SU Auto-Float, Beatdown

SPECIAL ABILITIES [phase i]

Auto-Float (Ex)

Storm Dragon is always hovering. This gives it movement as though it was under the effect of a float spell; this effect cannot be dispelled.

Beatdown (Ex)

Whenever struck by a melee attack as a counter attack, the Storm Dragon will return one claw strike at 3d6+16 points of damage.

Leaf Swirl (Su)

Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a standard action, Storm Dragon creates a tornado of leafs then blow them outward towards his foes hitting everyone within 60 ft.-radius-burst. Anyone in the area of effect takes 6d8 points of non-elemental damage with no save.

Wind Slash (Su)

Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a standard action, Storm Dragon uses its wings to cause the wind to slice all those in a 60-ft.-cone. Creatures within the area of effect take 15d6 points of wind damage, Reflex save (DC 26) for half damage.

Blue mages may learn this ability as a 8th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 31).

SPECIAL ABILITIES [phase ii]

Misty Advantage (Su) [Begins Phase II]

Once below 60% health (592), This Burst Mode lets Storm Dragon’s misty form release, making it more difficult to hit him. For a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 round for every four HD, Storm Dragon gains 20% concealment vs magical/physical attacks and +5 to dodge AC. This limit break requires only a swift action to activate.

Maelstrom (Su) [Phase II]

Once every 1d4+1 rounds as a full-round action, Storm Dragon can unleash a black, draining wind upon his enemies. All enemies in a 20 ft. radius burst, with a range of 30 feet, must make a Fortitude save (DC 26) or be reduced to a number of hit points equal to their HD. Those who are already at such a level of hit points or lower are reduced to 1 hit point instead. A successful saving throw reduces the enemy’s current hit points by one quarter instead.

Blue mages may learn this ability as a 9th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 33).

Wing Saber (Ex) [Phase II]

Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a standard action, Storm Dragon strikes downward with great power towards one opponent within melee range. If he hits (+27), this attack does 12d8 points of slashing/piercing damage.
