## Half-Dragon Template
A beast, humanoid, giant, or monstrosity can become a half-dragon. It keeps its statistics, except as follows.
***Challenge***. To avoid recalculating the creature's challenge rating, apply the template only to a creature that meets the optional prerequisite in the Breath Weapon table below. Otherwise, recalculate the rating after you apply the template.
**Senses**. The half-dragon gains blindsight with a radius of 10 feet and darkvision with a radius of 60 feet.
***Resistances***. The half-dragon gains resistance to a type of damage based on its color.
**Table- 114** - Monsters: Half-Dragon Template (Damage Resistance)
| Color | Damage Resistance |
|---------------------|-------------------|
| Black or copper | Acid |
| Blue or bronze | Lightning |
| Brass, gold, or red | Fire |
| Green | Poison |
| Silver or white | Cold |
| | |
**Languages**. The half-dragon speaks Draconic in addition to any other languages it knows.
***New Action: Breath Weapon***. The half-dragon has the breath weapon of its dragon half. The half- dragon's size determines how this action functions.
**Table- 115** - Monsters: Half-Dragon Template (Size)
| Size | Breath Weapon | Optional Prerequisite |
|------------------|--------------------|-----------------------|
| Large or smaller | As a wyrmling | Challenge 2 or higher |
