Nope, the psion sticks to its power list without swaps or trade in's. If it were the erudite variant psion, it could at least learn discipline powers through a ritual.

That looks good! I try not a create a new power whenever possible but in this case it's justified.

Ok, I found a telepathy power that leaves targets shaken, demoralize. We can write phobia amplification as a PLA based on it. I'll try to combine the wording of phobia amplification, demoralize, and primal fear. Phobia Amplification (Ps): A psionic spirit can reach into a creature's mind to...

I'll go for the power point drain and then the spirit gaining those pp; at most that will give the spirit 17 pp (for a 9th-level power). Makes it more terrifying for me. There's a fear spell, and a primal fear power in Complete Psionic which we can't use except as a variant rule. I also...

Contact is superfluous in 3.5 because telepathy powers reach their target without a need for initial connection. If we want to retain some flavor for 3.5, there are two possible ways I can see. One is to lengthen the manifesting time for telepathy powers, such as from a standard action to a...

Honestly, I feel too many psionic monsters specialize in telepathy. And since it is already undead, it has the edge I mentioned earlier with regard to mind-affecting effects. An incorporeal undead with the psychometabolism discipline sounds like a contradiction to me, so that leaves...

Here's the rule for negative levels on psionic characters: BTW, did we take into consideration the fact as an undead the spirit is immune to all mind-affecting effects, but can dish them out? This gives it an extra edge against other psionic monsters.

Agreed with freyar.

We can say that the target is confused as the spell; or better yet, name this after one of the two powers that cause confusion, id insinuation (temporary) and insanity (permanent), then just add the flavor text.

For the claw damage, we can use the claw damage at Colossal+ size (4d8 from 4d6) as listed in the advanced/epic dragon rules and Dracomicon. Dazzled for a successful save and blinded on a fail is a good match.

The yellow dragon from Dragon Compendium is serpentine and relatively weak and we definitely want it to be different from that physically. And the purple matches or exceeds the red IIRC. I'd say make them closer to silver and topaz (which are nearly identical stat-wise) in Str and Con so that...

Basically we exclude all vermin; for gaming purposes I think we can also exclude invertebrate animals and magical beasts (like the kraken). In-game I'd call them either "boneless" or "invertebrate", as long as the meaning is understood.

Silver Int and Cha are no problem; Wis needs does need to be lower (maybe all the way to a white's). You learn something new every day. B-) But now I wanna do a blond(e) dragon for April Fools, I really do. Like WotC's pink beholder and My Little Pony RPG some years back. :lol:

That conjures up visions of Magneto levitating the guard via the excess iron in his blood and then extracting it through his body, killing him. Imagine if this creature were capable of that.

In the back of my mind I was rooting for mustard too. But I was having fun with the blond(e) dragon; but like the pink dragon it's gonna be the butt of jokes with PC ribbing it having high Cha but low Int; and a mane of long, flexible hair-like spines around its head.

Did you wiki those names? ;) What about blond? :D Mustard seems a good name for a nasty dragon. Behavior-wise it's a very sociable dragon like the song and steel dragons of Faerûn, although it's unfriendly and ornery like the similarly colored topaz dragon. Surprisingly it seems to have a Sense...

I like Cleon's scaling breath weapon, and his domain choices.

Double-post. Might as well edit this to say that the opal dragon is one of three homebrew gem dragons that manifest powers subpsionically, using the subconscious (the others being jade and turquoise), with a carnelian dragon as Sardior's deputy to them (much like Gruaglathor of the ferrous...

Here's my opal dragon breath weapon verbatim. Good thing I brought my D&D flash drive along. ;) Breath Weapon (Su): An opal dragon has one breath weapon: a cone of multicolored light that works like the color spray spell except that it also causes hit point damage, even to sightless creatures.

Agree with Shade.
