Special abilities[]
An ancient gold dragon has the usual dragon immunities to paralysis, mind-affecting, and sneak attack, and it has permanent true seeing.
This creature can use its fire dragon breath and weaken dragon breath each thrice per day and its aura of dragon fear once per day. Additionally it can cast, as a spell-like ability, cone of cold, confusion, greater dispelling, hold person, phantasmal killer and prismatic spray each twice per day with a caster level of 15.
Notes[]
- Like all the metallic dragons, the gold dragon is of the commoner faction and, as a result, is non-hostile.
- The deck of hazards can produce an identical summoned creature through its hatchling transformation. This creature will fly away (
EffectDisappear()) when it does not see an enemy and is not engaged in combat. It will still drop a vial of dragon blood when slain (but not if it is unsummoned or flies away). The ResRef of this creature isx0_wyrm_good.
