Ok! This version of Pewta has Good Maneuverability, and Improved Multiattack. She should be MUCH easier to fly now- Good is the same maneuverability as the Fly spell. She kept the Hover feat, so she can hover any of two ways- Good is perfectly great to Hover via flight, but Hover is good for other reasons, like the dust. Either hover or wingover is required for the Improved Maneuverability feats.

Attack Modes:

(Pewta can attack with any of these as a standard attack: Tail and Bite are the best in most cases)
Standard Action Attack: +28 Bite 2d8+8 (Piercing, Slashing, Bludgeoning) (may also snatch)
Standard Action Attack: +28 Claw 2d6+4 (Piercing, Slashing) (may also snatch)
Standard Action Attack: +28 Wing 1d8+4 (Bludgeoning)
Standard Action Attack: +28 Tail 2d6+12 (Bludgeoning)
Standard Action Crush: This special attack allows Pewta to fly or jump and land on small or smaller creatures. As many are affected as can fit under her body. Small or smaller creatures are pinned and may enjoy it: A DC 28 Reflex save prevents the pinning. Pinned creatures take 2d8+12 bludgeoning damage per round on every round beyond the first. If Pewta maintains the pin beyond the initial crush, she needs to resolve grapple checks as normal.
Standard Action Elemental Breath Weapon: 12d8 Ref 28 1/2, 1d4 recharge
Standard Action Metallic Breath Weapon: Paralyze 1d6+6 rounds Fort 28 Negates, 1d4 recharge
Standard Action Fog Cloud as spell (3/day)
Standard Action initiate a Grapple: Touch Attack +22, Grapple +38 (Pewta will use Snatch instead of doing this normally)

The following are full round actions:
Charge + Bite: +30 Bite 2d8+8 (Piercing, Slashing, Bludgeoning)
Charge + Tail: +30 Tail 2d6+12 (Bludgeoning)
Full Attack Action: +28 (2d8+8), +28 (2d6+4), +28 (2d6+4), +28 (1d8+4), +28 (1d8+4), +28 (2d6+12) (may also snatch)
Full Attack Action (Hover): +28 (2d8+8), +28 (2d6+4), +28 (2d6+4), +28 (2d6+12) (no wing attacks during hover) (may also snatch)

Snatch is a modified version of improved grab. She can attempt it as part of her normal attack cycle, as noted above, but only when using her bite or one of her claws.
Snatch with mouth (large or smaller opponents): +28 Bite (2d8+8), then roll a Grapple Check (+38). On success, Pewta has the creature in her mouth and is grappling. If Pewta uses her cold breath weapon, the creature recieves no reflex save. Instead of a +38, Pewta may simply choose to grapple with just her mouth, recieving a +18 to the grapple check instead. If she succeeds at this, then she may still attack and threaten an area as normal, only giving up her bite attack. If the creature snatched is small or smaller, Pewta deals 2d8+8 bite damage automatically on subsequent rounds. Pewta can drop a creature as a free action, or fling it 1d6x10 feet as a standard action, dealing a like number of d6s of falling damage.
Snatch with claw (large or smaller opponents): +28 Claw (2d6+4), then roll a Grapple Check (+38). On success, Pewta has the creature in her claw and is grappling. Instead of a +38, Pewta may simply choose to grapple with just her claw, recieving a +18 to the grapple check instead. If she succeeds at this, then she may still attack and threaten an area as normal, only giving up that specific claw attack. If the creature snatched is small or smaller, Pewta deals 2d4+4 claw damage automatically on subsequent rounds. Pewta can drop a creature as a free action, or fling it 1d6x10 feet as a standard action, dealing a like number of d6s of falling damage.


