Scalebanes are the most elite and powerful of the dragonspawn, and they represent a small fraction of dragonspawn society. These are the leaders, the most powerful spellcasters, and the elders of the dragonspawn race. While scalebanes were [[wyrmkin]] earlier in life, scalebanes are technically a different species, having been transformed by a complicated ritual similar to those undergone by dragons as they mature. Scalebanes are chosen from the best of the lesser ranks, those who demonstrate exceptional leadership as well as combat or magical abilities. While most scalebanes are intellectual, they still have large builds, powerfully built for combat, standing seven feet tall or just little under on average, and wear elaborate armor with dragon-crested helms that stand out from the rest their unit. Many scalebanes may also carry banners or other markings delineating their command. These banners represent their draconic patron or matron, such as [[Azuregos]] the [[Blue dragonflight|blue]] or [[Vaelastrasz]] the [[Red dragonflight|red]].

Scalebanes spend most of their time in combat commanding their units, but those with spellcaster abilities pepper their enemies with spells from a distance. If pressed, they fight fearlessly, but avoid melee combat because they know they are most effective in command positions. Scalebanes are clearly in control of a unit's movements and strategies. Scalebanes carry swords and shields, two-handed swords, or other impressive weapons, usually a greatsword. These weapons are always magical, retaining an enhancement and possibly an additional magical feature. A scalebane always has a secondary magic item: [[shield]], [[armor]], [[rod]], [[wand]], or another item used for the benefit of the entire squadron. They are considered the most adept followers of their [[dragon]] mentor and are looked on by other dragonspawn as [[acolyte]]s of the dragon's wisdom and prophets of the dragon's will. They are [[fighter]]s or [[sorcerer]]s, and sometimes [[rogue]]s and [[paladin]]s. Scalebanes are trained in the use of all martial weapons and all types of armor and shields.<ref>''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', 42</ref><ref>''[[Monster Guide]]'', 49</ref>
