Passives
Spellcasting (oracle-sight)
The emerald dragon reads the branching futures; its foresight bleeds into psychic sorcery, letting it scry distant places and unravel a foe's next moves before they are made.
Foreseen Mind
Immune to psychic damage. Its precognition means it cannot be surprised and it has advantage on initiative. Burrows 40 ft through earth and stone.
Maneuvers
Dissonant Breath
Exhales a 30 ft cone of maddening psychic resonance. Each creature in the cone makes a Mind save (DC 17): on a failure it takes 4 damage and is dazed for 1 round; on a success it takes 1 Vigor damage.
Reactions
Glimpsed Blow
When an attack hits it, the dragon may reveal it foresaw the strike: the attacker rerolls the attack and must use the new result. Once per round.
Tactics
GM tactics
Paranoid and reclusive. Uses precognition to avoid threats. Hoards knowledge of the future. Speaks in cryptic prophecies.
Running it
Rules
- Shield of Tier + Heart mod over a Vitality pool of 10 + 4 x Tier. Full Vigor at combat start; at the start of its turn it rolls 4 exploding d4s and regains 1 Vigor per 4. Dead at 0 Vigor and 0 Vitality.
- A hit rolls d10. A crit rolls two: 2d10.
- Crits on a natural 14+ (Cunning 22).
- Two or three attacks in a normal turn: multiattack is the threat scaler, and one swing a round makes it a mook.
- Sovereign: 2 Sovereign Actions a round, spent after other combatants' turns, on top of its attacks.
- Never checks morale: it fights to 0 Vitality or to the exit written into its lowest phase.
- NPCs never take wounds.
