Crystal dragons live on mountain crags,
far away from all other
creatures. They like to come out at night
and lie under the stars.
Cystal dragons can breathe a Dazzling
Cloud twice per day, 4” long
by 4” wide by 2” high, that causes temporary
blindness for everyone
enveloped in it. After emerging from the
cloud, creatures remain
blinded for 10-60 rounds (saving throw
cuts in half). The Dazzling
Cloud is as bright as daylight, and can
be seen for miles. All creatures
within 60’ of it will strike at -2 to
hit, due to its brightness (except for
fire elementals, etc. ). Basically nocturnal
creatures such as goblins,
et al, will strike at -4.
Crystal dragons are a milky white in color,
but when the moon or
stars shine on them, their hide becomes
luminescent and sparkling.
In bright sunlight, they are almost unbearable
to look at, because of
the dazzling brilliance that their hide
reflects.
Crystal dragons have 2 minor disciplines
each.
All Neutral dragons consider their level
of mastery for all disciplines to be equivalent to twice their age level.
