The ability score bonuses listed in the tables for each race are added immediately upon reaching the given age category, and are cumulative with previous bonuses (which is why so many of them look so similar). For instance, a Young Adult Black Dragon has +8 STR, +6 CON, +2 INT, +2 WIS, and +2 CHA.
As noted in the description of the Dragon class, each dragon race has a normal racial alignment, which most members of that race have. Dragons of that race are not required to have the racial alignment, but life among their own kind often becomes a lot more difficult for them if they don't. Minor (one-step) alignment differences usually are barely noticed until the dragon is an adult, and so those are more common; greater differences bring progressively greater ostracising from peers. While it is not impossible for a good-aligned chromatic dragon, or an evil metallic one, to reach adulthood, it is so rare as to be virtually unheard of. Such unusual individuals always need protection outside their race if they are to survive, and many eventually leave their birth race behind to become advanced dragons.
Finally, most dragon races have an experience penalty to gaining levels- this uses the standard "effective character level" mechanism. For instance, a dragon with an ECL of +1 is treated as a 2nd level character while still at 1st level, and thus begins with 1000 experience and must go up to 3000 before gaining its first level.

Brass, Greater |
- Overview/History: When the Greater White dragon clan progenitor, Cryomek, declared her clan's existence before the Elder Dragon Council, she did so by demanding the Council's surrender and subjugation to her. Astonishingly, and frighteningly, she and her assembled clanmates proved able to back up their demands with force, and the surviving Elders were thrown into crisis. Desperate to find the power to defeat the new menace before she could undo countless millennia of dragon heritage, the Elders did the unthinkable.
They called upon the gods, and begged for their aid.
Though most of the gods at the time were unwilling to interfere in dragon affairs (in accordance with a pact which had existed between dragonkind and themselves since time immemorial), or simply wished to watch the events unfold and deal with the fallout, Damok felt differently. Though he was one of the originators of the pact itself, he had no desire to see dragon civilization upset or destroyed by such a catastrophe, especially since it would leave an evil clan as absolute rulers of dragonkind- most likely leading to a war between the dragons and the remaining peoples of Taera. Therefore, in defiance of the pact he himself helped create, Damok acted. In order to upset dragon society as little as possible, he decided that the best way to fight this new clan was by creating another new clan of his own to fight them; once the purpose of their genesis was fulfilled, they could join dragon society like any other clan and continue to help guard it against any similar problems which might arise in the future. Having seen the creation of the Greater Whites, he knew that both psionic training and the mutative properties of constant Polymorphing were key factors in the new clan's birth, as well as a fierce drive to overcome inherited weakness.
All these factors and decisions led to Damok's act of intervention. Since the Whites were the weakest clan of chromatic dragons, at least before the advent of the new offshoot, he decided that the most appropriate place to begin his new clan from was with the Brass clan- the weakest of the metallic dragons. After stealing the magical blade Rhyscriok, which Cryomek had used to help create her new clan, directly from the matriarch's own lair, Damok found an unusually quiet and thoughtful young Brass male named Gerrianthor who was willing to give up his previous life to bring the new clan into being. Knowing that it would take much time to train and create the clan, despite the immediate need for its existence, Damok took Gerrianthor several centuries into the past- many centuries even before his own birth. Training the young Brass in the psionic ways with the help of a member of the mysterious Priory itself, Damok used the powers of Rhyscriok to alter the dragon's genome just as Cryomek had previously used it on her children. After over two hundred years of secret training, Gerrianthor was ready to begin.
