You see a wingless dragon with a forward-pointing horn above each eye and another on the tip of its snout. A line of spikes runs down its back. The muscles of its limbs bulge beneath its shiny scales.
Cold iron dragons are the descendents of a dragon population which sacrificed most of their magical abilities in pursuit of physical power and the ability to counter the magic of others. This has resulted in them being rather distrustful of magic and highly militaristic. They also tend to be rather gruff compared to most metallic dragons and those that aren’t good are usually aggressive and highly territorial. They also tend to be show offs, especially when it comes to acrobatics. Some researchers believe that this is overcompensation due to their inability to fly. Cold iron dragons tend to be long and flexible with muscular legs. On hatching, they have dull grey scales which gain a metallic sheen as they get older. The older dragons eventually start developing a reddish tint. Cold iron dragons love to climb and jump and therefore tend to lair in craggy areas. Cold iron dragons will occasionally use their alternate form ability to join a humanoid military, they enjoy the opportunity to use armour and weapons which they are highly appreciative of. Cold iron dragons mainly eat meat.
Combat
A cold iron dragon will normally leap down from above in order to shock and impress trespassers if it is able to. If it has decided to attack beforehand then it will attempt to land upon its victim. Cold iron dragons are melee combatants and fight as such, using their breath and spell-like abilities to neutralize magical threats. Those old enough to know maneuvers will not hesitate to use them if they believe that they will be helpful.
Winglessness (Ex): Cold iron dragons lack wings and therefore, unlike most dragons, can neither fly, nor use wing attacks.
Antimagic presence (Su): Instead of a frightful presence, cold iron dragons have an antimagic presence which acts like an antimagic field, null psionics field and soulless waste (Magic of Incarnum). The dragon can deactivate its presence as a free action (and needs to do so to use any of its spell-like or supernatural abilities such as DR other than its breath weapon) and reactivate it as a swift action. Anything that is immune to a dragon’s frightful presence due to it being a draconic presence (eg. dragons) rather than it being a far effect is also immune to this presence.
Maneuvers: Instead of learning spells as a sorcerer, cold-iron dragons learn maneuvers and stances as a warblade of their initiator level. A cold iron dragon's natural weapons are treated as assosciated weapons for all warblade disciplines and overcome DR as if they were made of cold iron.
Breath weapon (Su): A cold iron dragon’s breath weapon is a line of dispelling. This acts as a dispel magic/greater dispel magic except that it applies to everything in the area of effect (which is now a line) and there is no caster level cap. This breath weapon is not suppressed by antimagic presence.
Alternate form (Su): A cold iron dragon with its presence inactive may assume the form of a humanoid of medium size or smaller and return to normal up to three times per day. The dragon can remain in its humanoid form until it wishes to adopt a new form or return to its normal form.
Dragon’s disjunction (Sp): This ability works exactly like Mage’s disjunction except items are merely suppressed as if in an antimagic field for a number of rounds equal to the dragon’s charisma modifier (minimum 1).
Other Spell-like Abilities: 3/day - Remove curse (adult or older); 3/day - Break enchantment (old or older); 1/day - Spell turning (ancient or older).
Skills: Balance, jump and martial lore are class skills for cold iron dragons.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Just looking over it:
Normally DR X/magic is a supernatural ability and thus completely loss in an antimagic field. So it might be better just to note that due to their DR being Supernatural it is also negated when their aura is active.
Otherwise:
Spell-like Abilities: Normally go off Age Category or Sorcerer level whichever is higher. I assume this would go off of either Age Category or Initiator level but you might should note that, or note that it goes off of something else (breath weapon caster level?).
No fly speed makes me sad since I love the image of a flying dragon, otherwise why Spider Climb instead of just a Climb Speed?
Edit: Also do they get stances or just strikes/boosts/counters? The two progressions are half-seperated so I'm not sure which way is intended.Last edited by Zaydos; 2010-01-03 at 11:25 PM.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Ok, I have to go soon but I'll just quickly reply first.
Yikes, I forgot about that! Do you think that it would be better to give them a different type of DR, say that it is an exception or just go with your originol suggestion?
Otherwise:
Spell-like Abilities: Normally go off Age Category or Sorcerer level whichever is higher. I assume this would go off of either Age Category or Initiator level but you might should note that, or note that it goes off of something else (breath weapon caster level?).

