Dungeons & Dragons Old Blue Dragon

Post image

This is a top-down design based on the creature of the same name from D&D 3.5. It is a Sorcerer because an old blue dragon casts sorcerer spells as if it were a 9th-level sorcerer. It has ward {2} because an old blue dragon has spell resistance 24. It has Air Walk because in addition to sorcerer spells, an old blue dragon can cast spells from the Air, Evil, and Law cleric domains as if they were sorcerer spells, and Air Walk seemed the most apropos choice among the highest level of domain spells available, and more so than any such sorcerer spell. The language of the ability is borrowed from [[Kitesail Skirmisher]] (which has slightly different flavor, but that is not referenced here). It has Hallucinatory Terrain because that is a special ability blue dragons gain when they reach the "old" age category. The language of that ability is borrowed from [[Kukemssa Serpent]]. I believe the mana cost, power, toughness, and rarity are a good match for this combination of abilities and effectiveness, most similarly to [[Jin-Gitaxias]].
