@Ara: ROFL

This is probably the most bizarre discussion I've seen or heard. Ever.

/me Wanders off, humming.

Tal the Fairy Dragon lived by the Shores of Lethe...

 

Will a "Pink Dragon Disciple" T-Shirt ever appear in the SP Shop?

/singing along "Tal the fairy dragon..."

 

hehehehe I so love this thread.

Yes, that explains it perfectly... Tal is just pretending to be a Red Dragon with a bit of glamoury...

If PDD tshirts are sold in the SP store Ill be one of the first to buy one! ^_^

 

You just talked (typed) your way right out of that one. The one thing Tal isn't is chaotic; he was just tired of the chaos you were spreading, and he hoped it might shut you up to give you the title. And Puff may have been purple, but so are Amethyst Dragons.

Fairy Dragons (CG) are classified as dragonets due to their miniscule size (about 1ft./30 cm long), as are Firedrakes (N) and Pseudodragons (N/NG). And while Fairy Dragons do change color as they age, pink does not come into the equation. (Red would incidentally mean a baby picture from its hatchling stage. ) The Fairy Dragon's breath weapon is a 2' (60cm) diameter cloud of euphoria gas; like Confusion but more benevolent.

Here's a chart for those who wonder about Fairy Dragons (from youngest to oldest).

Hatchling: Red
Very Young: Red-orange
Young: Orange
Juvenile: Orange-yellow (like the picture; MM/89)
Young Adult: Yellow
Adult: Yellow-green
Mature Adult: Green
Old: Blue-green
Very Old: Blue
Venerable: Blue-violet
Wyrm: Violet
Great Wyrm: Black

EDIT: Looking at my 2e MM, I've noticed a dragon that covers the entire rainbow all at the same time: the Cloud Dragon! (MM/81) They have a layered look not unlike one of those sand-glasses. (You know, those things you made in primary school by making layers of differently colored sand inside a glass.) They're Neutral in alignment, though all of their powers are environment and cloud-related; not terribly likely for a master of cyberspace.

So, in conclusion, RUBY!!!

Methinks that Felinoid is a rules lawyer...

 

@DxA:
More semantics and being overly helpful. As a player I rarely question the DM's judgement (for example, if Tal were to make a ruling on the subject I would promptly shut up except to let people know about the ruling), but when other players say something that seems unknowledgable of the rules I try to correct them. Mostly I'm just outraged ( ) at how everyone keeps implying that Tal is evil by calling him a chromatic name.

I think rubies make more sense because some rubies are lighter in color (almost pink), so it makes sense that a younger Ruby Dragon would look pink. His new deeper red color simply indicates that he's "grown up" into his powers. Then again, perhaps I do more research than is necessary.

 

Ah well if we want to gem-ify the pink dragons, then why not call them Rose Quartz, or there is Rubelite (pink tourmaline), theres also pink sapphires, rubies (as you mentioned), pink garnets, and there are other types of pink gems as well.

Well everyone seems to be agreeing with the cone of cottoncandy bit, and Tal hasnt refuted it...

 

But perhaps Fel's rules-lawyering has brought us some interesting new clues...

On one hand, I think Fel would have to agree that the rules book isn't exhaustive to the DnD universe, just as we still don't have anything near an exhaustive classification of species in RL (as only a tiny percentage of species have been classified). At the same time, taking the rule books as fundamentalist truth would limit the ability of a GM and RP group to customize their own play universe...

That being said:

I think Fel may have inadvertantly brought up an interesting argument: wouldn't it make sense that a "master of cyberspace" would actually have powers addressing an "environment"?

1) Cyberspace after all is a "space" and SP a "site", both clearly environmental terms.

2) The games covered on SP could all be refered to as "virtual environments."

3) While "cloud" is often used to refer to something unorganized and diffused, this might also be a more medieval understanding of the term; today the complexity of weather systems are more and more understood: that is, ordered. What would the medieval mind make of the networked complexity of the internet, for example? Isn't chaos theory something that deals with weather as much as information? Is it not possible to refer to "data clouds"?

I submit to you the possibility that cloud-like powers Fel describes as pertaining to the Fairy or Cloud dragons might actually be an accurate description of Tal's "cyberspace mastery"!

Beware the Pink Dragon's Cloud of SPAM!!!

 

There are also pink diamonds (incredibly rare) and pink coral, but I was trying to incorporate the new "red" persona into the idea as well. I also figured I should start with the more "valuable" gems and jewels first before I got down to semi-precious and ornamental stones like quartz, so as to avoid offending our Grand Pubaa.

 

Tourmaline isnt very cheap if I remember correctly...

And Bion is now obsessed with spam... *rolls her eyes*

Gotta go to work, be back later!

 

The burly warrior charged towards the pink dragon, his battle axe swinging in a deadly arc. Suddendly, his axe stopped like if it had hit a wall. His arms went limp and the axe hit the floor with a loud clank. The warrior didn't care he had nearly severed his toes. He couldn't stop looking at the most lovely, little furry thing he had never seen before. He only wanted to hug it and pet it. He had fallen victim of the most dreaded weapon of the pink dragons: the Aura of Cuteness!.

Rhodochrosite (light pink): Ornamental (10gp base value)
Star Rose Quartz: Semi-Precious (50gp base value)
*Tourmaline (red): Fancy (100gp base value)
Pearl (rose): Fancy to Precious (100gp-500gp base value)
Fire Opal (fiery red): Gem (1,000gp base value)
*Ruby/Diamond: Jewel (5,000gp base value)

Tourmaline may not be cheap (100gp isn't something to laugh at), but rubies and diamonds are outright extravagant!

Consider also the five known gem dragon types (from strongest to weakest):
Amethyst: 100gp base (1,000 if it's oriental)
Sapphire: 1,000 gp base (5,000 if it's a star sapphire)
Emerald: 5,000gp base
Topaz: 500gp base
Crystal (Rock crystal): 50gp base

You guys -- Tal's dragon is NOT pink. I suggest you all get your eyes checked.

 

Okay folks. PDD and pink dragons can be evil and cute - succubus/incubus are prime examples of said combo. But remember; pink dragons might also be *stupid*. It's very possible they make white dragons look like PhDs.

As Tal is the only person who can confirm/deny the alignment and cuteness of a PDD, let's not get into a snipping contest over something that's not yet fact.

 

Guys, why are you trying to tie in 'Pink Dragon Disciple' with Tal - he merely bestowed this title upon -Bion-.

FWIW, I tend to agree with Fel on Tal's appearance, not the LE red dragon, but (N? LN?) ruby dragon.

Now, on the seperate subject of PDDs (and thus the pink dragons these characters are disciples thereof), I'd say a slight name modification is best - Pink Drake Disciple. A pink drake would be similar in size and temperment to a fairy dragon...further the aura of cuteness and candyfloss (cotton candy) breath weapon would make more sense. What - NG or CG? Heck, *I'd* wanna be a disciple of that sort of dragon!

 

Heresy!
Only the appointed prophet, Bion, shall speak about what the mighty pink dragon is, or is not! I will smite thee, infidels!

/me casts Destroy Knowledge about Jewels on Fellinoid
/me casts Pinkvision on Spellbound
/me casts Feeblemind on the female Swiss Army knife

Edit: Aha! I've been granted a pinkish jewel by the almighty pink dragon as recognition for my services.

 

*yawn* Hmm? Something do something to me? Spell immunity is a wonderful thing.

/me calls forth two succubi

Go get him, girls. Mwuhahaha!

 

Who's that?