Movement Modes:
-Move 40 Feet
-Fly 150 Feet (Good)
-While Flying, Pewta can ascend at any angle, even directly up.
-While Flying, Pewta uses 10 feet of movement to ascend 5 feet, and only 5 feet of movement to descend 5-10 feet.
-Pewta can hover normally- she has no minimum movement when flying (good). While hovering in this fashion, she can make a full attack using even her wings.
-Pewta can change direction in one hex- every 60 (90 on squares) degrees turns costs 5 feet of movement.
-Pewta has the Hover feat, and can stop her movement completely in midair as a move action. After such a stop, she can move directly up or down, selecting a new facing upon reinitiation of movement. If she stays stationary using this feat (for instance, to cause the wind effects below) she can use a full attack while flying, but not using her wings. Regardless of her choice, hovering dragons are very sexy.
-If Pewta uses her hover feat within 20 feet of the ground, and the ground has loose debris, a hemispherical cloud with a radius of 60 feet is generated. Clear vision is limited to 10 feet within the cloud. Creatures have concealment (20% miss chance) at 15 to 20 feet. At 25 feet or more, creatures have total concealment (25% miss chance) and cannot use sight to locate the creature. Anyone casting a spell in the cloud must succeed at a DC 21 Concentration check to cast a spell.
-If Pewta uses her hover feat within 20 feet of the ground, the draft generated by her wings can snuff torches, small campfires, exposed lanterns, and other small, open, non-magical flames, within a 60 foot hemisphere beneath her.

-Frightful Presence (Ex)- Pewta can unsettle foes when she attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 180 feet are subject to the effect if they have less than 22 hit dice. DC 26 Will save negates and grants immunity to the frightful presence for 24 hours. On failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Dragons ignore the frightful presence of other dragons.
-Unlike a normal silver dragon, Pewta lacks spell casting, but she is very cute.

Zem also needs to approve of the language selection. I just sort of picked some that sounded cool, assuming that she learned three as a wyrmling (Draconic plus 2 others because baby silver dragons are smart). Then I bought more with Speak Language. Her skills are of course the most mutable, because there's 275 points of them to go around. She hasn't practiced concentration because she's not a caster. If she's actually really able to cast normally when we don't borrow her, then I'll change that- but as it is, we don't really know her story, so I gave a best guess and made her a decent social butterfly, so she can do something besides just be a gunship. That's a role silver dragons are all about anyway- they have all the good social skills except like Gather Information as class skills.

Weapon Focus: Claw and Weapon Focus: Bite could be argued for as well. I think there are other feats to improve her natural attacks as well, but I just feel like most good dragons don't work on having a really super FIERCE bite. Improved Natural Attack is a good feat for that however: most white dragons I just give them a shit lot of feats like this. With Improved Natural Attack (Bite), her bite would deal 4d6 or 3d8, either of which are way hella good.

Ability Focus: Breath Weapon is a very good feat as well, and could sit in over Shock Wave if no one likes that. That would make her DC on the breath weapon (and oddly her crush) go up by 2, to 28.

Wingover could be replaced with Improved Maneuverability (from the Draconomicon) to boost her maneuver to Average. If she lost one more feat she could improve it to Good, which is braggable. I think Wingover and Hover are good all by themselves, but they are harder to remember- you have to work with poor flight, then think about getting around it. Give her good or average and then suddenly you only have to remember one thing and the end result is almost as cool. Note that at least one is required in order to get the better maneuverability: Hover is the clear winner if we are at average maneuverability, and Wingover is the better one for Good (narrowly). I like Hover better because of the whole wooshy-wing dust cloud thing, personally.

Flyby attack is pretty ok to, and would go well with anything that improves her bite.

If Zem allows Dire Charge (basically a Pounce) that can be good too. I don't recommend this feat as being allowed, however, as I feel true dragons pouncing is seriously just "kill one party member at the start", and giving it to the PCs is simply not going to end well if it's too good for the bad guys. But you may feel differently.

Improved Natural Armor and Dodge are pretty good. Her inability to walk in with Shield active can't be worked around, but I can cast Mage Armor on her normally.

There's an Improved Multiattack which removes the -2 for her secondary attacks. This isn't the best mathematically because I don't know how often she's going to be plugging away with a full attack and have that -2 matter, but it DOES make the dragon easier to play because all her attacks will be at their full bonus.

