Whisper Dragon (Ancient)

Creature 16 (uncommon) — dragon, occult

Whisper dragons are keen collectors of rumors and secrets who spend centuries honing their information networks and relationships. They generally do so not out of an intent to hold the information over others or to use for their own machinations, but simply because the process of learning and gathering information is fulfilling. Their hoards are sparse compared to those of other dragons, as they hold their true treasures—secrets—in their minds.

Cogitation Breath (mental, occult) — The dragon unleashes a befuddling miasma, dealing 15d6 mental damage in a 50-foot type:cone (DC 37 Will save). A creature that fails its save is Stupefied 1 (Stupefied 2 on a critical failure) for 1 minute. The dragon can't use Cogitation Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
Draconic Frenzy — The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one tail Strike in any order.
Draconic Momentum — The dragon recharges their Cogitation Breath whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.
Steal Knowledge (concentrate, mental, occult) — The dragon plucks a fragment of knowledge from the mind of a creature within 60 feet, choosing a skill to affect. The creature must attempt a DC 35 Will save. **Success** The creature is unaffected. **Failure** For the next minute, the creature takes a –1 status penalty to checks using that skill, and the dragon gets a +1 status bonus to using that skill. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the penalty is –2 and the bonus is +2.
Thought Whispers (mental, occult) — Frequency once per minute Effect The dragon sends their mind out to seek others' thoughts, affecting all creatures within 60 feet with Mind Reading (DC 37 Will).
Unveil Secret (fear, mental, occult) — The dragon delves into the mind of a creature within 60 feet to scour for secrets, learning something the creature would find embarrassing or shameful unless they succeed a DC 37 Will save. The target becomes Frightened 1 and can't reduce their frightened condition for 1 minute or until the dragon reveals the secret. As a reaction when the affected creature attempts a check, the dragon can reveal their secret to discomfit them, requiring them to roll twice and take the lower result; this is a misfortune effect.
