Abilities & Attacks

Mist Vision. Fog and mist don't impair a cloud dragon's vision; they ignore the concealed condition from fog and mist. Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental). 90 feet, DC 40 Deflecting Cloud (reaction). Requirements The dragon is aware of the attack and has a free wing; Trigger The dragon is the target of a ranged attack; Effect The cloud dragon flexes a wing and creates a billowing cloud of mist. The dragon is treated as if they were hidden for the purposes of resolving the triggering attack, so normally the attacker must succeed at a DC 11 flat check to target them. The dragon also gains a +4 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack. Breath Weapon (2 actions) (electricity, evocation, primal). The dragon breathes a thundercloud that deals 20d6 electricity damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 41 basic Reflex save). This cloud remains in the area for 1d4 rounds, with the effects of obscuring mist.