With the god's help, he found the smartest, strongest, and noblest Brass females that Taera had to offer, and mated with each of them- asking to raise some of the children on his own. Though this was (and continues to be today) very unusual behavior for a Brass male, the new mothers were all too happy to comply with him, though he never explained to them the reason for his strange request, nor how he chose the eggs he did. Though the eggs he chose always seemed random to his mates, Gerrianthor was in fact quite deliberate in his choices- he took away all eggs that his psionic abilities told him had psionic potential themselves, as well as some that Damok (who was frequently along for the choosing- though never revealing himself to the mothers) suggested that he take. With this army of eggs, Gerrianthor trained a new generation of Brass dragons that were not only more powerful magically than their forebears, but also had innate psionic might. Over several tense centuries, Gerrianthor trained his clan and impressed the dire need hanging over them into each and every new member, with all of them carefully staying out of the sight and knowledge of dragonkind until the fateful year approached once more. Thus it was that in 2461, a mere two days after Cryomek and her Greater White clan routed the Elder Dragon Council and the Guardians of the Vale, Gerrianthor the Elder returned to the Dragon Vale himself- leading an army of Greater Brass dragons ready to defend the civilization of dragonkind with their lives.
During the fierce fighting that followed, the most powerful of the Greater Brass clan were slain, but their new power proved to be more than a match for the Greater Whites who had usurped the sacred territory. Gerrianthor himself died fighting Cryomek, mortally wounding her in the process; with their matriarch and most powerful member dead, the morale of the Greater Whites broke, and they fled. The restored Elder Dragon Council declared the surviving Greater Brass soldiers to be a new clan of their own, and granted them the status of heroes among dragonkind for as long as dragon civilization should last. With their existence no longer secret, the Greater Brass dragons who had survived the trip to their ancestral home- and those who had not made the trip at all- emerged into the world, and spread themselves far and wide in order to continue the watch for new threats.
- Personality: Greater Brass dragons have a clan purpose, and all hatchlings are brought up with an understanding and appreciation for that purpose. This essentially polarizes the personality types found within the clan into two camps: those who accept the clan's responsibility to guard the rest of dragon society, and those who don't. Those who accept the responsibility tend to be very serious-minded, rarely if ever cracking (or even laughing at) jokes which poke fun at the clan, their purpose, or their history. Those who don't, become even more extreme versions of Lesser Brass dragon stereotypes, and either ragularly make light of the very same things the "responsible" ones never laugh at, or simply ignoring them and pretending they don't exist.

Gray |
- Overview/History: At some point during the early decades after the Greater White dragons were thwarted in their attempt to take over draconic civilization, when the surviving Greater Whites spread across the face of Taera to ensure their clan's long-term survival, one young pair of them opted to settle in a swamp rich with strange life after noting the apparent absence of other sentients and top predators. What escaped them during their investigation was the reason for the swamp's lack of normal inhabitants- the Ancient radiation emanating from the ruins of a battle fought before the Annihilation. Before they realized the danger, the radiation caused mutations in both of them, ruining their formerly sleek and perfect forms. Humiliated by the change, the pair decided to stay in isolation in the swamp rather than seek a way to reverse the changes elsewhere, and during the next two centuries they produced several clutches of eggs. Though most of the eggs died before the hatchlings within could be born, a few survived, and these were trained in the use of their powers by their parents. After those two hundred years, the original pair of settlers finally succumbed to the deadly radiation and died, but those of their children which had survived were naturally resistant to its effects and did not go down so easily. Their lifespans were cut short by the terrible mutations afflicting them, but over three more centuries of (in)breeding the mutations gradually stabilized and gave the children new powers.
Then came the Year of Madness and the ensuing War of Return. The newly-returned Mind Flayers tried to establish beachheads and bases all over the world during the first years of the War, and one fateful day a band of them tried to establish a base in the (apparently) deserted swamp where the once-White dragons lived. Though their powers were fearsome, the powers of the dragons proved fiercer still, and the Mind Flayers were quickly overwhelmed. Though this event was at best a minor skirmish in the scope of the greater conflict taking place in the world outside the swamp, it was like a lightning catalyst to the budding clan of mutants who lived inside it. For the first time, they became curious about the world beyond their birthland, and set out to explore it. Inevitably, the mutants came into contact with unmutated dragons, and through them learned of the dragon civilization (which had long since grudgingly accepted the existence of the Greater White dragon clan). Though the mutants had always considered themselves part of the Greater White clan, their horrifically altered forms and powers disgusted the scions of the original clan, and the Greater Whites disowned them. Undaunted, the mutants decided to declare themselves to be a new clan, and since one of their common mutations dulled the once-lustrous white of their scales to a dirty gray (the better to blend in with the marsh), they opted to call themselves the Gray dragon clan. Since the dragon civilization was still recovering from the consequences of the last time they refused to recognize a new clan, the Elders granted sanction to the newcomers (over the objections of the Greater Whites present), and the Gray dragon clan was born.
