Converting True Dragons

Plane shift and detect thoughts sound good. Sculpt sound also sounds like a must. Any other good sonic spells for this one?

shatter, shout, sound burst, song of discord, sympathetic vibration

So we have the 3e plane shift instead of the 2e blink, and the arcane sculpt sound for the psionic control sound. The former is an homage to gem dragons, and the latter makes it a bit more like the emerald dragon. Sounds good.

We have the plane shift in addition to the blink ability given to all neutral dragons.

Just looked up the sonic spells. I like song of discord for the flavor of this one. Any chance we could sneak wail of the banshee in also at great wyrm?

Well, it's not evil, but necromancy (death) seems a bit of a stretch, eh?

So...

detect thoughts (juvenile or older) at will?

shatter (adult or older) 3/day?

sculpt sound (old or older) 3/day?

song of discord (ancient or older) 3/day?

plane shift (great wyrm) at will?

About plane shift… it is Su for gem dragons but Sp for lung dragons. Since the jade dragon is an oriental relative of a gem dragon, which fits it better? And since it can already blink to the Ethereal Plane, should we restrict the planes it can shift to?

There's also shout and greater shout for sonic spells, BTW (the mountain landwyrm has the latter).

But I had a great name for it - Linnorm's lament

Hmmm...the gem dragons are limited to the Inner Planes, while the lung dragons are limited to the Spirit World. If we go the limiting route, I'd say both.

There's also shout and greater shout for sonic spells, BTW (the mountain landwyrm has the latter).

I thought they may be redundant with its sonic damage breath weapon. Thoughts?

'tis a good name. Maybe we can recycle it elsewhere.
