The dragon is true neutral and interested in the welfare of the forest above all else, though it does have a weakness for crafted jewelry of all types. The brown dragon can shapechange to a small mammal, lizard or bird once per day at its 2nd age level, twice at 4th, three times at 6th and 4 times at 8th. The shapechangeling can, at the very most, inflict 1-2 points of damage with claw, beak, bite, etc. However, the shapechangeling can have the dragon’s full hit points and full benefit of its normal saving throw.A brown dragon can attack with claw/claw/bite, or either of its two breath weapons, Faerie Fire and Lightning. The Faerie Fire covers an area of 6.x6. at a range up to 3. from the dragon’s mouth. Any in the fire are covered (no saving throw) for 4-80 turns and they also take the sum of the dragon’s age level and hit dice in damage unless a saving throw versus magic is made, in which case they take no damage. The Lightning is in a single bolt 8” long and ½” wide for full age times hit dice in damage, or ½ if a s.t. is made.Brown Dragons which speak and can cast spells use Druidic spells:Age Group / Spells castable per dayfirst / 2 first-level spellssecond / 2 first and 1 second-level spellthird / 2 first and 2 second-level spellsfourth / 2 first, 2 second and 1 third-level spellfifth / 2 first, second and third-level spellssixth / 3 first, second and 2 third-level spellsseventh / 3 first, second and third-level spellseighth / 3 first, second and third plus 1 fourth-level spellBrown dragons are 85% likely to be on friendly terms with Pixies, Sprites, Druids, Pseudo-dragons and Treants that live in the same forest or nearby.Originally appeared in Dragon Magazine #38 (1980).</blockquote>
