Description
Presenting, Turtle's L'il Dragon Race!
This mod adds a new playable dragon race, made possible with MrPlague's Authentic Races.
Brought into the world of Terraria as mere statues... they're now ready to break free!

These dragons are small and have lost their magical abilities, but can regain them through various items!
With their bulky frame, this race trades speed for great durability.


***** Main Traits *****
+ 30% increased max health
+ 5 increased defence
+ 10% increased damage reduction
- 20% reduced speed (affects accessory speed changes, too)
- Reduced jump force

***** Other Traits *****
+ Improved acceleration.
+ Faster top speed while flying.
~ Non-minecart mounts act like transformations, hiding your character. Items can still be used.
- Wider hitbox. You can still fit into a 2 block gap. Hitbox is reverted to normal while mounted.
- Starts petrified for a few seconds, but only once (this is just for flavour!)
* Crouch by holding DOWN.
* Can be mounted by others, granting resistance to the rider.

***** About Mounting *****
To mount a dragon, [INTERACT] with them while nearby. Press [JUMP], or [INTERACT] with the player again to dismount.
Server configs exist to change restrictions on mounting and other related behaviours.
Riders get 50% final damage reduction by default. Players can kick riders off by [INTERACT]ing with them.
You can also craft a Bridle at a Loom with 3 Silk and 50 Rope. While in your inventory, the bridle lets riders control your movements.
In order to dismount a bridled player, you must [INTERACT] with them. Using [JUMP] will simply make the mounted player jump.
Also, mountable players can 'pick up' others by [INTERACT]ing with them! Players can disable being picked up in their client config if desired.

***** About Elemental Breath *****
First, make the Dragon Breath Bench with 10 obsidian! You then need 3 of either Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz or Emerald gems to craft a Breath Gem of the appropriate element.
After using a Breath Gem, your dragon will now be able to use elemental breath!

Craft Breath Power Gems using milestone materials (eg. Demonite/Crimtane) to raise the breath attack damage.
Using the same Breath Power Gem twice has no effect, so you'll need to make stronger power gems to boost your breath attack further.

Once unlocked, use elemental breath by holding [PRIMARY RACIAL SKILL], Z by default.
Using elemental breath for too long will exhaust the dragon, causing breath attacks to become weaker.
Keep an eye on the breath meter!

As a bonus - Craft the Affinity Gem using one of each breath gem type and a Golden Key!
When used, toggles if your dragon receives special benefits based on your active breath type.
Please check the description for each Breath Gem item and server configs ingame for more details.

***** Summoning Flute *****
Make a Summoning Flute at an Anvil with 3 Amethysts and 5 Gold/Platinum Bars!
You can assign your name to the flute by right clicking on it in your inventory. After that, give it to another player, and they can use the flute to teleport you to them! It will also try to mount players after teleporting.

***** About Dragon Pedestals *****
You can craft pedestals for the dragon to pose on as a statue.
A Heavy Workbench and 15 (for a small pedestal) or 30 (for a big pedestal) Stone blocks are required to craft pedestals.
Pedestals act as a bed and can be used even outside of a valid room, allowing you to set your spawnpoint and pass time quickly.
There are also variants for various materials!

***** Custom Vanities *****
Dragons can make a special Dragon Vanity Bench with 10 wood.
The bench can be used to craft a variety of items made to fit on dragons! More are being added with time.
When crafting items that take a vanilla item and turn it into a dragon-compatible version of the same, the materials will not be consumed!
There's also a money pile you can make here which the dragon can sit on.
You can also make 'Stone Claw' type items, which are consumables that change how your dragon looks when petrified. Various materials are supported.
Craft them at a Workbench with 1 of their respective material.

