CHAPTER 3 DRACONIC MAGIC 78 the area of your breath weapon (typically to prevent it from affecting allies). These unaffected squares need not be adjacent to one another. You can choose to apply any one other breath effect that you know to the same breath weapon. SICKENING BREATH Minimum Level: 2nd Rather than dealing damage, your breath weapon sickens all creatures in its area for 2 rounds. A successful Fortitude save reduces the duration to 1 round. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. SLEEP BREATH Minimum Level: 10th Rather than dealing damage, your breath weapon puts all living creatures in its area to sleep for 1 round. Any creature that makes a successful Will save is instead exhausted for 1 round. Any creature whose Hit Dice exceeds your class level is unaffected by this breath weapon. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. SLOW BREATH Minimum Level: 5th Rather than dealing damage, your breath weapon slows all creatures in its area for 2 rounds. A successful Fortitude save reduces the duration to 1 round. A slowed creature can take a single move action or standard action each turn, but not both (nor can it take full-round actions). Additionally, it takes a –1 penalty to its Armor Class and on its attack rolls and Reflex saves. A slowed creature moves at half its normal speed (round down to the next 5-foot increment), which affects the creature’s jumping distance as normal for decreased speed. Multiple uses of this breath effect on the same creature don’t stack; use only the longer duration. Slow Breath suppresses any haste effect on creatures in its area for the duration of the slow effect. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. THUNDER BREATH Minimum Level: 10th Your breath weapon deals sonic damage instead of fire damage. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. WEAKENING BREATH Minimum Level: 5th Rather than dealing damage, your breath weapon imposes a –6 penalty to the Strength scores of all creatures in the area for 4 rounds. A successful Fortitude save reduces the duration to 2 rounds. You can apply this breath effect only to a cone-shaped breath weapon. DRACONIC INVOCATIONS The invocations available to dragonfire adepts (see page 24) are described in this section. The format for invocation descriptions is given below, followed by the lists of invocations available to dragonfire adepts. Name: The first line of every invocation description is a header that gives the name by which the invocation is generally known. Grade: The second line gives the grade of the invocation. Dragonfire adepts can choose invocations from four grades, depending on their class level: least, lesser, greater, and dark. Table 2–1: The Dragonfire Adept (page 25) shows when they gain access to each grade. Level Equivalent: On the same line as the grade is a spell level equivalent, which affects the Difficulty Class of the saving throw to resist the invocation, Concentration checks made in concert with the invocation, and interactions with other spells and abilities, such as a globe of invulnerability. Descriptive Text: The function and effect of the invocation is given in one or more paragraphs of descriptive text following all the particulars mentioned above. LEAST INVOCATIONS Aquatic Adaptation: Breathe and use breath weapon underwater; gain swim speed. Beguiling Influence: Gain bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks. Breath of the Night: Create a fog cloud as the spell. Darkness: Create darkness as the spell. Deafening Roar: Cone of sound deafens creatures. Draconic Knowledge: Gain bonus on Knowledge and Spellcraft checks. Endure Exposure: Use endure elements as the spell; target gains immunity to your breath weapon. Magic Insight: Detect magical auras; identify magic items. Scalding Gust: Use gust of wind as the spell; any creature in area takes fire damage equal to your level. See the Unseen: Gain darkvision; gain see invisibility as the spell. LESSER INVOCATIONS Charm: Cause a single creature to regard you as a friend. Draconic Flight: Sprout wings and fly at good maneuverability; fly longer overland. Energy Resistance: Gain resistance 10 to acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic damage.

Perilous Veil: Use veil as the spell; anyone succeeding on Will save to negate the illusion takes damage. INVOCATION DESCRIPTIONS The invocations described below are presented in alphabetical order. AQUATIC ADAPTATION Least; 2nd When you use this invocation, you gain the ability to breathe underwater. You also gain a swim speed equal to your base land speed. Your breath weapon functions normally underwater regardless of its effect. The invocation’s effect lasts 24 hours. AURA OF FLAME Greater; 6th You become wreathed in an aura of orange fire, which gives off light equivalent to a torch. Any creature striking you with a natural weapon or a nonreach melee weapon takes a number of points of fire damage equal to your caster level. If the attacker has spell resistance, it applies to this effect. BALEFUL GEAS Greater; 6th You place a magical command on a living creature to carry out a service or to refrain from an action or course of activity, as you desire. The creature’s Hit Dice must be no more than your class level. Twenty-four hours after the target becomes affected by this invocation, it takes 1d4 points of Strength damage; this damage repeats every 24 hours thereafter. If the target’s Strength is reduced to 0, the invocation immediately ends. Creatures immune to Strength damage instead take 2d4 points of damage every 24 hours. This invocation otherwise functions as the geas/quest spell (PH 234). BEGUILING INFLUENCE Least; 2nd You can invoke this ability to beguile and bewitch your foes. You gain a +6 bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks for 24 hours. BREATH OF THE NIGHT Least; 1st A misty cloud of fog spreads in a 20-foot radius around you, as the spell fog cloud (PH 232). The fog does not block line of sight, but all creatures in the fog have concealment. A moderate wind or any fire larger than a torch immediately disperses the fog. Otherwise, the fog disperses on its own after 1 minute. CHARM Lesser; 4th You can beguile a creature within 60 feet. The creature must succeed on a Will save or instantly regard you as its comrade. This is a language-dependent ability. Other than these differences, this ability works as the charm monster spell (PH 209). You can never have more than one target charmed at a time with this ability. If a second creature is charmed, you lose your hold on the first creature. CHILLING FOG Greater; 6th You create a cold magical fog, as the solid fog spell (PH 281). Each creature within the area takes 2d6 points of cold damage at the start of its turn. You can have only one chilling fog in place at a time; creating a second chilling fog automatically dismisses any chilling fog you previously created. DARKNESS Least; 2nd You can create magical darkness, as the darkness spell (PH 216). CHAPTER 3 DRACONIC MAGIC 79
