[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9547206, member: 57383"] We gave Pearl all the SAs and SQs of her dragon types so presumably we'll be doing the same for Opal. So Opal will have the powers of a Mystaran Jade and Mystaran Onyx dragon plus an Amber ([I]Neutral[/I]), Jacinth, Jade, Moonstone and Pearl Dragon. So that's: [SIZE=5][b]Mystaran Jade[/b][/SIZE] [B]Camouflage (Ex):[/B] Since a jade dragon looks like a green 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 resemblance is only visual, creatures with the scent ability automatically notice the difference. [SIZE=5][b]Mystaran Onyx[/b][/SIZE] [B]Camouflage (Ex):[/B] 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 resemblance is only visual, creatures with the scent ability automatically notice the difference. [B]Corrupt Water (Sp):[/B] Once per day an adult or older onyx dragon can stagnate 10 cubic feet of water, making it become still, foul, and unable to support animal life. The ability spoils liquids containing water. Magic items (such as potions) and items in a creature’s possession must succeed on a Will save (DC equal to that of the dragon’s frightful presence) or become fouled. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell. Its range is equal to that of the dragon’s frightful presence. [SIZE=5][b]Amber (Neutral)[/b][/SIZE] [B]Blink (Sp):[/B] A very young or older amber dragon can use this ability as the spell once per day for each two age categories it is, thus an adult amber dragon can use the ability three times per day. This is as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the dragon’s age category or its caster level whichever is higher. The range is personal. [B]Wild Shape (Su):[/B] A young adult or older amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses.

If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon. [SIZE=5][b]Jacinth[/b][/SIZE] [B]Blinding Hide (Ex):[/B] In areas of natural sunlight or a daylight spell, a young or older jacinth dragon's hide reflects the sun so brightly that any creature within range (10 feet x dragon's age category) viewing the dragon must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC equals breath weapon DC) or be blinded for 5d6 rounds. A creature that successfully saves is instead dazzled for 1d4 rounds. [B]Blink (Sp):[/B] A very young or older jacinth dragon can use this ability as the spell once per day for each two age categories it is, thus an adult jacinth dragon can use the ability three times per day. This is as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the dragon’s age category or its caster level whichever is higher. The range is personal. [SIZE=5][b]Jade[/b][/SIZE] [B]Beguile (Su):[/B] A jade dragon often speaks in riddles. When it speaks for one full round, all creatures within 10 feet per age category must succeed on a Will save or become [I]enthralled[/I] (as the spell). Beguile is a sonic, mind-affecting, language-dependent charm effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same jade dragon's beguile ability for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based. [B]Blink (Sp):[/B] A very young or older jade dragon can use this ability as the spell once per day for each two age categories it is, thus an adult jade dragon can use the ability three times per day. This is as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the dragon’s age category or its caster level whichever is higher. The range is personal. [SIZE=5][b]Moonstone[/b][/SIZE] [B]Awesome Presence (Su):[/B] Moonstone dragons do not have a fear aura as do most other dragons. Instead, creatures with HD less than the dragon caught in the aura that fail their Will saves are fascinated while the dragon is present. After the dragon departs, they lose all memory of the encounter. [B]Dream (Su):[/B] As the spell, except that a moonstone dragon can only send itself to the recipient's dream at will as a standard action. [SIZE=5][b]Pearl[/b][/SIZE] [B]Beguile (Su):[/B] A pearl dragon often speaks in riddles. When it speaks for one full round, all creatures within 10 feet per age category must succeed on a Will save or become [I]enthralled[/I] (as the spell). Beguile is a sonic, mind-affecting, language-dependent charm effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same pearl dragon's beguile ability for 24 hours.

[B]Hold Breath (Ex):[/B] A pearl dragon can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 24 x its Constitution score before it risks drowning. I left out a couple of abilities, like the Jacinth's Telepathy, Moonstone's Planar Travel and the Mystaran Jade's Water Breathing, since they overlapped with powers Opal already has. [/QUOTE]
