Usually they spend their (subjective) time in self-contemplation in the pocket realities that exist behind the event horizons of the black holes they so resemble, but once every few million years some cosmic cataclysm or similar event occurs which draw their attention to the universes they otherwise barely touch. Sometimes Singularity Dragons come into conflict with Time Lords or other similar Eternal beings their contemplations show them, but usually they are wise enough to find ways to avoid such confrontations since they are aware that their own power is far less than those great beings'.CombatA Singularity Dragon nearly always opens combat with a breath attack, in the hopes of consuming as much energy/levels from its opposition as possible and simultaneously inflating its own powers further. Such dragons prefer to use their breath more than any other weapon at their disposal, and will use other abilities largely in an effort to eliminate any resistance opponents may have against that attack. When fighting opponents who are somehow able to resist the breath weapon and its Dead Zone (resisting the one is usually not possible without resisting the other, as the dragon well knows), a Singularity Dragon will rely on using delaying tactics to give its Extra-Dimensional presence time to work. Once it is large enough relative to its opposition, the dragon can be confident of victory.Alter Reality (Su): Singularity Dragons can use their insanely powerful control over matter and energy to twist and warp reality into any desired form. Once per round, as a free action, a Singularity Dragon can duplicate any spell of a level equal to or less than its number of Automatic Metamagic Capacity feats + 9. This ability can even duplicate Epic spells of a DC up to the dragon's Spellcraft skill modifier + 20.Breath Weapon (Su): A Singularity Dragon's breath weapon is a cone of annihilation and consumption which sucks in life force and matter to fuel the dragon. This permanently annihilates a number of the victims' hit dice or levels, 24d20 + 1d20 per age category of the dragon, and the dragon gains a (unnamed) bonus on armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks), difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells), initiative, saving throws, and Spell Resistance, equal to the number of levels/HD annihilated this way. The bonus lasts one hour before fading away (leaving the dragon hungry for more). Annihilation permanently removes the victim's HD or levels: the lost HD or levels can only be restored by an appropriate infusion of experience points. Immunity to Energy Drain or level loss is not proof against this effect, but it provides partial protection: such creatures only lose half the rolled number on a failed save. All targets (&quot;immune&quot; or not) are allowed a Reflex save against the breath weapon, and if successful lose only half the indicated number of levels (or one quarter for those with Energy Drain immunity).Damage Reduction (Ex): A Singularity Dragon's Damage Reduction is only penetrated by weapons made of antimatter.Dead Zone (Su): Singularity Dragons, by their very nature, suck in all matter and energy near them. This creates an area of Dead Magic around the dragon that extends to a radius of 3500 feet plus 500 feet per age category. This area of Dead Magic is not &quot;true&quot; Dead Magic, in that it is really an effect of the dragon sucking in all magical force near itself; therefore, the dragon's own spells and supernatural abilities are completely unaffected. Beings with a Divine bonus equal to or higher than that of the dragon are able to resist its pull enough to continue using their own spells and supernatural abilities without interference, though they must still contend with the dragon's normal immunities (for example, to all sub-Epic magic).Divine Bonus (Su): Singularity Dragons use the matter and energy they consume to fuel their own transcendence and spiritual growth. A Singularity Dragon gains a divine bonus to: armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks), difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, or spells), initiative, saving throws, and Spell Resistance. The value of this bonus is equal to 48 + 16/age category of the dragon.Extra-Dimensional (Ex): Starting after the first round it is encountered, a Singularity Dragon begins to expand to fill its opponents' perception of their universe. This bestows an additional Virtual Size Category each round on the dragon.Energy Absorption (Ex): Singularity Dragons are healed by Sonic attacks.Energy Immunity (Ex): Singularity Dragons are immune to Fire-based effects.Energy Reflection (Ex): Singularity Dragons reflect