- Personality: .
- Racial Alignment: Neutral Evil.
- Physical Description: Gray dragons present a bizarre and terrible appearance. Even as hatchlings, they have numerous flaps and rotting folds of scales and skin, which give them the appearance of decomposition even when in the full flower of healthy life. Their scales are dusky and mottled gray in color, with various patches being darker or lighter gray depending on the individual. The symmetry of their bodies is also slightly off-kilter; while not enough to significantly affect their movement or balance, it adds to the feeling of "wrongness" that most other people have when confronted with a Gray dragon. More importantly, Gray dragons grow both a third eye (placed between the first two) and an extra pair of legs- giving them six altogether.
- Range/Lairs: Gray dragons can establish lairs in any sort of terrain, but in practice they always pick areas saturated with dangerous radiation if it is possible to do so. Gray dragons are aware of their horrific appearance, and part of their racial psyche is just as disgusted with it as most other creatures are- so they enjoy the solitude that living in such dangerous territory affords them. The fact that the radiation tends to keep annoying dragonslayers away is another bonus in favor of Radiation Zones. Finally, it is thought that perhaps some distant genetic memory of the radioactive marsh that effectively gave birth to their clan still exists today even in Gray hatchlings who have never even seen a swamp, and this memory manifests itself as an instinctual longing for radioactive terrain in general.
- Relations: While the Greater White clan that they came from is the favorite scapegoat of modern dragon society, the actual Gray clan is generally kept at a distance. Between their generally disagreeable natures, their terrible appearance, and the regions they prefer to live in, the Grays are regarded with fear, horror, pity, or loathing depending on the disposition of the dragon making the judgement. Regardless of individual attitudes, however, the official stance of most dragon clans is to leave the Grays alone, and for their part the Grays are happy to be left that way. The only four clans with which Grays have any regular relations (read: trouble, since the "relations" in question usually amount to attacking each other on sight) are the Opals and Radium (who compete for territory with them), the Greater Whites (who are disgusted with them and want to wipe the mutant relatives out), and the Greater Brass (who nominally consider them to still be part of the Greater White clan, and therefore enemies to be vigilant against). Grays do not normally have relations with any nondragons, except to fight/kill/eat them; it is rare that a Gray dragon even bothers to talk to nondragons that enter its territory before simply attacking with all its power.

- Hit Dice: +3.
- Natural Armor: +2.
- Attack Bonus: +4.
- Saving Throws: +1.
- Dragonfear DC: +5.
- Power Resistance (PR): +2. Despite being spellcasters, Gray Dragons have higher PR than SR.
- Breath Weapon Type/Die (DC): Cone of Radioactive Ash (damage is half Radiation, half Cold)/d4 (+1, requires Radiation save rather than normal Reflex). Also, a failed save causes radiation sickness, spellcasters who fail cause Wild Surges instead of spells cast for 1 round/age category, and psionic manifesters who fail cannot manifest for 1 round/age category.
- Bonus Skills/Feats: Appraise is a class skill regardless of the class level gained.
- Skill Bonuses: +8 racial bonus on Swim checks, and can always take 10 on Swim even under duress. This derives from the dragon having a Swim speed, and is not a racial bonus in the strictest sense.
- Bonus Attacks: Gaze weapon from third eye (range 20 feet/age category): save DC equal to breath weapon; causes victims to be shaken and affected as if by Ray of Enfeeblement at normal caster level for 1d6 rounds + 1/age category; extra pair of legs allows 4 Claw attacks instead of 2.

