CHAPTER 3 DRACONIC MAGIC 76 Illus. by W. England bonus on Bluff and Sense Motive checks and resistance to sonic 20. If you spend an additional 8 power points, you instead draw upon the abilities of topaz dragons (Monster Manual II 85). Instead of gaining the abilities noted above, you gain a +10 competence bonus on Intimidate and Swim checks and resistance to cold 30. You also gain the ability to breathe water (as if under the effect of a water breathing spell). CRYSTAL BODY Metacreativity (Creation) Level: Psion/wilder 5 Display: Auditory Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level (D) Power Points: 13 You visualize your heart pumping blood through your body, then slowing, then stopping, and finally turning into a cut diamond. You channel energy into that diamond, feeling a cool shiver as your body turns to clear, hard crystal. Upon manifesting this power, your body turns into living crystal, which grants you the following resistances and abilities. • You gain damage reduction 5/ adamantine. • You gain immunity to blindness, critical hits, ability score damage, deafness, disease, drowning, electricity, poison, stunning, sleep and paralysis effects, and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology or respiration (because you have no physiology or respiration while crystal body is in effect). • You take only half damage from acid, cold and sonic attacks. • Your unarmed attacks deal slashing damage equal to a short sword sized for you (1d4 points for Small characters or 1d6 for Medium characters), and you are considered armed when making unarmed attacks. You also gain the following vulnerabilities and conditions: • You become vulnerable to all special attacks that affect crystalline creatures. • You cannot drink (and thus can’t use potions) or play wind instruments. • Your weight increases by a factor of five, causing you to sink in water like a stone. However, you could survive the crushing pressure and lack of air at the bottom of the ocean—at least until the duration of crystal body expires. What a brass dragon looks like eye to eye GEMSTONE BREATH Psychokinesis Level: Psion/wilder 4 Display: Auditory Manifesting Time: 1 swift action Range: 30 ft. or 60 ft. Area: Cone-shaped burst or lineshaped burst; see text Duration: 1 round/level or until expended Saving Throw: See text Power Resistance: Yes Power Points: 7 You channel mental power into your lungs, feeling it swirl and radiate as you transform the air inside you into a powerful psionic force, struggling to burst forth from your lips. Upon manifesting this power, you gain a breath weapon similar to that of a crystal dragon (Monster Manual II 81)—a 30-foot cone of brilliant light that deals 2d6 points of damage and blinds each creature within its area for 1 round. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates the blinding effect. You can use this breath weapon as a standard action, but you can’t use it in consecutive rounds. Once you have used the breath weapon a number of times equal to 1/2 your manifester level, the power is expended. Augment: If you spend an additional 2 power points, you instead gain a breath weapon similar to that of a sapphire dragon (Monster Manual II 84), and the save DC increases by 1. This breath weapon takes the form of a 30- foot cone that deals 4d6 points of sonic damage and renders each creature within its area shaken for 1 round. A successful Reflex save halves the damage, and a successful Will save negates the shaken effect. If you spend an additional 4 power points, you instead gain a breath weapon similar to that of an amethyst dragon (Monster Manual II 79), and the save DC increases by 2. This breath weapon takes the form of a 60-foot line that deals 6d6 points of damage. The breath weapon is a force effect. A successful Reflex save halves the damage. If you spend an additional 6 power points, you instead gain a breath weapon similar to that of an emerald dragon (Monster Manual II 82), and the save DC increases by 3. This breath weapon takes the form of a 30-foot cone that deals 8d6 points of sonic damage and deafens each creature within the area for 1 minute. A successful Reflex save halves the damage, and a successful Fortitude save negates the deafness. If you spend an additional 8 power points, you instead gain a breath weapon similar to that of a topaz dragon (Monster Manual II 85), and the save DC increases by 4. This breath weapon takes the form of a 30-foot cone that dehydrates living creatures within the area, dealing 10d6 points of damage. A successful Reflex save halves the damage.
DRAGONFIRE ADEPT BREATH EFFECTS The breath effects available to dragonfire adepts (see page 24) are described below. Each description starts with the minimum level at which the breath effect can be selected. ACID BREATH Minimum Level: 5th Your breath weapon deals acid damage instead of fire damage. CLOUD BREATH Minimum Level: 10th Your breath weapon takes the form of a 20-foot-radius spread, centered on you. You can choose to apply any one other breath effect that you know to the same breath weapon, as long as it can be applied to a cone-shaped breath weapon. For example, you could create a cloud of cold (with Frost Breath) or sleep (with Sleep Breath), but not a cloud of lightning or force. DISCORPORATING BREATH OF BAHAMUT Minimum Level: 15th Your breath weapon loses its normal energy type and becomes a blue-white line of pure energy. This breath effect doubles the number of dice of damage normally dealt by your breath weapon (for example, from 7d6 to 14d6). In addition, any creature that is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by the breath weapon is disintegrated (as the disintegrate spell). A successful Fortitude save halves the damage dealt. Unlike disintegrate, this breath effect has no effect on objects, even those made of force. When you use Discorporating Breath of Bahamut, you also take a number of points of damage equal to twice your class level, which can’t be lessened by damage reduction or any similar benefit. A non-good dragonfire adept instead takes damage equal to four times her class level. You can apply this breath effect only to a line-shaped breath weapon. You must have a non-evil alignment to learn or use this invocation. ENDURING BREATH Minimum Level: 10th Your breath weapon deals damage over 2 consecutive rounds. When you use Enduring Breath, the target takes the normal amount of damage from your breath weapon. In the next round, the same target takes half that amount of damage. For example, a creature that takes 22 points of damage from your breath weapon’s initial use takes 11 more points of damage in the next round. A creature that takes no damage from the initial use (whether because of evasion, resistance, immunity, or any other reason) also takes no damage in the next round. No save is allowed against this damage. FIVEFOLD BREATH OF TIAMAT Minimum Level: 15th As a full-round action, you create five different breath weapons simultaneously: a cone of acid, a cone of cold, a cone of fire, a line of acid, and a line of electricity. Each breath weapon deals damage equal to your normal breath weapon damage, and each one allows a Reflex save to halve the damage dealt. When you use this breath effect, you also take a number of points of damage equal to twice your class level, which can’t be lessened by damage reduction or any similar benefit. A non-evil dragonfire adept instead takes damage equal to four times her class level. In addition, you can’t use any breath weapon in the round following the one in which you apply this breath effect. You must have a non-good alignment to learn or use this invocation. FORCE BREATH Minimum Level: 15th Your breath weapon becomes a force effect. Its damage has no energy type, but it affects incorporeal creatures normally. You can apply this breath effect only to a line-shaped breath weapon. FROST BREATH Minimum Level: 2nd Your breath weapon deals cold damage instead of fire damage. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. LIGHTNING BREATH Minimum Level: 2nd Your breath weapon deals electricity damage instead of fire damage. You can apply this breath effect only to a line-shaped breath weapon. PARALYZING BREATH Minimum Level: 15th Rather than dealing damage, your breath weapon paralyzes all creatures in its area for 1 round. A successful Fortitude save negates this effect. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. SHAPED BREATH Minimum Level: 5th You can choose to leave up to 4 squares within the area of your breath weapon unaffected by the breath weapon. Effectively, you create one or more small “safe zones” within CHAPTER 3 DRACONIC MAGIC 77
