Special Abilities

Desert Wind (Su)

A juvenile or older brass dragon can call up the desert wind to serve him. This functions as gust of wind, but any creature in its path must make a Fortitude save (DC 19) or be blinded for 1d4 rounds by the sand.

Move Sand (Su)

A young or older brass dragon can move sand to excavate ruins or hide treasures. This functions as move earth, but it only affects sand. The dragon uses his HD in place of his caster level for this effect. This is equivalent to a 5th-level spell.

Sleep Breath (Su)

Instead of a line of fire, a brass dragon can breathe a cone of sleep gas. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a Will save or fall asleep for 1d6+4 rounds.

Consummate conversationalists, brass dragons prefer to talk instead of fight.

Brass dragons lair near humanoid settlements, where they can hear the most recent news and gossip.
