Smoke Vision

Smoke doesn't impair a cinder dragon's vision; they ignore the Concealed condition from smoke.

+2 Status to All Saves vs. PrimalBoiling Blood (fire)

Trigger The dragon is critically hit with a melee attack

---

Effect The dragon's superheated blood spills onto the attacker. The target takes 6d6 fire damage (DC 29 reflex save).

Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental)

90 feet. DC 27 will

---

A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Regardless of the result of the saving throw, the creature is temporarily immune to this monster's Frightful Presence for 1 minute.

---

Critical Success The creature is unaffected by the presence.

Success The creature is Frightened 1.

Failure The creature is Frightened 2.

Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 4.

Reactive Strike (Jaws only)

Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.

---

Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Pyre Breath (fire, primal)

The dragon breathes a blast of flame that deals 9d6 fire damage in a 40-foot cone (DC 29 reflex save). Creatures that critically fail their save catch fire, taking 2d6 persistent,fire damage. The area then fills with black smoke for 1 minute. This has the effects of mist, except it fills the cone's area. The dragon can't use Pyre Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Stoke the Flames (fire, primal)

The dragon intensifies nearby fires. Every foe within 60 feet that is taking persistent fire damage takes 3d6 fire damage.

---

Among the largest and fiercest dragons, cinder dragons are typically volatile, demanding respect—even deference—from lesser creatures. Cinder dragons' appearance evokes their flame, often in scales with mixed patterns of red, orange, and yellow. Many cinder dragons dwell in active volcanoes and similarly fiery locales. Cinder dragons prefer treasures that can withstand the heat of their bodies and lairs, with gemstones, gold, and silver common among their hoards.
