Lightning dragon breath (shifter)

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

Description: The dragon breathes lightning 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 blue 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 1d8, the damage increases by 2d8 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.)
