Skills and Feats: Appraise +31, Bluff +37, Concentration +28, Craft (trapmaking) +18, Hide +2, Intimidate +39, Jump +48, Knowledge (arcana) +31, Knowledge (local) +31, Knowledge (religion) +31, Listen +37, Search +37, Sense Motive +37, Spellcraft +39, Spot +37, Use Magic Device +22; Awesome Blow, Flyby Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Power Attack, Snatch, Wingover.
Breath Weapon (Su): 60-ft. cone, damage 18d10 fire, Reflex DC 33 half.
Crush (Ex): Area 20 ft. by 20 ft.; Medium or smaller opponents take 4d6+19 points of bludgeoning damage, and must succeed on a DC 33 Reflex save or be pinned; grapple bonus +56.
Frightful Presence (Ex): 270-ft. radius, HD 30 or less, Will DC 29 negates.
Snatch (Ex): Grapple bonus +56; claw against creature of Medium or smaller for 2d8+6/round, bite against Large or smaller for 4d6+13/round, or 8d6+26 if the dragon does not move; snatched creature can be flung 90 ft. for 9d6 points of damage.
Spell-Like Abilities: 9/day-locate object; 3/day-suggestion. Caster level 13th; save DC 16 + spell level.
Spells: As 13th-level sorcerer.
Typical Sorcerer Spells Known (6/8/8/7/7/7/5; save DC 16 + spell level):0-arcane mark, dancing lights, detect magic, ghost sound, guidance, mage hand, prestidigitation, read magic, resistance; 1st-alarm, chill touch, divine favor, magic missile, shield; 2nd-cat's grace, cure moderate wounds, darkness, detect thoughts, invisibility; 3rd-deeper darkness, dispel magic, haste, protection from elements; 4th-charm monster, emotion, restoration, spell immunity; 5th-circle of doom, feeblemind, shadow evocation; 6th-acid fog, heal.
Tail Sweep (Ex): Half-circle 30 ft. in diameter, Small or smaller opponents take 2d6+19 points of bludgeoning damage, Reflex DC 33 half.
The size-related abilities (eg Snatch, Tail Sweep) still look pretty lame, if you ask me. I was hoping for DR 5/adamantine - oh well, that's what stoneskin's for.
I think the spell list is pretty good, but it will probably be different in the book (eg emotion - huh?). I would add Wall of [whatever] instead, so I can isolate players, then crush or full attack them one at a time *evil laughter* However, a Protection from Acid/Acid Fog combo might make my choice of Wall spell redundant (the players can't move fast, they can't see...).
PS where's the dragon's blindsense?
PPS darkvision has been reduced from 900 ft. to 270 ft.
