Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Gold Dragon
Speed 60 ft., swim 60 ft.
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.
Spell-like Abilities (Sp)
A gold dragon gains the following spell-like abilities upon reaching the listed age category. Its caster level for these effects is equal to its Hit Dice, and any save DCs are Charisma-based. A gold dragon can use these abilities at will. Very young—detect evil; Juvenile—bless; Adult—daylight; Old— geas/quest; Ancient—sunburst; Great wyrm—foresight.
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).
