Converting True Dragons

[BOZ]

especially if the creature is immune to it.

Well, I don't think we've got a subtype for this one; what if we leave off an elemental subtype and immunities and grant immunity to disease and poison?

 

[Shade]

So...

No subtype?

water breathing like the black - yes?

Suggested SLAs: doom (juvenile), contagion (adult), stinking cloud (old), blight (ancient), repulsion or cloudkill (great wyrm)

Suggested Class Skills: Hide, Swim, Survial.

This all looks good to me. Cloudkill seems to fit the flavor of this one much more than repulsion, unless we think it's too similar to stinking cloud.

Update in Homebrews.

Let's revisit this:

Spit (Ex): Once per day, a marsh dragon can spit at one creature as a ranged touch attack. A successful spit attack deals 1d6 points of acid damage (Fort/Ref save DCx for half ?) and infects the target with marsh fever (no save because the spit is highly infectious).

How about acid damage equal to the normal damage dealt by the breath weapon? Do we want to stick with a save for half, despite the ranged touch attack which normally prevents a saving throw?

Let's get rid of the save for half. Breath weapon damage for the spit acid is probably ok, since it can only do this once a day.

You know, I've just been reading PH2, and maybe we should put in a sidebar that plague can substitute as an SLA if you use PH2. It really fits the flavor of this thing.

That's why I suggested it.

 

[freyar]

Well, excellent choice. I was way too worried about keeping core (how was I to know I'd get PH2 so soon? ). I do think a sidebar is better than as a regular SLA, though.

 

[Shade]

I'll add the sidebar on plague.
