he was laying out dissecting tools and there were no animals in the lab. Although saddened by his evident disregard for her as a person, she is lonely. She will observe visitors carefully from a hidden vantage point. If the party is not destructive or cruel, she will approach them at eye level and attempt to speak with them in Draconic. If treated well, she may follow the party, being careful to stay out of sight until she really trusts them, abandoning her treasure if she can't figure out how to hide it among the party's belongings. If treated poorly, she will escape. If the party seems dangerous, she may attack a lone character using her paralyzing breath and take food, tiny works of art such as finely crafted earrings or rings, and small items of fine cloth to her lair in one of the walls.
If the party can communicate with Sartorn, she will describe the Mad Mage's death in simple terms; although she saw him die while she was hiding nearby, she does not have the Int score necessary to understand what was happening. It should still be clear to the party that he was alone and examining an object.
