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.
