Background

See Poresche's entry on the Dragonlance Lexicon.

**Poresche's abilities are that of a red dragon of twice his age. This change affects all of his special abilities (such as spells or breath weapon), AC, speed and ability scores but does not effect his HD, base attack, saves, skills or feats. Unlike other red dragons and due to the circumstances of his hatching, Poresche has a neutral alignment.
