It seems more like a construct with its mind-affecting immunity and freezing of its body when killed. It feeds off iron like a rust monster or rust dragon. Feeding off a living magnetic aura is new to me, how do we translate that in game terms? Sounds like it should affect the ki of creatures...

Hey guys, guess what? We have WiFi in our venue! ;) Taking Shade's suggestion, disguise self allows it to look like another (true) dragon of the same size while keeping its abilities; alter self allows it to look like any dragon (true or lesser) within size limits; then alternate form as other...

Chameleon dragon huh? Neat. Color spray breath weapon, just like my homebrew opal dragon's. Looks like we'll need a modifed alter self for it. And with that I'm off for an 12-day office trip north of the city for a workshop with the locals. I'll only be able to check in sporadically, if at...

CR 8-9; the shedu is 10 so it's still lower. Same languages for me.

I concur with any forests. It seems to be a generalist and goes for any area with mature-growth trees. The brown color allows it to hide close to the ground amongst the trunks of the trees.

Anyone remember if the druidic wurms of Dragon magazine had elemental subtypes? Because if not then this one probably doesn't need one either.

Since it spends more time in gaseous than compact form, we'd have to reverse the description of dust form/gaseous form as per Cleon's suggestion. I think we also need a change in size from Small to Tiny (6" diameter).

The creature that comes closest to it in earth/air nature is the dust mephit, and that has the Air subtype. Although both are neutral, the devil behaves a bit more impishly (pun intended). It has a gaseous form, and a compress ability (which we can adapt from the psionic power of the same name...

In 1e the shedu and lamassu were similar to one another, only that that former has psionics. It looks like a wingless shedu, and seems slightly less powerful as well. Just 1HD less than the lamassu. Off the top of my mind, most of those psi disciplines survive into 3e, just gotta see what mind...

Agreed. The 1 minute/age category hearkens to the 1 minute/level of the spell, right? I like that one better,

Oh right, good catch there. Spellcraft for me.

We now gave it a variable scent, class skills, domains, I think that's about it. Unless someone wants to add a sidebar about variant abilities or its relationship to say the also druidic wurms.

If we do decide to add cleric domains, Animal and Plant are the best fit.

Go ahead then.

That can work. There are dragons with breath weapons that have effects in succeeding rounds after the first, without having to use Metabreath feats.

Reflect attacks is also similar to the spell reflection of the morkoth.

The faerie fire spell only dimly illuminates the target without doing damage, right? Maybe nonlethal damage is appropriate, as I don't think the dragon really wants to kill the target with this breath since it can do it with its lightning breath.

We can give it a Cha boost, but still has a stiff and tight-lipped personality to me. ;)

Agree on the class skills.

Neat, one of the best alternate form/wildshape abilities for a dragon. Are we going to use its versatile wildshape ability to fill in for the lack of SLAs, as the original version didn't seem to have any.
