Abilities & Attacks

Saving Throws: +1 status to all saves vs. magic Smoke Vision. Smoke doesn't impair a red dragon's vision; it ignores the concealed condition from smoke. Dragon Heat (arcane, aura, evocation, fire). 10 feet, 4d6 fire damage (DC 39 basic Reflex) Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental). 90 feet, DC 40 Attack of Opportunity (reaction). Jaws only. Redirect Fire (reaction) (abjuration, arcane). Trigger A creature within 100 feet casts a fire spell, or a fire spell otherwise comes into effect from a source within 100 feet; Effect The dragon makes all the choices to determine the targets, destination, or other effects of the spell, as though it were the caster. Breath Weapon (2 actions) (arcane, evocation, fire). The dragon breathes a blast of flame that deals 20d6 fire damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 42 basic Reflex save). It can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds. Draconic Frenzy (2 actions). The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one wing Strike in any order. Draconic Momentum. The dragon recharges its Breath Weapon whenever it scores a critical hit with a Strike. Manipulate Flames (1 action) (arcane, concentrate, transmutation). The red dragon attempts to take control of a magical fire or a fire spell within 100 feet. If it succeeds at a counteract check (counteract level 10, counteract modifier +32), the original caster loses control of the spell or magic fire, control is transferred to the dragon, and the dragon counts as having Sustained the Spell with this action (if applicable). The dragon can choose to end the spell instead of taking control, if it chooses.
