SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fireball (Su)
As a standard action within 760 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 18) to take half damage. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 21).
Healing Flame (Su)
Once every 1d4 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 18) 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.
