Dragons anyone?

[Taber]

I'm Thinking of starting a new RPG called Dragons of Rela.

I am i long time Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) player and Dungeon Master (DM) and if you are familiar with it, i will be using a fair amount of D&D terms, but i will explain what it all means.
but i will not be using the system it's self, rather we will using the system of play most RPGers here will be comfortable with.

Dragons of Rela:

All dragons have four lags, large bat like wings, long tails and necks, shaped like a slender 12 foot long monitror lizard. Dragons here come in two sexes (male and female) and four colors; blue green red and white each with it's own strengths and weaknesses (see below). All dragons and intelligent and most are good in nature. most dragon speak Rellen (the language of Rela) and their own language. All dragons can fly with most reaching speeds up words of 60 KPH, swim just as easily and hold their breath for minutes at a time. Dragons to NOT have a breath weapons, (IE. Fire) nor do they have any innate magical abilities, but they can still learn spell casting just as any other (see below). Dragons depending on their type vary in size from as small as 5 feet at the shoulders and 20 feet in length from nose to tail with a 35 foot wing span and way about 1000 lbs, to as large as 8 feet at the shoulders and 23 feet in length and a 56 foot wing span and way about 1600. Dragons reach maturity at about 25 years of age and usually chose one life partner to mate and rear young. 6 months after mating eggs approximately the size of a human head are layout in worm softy soil, 5 months after that hatchings dig their way out of the soil and into the care of they dragon parents.

(math is fun... to make this easy i came up with this, it is all based off of shoulder height, now if your dragon has any inch's in their height divide the niches by 12 {IE. 6'11" = 6.917, then round the answer, 6.917 x 1.5 = at shoulder height x 1.5 = body 10.3755 rounded that is 10'4"} Shoulder height / 2 = neck. shoulder x 1.5 = body. shoulder x 200 = weight in lb. neck + body = tail. body + tail = wing. wing x 2 = wing span. [THIS IS MY BEST GUESS!] think long horses) if you can't get this or are having trouble understanding my math feel free to PM me.

Dragons of Rela: Red Dragons

Red dragons are most often the largest and strongest of the dragons, though this strength comes at a cost they are slower and not as agile then most smaller dragons. A Red Dragons scales form in plats adding armor but reducing they ability to maneuverable as fast as Dragons with less armor. their coloring is a dull red, darker along the back and lighter on the under belly.

Tending to want to act rather then debate what to do. A Red Dragon is vary rarely known for its intelligence or great wisdom, this means a Red Dragon will some times act with out taking every thing in to a count.
Quick to engage in combat if they feel threatened, they will throw them selves in to battle hoping to deal enough damage be for scumming to exhaustion.

Red Dragons rides are well trained in close combat able to hold their own while in melee with their Red Dragon mounts,

Dragons of Rela: Blue Dragons

Blue Dragons may not be as large as Red Dragons but they are still vary strong, but they are still not more agile. A blue Dragons scales once again form in plates, but these are larger then those of Red Dragons, this two reduces the Blue Dragon's ability to maneuver. A Blue Dragons plates are darker in color then scales between and under belly, making them hard to spot in open blue sky or in deep water.

Blue Dragons take time out and consider the decisions they make, and once decided they will follow through till the end what ever that maybe. Blue Dragons are known to be wise and understanding of others. A blue dragon will rarely act with out first taking all things into account.
A Blue Dragon will rarely start a fight but will hold out till the end, with their strength and armor they hope to out last a foe.
Blue Dragons in the Aerial Knights of Rela:
Blue Dragons work best with spell users, able to hold off attackers till spells can be cast.

Dragons of Rela: Green Dragons

Green Dragons are in the middle with more of an average size and a fair strength, but they are not the fastest dragons out there but they can still out maneuver and out pace a Blue. Their scales are smooth and hard with vary dark vertical lines that allow then you camouflage in green under growth vary well despite their large size.
Green Dragons will find the best answer for the time and do it, change and flexibility is key to the Green Dragon's mentality.
Preferring ambush, and using what ever other advantage they can get, a Green Dragon will rarely fight on fair terms, and will most likely flee if they have unfavorable odds.
Green Dragons in the Aerial Knights of Rela:
Work best with a combination ranged/melee, versatility is key, as they make for good scouts and way finders.

Dragons of Rela: White Dragons

White Dragons are the smallest and weakest of all dragons, but what ever they may lose in size and strength, they more then make up it by being the fastest and most agile. Their scales range from dull whitish gray to a bright silver, and are soft when compared to the plating of a Red or Blue Dragon, making them more maneuverable then most.
White Dragons are cunning, quick witted. and vary intelligent, and will use hit and run tactics, that focus on their greater speed and maneuverability.
White Dragons in the Aerial Knights of Rela:
Best suited to rangers making them hard to hit and harder to catch.