Oh, and I should probably credit DracoDei, his Beige dragon inspired some of the later changes. In fact I'll edit that in now.The Good Cat Mistress shall show mercy to her servants

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
This is pretty awesome. One suggestion about the DR: Consider making it DR/Warheart, to reflect its martial inclinations. High level adventurers are likely to carry enchanted weapons, but might not be as likely to have warheart weapons. You can rule that this type of DR is Extraordinary in nature, and perhaps also rule that all martial maneuvers (regardless of whether they are delivered via a warheart weapon) bypass this kind of DR.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
For the DR thing I'd say it depends upon what power you want them at. Fluff-wise I could see them with DR X/adamantine but that is more powerful than having them have to choose between DR and antimagic.
Another question: do they still have wings? If so you might want to give some explanation of why they cannot fly (such as they are weak and vestigial) possibly with an additional reduction to damage from wing attacks and a racial bonus to jump checks (even possibly a glide speed). If not you may need to note that they lack the wing attacks of normal dragons (which makes them a little weaker, but most Strikes can't be used with full attacks anyway).
I figured spider climb came from copper dragons, just thought a climb speed might be more accurate to the fluff.Peanut Half-Dragon Necromancer by Kurien.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
I'd encourage a fly speed. I'm planning to rewrite and repost my ToB PrC for Dragons fairly soon, and it has flyby attack as a prerequisite.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Thank you for giving me credit... but it would also be nice to know what I did in the first place.
If it was swapping out the frightful presence, then that was in my turn inspired by the Dragon Ascendant PrC in Draconomicon.[Public Service Announcement]P.E.A.C.H stands for Please Examine And Critique Honestly[/Public Service Announcement]

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Instead of posting a whole new thread, I'll just ask here where you ToB experts can answer directly.
I'm looking for a discipline that is focused on ranged combat. What is it called? Where can I find it?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
You probably need to explicitly state that their natural weapons are considered associated for all disciplines.
Also, I think that giving them flight would be a mistake, if no other reason than because it would be a bit of fridge logic when they also have ranks in Jump if they take up Tiger Claw... speaking of which they need a non-standard set of racial skills to spend their skill points on.Last edited by DracoDei; 2010-01-04 at 01:26 AM.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Just change the CR to be that of a greater dragon (like a red or silver) and tone down the SR appropriately. The great wyrm wouldn't even be a speedbump to a level 30 party.
Sure it's tough but at epic levels? Even CR 27 is a stretch for it (just so you know, all metallic dragons and the red dragons qualify for epic spellcasting at great wyrm).

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Given that Dragon Magazine's adamantine dragon's natural weapons count as adamantine for the purposes of ignoring DR and hardness, I'd say that this dragon's natural weapons should count as cold-iron.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Oh. Ok, I see what you mean then. I don't own Dragons of Eberron though. And I actually started designing this dragon back when I played 2nd edition so the ToB stuff wasn't the major concern. It just seemed to fit so well once I finally read ToB.
EDIT: elliot20 requested a list of typical manuevers known, so I threw something together but my optimisation skills = no. Therefore, if someone can see any changes that would be appropriate I'd be glad to listen to your advice.Last edited by Sereg; 2010-01-05 at 08:22 AM.

Before I forget: Regarding the "Master of Nine Claws" PrC, in any game I ran I would just make an exception to the rule that they have to be able to fly to take it.

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
Thanks DracoDei, you make an excellent suggestion. Is that, by the way an indication that you would use this dragon. If so, I must say that I too would love to get feedback on how my creations fare.
Also, any other comments about the maneuver list and/or initiator level? Those are what I am most concerned about at the moment. Or any other questions/comments at all?
Incidentally, I’d love to do a half-dragon template, but…I’m uncertain as to what changes are appropriate. Obviously I’ll have to remove the wings for Large/larger creatures, but what about things like breath weapon?
Another thing, back when I was still thinking about posting this, I wondered if anyone would ask me if I was thinking of doing an alchemical silver equivalent. Well, I have thought of something, but of course we already have a silver dragon. So I was wondering, should it be called alchemical silver, true silver, silvered or something else that I have yet to think of?

Argent Dragon maybe? Argentum is the Latin for Silver.

I have no particular plans to use it. I just don't plan that far in advance with my current campaign.
If I do... well, my campaign logs are linked from my extended signature.[Public Service Announcement]P.E.A.C.H stands for Please Examine And Critique Honestly[/Public Service Announcement]

Re: Cold Iron Dragon (3.5, ToB dragon)
In 4E Draconomicon 2, it states that metallic dragons contain the relevant metal in their claws, scales, blood, etc.
So a silver dragon's scales and claws are basically full of silver.
So it might not be that much of a stretch to import it back into 3.5 ed and say
"Optional houserule- Silver dragon natural attacks count as silvered weapons for the purposes of overcoming DR/silver (or DR/any combination that involves silver- such as DR/epic, good, and silver)"Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine
