Fire dragon breath (shifter)

Innate level: 9
Range: touch
Save: reflex 1/2
Spell resistance: no
Area of effect: 15 meter cone
Duration: instantaneous

Description: The dragon breathes fire dealing damage based on the dragon's age. The DC is 15 + (druid level + shifter level)/2 with a 4 point penalty if the dragon does not have 10 shifter levels.

Notes[]

  • This ability is intended for shifters in the ancient red dragon form of dragon shape.
  • The dragon's age is normally the sum of druid and shifter levels. If used by a creature with neither druid nor shifter levels, the age is character level, halved for player characters.
    • Under normal conditions, the minimum effective level for shifters is 15, while the minimum effective level for druids is 18.
  • The damage for each age category is given in the following table. (Aside from an anomaly at level 37 and a minimum of 1d10, the damage increases by 2d10 for every 3 levels past 10.) Four more dice are rolled if the caster has at least 10 shifter levels. (Italicized entries are not possible under standard circumstances.)

The levels for "wyrm" and beyond differ from the normal dragon breath determination.
  • Due to a bug, this breath cannot blast placeables or doors although it was intended to.
