SPECIAL ABILITIES

Dragon Force (Su)

1/day, A red dragon releases the dragon soul within, improving itself or an ally by touch. This ability grants the subject an increase to all physical damage, melee and range, by +1 per three caster levels. It also grants the subject an increase to all magical damage and healing by +1 per three caster levels. This ability lasts for a minute. Blue mages may learn this ability as an 8th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 31).

Fire Roar (Su)

Once every 1d4 rounds as a standard action, a red dragon roars a fiery cone blast within 30-ft. burst. Any creature within the area of effect takes 10d6 points of fire damage and are inflicted with the Burn status effect for 1d6 rounds. A successful Reflex save (DC 23) reduces the damage by half and negates the status effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 5th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 25).

Fireball (Su)

As a standard action within 1000 ft., a red dragon generates a searing explosion of flame that detonates with a low roar and deals 5d8 points of fire damage to every creature within the 20-ft.-radius. Every creature caught in the explosion must make a Reflex save (DC 23) to take half damage. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 21).

Healing Flame (Su)

Once every 1d2 rounds as a standard action, the red dragon manifests a sacred flame beneath his foe up to 30 feet away, dealing 6d6 points of damage (half holy/fire) and heals himself for half the damage dealt. The target must make a successful Fortitude save (DC 23) to take half damage and the red dragon does not gain any hit points. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 23).

Smoke Vision (Ex)

A red dragon can see perfectly in smoky conditions.