Pink |
- Overview/History: According to the stories told by the oldest Pink dragons, their clan was born in the loving union of a Red male and a Greater White female during the 200 or so years following the bombshell declaration of the Greater Whites' existence. Given the ridiculous unlikelihood of either a Red or a Greater White dragon learning to love at all, let alone a member of such a polar opposite clan, and further given the Pinks' collective penchant for dramatic embellishment and artistic license, most scholars aware of the story dismiss it outright. Even so, the tale as told offers several intriguing clues that fit the facts too well to be so easily tossed aside.
First, since most evil-aligned creatures consider love a weakness and do their best to avoid or suppress it, then if one takes the story at face value, it is most reasonable to assume that the pair who mated were not evil-aligned. This would have led them to be outcasts from their own clans, beyond a doubt, and probably hunted as well (especially the Greater White one, since that clan was constantly hunted for centuries after their failed coup attempt). Also, Pink dragons in general are not evil-aligned, which is a very strange trait for a chromatic clan to exhibit; though some cynical scholars attribute their racial personality to lunacy resulting from a conflict between the two sides of their inner nature, it could also be simply a clan tradition carried down from its true progenitors.
Second, Pink dragons are today and (so far as anybody knows) always have been nomadic, using magic and cleverness to carry their hoards and homes with them wherever they travel. Such a nomadic existence would have been necessary for survival of a hypothetical pair like that of the story, since staying in one place long enough to become established would give dragon hunters (draconic or otherwise) time to find them and kill them. In order to ensure their own survival, as well as that of their children, they would have raised their family "on the road" and impressed the need to wander into their budding clan.
Third, in contrast to the vast majority of dragon clans, the Pink clan actively seeks out contact with non-dragons, often living among them unobtrusively for most of their lives. This sort of existence would have been an ideal way to hide for a pair of mates hiding from the collective wrath of their dragon clans- and again, they no doubt would have carefully ingrained the behavior into their children, to better help the family stay hidden. Also, they would have had to earn a living somehow among the "mortals," in order to safely stay hidden, and the most logical way for a family of nomads to live (even today) is as entertainers- which is exactly the way most Pink dragons prefer to live.
Finally, the Pink dragons' physical appearance and powers suggest a rather unstable mix of opposing forces; the patches of pure red and white that most of them sport certainly suggest that their origin did involve some kind of mating between Red and White dragons- and the fact that they exhibit both natural psionic powers and natural spellcasting ability strongly suggests that the White side of that mating was of the Greater sort.
Whatever the reason for their existence, the Pink dragon clan- though often looked down upon by most of dragon society- is one of the best-loved examples of dragonkind among nondragons, albeit indirectly since very few of the nondragons whose moods are lifted by the Pinks ever realize the true nature of their entertainers. Though their origin remains a mystery, beyond the fact that they have existed for less than 2500 years, they are clearly around to stay- and most people who are aware of them are content to keep it that way.
- Personality: Pink dragons are most commonly known as the "Crazy dragons," "Wacky dragons," and "Silly dragons" among other clans (and even some nondragons). Though some creatures might be insulted by such demeaning epithets, most Pink dragons bear them as a mark of pride; all three names point to their most deeply cherished traditions and personality traits. This is because Pink dragons have a driving racial goal, and that goal is entertainment- pure and simple.

- Natural Armor: +1.
- Attack Bonus: +7.
- Saving Throws: +2.
- Dragonfear DC: +1.
- Spell Resistance (SR): +3.
- Breath Weapon Type/Die (DC): Line of Light (Radiation)/d6 (+1), Cone of Confusion gas/confused for 1d4 rounds + 1/age category (+1).
- Bonus Skills/Feats: Knowledge (Geography) is a class skill regardless of the class level gained.
- Skill Bonuses: +1 rank in Jump for free, with each level of Dragon attained. +8 racial bonus to Swim checks, and can always take 10 even under duress (this derives from the dragon having a Swim speed, and is not a racial bonus in the strictest sense).
