Fortune Dragon (Ancient, Spellcaster)

Creature 19 (uncommon) — arcane, dragon

WeaverCrasherAERIALLANDdragonarcane

Fortune dragons have the innate ability to draw upon the raw magical energies that surround them. They constantly use these magical energies to empower their magical abilities and even their bodies, as the energy can heal wounds. A fortune dragon has a typical build for an arcane dragon, but their bodies sport a striking feature: their treasure. The dragon's nature of drawing upon magic causes coins, gems, and, most notably, magical items to cling to their body like iron drawn to magnets. A drag

Aura of Disruption (arcane, aura) — 120 feet.

The dragon radiates disruptive energies that allow them to feed on magic. When a spell is counteracted or disrupted within the aura, the dragon regains one expended spontaneous spell slot and gains 35 temporary Hit Points that last for 1 minute.

Capture Spell (arcane) —

Disruptive Breath (arcane, force) — The dragon unleashes a spray of magic-disrupting energies that deals 18d6 force damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 45 Reflex save). Creatures that fail become Stupefied 1 (Stupefied 2 on a critical failure) for 1 minute.

The dragon can't use Disruptive Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Drain Hoard —

Share the Wealth —

Treasure Dive — The dragon can move through other creatures while moving in this way. Creatures in the dragon's path, or above it if the dragon Burrows, must succeed at a DC 38 Reflex save or be pushed 10 feet (or pushed 20 feet and knocked Prone on a critical failure).

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIALA grounded bruiser holds the party's melee attention while this dragon works the skies with its breath and spells.

SnareLAND / AERIALA controller that clusters or roots targets turns the cone breath's area save into a near-guaranteed hit.

SniperAERIAL / LANDA ranged attacker can keep pressuring the dragon while it maneuvers at range, avoiding the melee exposure the breath punishes.

PUNISHES

✖ spellcasting reliance✖ clumping✖ low Reflex

Avoid pairing with another high-DC spellcaster; the party's limited counteract options get split across two priority casters.
