Silver Dragon Good

Most beloved of dragonkind, friends and protectors of humans.

Nearly equal in power to red dragons, silvers are the most beloved in our world. Silver dragons, among the largest of dragonkind, love humans and visit cities and towns frequently. Unfortunately, silver dragons have been known to fall in love with their human companions, which has created awkward, and sometimes tragic, relationships.

Silver dragons usually build their lairs near favorite human communities, which lets them visit their human friends easily and protect them. They believe the purpose of life is to devote themselves to the cause of good and justice. They go to war only reluctantly, but will give their lives for a cause in which they believe.

Silver dragons can breathe a cone of perilously cold air, as well as a cloud of paralyzing gas.

Dragon Breath
Acid and lightning breath strike a single victim, while gas, fire and frost wash over every creature in the room. Fire and frost can break objects, lightning can melt jewelry, gas poisons food and drink, and acid weakens the protection armor offers.