- Bonus Attacks: As a full-round action, a Quicksilver Dragon can reflect and concentrate light off of its scales (if it is in light of average daylight intensity or greater) and attempt to blind opponents inside a 5-foot-per-age-category radius circle, centered anywhere within a 30-foot-per-age-category range. Creatures in the area of the light circle must make Reflex saves (DC same as the dragon's breath weapon) or be blinded for 1d4+1 rounds. Creatures which do not depend on vision are immune to this attack, of course. This ability may be used any number of times per day, as long as the light is good enough, and Quicksilver Dragons sometimes use this to illuminate dark places before actually entering them, or to search for things hidden in shadows.

White, Greater |
- Overview/History: In 1429 AA, an unusually strong and intelligent young (Lesser) White dragon female named Cryomek managed to destroy an outrunning patrol of the newly-minted Friizan (Ice Elf) Empire. The leader of the patrol was a nephew of the Emperor, and was carrying a weapon befitting his station, the blade called Rhyscriok the Frozen Flame. Cryomek immediately became a hunted creature, but she had learned the command word to activate the weapon's Polymorph power during the battle, and she therefore was able to transform herself into an unobtrusive Frostling woman and live among the citizens of the Empire. During the next fifty years, Cryomek assumed several different identities, and learned a great many new ideas from the people she lived among- including the value of parentage and family, and more significantly how to unlock her inner psionic potential. Once she developed the ability to change her own shape without the help of the blade, Cryomek left humanoid society behind and returned to a draconic life in the wilderness with a mind greatly changed from her previous outlook.
With her newfound power, Cryomek had little trouble establishing a strong and secure lair for herself in an icy mountain near the north pole, and from that hidden cavern she ravaged and terrorized the Empire for centuries. She also gathered a harem of the strongest and smartest male White dragons she could find, and kept them dominated and submissive using her considerable psionic might. Eventually, inevitably, one of them impregnated her, and she laid her first clutch of eggs. Being as coldhearted and ruthless as the frozen tundra itself, Cryomek was determined to create a family dynasty to help her keep her grip on the area, and she used her psionic powers to determine which eggs carried psionic potential before they even hatched- and destroyed the ones that showed no such potential. When the eggs she allowed to survive hatched, she carefully tended the hatchlings personally, and kept them isolated from all of her consorts. By teaching them from birth to use their psionic potential, and with liberal use of Rhyscriok's Polymorph power, Cryomek created a generation of White dragons who were naturally psionic- even as the "gem dragon" clans normally are- but in addition to their magical powers. As she mated with her various consorts, her coterie of young students grew.
One day, Cryomek entrapped a new consort who had actually gone to the Dragon Vale and named himself before the Elder Dragon Council to join dragon society. Cryomek had never even heard of this ritual, but once she did, she began to scheme of how she could use this society to gain her family even more power. Accordingly, when her first clutches of children reached the naming age, she gathered them together with her and flew with them to the Dragon Vale as one. When they came before the Council in 2461, Cryomek and her progeny declared not only their own names, but also the existence of a new dragon clan- a "Greater" White clan. Finally, they also declared that Cryomek herself was worthy of joining the Elder Council, and that the Council should acknowledge her immediately or face the clan's wrath. The astounding arrogance of this move shocked the Council members of the time to their very cores, and the sitting Red and White members immediately called the assembled Guardians to smite these interlopers. The wily Cryomek, however, proved to be well prepared, and before the astonished Council members, she and her "new clan" soundly defeated the entire force sent against them- including the frenzied White and Red Elders themselves! With the remaining Guardians in disarray, and the surviving Elders fled, Cryomek settled down in the Crater of Life to dictate her terms.
