Unofficial Description: Blue Dragon over 100 years old.
Variant: Dragons as Innate Spellcasters
[4] Many dragons have the ability to innately cast spells. Their Spellcasting Ability is Charisma, which also determines the number of spells it can cast.
Blue Dragon's Lair
[6] Blue dragons dig their lairs of "crystalized caverns and tunnels"[5] in isolated, barren lands.
Lair Actions
[6] When fighting inside its lair, an blue dragon can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Ceiling Collapses
- Cloud of Sand
- Lightning Arcs
- Thunderstorms
- Dust Devils
- Hidden Sinkholes
If the dragon dies, the effects fade over 1d10 days.
