half-dragon template
Hi, (probably the 9034884382 time one asks, but i could not find other posts related to this particular issue:
I created a half-elf / half-dragon pc
The half dragon should add a few things including the breath weapon. However, it is grayed out. Pre-requirements not met. I found in a message of 2009 that this was because of the character not having any HD (so the breath weapon automatically grayed out.)
I found this post:
http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboard...rRPG/rules/halfDragons&page=1&source=search#0 as an answer to the following question:
Upon reading the description of Half-Dragons I noticed the breath weapon is dependent upon racial HD. What about humans and other races that do not have racial HD? Do these just not get a breath weapon?
Races with no racial hit die are considered to have 1 HD, because that is the minimum any creature can have

"Correct;
a half-dragon with no racial HD would have a breath weapon that deals 1d6 points of damage. Not an awful lot, but this was a purposeful design choice because the flavor of a humanoid half-dragon isn't one that we at Paizo particularly like, and it's one that a LOT of our customers have expressed exasperation with. Primarily because back in the 3.5 days, half-dragon was probably THE most overused template of them all. We (Paizo and our readers) mostly got sick of them, causing the half-dragon to go on the LIST for the last 50 or so print issues of Dungeon. That meant that if someone put a half-dragon into an adventure, they had to have a GREAT reason and GREAT background for that half-dragon"
so are there other reasons why it isn't enabled?
and ofcourse: how do i enable it?