Acid attacks.Gravitic Mastery (Ex): Singularity Dragons are among the most powerful gravitational sources in any universe they enter. A Singularity Dragon gains a gravitic mastery bonus to: armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks), difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, or spells), initiative, saving throws, and Spell Resistance. The value of this bonus is equal to 48 + 16/age category of the dragon.Mind Warp (Ex): The Singularity Dragon's all-consuming presence can pull in even the thoughts of creatures that get too close to it. This presence extends to 2560 feet per age category of the dragon. Creatures within this radius failing their Will saves against the listed DC go permanently insane; their minds are no longer able to comprehend or perceive anything but the dragon itself as they fall to their doom in its maw.Transdimensional Fortitude &amp; Reflexes (Su): Singularity Dragons exist between the dimensions of Spirit and Matter. They never fail Fortitude or Reflex saving throws.Adventure Ideas:Low-Cosmic: Rumors reach you of a city, somehow suspended inside a Singularity Dragon, populated by beings who survived being swallowed by its vast maw.Mid-Cosmic: A Singularity Dragon loses its ability to use its breath weapon, and realizes that this is because the power has been stolen by another entity using it as a shortcut to transcendence. Can it reclaim the stolen power? A more interesting question may be, should it be allowed to?High Cosmic: A Great Wyrm Singularity Dragon begins hunting and eating others of its own kind, for reasons known only to itself; others scattered across the universe begin to gather/mobilize for war.That's my version of the Black Hole Dragon. It's a truly nasty customer, though it does bear an uncomfortable resemblance to the Void Dragon (given what concepts the two are tied to, I suppose this was inevitable). I hope I've made it different enough to be interesting- the idea that the dragon's hunger (gained from Matter) is used to fuel its own growth (from Spirit) was a great hook to hang abilities on, I thought. UK chose those dimensional associations very well.Quasar Dragon coming up next.</blockquote>

of base flesh and enlightened transcendence into a nightmarish whole that simply consumes everything it comes across to fuel its own monstrous growth. Usually they spend their (subjective) time in self-contemplation in the pocket realities that exist behind the event horizons of the black holes they so resemble, but once every few million years some cosmic cataclysm or similar event occurs which draw their attention to the universes they otherwise barely touch. Sometimes Singularity Dragons come into conflict with Time Lords or other similar Eternal beings their contemplations show them, but usually they are wise enough to find ways to avoid such confrontations since they are aware that their own power is far less than those great beings'. [B][SIZE=3]Combat[/SIZE][/B] A Singularity Dragon nearly always opens combat with a breath attack, in the hopes of consuming as much energy/levels from its opposition as possible and simultaneously inflating its own powers further. Such dragons prefer to use their breath more than any other weapon at their disposal, and will use other abilities largely in an effort to eliminate any resistance opponents may have against that attack. When fighting opponents who are somehow able to resist the breath weapon and its Dead Zone (resisting the one is usually not possible without resisting the other, as the dragon well knows), a Singularity Dragon will rely on using delaying tactics to give its Extra-Dimensional presence time to work. Once it is large enough relative to its opposition, the dragon can be confident of victory. [B]Alter Reality (Su):[/B] Singularity Dragons can use their insanely powerful control over matter and energy to twist and warp reality into any desired form. Once per round, as a free action, a Singularity Dragon can duplicate any spell of a level equal to or less than its number of Automatic Metamagic Capacity feats + 9. This ability can even duplicate Epic spells of a DC up to the dragon's Spellcraft skill modifier + 20. [B]Breath Weapon (Su):[/B] A Singularity Dragon's breath weapon is a cone of annihilation and consumption which sucks in life force and matter to fuel the dragon. This permanently annihilates a number of the victims' hit dice or levels, 24d20 + 1d20 per age category of the dragon, and the dragon gains a (unnamed) bonus on armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks), difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells), initiative, saving throws, and Spell Resistance, equal to