CrasherWeaverLANDAERIALAQUATICdragonacid

Murderous tyrants of marshes, swamps, bogs, and fens, black dragons terrorize their domains with intense fervor. Gleefully sadistic, they rule their fetid principalities from a deep cave or otherwise isolated part of the swamp with a mix of lightning-quick raids and subterfuge. Their hatred for other creatures is as acidic as their breath weapons, and they rarely tolerate even other dragons of their kind-except perhaps to mate or temporarily collaborate to take down a mutual enemy.

Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental) — 90 feet. DC 41 Will

A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Regardless of the result of the saving throw, the creature is temporarily immune to this monster's Frightful Presence for 1 minute.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected by the presence.

Success The creature is Frightened 1.

Failure The creature is Frightened 2.

Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 4.

Breath Weapon (acid, arcane) — Ilthuliak breathes a spray of acid that deals 22d6 acid damage in a 100-foot line (DC 44 Reflex save).

She can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.

Corrupt Water (arcane, concentrate) — Frequency Once per day

Effect The dragon permanently befouls 10 cubic feet of liquid within 90 feet. The liquid becomes undrinkable and unable to support water-breathing life.

This destroys liquid magic or alchemical items if they're of a lower level than the dragon (a creature can attempt a DC 41 Will save to protect liquids in its possession). This doesn't affect liquids in a creature's body.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIAL / AQUATICAn anvil resolves the positioning tension by anchoring enemies inside the dragon's breath weapon line and Frightful Presence radius.

MenderLAND / AERIAL / AQUATICA mender addresses the tempo tension of the dragon taking return fire during repeated high-speed passes.

ShadeLAND / AERIAL / AQUATICA shade compounds the priority tension when its Will-targeting debuffs stack with Frightful Presence.
