During this time, the wearer of the relics is used as the basis of the Taumet's body, dying in the process. The Taumet takes some of the wearer's memories and alignment during its growth, always remaining evil, but taking the Lawful, Neutral or Chaotic attitude of its 'parent'. While the transformation takes place, the Taumet can attack and be attacked, as it grows in power and size:Round, AC, HD, Damage, SA/SD1&2, 5, 1, 1-4/1-4/1-6, Immune to attacks causing less than 4 points of damage3&4, 3, 3, 1-6/1-6/1-8, Immune to 1st level spells, +1 or better weapons to hit5&6, 1, 5, 1-6/1-6/2-12, Non-edged weapons cause half damage7, 0, 7, 1-6/1-6/2-16, Breath weapon usable, +2 or better weapons to hit8, -1, 9, 1-6/1-6/3-18, Immune to 2nd level spells and attacks causing less than 8 point of damage9, -2, 11, 1-8/1-8/3-24, +3 or better weapons to hit10, -3, 13, 1-8/1-8/3-30, Immuned to 3rd level spells11, -4, 15, 1-10/1-10/3-36, Spell use, immune to attacks causing less than 12 points of damage12, -5, 17, 1-10/1-10/4-40, Immune to 4th level spells and damage from non-edged weapons13, -6, 18, 1-12/1-12/5-50, +4 or better weapons to hitIf the Taumet suffers more than 40 points of damage in a single round during this period of growth, the process will be halted for that round, and in the early stages this will be sufficient to cause the Taumet to disassociate into its component relics.Like all normal dragons, the Taumet has a set number of hit points per hit dice, but this depends on the original wearer of the relics:Wearer; hp/HDMU or Illusionist; 4hpThief, assassin; 6hpCleric, monk, druid; 8hpFighter, ranger, paladin; 10hpThe Taumet can breath 3 times per day, but can choose what form this takes; either as a black, blue, green, red or white dragon. Once it has the use of spells, it can cast, once per day, those spells that the relics knew at the time of the transformation or 5 x 1st, 5 x 2nd, 5 x 3rd, 4 x 4th, 4 x 5th and 2 x 6th level spells as though it were a 13th level magic user.If the Taumet is reduced to zero hit points, it will not be killed, but forced to disassociate into its component relics and the withered remains of the original wearer. The relics cannot be destroyed except by the application of earth-shattering magic (depending upon individual DM's campaigns), but they can be kept separate to prevent the Taumet reforming around another wearer.</blockquote>