The enormity of what she had done was unprecedented in dragon history. Not only were these newcomers capable of both natural spellcasting and psionic manifesting, but they were also considerably stronger and smarter than White dragons properly should be, and clearly better organized as well. As if that was not enough, this "new clan" had both the temerity to demand tribute from the Council of Elders (as opposed to the reverse), and worse, the power to back up that demand. In crisis, the surviving Elders made a desperate gamble and called on the humanoid gods for the first time in dragon history. The call was answered by Damok, who chose to help the Council by creating the Greater Brass dragons; the first assembly of the Greater Brass clan took the Crater back from Cryomek and her children. Cryomek herself was killed during the fierce battle, but most of her children escaped, and spread themselves throughout the world by using their psionic powers to adapt themselves to the various environments they found where they went. Though the Council had their sacred meeting-ground back, it had come at a terrible cost- and the new clans were clearly not going away. Thus, the Greater White dragons became the first new dragon clan established in over fifty draconic generations, and its scions today are ranked among the most fearsome and deadly of the evil-aligned species.
- Personality: Greater White dragons are powerful, and they know it. Invariably, they have a tendency to arrogance and overbearing personal interactions which could give even Reds and Rainbows a run for their hoards. In stark contrast to the original Lesser Whites, the Greater are excellent and attentive parents, carefully teaching their hatchlings from birth to use their powers to achieve the racial destiny of supremacy among dragonkind (and the world). Because other dragon clans still remember the crimes of their progenitors, however, the Greater Whites also teach their children to disguise themselves to keep the advantage of surprise for as long as possible, as well as a truly obsessive drive for survival above all else- which leads most Greater Whites to take ranks in Stabilize Self as they grow older. The few members of this clan who are not evil-aligned still exhibit these personality traits, so deeply ingrained are they into the clan psyche.
- Racial Alignment: Neutral Evil.
- Physical Description: .
- Range/Lairs: Through use of Adapt Body, the Greater White dragon clan has expanded its range to include all terrain that exists on Taera, and even some that doesn't (for those members of the clan who develop plane-travelling abilities). Those who live outside arctic regions are generally very careful to hide their true natures, so as to maintain the advantage of surprise for as long as possible; their ability to Polymorph into humanoid form only helps this further since the vast majority of non-metallic dragon clans do not have that ability. Therefore, Greater White dragons can be found more or less anywhere, though opponents rarely realize that they are fighting a Greater White dragon until it is too late. That is, of course, exactly the way the Greater Whites like it.

White, Lesser |
- Overview/History: White dragons were the least powerful of the evil-aligned dragon species before the transition of Cryomek created the Greater White clan. Between the brief war she started and the fact that Greater Whites breed true among Lesser Whites, as well as the contempt they are held in by (and abuse they take from) other evil dragons, the Lesser White dragons are a dying breed. Every century there are fewer of them, but few seem to be mourning their passing- even the Lesser Whites themselves, who are either too stupid to care for such large issues, or of the opinion that the vast power of the Greater Whites is simply a case of survival of the fittest (and therefore try to ingratiate themselves to Greater Whites at every opportunity). Another reason for the decline is that Lesser Whites are generally terrible parents. They frequently abandon their eggs after laying them, and the hatchlings rarely even know who their parents are or were (they are notorious among other dragon clans for having either false lineage information, or none at all, during their Naming ceremonies- when they bother to show up for the ceremonies at all). Therefore, newborn Lesser Whites usually have to fight among their clutchmates for their first scraps of food, if the clutch remains undisturbed; of course, the eggs are a delicacy among other cold-dwelling races and creatures, and some humanoid races try to raise them in captivity, so their eggs rarely stay undisturbed for long.

- Adventurers: Given that they very rarely know their parents or have a family to tie them down, Lesser Whites are essentially forced to live a constant adventure until they find decent places to make their lairs. Those taken by non-dragons to raise are sometimes luckier, but such circumstances generally aren't happy for the hatchling (most people who take the eggs to raise are less interested in the hatchling's welfare than in how to use the dragon for war or other work). Accordingly, Lesser Whites rarely form bonds with other creatures; however, occasionally a particularly smart one decides to follow other creatures it sees as useful somehow, or a hatchling with a less evil point of view seeks out genuine companionship. The most difficult part of these budding adventurers' lives is in convincing the people they want to travel with to accept them into the fold instead of simply killing them (or beating them into submission and slavery).
