Emerald dragons make their homes in extinct or dormant volcanoes. Twice per day they can use a keening sort of voice (breath)
weapon which will set up a sonic vibration, knocking all affected
creatures within hearing distance unconscious for 10-60 rounds.
Those making their saving throw vs. dragon breath are deafened for
10-60 rounds.
Emerald dragons are beautiful creatures whose scaly hide seems
to be in constant motion due to the many shades of green on the
body. The interplay of the various shades can be very distracting to
an observer, and the Emerald dragon knows how to undulate its
body to create a hypnotic effect on those he is parlaying with. Thus,
after 3 rounds of peaceable encounter with this sort of dragon, the
dragon is able to attack (if it wishes to) with complete surprise.

Emerald dragons have 2 minor disciplines and 1 major discipline.
All Neutral dragons consider their level of mastery for all disciplines to be equivalent to twice their age level.
