Breath Weapon (acid, arcane, evocation) The dragon breathes a spray of acid that deals 17d6 acid damage in a 100-foot line (DC 39 basic Reflex save). It can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Corrupt Water (arcane, concentrate, necromancy) Frequency once per day; Effect The dragon permanently befouls 10 cubic feet of liquid within 90 feet. The liquid becomes undrinkable and unable to support water-breathing life. This destroys liquid magic or alchemical items if they're of a lower level than the dragon (a creature can attempt a DC 35 Will save to protect liquids in its possession). This doesn't affect the liquids in a creature's body.
Draconic Frenzy The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one horns Strike in any order.
Draconic Momentum The dragon recharges its Breath Weapon whenever it scores a critical hit with a Strike.