Note that there's an improved snatch, but she can't take it because snatch has to be her 21st hit die feat. It would otherwise be a pretty good call. Snatch in general is strong, but does invoke grapple rules.

SRSLY?

I spelled out all her possible actions because I want it to be easy to run her in battle. This isn't just a character sheet, it's more of a list of stuff she can do! Dragons can take awhile to run, and with the abilities called out it's always been easier for me.

You're why we can't have nice things.

This is a nice thing! I did all the work so you don't have to! Or worse, Signy! Did you want to spend 275 skill points? No! I sure did though!

This is seriously just a silver dragon man. They live for thousands of years, there's no such thing as a generic one!

If you don't like the two Draconomicon Feats, it's easy to make it just straight out of the Monster Manual. Most of the feats I picked are the ones that the book recommends anyway.

Thanks H.

Either way, I am sure this will be fun for everyone. I know Signy was certainly surprised.

These two clauses are mutually exclusive.

It was a nice thing.

Yes, I am probably going to make some of your more ridiculous feats go away. It was supposed to be a fairly simple dragon mount.

Ok, replace Shock Wave with Flyby Attack, and replace Maximized Breath Weapon with Ability Focus: Breath Weapon. I will update the entry later. That will make it core only (monster manual and PHB).

Do you allow any of the Draconomicon feats? I ask because Improved Multiattack changes her attack bonus to the same number for all attacks, and changing windings to improved maneuverability will allow her to have Average flight which is much easier to play then poor.

I'm fine with something changing flight to Average and increasing the attack bonus.

Let me have you take one step back, though. Before you played, my initial rule was "You get the PHB and one specialty book." That was generally followed. Now you have stacks of books. When it involves "Zem will have to determine whether this will fit in..." I get thoroughly annoyed. That's what I want to avoid. I do not want to judge every feat or spell from every fucking additional source out there. It takes time I do not want to provide. I need to spend a few weeks building Asia. That's more work than I want to do, but it seems necessary. Every so often I consider "...and that's when a meteorite strikes the planet, killing you all instantly." The more "Read this, weigh it against other spells of the same level, determine whether there's a broken combination that's going to happen, ensure wording is perfect regarding free, swift, immediate, standard, move equivalent, economy plus, full round, and one round, make sure the material cost is appropriate, etc" I have to deal with, the closer that meteorite gets.

Marchosias is going to start researching space flight, advanced mining techniques, and something called a "Bruce Willis".

Well, I didn't list any feats I wouldn't allow, and I called out the non core feats. But what they did was right here- no checking of books required.

I'll change the feat list and update the dragon entry when I get home.

Good plan, but you forgot telescopes and astronomy.

I understand you did what you could to make the approval process as easy as possible. In a world where the DM really wants to read through all of this, great. I just don't want to.

Can't I just assume those will eventually be discovered and jump over them for now? This meteor seems to be coming at us awfully fast.

Perhaps I can hire a bunch of wizards who know Time Stop. We'll need lots of successive castings.

What you need is the fucking Hero of Hyrule.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
HUGE FUCKING MOoooON

I was rolling for random personality traits last night. As luck would have it, Pewta has an uncontrolable appetite for evil rogues and Lucky Charms.

Whew! Good thing Marchosias is Neutral.

For today anyway. And are those lucky charms in your pocket?

Nope, forever. My sword is just a plain-old dimension-banishing sword now.

Yer always after me Lucky Charms.

You know that if the DM decides your average attitude is evil, then... well, what you have written on your character sheet is moo.


It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo.



And you're so very close. You know how sometimes an idiot in AutoCAD just eyeballed it and didn't use osnaps? And you have to zoom in, and then zoom in again, just to see that it doesn't quite line up? That's how close to the line you are.

Don't make me stab you.

Make a DC 72 Will save or become a pretty little princess.

Made it.

Also, since I passed the check by 30 or more, it gets reflected back upon the caster. Nice tutu.

I'm not the caster. I'm the DM. I think Marchosias is going to pout if she doesn't get what she wants, but I can deal with that.
