Action
Acid Breath (Recharge 5-6)
The dragon exhales acid in a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 54 (12d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Frightful Presence
Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Special
Behaviour
Chaotic dragons usually try to eat humans, but may sometimes capture them. Neutral dragons may attack or ignore humans. Lawful dragons may aid parties worthy of the honour.
Special
Pride
Dragons are immensely proud creatures and will always listen to flattery.
Special
Attack pattern
A dragon always attacks first with its breath weapon, then either breathes again or makes melee attacks (equal chance of either).
Special
Breath weapon
Can be used up to three times per day. All caught in the area suffer damage equal to the dragon's current hit points (save versus breath for half). Shapes of breath weapon:
Special
Cloud
50' long, 40' wide, 20' high.
Special
Cone
2' wide at the mouth, 30' wide at far end.
Special
Line
5' wide along whole length.
Special
Energy immunity
Unharmed by their own breath weapon or lesser versions thereof. Automatically save versus similar attack forms. (For example, a red dragon is immune to flaming oil and suffers half damage from fire ball spells.)
Special
Language and spells
Some dragons are able to speak (their own tongue plus Common). The chance is listed by subspecies. Those that can speak can also cast randomly selected magic-user spells (the listed number and level of spells).
Special
Sleeping
The chance of a dragon being asleep when encountered on the ground is listed by subspecies. A sleeping dragon may be attacked for one round with a +2 bonus to hit. Dragons may sometimes pretend to be asleep!
Special
Subduing
Will surrender if reduced to 0hp by non-lethal attacks (see Subduing), admitting that it has been defeated. (Subdual damage does not reduce the damage done by the breath weapon.) A subdued dragon will attempt to escape or attack its captors, if the opportunity presents itself or if given a suicidal command. A subdued dragon may be sold for up to 1,000gp per hp.
Special
Age
The following stats describe dragons of average size. Younger dragons may have up to 3 HD less and ¼ or ½ as much treasure. Older dragons may have up to 3 HD more and twice as much treasure.
Special
Lairs
A dragon's treasure is always kept in its well-hidden lair and is seldom unguarded.
Special
Breath weapon
60' long line of acid.
Special
Language and spells
20%; 4 * 1st level.
Special
Sleeping
40%.

Ability
Breath Weapon
(acid, arcane, evocation) The dragon breathes a spray of acid that deals 12d6 acid damage in an 80-foot line (DC 30 basic Reflex save). It can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Ability
Corrupt Water
Frequency: Once per day
Effect: The dragon permanently befouls 10 cubic feet of liquid within 90 feet. The liquid becomes undrinkable and unable to support water-breathing life. This destroys liquid magic or alchemical items if they're of a lower level than the dragon (a creature can attempt a DC 28 Will save to protect liquids in its possession). This doesn't affect liquids in a creature's body.
Ability
Draconic Frenzy
The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one horns Strike in any order.
Ability
Draconic Momentum
The dragon recharges its Breath Weapon whenever it scores a critical hit with a Strike.

Trait
Amphibious
