Dragon Form
Dragon Form
Level 6
Concentrate
An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
Manipulate
You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can’t perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
Polymorph
These effects transform the target into a new form. A target can't be under the effect of more than one polymorph effect at a time. If it comes under the effect of a second polymorph effect, the second polymorph effect attempts to [counteract](/Rules.aspx?ID=371) the first. If it succeeds, it takes effect, and if it fails, the spell has no effect on that target. Any Strikes specifically granted by a polymorph effect are [magical](/Traits.aspx?ID=103). Unless otherwise stated, polymorph spells don't allow the target to take on the appearance of a specific individual creature, but rather just a generic creature of a general type or ancestry.
If you take on a battle form with a polymorph spell, the special statistics can be adjusted only by circumstance bonuses, status bonuses, and penalties. Unless otherwise noted, the battle form prevents you from casting spells, speaking, and using most [manipulate](/Traits.aspx?ID=104) actions that require hands. (If there's doubt about whether you can use an action, the GM decides.) Your gear is absorbed into you; the constant abilities of your gear still function, but you can't activate any items.

While in this form, you gain the dragon trait. You have hands in this battle form and can take manipulate actions. You can Dismiss the spell.
You gain the following statistics and abilities regardless of which battle form you choose:
- AC = 18 + your level. Ignore your armor’s check penalty and Speed reduction.
- 10 temporary Hit Points.

- Darkvision and imprecise scent 60 feet.
- The following unarmed melee attacks, which are the only attacks you can Strike with. You’re trained with them. Your attack modifier is +22, and your damage bonus is +6.

- Dragon Breath
You exhale deadly magical energy in an area, dealing 10d6 damage to each creature in the area with a basic save against your spell DC. The shape, damage type, and save type match that of your chosen dragon’s breath. If the chosen dragon’s breath can deal more than one type of damage, choose one when you cast dragon form. The shape is a 30-foot cone or a 100- foot line. Once activated, Dragon Breath can’t be used again for 1d4 rounds. Dragon Breath has the tradition trait matching the type of dragon and the damage trait matching the type of damage it deals, if applicable. - Tradition Resistance If the dragon’s magical tradition matches that of your dragon form spell, you gain the listed ability. Arcane resistance 5 against magic; divine resistance 10 to spirit, vitality, and void; occult resistance 10 to mental; primal resistance 5 to physical damage.
