SPECIAL ABILITIES [phase i]

Earthquake (Su)

As a standard action, Earth Dragon can cause the ground to erupt around it within a 30-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect take 8d6 points of earth damage and are inflicted with the Weighted status effect for 1d6 rounds (Reflex save DC 25 for half damage and negates the status effect). Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 23).

During Phase II, increase radius to 90-ft.

Horned Tusk (Ex)

Whenever struck by a melee attack as a counter attack, the Earth Dragon will return one claw strike at 3d6+27 points of damage that ignores DR.

Landslides (Su)

Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a standard action, Earth Dragon causes a landslide within a 60-ft.-cone radius. Creatures within the area of effect takes 8d8 points of earth damage and the area is considered difficult terrain for 2d4+1 rounds. They must make a successful Reflex save (DC 25) for half damage.

50 Gs (Su)

Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a swift action, Earth Dragon applies pressure to all those around himself within a 200-ft.-radius. Anyone within the area of effect gets their float and fly effects dispelled immediately falling down to the ground from where they are at, unless they make a Will save (DC 25).

During Phase II, can be used as an immediate action whenever someone is flying or floating within 200-ft. from himself.

SPECIAL ABILITIES [phase Ii]

Earthern Rage (Su) [Begins Phase II]

Once below 50% health (456), This Burst Mode lets Earth Dragon bulks himself up, becoming a complete beast. For a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 round for every four HD, Earth Dragon gains +6 Strength, Haste, and has 1d6 points of earth damage added to all his melee attacks. This limit break requires only a swift action to activate.

Magnitude 8 (Su) [Phase II]

Once every 1d3+1 rounds as a standard action, Earth Dragon can cause the ground to erupt wildly around it within a 60-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect take 15d10 points of earth damage and are inflicted with the weighted status effect. They must make a successful Reflex save (DC 25) to reduce the damage by half and negate the status effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as an 8th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 31).
