Ethereal Dragon

Young and older chaos dragons’ natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Breath Weapon (Su): A chaos dragon has two types of breath weapon, a line of energy and a cone of confusion gas. The energy type of its breath weapon is determined randomly each time it uses the breath weapon by rolling d%: 01–20 acid, 21–40 cold, 41–60 electricity, 61–80 fire, 81–100 sonic. Even the dragon itself doesn’t know which type of energy it will emit before it actually breathes. Creatures within the cone of confusion gas must succeed on a Will save or be confused for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per age category of the dragon.

Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—entropic shield, protection from law, chaos hammer; 1/day—cloak of chaos, dispel law, mind fog, mislead, word of chaos.

Ethereal dragons spend most of their lives floating through the Ethereal Plane, spying into the Material Plane for valuable treasure.

Ethereal dragons’ natural coloration is a pearlescent brown-gray, which accounts for their nickname of “moonstone dragon.” They have needlelike claws and teeth.

Ethereal dragons are naturally curious and inquisitive, and often spy on those “stuck” on the Material Plane. They are also greedy, and may come to covet the valuables carried by those they spy upon. In such cases, an ethereal dragon might visit the Material Plane only to appropriate such items, returning to its native Ethereal Plane as soon as possible.

Ethereal dragons speak Draconic.

Combat

Most ethereal dragons prefer escape over battle, heading either to the Ethereal Plane or the Material Plane to avoid conflict. If forced into a fight, or if the ethereal dragon feels combat is necessary, it uses its powers to frustrate its
