[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6199460, member: 57383"] I've put the following in the Working Draft as rough drafts for the two special abilities we've thought of so far: [B]Burn (Ex):[/B] A foxdragon's tail attack deals bludgeoning damage plus fire damage from the creature's fiery tail. Those hit by a foxdragon's tail attack also must succeed on a DC X Reflex save or catch on fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds. A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame. The save DC is Constitution-based. [B]Heat Haze (Ex):[/B] A foxdragon can heat the air surrounding it to bend and blur light, making it difficult to surmise the creature's true location. Any melee or ranged attack directed at it has a 20% miss chance unless the attacker can locate the beast by some means other than sight. A [I]see invisibility[/I] spell does not counteract this effect, but a [I]true seeing[/I] allows the user to see the foxdragon's position. We've got a couple of important questions to settle next. How many Hit Dice do we give it? I'm thinking 2 Hit Dice like a Pseudodragon rather than 1 HD like a Fox. Land speed 40 ft. like a Fox, plus fly 60 ft. (good) like a Pseudodragon? I reckon this thing ought to have supernatural flight - that's a common ability for "Oriental" type D&D dragons. What damage for the bite and tail. 1d4 for the bite (like a Fox) and 1d3 for the tail (like a Pseudodragon's sting) plus either 1d4 fire (like a Small Fire Elemental) or 1d3 fire (the "next size down" from a Small Fire Elemental's damage)?
