Topaz Dragon
Dragon (Water)
Climate/Terrain: Any aquatic (coastal)
Organization: Wyrmling, very young, young, juvenile, and young adult: solitary or clutch (2–5); adult, mature adult, old, very old, ancient, wyrm, or great wyrm: solitary, pair, or family (1–2 and 2–5 offspring)
Challenge Ratings: Wyrmling 3; very young 4; young 6; juvenile 9; young adult 12; adult 14; mature adult 17; old 19; very old 20; ancient 22; wyrm 23; great wyrm 25
Treasure: Double standard
Alignment: Always chaotic neutral
Advancement: Wyrmling 8–9 HD (Small); very young 11–12 HD (Medium-size); young 14–15 HD (Medium-size); juvenile 17–18 HD (Large); young adult 20–21 HD (Large); adult 23–24 HD (Huge); mature adult 26–27 HD (Huge); old 29–30 HD (Huge); very old 32–33 HD (Huge); ancient 35–36 HD (Gargantuan); wyrm 38–39 HD (Gargantuan); great wyrm 41+ HD (Colossal)
Topaz dragons are unfriendly and selfish. Though not malevolent, their erratic behavior makes any dealings with a topaz dragon unpleasant, and probably dangerous.
A topaz wyrmling’s scales are dull yellow with orange highlights. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its color slowly brightens until the individual scales become scarcely visible. From a distance, these dragons look as if they have been sculpted from pure topaz. As a topaz dragon grows older, its pupils fade until in the oldest the eyes resemble orbs of fire.
Topaz dragons prefer seacoast lairs on secluded beaches or caves below the waterline. They keep their lairs completely dry, even those with submerged entrances. They spend much of their time outside their lair on rocky outcroppings, enjoying the wind and spray. Of course, such a position also allows them to spot passing prey, such as sharks and large squid.
Because they lair in similar territories, topaz and bronze dragons often come into conflict. Duels between the two varieties are furious and deadly.
Combat
Topaz dragons dislike intruders, but prefer to begin any potential confrontation with conversation. Hostile intruders are quickly attacked, but so are visitors who ultimately prove boring.
Breath Weapon (Su): Topaz dragons breath a cone of dehydration (water). When directed against aqueous liquids, one cubic foot of water evaporates per hit point of damage dealt.
Waterbreathing (Ex): Topaz dragons can breath water as readily as air.
Cold Immunity (Ex): Topaz dragons are immune to cold.
Psionics (Sp): 3/day—polymorph self, fog cloud, control winds;
2/day— feather fall;
1/day— control weather and metamorphosis. A topaz dragon’s polymorph self and metamorphosis work just like the psionic powers, except that each use allows only one change, which lasts until the dragon assumes another form or reverts to its own (which does not count as a use of this ability).
Attack/Defense Modes (Sp): At will— mind thrust, ego whip/thought shield, mental barrier. As topaz dragons gain levels of psion, they gain additional psionic attack and defense modes, according to the rules of a psion.
Skills: Topaz dragons have the Swim skill for free at 1 rank per Hit Die.
