[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7504490, member: 57383"] I wasn't 100% sure of the wording for the "wait 1 minute before reusing a breath weapon" bit so the Working Draft includes an alternative version. I included a rough draft of an Alternate Form ability and added "greater spell invulnerability" for the immunity to 0-6th level spells, but notice the 3E [I]Manual of the Planes[/I] has something similar in his immunities: [B]Immunities (Ex):[/B] Bahamut is immune to acid, cold, electricity, fire poison, sleep, and paralysis effects. Bahamut ignores the effects of spells and spell-like abilities of 5th level or less, just as if the spellcaster had failed to overcome Bahamut’s spell resistance. Perhaps use that wording instead, except "6th level or less"? While whipping up the stats, I also remembered a few things worth adding. Shouldn't this dragon have a Swim Speed and [I]water breathing[/I] (of the "can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath weapon, spells, and other abilities while submerged" variety? Bahamut, Gold and White Dragons have Swim 60 ft. with their [I]water breathing[/I], so that'll probably do. We could also give her a Burrow speed of 30 ft. like the Brass Dragon and White Dragon. Are we giving her [I]see invisibility[/I] like the [I]MotP[/I] Bahamut? [B]See Invisibility (Ex):[/B] Bahamut has the extraordinary ability to see invisible creatures. This works like the [I]see invisibility[/I] spell with a range of 1,600 feet. This power is always active. Bahamut also has 1,600 ft. darkvision (!) so I guess the Dragon Rulers should too. The original text for the Dragon Rulers says "Each ruler has a spell book containing all of the known spells, but must study and learn them just as a normal magic-user. Clerical spells are gained with the usual amount of meditation". Should we change their sorcerer spell casting to wizard? [/QUOTE]
