Abilities & Attacks
Sandstorm Sight. Sandstorms don't impair a desert drake's vision; they ignore Concealment from sandstorms. They also are immune to being Dazzled or Blinded by sand or other grit. Wing Deflection (reaction). Trigger The desert drake is targeted with an attack. Effect The desert drake raises their wing, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack. If the desert drake is flying at the time they're attacked, they descend 10 feet after the attack is complete. Draconic Frenzy (2 actions). The desert drake makes two Fangs Strikes and one Tail Strike in any order. Sandstorm Breath (2 actions) (earth, primal). The desert drake spits a ball of abrasive sand with a range of 60 feet that explodes into a cloud with a 15-foot burst. Creatures in the area take 9d6 slashing damage (DC 27 basic Reflex save). The desert drake can't use Sandstorm Breath again for 1d6 rounds, during which the sandstorm lingers in the area. This lingering sandstorm grants Concealment to everything within it and conceals everything outside from them. Speed Surge (1 action) (move). Frequency three times per day. Effect The desert drake Strides or Flies twice. Surprise Attacker. On the first round of combat, creatures that haven't acted yet are Off-Guard to the desert drake. Push (1 action). Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Push in its damage entry. Effect The monster attempts to Shove the creature. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the monster's multiple attack penalty. If Push lists a distance, change the distance the creature is pushed on a success to that distance.
