Chromium dragons
(usually refered to as Chrome Dragons) are the most evil and greedy of all
ferrous dragons. They seek treasure and are matched only by red
dragson in their obsession for more.
The chrome dragons have a
remarkable resemblance to silver dragons, and many an adventurer has met
his end because of such a similarity. At birth, a chrom dragon's
scales have the appearance of tarnished silver. As the dragon ages,
the scales begin to brighten until, as adults, the scales have the
appearance of pure silver. The scales continue to change until
reaching the old stage, at which point the scales resemble modern chrome,
even to the point of showing one's reflection.
Chrome Dragons are
deadly opponents. They are merciless and kill simply for the
pleasure of watching their prey writhe in pain. Chrome dragons are
fond of toying with their prey, much in the same manner as a cat does with
a mouse. They can also use their abilities with a ruthless
efficiency that can also destroy an enemy in a matter of moments.
They tend to dominate white dragons, and silver dragons are their direst
enemies.
Chrome dragons live only in the coldest regions, dwelling
in deep caves (often of their own making). The caves they develop
are masterpieces of construction. They often conceal pits with a
thin layer of ice that will break with only the smallest amount of weight,
sending the victim crashing into an array of sharp
icicles.
Combat
Chrome dragons almost always initiate their attacks from the
air, opening the battle with a blast from their freezing cloud, and
closing only if they feel their opponent(s) is weakened
enough.
Breath Weapon (Su):
A chrome dragon has two breathe weapons: a cone
of freezing gas or a line of solid ice. A failed reflex save about
the freezing gas reduces dex to 3, suffer a -4 to all attack bonuses, and
a -4 to all future reflex saves due to numbing (in addition to damage) for
d10+10 rounds.
Trackless Step
(Ex): As druid ability, but only on ice and
snow.
Ice Shape
(Sp): As Stone Shape but it only works on
ice.
Flesh to Ice (Sp): As Stone to Flesh, but the flesh turns to ice. 1/day.Age
