Converting True Dragons

[RavinRay]

Dragon Magic has these variant SLA's for green dragons: entangle (adult), commune with nature (old), and acid fog (ancient). The first two seem suited for the jade. Or maybe one of the hold enchantment spells.

Great suggestions! So maybe...

3/day—entangle (adult or older), greater command (ancient or older); 1/day— commune with nature (old or older), hold monster (great wyrm).

Looks good to me.

Those look good to me.

Since they're "among the most conversational and least hostile" of dragons, wouldn't it make sense to give them a few social skills as class skills?

Bluff, Diplomacy or Sense Motive would seem to be most appropriate. A "least hostile" dragon would be unlikely to invest many ranks in Intimidate!

 

[RavinRay]

Good choice for class skills.

 

[freyar]

All true dragons get Diplomacy and Sense Motive. As for Bluff, I'd be ok with swapping Survival for that.

*Can also cast cleric spells and those from the x, x, and x domains as arcane spells.

Charm, Knowledge, Plant?

 

[freyar]

Agreed. There's a green dragon in water breathing.

Read my mind like a psion. No dragon's ever used Plant, the bronze has Animal.

Cool, I've been trying to manifest my powers for years.

Updated.

At a distance of 120 feet or more, it cannot be distinguished from a green dragon. (An expert viewer might notice that the jade dragon is somewhat smaller than its green cousin, more heavyset, with a thicker and shorter tail, however.) At closer range the dragon’s translucent scales shimmer and sparkle in the light, reveahg the mighty reptile‘s true nature.

Do we need something like this?

Camouflage (Ex): Since an onyx dragon looks like a black dragon in areas of shadowy illumination or darkness, it takes a DC 20 Spot check to notice its true nature. Anyone with ranks in Knowledge (arcana) can use that skill instead of Spot to notice the difference. Because the resemblence is only visual, creatures with the scent ability automatically notice the difference.
