Str 33, Dex 10, Con 23, Int 20, Wis 21, Cha 20 SPECIAL ABILITIES
Change Shape (Su)A very young or older gold dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form three times per day as if using polymorph. Detect Gems (Sp)A young or older gold dragon can detect gems three times per day. This functions as locate object, but can only be used to locate gemstones. Fast Flight (Ex)A young or older gold dragon is treated as one size category larger when determining his fly speed. Luck (Sp)Once per day an adult or older gold dragon can touch a gem, usually one embedded in the dragon’s hide, and enspell it to bring good luck. As long as the dragon carries the gem, it and every good creature within a given radius of it (10 ft. per age category) receives a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. If the dragon gives an enspelled gem to another creature, only that bearer gets the bonus. The effect lasts 1d3 hours plus 3 hours per age category of the dragon. This ability is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell. Weakening Breath (Su)Instead of a cone of fire, a gold dragon can breathe a cone of weakening gas. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1 point of Strength damage per age category (Will save half). |
