Like force dragons, prismatic dragonsare completely odorless.Prismatic dragons make their lairs wherever theyplease. While some prefer remote fastnesses far from anysign of civilization, others choose to live in sea caves justoutside a port city, in the ruins overlooking a bustlingtrading town, or in the forest just beyond a hamlet’s pastureland. They seem to eat a small amount relative totheir size, and are generally careful to hunt over a widerange of territory to avoid depleting resources or angeringlocal cattle herders. They eat any kind of meat, andmay in fact derive sustenance from light.CombatA prismatic dragon fights only if it is attacked, preferringto engage unwitting intruders in conversation to expandits experience of the quirks and foibles of other creatures.When one does fight, it uses its breath weapon, meleeattacks, and spell-like abilities in dreadful concert, carefullyselecting the right attack for the right opponent.Breath Weapon (Su): A prismatic dragon has one typeof breath weapon, a prismatic spray effect. The breathweapon’s cone is of the size indicated by the dragon’s size,not the normal cone for the spell.Deflecting Force (Su): A prismatic dragon is protectedby a shield of shimmering light similar to a cloak ofchaos that provides a deflection bonus to its AC. Thedeflection bonus is equal to the dragon’s Charisma bonus.Immune to Light and Blindness (Ex): Prismaticdragons cannot be harmed by any light, including Evocation[Light] spells, searing lighl, and the various prismatic(sphere, spray, wall) spells. In addition, they are immune toany spell or effect that causes blindness.Spell-Like Abilities: At will—hypnotic pattern, rainbowpattern; 3/day—prismatic sphere, prismatic wall, sunbeam,sunburst.185
