	Ironically, the dray of both generations were actually playable, with stats given in City By The Silt Sea. In fact, although the 2nd generation dray were stated to average towards a Lawful Evil [[alignment]], PC versions could be of any environment, and 1st generation dray were actually predominantly Neutral (good, evil, lawful, chaotic) (and, again, PCs could be any alignment they pleased), with their racial fluff noting they are very honorable and never forget it when they are helped.		Ironically, the dray of both generations were actually playable, with stats given in City By The Silt Sea. In fact, although the 2nd generation dray were stated to average towards a Lawful Evil [[alignment]], PC versions could be of any environment, and 1st generation dray were actually predominantly Neutral (good, evil, lawful, chaotic) (and, again, PCs could be any alignment they pleased), with their racial fluff noting they are very honorable and never forget it when they are helped.

			It's also possible, in 2e, for [[human]] and [[half-elf]] characters to be subjected to the Dray Transformation ritual. The mechanics are sparse, such as how the stat and class adjustments must work, but this is what we ''do'' know: anyone subjected to this ritual '''will''' transform into a dray, with no saves allowed. Humans have a 90% chance to become a 2nd Gen Dray, and a 10% chance to become a 1st Gen Dray, whilst half-elves have a 75% chance of becoming 2nd Gen and a 25% chance of becoming a 1st Gen. Regardless of what form they take, the character must pass a System Shock test or die outright.

			Now, it's not examined what would happen if you subjected a [[Mul]] or [[Half-Giant]] to the ritual, because Dregoth and his 2nd gen dray believe only humans are "pure" enough to be ascended into dray and half-elves can pass for human a lot of the time so they have a chance of "sneaking into" this particular "honor". But, theoretically, if a mul or half-giant was subjected to the ritual, they'd probably have the same odds as a half-elf, or maybe a 50/50 chance of either generation. Or muls might have the 50/50 odds, because [[dwarf]] magic resistance, and half-giants just might not be susceptible due to the pronounced magic used to create them in the first place.

-The '''Dray''' are an obscure race from the [[Dark Sun]] setting, created by Dregoth, a Sorcerer-King turned [[Lich]] who was pissed that this interrupted his attempt to turn into an [[Athasian Dragon]] and wanted to find a way to complete the process. They appeared in the Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium Appendix II: Terrors of Tyr and in [[City by the Silt Sea]]. They were also to appear in Dregoth Ascending, but [[TSR]] going under made this idea a flop, although Athas.org ultimately pieced the adventure together for 3.5. Notably, the 4e version of ''[[Dark Sun]]'' just flat-out turned them into [[dragonborn]], though the actual similarities between the two are limited. They don't get a dragon's breath weapon, for instance, but do get infravision while dragonborn do not, and their ignorance of the outside world doesn't quite square with the dragonborns' History proficiency.

 There are two "generations" of dray, representing the first and second attempts that Dregoth made at engineering a new master race to replace humanity - long story short, although still a human supremacist, the Athasian Dragon transformation had convinced him that the true destiny of humanity was to turn into an entire race of dragons. Unfortunately, the process took two tries to get right, and so the first generation dray are all mutated in different, unstable ways. They do hold roughly to the template of the perfected 2nd generation dray - a 6-8ft tall, leanly muscular humanoid with a long neck, a draconic head with fangs, clawed digits, a whip-like tail and tough red scales, ultimately looking a lot like the heavily dragonified Sorcerer-King Nibenay, or a wingless version of Dregoth himself - but are prone to all manner of deformities, most notably patchwork spots of humanity (an arm that's human, human teeth instead of fangs, etc).
