Brass Dragon Good

Boisterous, proud talkers of the hot, sandy lands.

Like blue dragons, brasses favor arid, sandy regions where the hot sun can properly toast their shiny scales. Although good-natured, these dragons are selfish, boisterous and overly proud. Their weakness is their desire for small talk, and because they know dozens of languages it is easy for them to find other creatures with whom to converse. Despite their love for gab, brass dragons have little interest in art or culture.

They are benevolent and understanding, but they ultimately believe the weak should be weeded from the strong and superior beings allowed to flourish. Brass dragons prefer to attack with their claws and teeth, saving their magic for dire situations. They can choose between breathing a cloud of sleeping gas or a wave of heat.

Dragon Breath
Acid and lightning breath strike a single victim, while gas, fire and frost wash over every creature in the room. Fire and frost can break objects, lightning can melt jewelry, gas poisons food and drink, and acid weakens the protection armor offers.

Immunities and resistances

  • Immune: its own breath weapon. Each metallic dragon comes with its breath weapon and immunity to it (named for brass, bronze, copper, gold and silver). (change note 6 (1998-06-12))

Dragonskin set bonus

Wearing the full set of crafted Brass dragonskin armor: Successful attacks occasionally inflict Slow on the opponent.

Later change: Reworked so the Slow behaves as a temporary magical effect that plays with other magic instead of lingering; the note gives no numbers. (change note 2026090302 (2026-09-03))

change note 1150 (2026-08-13). No bonus has a published size; the notes say "occasionally", "a solid chance" and "a small chance". How sets work: dragonskin sets.
