However, if some creatures are adamant about destroying ancient lore, or his library, the truth dragon will not hesitate to destroy these creatures, and even their items.Alternate Form (Su) : A truth dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form of Medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day. The dragon can remain in its animal or humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one or return to its natural form.Breath Weapon (Su) : A truth dragon has two types of breath weapon, a cone of magical fire and a cone of paralyzing gas. Creatures within a cone of paralyzing gas must succeed on a fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d6 rounds plus one round per age category. The fire magically ignores books, parchment and similar holders of ancient lore.Frightful Presence (Ex) : A truth dragon can unsettle foes with its mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever the dragon attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 30 feet x the dragon's age category are subject to the effect if they have fewer HD than the dragon. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 10+ ½ dragon's HD + dragon's Cha modifier) remains immune to that dragon’s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Dragons ignore the frightful presence of other dragons.Known Personal Truename: A truth dragon knows his own personal truename. He can pronounce it automatically once per day per 2 age categories.Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day: - Scrying (juvenile and older), Sepia Snake Sigil (adult and older); 2/day – Explosive Runes (old and older); 1/day – Unname (great wyrm)Skills: Truespeak is considered a class skill to truth dragons. Furthermore, they have a +5 racial bonus on it, as well as an additional +20 racial bonus to speak their personal truename.Tongues (Su) : Truth dragons can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to the truth dragon's Hit Dice). This ability is always active.Truespeech (Sp) : A truth dragon knows and speaks utterances as a truenamer of the level indicated in its age category description.</blockquote>

[B]Breath Weapon (Su) [/B]: A truth dragon has two types of breath weapon, a cone of magical fire and a cone of paralyzing gas. Creatures within a cone of paralyzing gas must succeed on a fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d6 rounds plus one round per age category. The fire magically ignores books, parchment and similar holders of ancient lore. [B]Frightful Presence (Ex) [/B]: A truth dragon can unsettle foes with its mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever the dragon attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 30 feet x the dragon's age category are subject to the effect if they have fewer HD than the dragon. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 10+ ½ dragon's HD + dragon's Cha modifier) remains immune to that dragon’s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Dragons ignore the frightful presence of other dragons. [B]Known Personal Truename[/B]: A truth dragon knows his own personal truename. He can pronounce it automatically once per day per 2 age categories. [B]Spell-Like Abilities[/B]: 3/day: - [I]Scrying[/I] (juvenile and older), [I]Sepia Snake Sigil[/I] (adult and older); 2/day – [I]Explosive Runes[/I] (old and older); 1/day – [I]Unname[/I] (great wyrm) [B]Skills[/B]: Truespeak is considered a class skill to truth dragons. Furthermore, they have a +5 racial bonus on it, as well as an additional +20 racial bonus to speak their personal truename. [B]Tongues (Su) [/B]: Truth dragons can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to the truth dragon's Hit Dice). This ability is always active. [B]Truespeech (Sp) [/B]: A truth dragon knows and speaks utterances as a truenamer of the level indicated in its age category description. [/QUOTE]
