Combat<br />

breath Weapon (Su): The dragonspawn’s breath<br />

weapon is a 100-foot line of adhesive naphtha that inflicts<br />

7d10 fire damage, Reflex save DC 19 half. The save DC is<br />

Constitution-based.<br />

The following round, anything hit by the naphtha takes<br />

an additional 3d10 fire damage. If a full-round action is<br />

spent to extinguish the flames, the secondary damage may<br />

be avoided, Reflex DC 9. Immersion in water extinguishes<br />

the flames.<br />

The Blighted<br />

Those who dwell close to a dragon <strong>for</strong> an extended period<br />

of time will notice an immediate and very apparent effect:<br />

they become blighted themselves.<br />

The blighted, whatever their original <strong>for</strong>ms, gradually<br />

begin to take on a more reptilian appearance. Their skin<br />

toughens and becomes scaly, they often sprout horny, bony<br />

ridges, and their eyes darken and assume a snakelike demeanor<br />

giving them enhanced vision in the absence of light. Their<br />

teeth and nails sharpen to points, and their olfactory senses<br />

become razor-sharp.<br />

If a creature that is becoming blighted leaves the area of<br />

effect of the dragonblight, it ceases the trans<strong>for</strong>mation but<br />

will once again begin changing should it re-enter the blightzone.<br />

If the individual has consumed some of the dragon’s<br />

blood, however, the effects are irreversible and unstoppable.<br />

The amount of time it takes <strong>for</strong> a creature to become<br />

blighted varies from dragon to dragon, but it is usually close<br />

to one year’s time of near-constant exposure. A creature that<br />

has been living in a blight-zone <strong>for</strong> a time (designated by the<br />

individual dragon) must make a Fortitude save equal to 10 +<br />

1 ⁄2 the dragon’s Hit Dice + the dragon’s Constitution modifier.<br />

Some dragons have found a way to accelerate the blight<br />

by having their minions drink of their blood, but this is a<br />

dangerous process. The drinker must make a Fortitude save<br />

equal to 1 ⁄4 the dragon’s Hit Dice + the dragon’s Constitution<br />

modifier simply to survive the consumption of the blood.<br />

Success means that the imbiber is well on his way to becoming<br />

blighted and irrevocably dominated by the will of the<br />

dragon; failure obviously results in a particularly painful<br />

death. Partaking of the blood of a dragon has the effects of<br />

the dominate monster spell on the imbiber with the caveat that<br />

if the dominated creature actually manages to make its saving<br />

throw to resist the effects of the dragon’s blood, the dragon<br />

can choose to exert its will once again the following round if<br />

it so chooses. Inevitably, the dominated individual will concede<br />

to the dragon’s greater will.<br />
