SPECIAL ABILITIES

Dragon Force (Su)

A crystal dragon releases the dragon soul within, improving itself or an ally by touch. This ability grants the subject an increase to all physical damage, melee and range, by +1 per three caster levels. It also grants the subject an increase to all magical damage and healing by +1 per three caster levels. This ability lasts for a minute. Blue mages may learn this ability as an 8th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 31).

Heaven’s Cataract (Su)

As a standard action, a crystal dragon creates an eerie sound affecting anyone within a 30-ft. radius from her. Those caught in the eerie waves takes 12d4 points of non-elemental damage and must make a Will save (DC 32) to negate the status effect and reduce the damage by half. The status effect reduces all enemies’ resistance to saving throws versus spells by 2 and deflection bonus to Armor Class by 2 for 1d6 rounds. Anyone that cannot hear is immune to this effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 27).

Mighty Roar (Su)

Once every 1d4 rounds as a standard action, the crystal dragon brings out a mighty roar. Any creature within the area is deafened for 6d6 rounds, stunned for 1 round, and takes 15d6 points of non-elemental damage. Any exposed brittle or crystalline object or crystalline creature takes 1d6 points of non-elemental damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). A creature in the area of the cone can negate the stunning and halve both the damage and the duration of the deafness with a successful Fortitude save (DC 32). A creature holding vulnerable objects can attempt a Reflex save to negate the damage to those objects. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 8th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 31).

Razor Sharp (Ex)

All of a crystal dragon’s natural attacks deal slashing damage.

Ray Reflection (Ex)

A crystal dragon’s scales reflect ray spells back upon the ray’s source if the ray fails to overcome the dragon’s spell resistance.

Scintillating Aura (Su)

A crystal dragon radiates an aura of scintillating color from its jeweled scales to a radius of 60 feet. All within this area must make a Will save each round to avoid being stunned (if the victim has 15 or fewer Hit Dice) or confused (if the victim has more than 15 Hit Dice) for 1 round. The save DC is equal to the dragon’s breath weapon save DC. This is a mind-affecting effect. The dragon can activate or suppress this aura as a free action.