***** Additional Notes *****
- Highly configurable. Want dragons that are fireproof? Hydrophobic? Slower? Faster? We've got that and more.
- Wings are not innate! You still need to get wings normally, but a new set of wings just for dragons can be made with a Lucky Horseshoe and 10 Feathers at an Anvil (can be modified by server config).
- Some accessory layers are hidden, as they don't fit properly.
- Leg and torso armour won't show unless it's specifically made for dragons.
- Need to use pedestals without setting spawn or passing time? Make the Inner Essence item using 5 Fallen Stars at a workbench!
- This race and other races built on this codebase can hop slightly while petrified. This can be disabled in the server config.
- This mod acts as a library for other similar mods that I make and is often a dependency for that reason.
- There are probably some other goodies in this mod I forgot to mention here... I suggest using a recipe browsing mod to see everything!
- Also fixes a few bugs present in MrPlague's Authentic Races, such as server-sided (and doubled-up) hurt sounds, the stat tooltip on the race select screen being stuck in the top left corner of the screen, and some under-the-hood stuff so all of my whacky races render properly on the race select screen.

Very well then, too be fair I didn't really venture into hard mode with this mod, so I don't know how crazy the breathes get, going forward.

That being said, some breathes do seem to be more useful then others.

The Ice variant in particular with it's ability to slow anything, even bosses down, I find to be significantly more powerful then electric breath, which deals a lot of damage, and has range, to be sure.

I don't really have much to say about the other breathes at all, other than I seem to recall the Poison breath having ridiculous knockback, which made it a little awkward to use.
Turtleren  [author] 12 Oct @ 10:26pm 
The intention wasn't really to have players swapping between each of the breath types on the go, especially considering the Affinity system and the downsides associated with each breath type.

That being said, you can still use breath gems to swap your breath type on the fly. There's an obvious cost associated with crafting the gem, but it *is* something you can do.
I probably won't be adding a separate system for swapping breath types.
Bullitt 12 Oct @ 10:16pm 
I really like the idea of this mod, though I do kind of wish there was an item or something that allowed you to switch between breath types on the fly.

Idk, maybe TLOS games have spoiled me, but it would be a nice, and convenient thing to have as something to be obtained later in progression? Maybe?

I know Hermes doesn't work, was actually part of the reason I asked because I didn't notice a difference with it. But I appreciate the answers a lot! I might see about turning that scaling on, because also playing with Calamity and that stuff can get NUTS.
Turtleren  [author] 6 Oct @ 4:25am 
Some of those details aren't really explained, so I'll answer them here for ya:

1. Breath damage doesn't scale with damage types, including generic damage boosts (eg. +10% Damage). The same applies to crit bonuses; breath attacks have 0% crit.
There's a config to enable scaling under L'il Common Config - Server -> Breath Attack -> Breath Scales With Damage Type, but the mod is balanced for having this disabled.

2. You can only have one breath at a time. Using a new gem will override the previous one (but you will keep Breath Power Gem or Affinity Gem bonuses)

3. Hermes is a good start for top speeds. Food helps with acceleration, and an item like the Soaring Insignia helps a lot with mobility, too. The Swiftness Potion's buff works, too. Interestingly, Magiluminescence does not work.
I don't have an exhaustive list, but those are some examples you can try. If it affects your speed or acceleration in the air, it should also work for the hover wings.
Marat 5 Oct @ 10:40pm 
I don't know if this was said anywhere, but had a few questions. One, is the breath weapon damage based on any of the damage types, like melee and such? Two, if I were to use the fire breath gem but then use a lightning one, does the lightning one override the fire one? That is, can you only have one active at a time. And three, this is more cause I'm not sure how things interact in game, but what all would effect the flying speed while using the hovering dragon wings?

I do love the mod a lot, and I appreciate you reading my comment here!
Turtleren  [author] 28 Sep @ 4:20pm 
I would suggest using a mod like Recipe Browser to check all of the items available! For easy reference though, here's a list supported by pretty much all of my races: Stone, Marble, Gold, Granite, Ice, Ruby, Amber, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, Diamond.
There's also a secret one available only to the dragons... try throwing the Stone claw into shimmer ;)
