[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 5006426, member: 11368"] It's an awesome idea, but how would it be represented in D&D terms? Especially 4e, which is much less friendly to irreversible effects like that? Very true. Thanks! The idea comes from a creature/deity/Great Old One I've been playing around with the idea for for a long time -- essentially a combination of an embodiment of natural selection with the Aztec goddess Coatlicue. It could be for a game, but if I ever had time I'd finish the sci-fi story I was going to write involving it ... sigh, never enough time... That creature would have been far more powerful than a mere Eschatolic dragon though! Sounds cool. Antimagic aura, probably, and Intelligence drain in a big radius. Anti-Time, in addition to the things others have suggested, ought to have a slowing aura as it begins to consume the time around it. I also like the idea of it going backwards in time; perhaps some attack based on eating the future of its victims? Anti-Matter Dragon should have an Anti-Matter Effect breath weapon, and probably be extremely resistant to weapon attacks, but not very resistant to energy/magic attacks. It might also have a damaging aura of hard radiation as it annihilates matter that contacts its body; or if you want a more fantasy approach, the damaging aura might represent the slow decay of matter near it.
