The Empyreal Dragon (Ancient, Spellcaster) is a Level 19 creature, with Armor Class 43 and 350 hit points. An ancient empyreal dragon is a massive celestial guardian that projects a motivational aura through its floating halo.
Saving Throws: +2 status to all saves vs. divine Lifesense (Imprecise) 30 feet. Lifesense allows a monster to sense the vital essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. The sense can distinguish between the vitality energy animating living creatures and the void energy animating undead creatures, much as sight distinguishes colors. Constant Spells. A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires. +2 Status to All Saves vs. Divine Divine Deflection (reaction). Trigger The dragon is critically hit by an attack. Effect Divine power intercedes, preventing some of the damage. The dragon gains resistance 10 to all damage against the triggering attack. Inspiring Presence (aura, emotion, mental). 60 feet. The mere sight of an empyreal dragon motivates other creatures. Creatures within the aura gain a +1 status bonus to saving throws and skill checks. The empyreal dragon can't gain the benefit of their own aura or other actions that use the aura, and they can choose to exclude any creatures from any benefit of the aura or action that uses the aura. Direct Halo (1 action) (concentrate, divine, manipulate). The dragon tosses their halo to a square within 90 feet. While the halo is deployed in this way, the dragon loses their inspiring presence aura, and the aura instead emanates from the halo with the same emanation radius. The dragon can Sustain to recall the halo from any distance. The halo is made of pure light—it doesn't occupy space and can't be targeted or destroyed in any way. Halo Pulse (2 actions) (concentrate, divine). The dragon chooses one effect to impose on creatures in their inspiring presence aura. The dragon can't use Halo Pulse again for 1d4 rounds. - Repulsion Each creature must succeed at a DC 41 Fortitude save or be pushed until it's no longer in the aura. - Restoration (healing, vitality) Each creature recovers 9d8 Hit Points. - Restriction (incapacitation, mental) Creatures must succeed at a DC 41 Will save or be Slowed 1 (Slowed 2 on a critical failure) while they remain within the aura. Regardless of the result, a creature is then temporarily immune to restriction for 1 minute. Spirit Breath (2 actions) (divine, holy, spirit). The dragon unleashes a blast of holy fire that deals 16d8 spirit damage in a 50-foot cone (DC 41 basic Reflex save). The dragon can't use Spirit Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
