Green/Yellow Dr should keep sting/acid bite in Dragon Form

Currently, Dragon Form suppresses both a green draconian's Stinger mutation and a yellow draconian's Acidic Bite. Since DF has been changed so that draconians retain their racial mutations (scales, breath weapon, resistances), it seems inconsistent that green and yellow draconians lose access to their racial auxiliary attacks.

Yellow dracs losing acidic saliva was reported and fixed a long time ago, nowadays they do have their bite in DF.
I assume greens don't keep the stinger because of the massive form change.

Maybe, but that seems like a pretty weak justification for making green draconians benefit less from DF than other colors (which they already do to a small extent, since the free rPois is redundant on them).

Acidic bite hasn't been suppressed for a while. Having green dracs keep the stinger seems fine too.

Re: Green/Yellow Dr should keep sting/acid bite in Dragon Fo

also, is it normal to have wands of polymorph instead dragon form you if you are a draconian? duvessa did that to me, but I could not reproduce.

Polymorph has a chance to give you dragon form. This is independent of species.

Yeah, being polymorphed into a dragon has like a 1% chance of happening (if that -- it might be even less), but it's always hilariously fun when it happens.

Most amusing Sigmund kill ever.