the number of levels/HD annihilated this way. The bonus lasts one hour before fading away (leaving the dragon hungry for more). Annihilation permanently removes the victim's HD or levels: the lost HD or levels can only be restored by an appropriate infusion of experience points. Immunity to Energy Drain or level loss is not proof against this effect, but it provides partial protection: such creatures only lose half the rolled number on a failed save. All targets ("immune" or not) are allowed a Reflex save against the breath weapon, and if successful lose only half the indicated number of levels (or one quarter for those with Energy Drain immunity). [B]Damage Reduction (Ex):[/B] A Singularity Dragon's Damage Reduction is only penetrated by weapons made of antimatter. [B]Dead Zone (Su):[/B] Singularity Dragons, by their very nature, suck in all matter and energy near them. This creates an area of Dead Magic around the dragon that extends to a radius of 3500 feet plus 500 feet per age category. This area of Dead Magic is not "true" Dead Magic, in that it is really an effect of the dragon sucking in all magical force near itself; therefore, the dragon's own spells and supernatural abilities are completely unaffected. Beings with a Divine bonus equal to or higher than that of the dragon are able to resist its pull enough to continue using their own spells and supernatural abilities without interference, though they must still contend with the dragon's normal immunities (for example, to all sub-Epic magic). [B]Divine Bonus (Su):[/B] Singularity Dragons use the matter and energy they consume to fuel their own transcendence and spiritual growth. A Singularity Dragon gains a divine bonus to: armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks), difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, or spells), initiative, saving throws, and Spell Resistance. The value of this bonus is equal to 48 + 16/age category of the dragon. [B]Extra-Dimensional (Ex):[/B] Starting after the first round it is encountered, a Singularity Dragon begins to expand to fill its opponents' perception of their universe. This bestows an additional Virtual Size Category each round on the dragon. [B]Energy Absorption (Ex):[/B] Singularity Dragons are healed by Sonic attacks. [B]Energy Immunity (Ex):[/B] Singularity Dragons are immune to Fire-based effects. [B]Energy Reflection (Ex):[/B] Singularity Dragons reflect Acid attacks. [B]Gravitic Mastery (Ex):[/B] Singularity Dragons are among the most powerful gravitational sources in any universe they enter. A Singularity Dragon gains a gravitic mastery bonus to: armor class, attack rolls, checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks), difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, or spells), initiative, saving throws, and Spell Resistance. The value of this bonus is equal to 48 + 16/age category of the dragon. [B]Mind Warp (Ex):[/B] The Singularity Dragon's all-consuming presence can pull in even the thoughts of creatures that get too close to it. This presence extends to 2560 feet per age category of the dragon. Creatures within this radius failing their Will saves against the listed DC go permanently insane; their minds are no longer able to comprehend or perceive anything but the dragon itself as they fall to their doom in its maw. [B]Transdimensional Fortitude & Reflexes (Su):[/B] Singularity Dragons exist between the dimensions of Spirit and Matter. They never fail Fortitude or Reflex saving throws. Adventure Ideas: [B]Low-Cosmic:[/B] Rumors reach you of a city, somehow suspended inside a Singularity Dragon, populated by beings who survived being swallowed by its vast maw. [B]Mid-Cosmic:[/B] A Singularity Dragon loses its ability to use its breath weapon, and realizes that this is because the power has been stolen by another entity using it as a shortcut to transcendence. Can it reclaim the stolen power? A more interesting question may be, should it be allowed to? [B]High Cosmic:[/B] A Great Wyrm Singularity Dragon begins hunting and eating others of its own kind, for reasons known only to itself; others scattered across the universe begin to gather/mobilize for war. That's my version of the Black Hole Dragon. It's a truly nasty customer, though it [B]does[/B] bear an uncomfortable resemblance to the Void Dragon (given what concepts the two are tied to, I suppose this was inevitable). I hope I've made it different enough to be interesting- the idea that the dragon's hunger (gained from Matter) is used to fuel its own growth (from Spirit) was a great hook to hang abilities on, I thought. UK chose those dimensional associations very well. Quasar Dragon coming up next. [/QUOTE]
