Whether through magic, heritage, blessing, or curse, a rare event occurs when a creature is born with a touch of a dragon’s power. They vary in appearance with or without tinged skin, scaled hide, talons, or a tail. The only consistent feature that is always present is a pair of leathery reptilian wings.

Dracontii Tactics

A dracontii often flies over the battlefield using its breath weapon and other ranged, burst, or area attacks to harass enemies while its inspirational flight provides bonuses to allies. If the dracontii has no means to attack while in flight, it lands and enters melee while its abilities recharge. Once recharged, it attempts to shift away from battle and take flight again, spending its action point to do so if needed.
