I do want to say that what I showed was not what I consider a typical dragon. I had particular ideas I wanted to express in this version of white dragon. Here are my first pass reactions:That is probably a good idea.  Most of the dragons will have a version of this ability as a trait that activates on the dragon's initiative count. I wanted this White to have a different feel. I think having it be a reaction works better.Personally I don't like the optics of that. In my mind it conjures an image of dragon jumping around like a spinning top. I don't want that. It is to gamist for my taste, but it is a good mechanic to balance our fights with  a lot of opponents.Yep, I went back and forth on this one. I wrote it a couple of different ways. I will need to take another pass at it.Just an FYI, this is actually a weaker version of the 2024 Rakshasa's trait:[ATTACH=full]405047[/ATTACH]The concept I had for white dragons was that they are primarily melee brutes who want to smash you in the face.  WotC decided that white dragons would be the only dragons without spells.  I didn't like that at first, but then decided to lean into it. There lack of spells isn't a strike against them, it is because they are the nemesis of magic / magic uses. The shrug off and destroy magic on there way to tearing you apart. So yes, a wizard would feel pretty helpless against this dragon, but that is the whole point.Copy paste issue that never got corrected. It is fixed now.Thank you again for the help!Edit: Here are my updates[ATTACH=full]405052[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
