Description

Breath Weapon (Su): A cone of fire 60x60x60 feet long, every 1d4 rounds; damage 16d10, Reflex half DC 30.

Frightful Presence (Ex): The dragon can unsettle foes with its mere presence whenever it attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures with fewer than 28 Hit Dice (except for other dragons) within 240 feet of the dragon must succeed at a Will save (DC 29) to avoid this fear effect, and remain immune to that dragon's frightful presence for one day. On a failure, creatures with 4 or fewer HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds.

Spells: Knows and casts arcane spells as a sorcerer of level 11, gaining bonus spells for a high Charisma score. Can also cast cleric spells and those from the Chaos, Evil, and Fire domains as arcane spells.

Spell-Like Abilities: 8/day-locate object; 3/day-suggestion. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 11 level sorcerer (save DC 15 + spell level).

Immunities (Ex): All dragons are immune to sleep and paralysis effects. All red dragons are also immune to fire.

Fire Subtype (Ex): Fire immunity, double damage from cold except on a successful save.

Blindsight (Ex): Can ascertain creatures by nonvisual means (mostly hearing and scent, but also by noticing vibration and other environmental clues) with a range of 240 feet.

Keen Senses (Ex): Sees four times as well a human in low-light conditions and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision with a range of 800 feet.
