Benefit
You gain the dragonblood subtype. Choose one kind of dragon from the list in the table below. This is your draconic heritage, which cannot later be changed unless you undergo the Rite of Draconic Affinity (see page 59 of Races of the Dragon). Half-dragons must choose the same dragon kind as their dragon parent. When you declare your draconic heritage, you gain a bonus on saving throws against magic sleep and paralysis effects, as well as on saves against spells and abilities with a descriptor that matches the corresponding energy type. This bonus equals the number of draconic feats you have. In addition, you gain the corresponding skill as a sorcerer class skill.
| Dragon Kind | Energy Type | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Acid | Hide |
| Blue | Electricity | Listen |
| Green | Acid | Move Silently |
| Red | Fire | Intimidate |
| White | Cold | Balance |
| Brass | Fire | Gather Information |
| Bronze | Electricity | Survival |
| Copper | Acid | Hide |
| Gold | Fire | Heal |
| Silver | Cold | Disguise |
Special
With your DM's permission, you can choose a draconic heritage associated with a kind of dragon not found in the Monster Manual. For details and more options, see Draconic Heritage, page 102 of Races of the Dragon.
