Dvontoi

In Greek myth, planting dragon teeth like seeds caused warriors (the spartoí) to spring from the ground. In our version of Pathfinder, it isn't quite that simple, but a secret ritual does exist that will spawn dragon-like humanoids by sowing dragon teeth. In our Dissolution campaign, these "dragon-tooth men", the dvontoi, are implemented as a collection of monstrous races, each based on the color of dragon whose teeth were planted. As with most monstrous races, these are not intended for use by PCs. These creatures advance using class levels, but their size or some racial abilities may scale as hit dice increase. The dvontoi are constructed using a (very) loose interpretation of Pathfinder's race creation system, using 25 RP. You may consider this OGL content. (This Paizo forum thread for comments.)

Chromatic Dvontoi

Chromatic dragons make use of dvontoi far more than other types of dragons, making a point to claim the teeth of fallen chromatics when they find them. Chromatic dvontoi tend to be quite loyal to chromatic dragons who create them, particularly if the dragon is their color. The various breeds of chromatic dvontoi tolerate each other, often under orders to work together.

The ritual for creating chromatic dvontoi involves planting five teeth at a time into the terrain favored by the dragon who previously owned the teeth. After several hours of incantations in draconic, the teeth are bathed in the breath weapon of a dragon of their color and covered. At the next sunset, more incantations bid five dvontoi to rise from the ground. As the incantations continue, the dvontoi immediately set upon each other in combat, fighting until only one remains. To conclude the ritual, the lone survivor consumes the hearts of the defeated.

Black Dvontoi

Evil dragons use dvontoi created from black dragon teeth as raiders, pirates and hunters.

Imperial Dvontoi

Imperial dragons create dvontoi to act as supervisors or caretakers of important matters while their attention is needed elsewhere. In some rare cases, an imperial dragon may lend a dvontoi to another imperial dragon. Few imperials ever create more than one dvontoi at a time, and require absolute loyalty from them. Imperial dvontoi often work with other races, but almost never with other dvontoi.

The ritual for creating imperial dvontoi may only be carried out by imperial dragons. In a stylized ritual, the dragon extracts one of its own teeth, digs a hole in a material it favors, breathes on the tooth, and buries it. When the next full moon rises, the ritual is completed, and the dvontoi slithers from the ground. While the dvontoi lives, no force can replace the extracted tooth. It is not unheard of for an imperial dragon to slay its dvontoi when its task is complete (or if the dvontoi is insubordinate), in order to regrow the tooth.

From the waist up, imperial dvontoi appear as scale-covered humanoids, with dragon-like heads. From the waist down, their bodies are very long, serpentine tails. Though superficially similar to serpentfolk, their tails are much longer and sinuous, and their heads more like their creators' than a snake.

Metalic Dvontoi

Metalic dvontoi tend to be extremely independent and strong-willed, so metalic dragons rarely go through the trouble of creating them. Those that are created may follow a dragon who created them for a time, but will inevitably strike out on its own sooner or later, often competing with its creator.

The ritual for creating metallic dvontoi involves crafting five teeth from the same dragon into a figurine fashioned from that dragon's namesake metal, and planting the figurine into the terrain favored by that dragon. After several hours of incantations in draconic, the teeth are bathed in the breath weapon of a dragon of their color and covered. At the next sunrise, more incantations cause a spring of molten metal to bubble from the ground and form into the dvontoi.

All metallic dvontoi appear as idealized, somewhat mechanical looking, dragon-men with no tails. At a distance, they can be mistaken for men in ornate scale mail with elaborate, dragon-like helmets.

Brass Dvontoi

Like their draconic progenitors, brass dvontoi prefer to talk instead of fight, and are drawn to large, civilized settlements. Brass dvontoi tend to become bards or clerics, though some are also sorcerers, oracles or other classes, and are always chaotic good.

Primal Dvontoi

The tiny primal dvontoi are almost never found outside the company of their own kind. Unlike their progenitors, the five breeds of primal dvontoi also commonly interact with and co-exist with each other, and prove to be a vital link between the primal dragons. Though the primal dvontoi technically serve the dragon who created them, more often they work behind the scenes to protect the dragon from itself.

Due to its brutality, the ritual for creating primal dvontoi its rarely carried out. While the teeth of some other types of dragons are extracted post-mortem, the centerpiece of the ritual for creating primal dvontoi is the forcible extraction of teeth from a living primal dragon. Though this occasionally kills the donor, most survive, which has led to the ritual being used as a way of settling debts between primal dragons. Five teeth are extracted by the leader of the ritual, then immersed in the element favored by the donor. Within seconds, five fully formed dvontoi emerge, predisposed to favor the leader of the ritual and shun the donor.

Brine Dvontoi

Brine dvontoi often find themselves as envoys between a brine dragon and its "subjects", so tend to have a diplomatic touch and an eye for order. Brine dvontoi tend to favor divine classes, such as cleric, druid or oracle, but count a fair number of sorcerers and other arcane classes in their midst. They are always lawful neutral.

Crystal Dvontoi

Though their monochrome bodies lack the splendor of crystal dragons, crystal dvontoi are just as vain, exacting and obsessive as their progenitors. When properly targeted by the other primal dvontoi, crystal dvontoi often bring just the right amount of organization to keep the primal dragons from fighting each other.

Umbral Dvontoi

Dvontoi Size

All dvontoi gain the size bonuses and penalties for their size listed in the table below. Some dvontoi change size as they gain levels. When this happens, they loose all the bonuses and penalties listed on the table for their current size and gain all the bonuses and penalties listed for their new size. (While most of these bonuses and penalties are standard for creatures of that size, adjustments to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution and reach are not. They follow the pattern in the race creation system and not, for example, the table in the Giant Creature template.)
