Onyx Dragon Breath (Evocation) (Alchemy) Level: 7 Range: Varies Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 3 Duration: 3 rds. Area of Effect: Varies Saving Throw: Special The onyx dragon's breath weapon is a cloud of inky black acid, all foulness and corruption.It has two effects. The first, identical to the [[Black Dragon Breath]], is a stream of deadly, corrosive acid (half damage if a saving throw vs. breath weapon is successful). The second effect comes into play only if the first saving throw is missed: the victim must make a second saving throw - this time vs. spell - or a [[Darkness 15' Radius]]spell effect (15-foot radius) appears, centered on the victim. It moves as he moves. It can be countered by a _light_ spell, or removed by _dispel magic_ (use the dragon's age category as the opposing caster level); otherwise, it remains for 1 round per Hit Die of the dragon. This _darkness_ is a special type through which the dragon can easily see; it otherwise functions exactly as a normal _darkness_ spell. If the second saving throw is successful, the _darkness_ remains, but is not tied to the target; the victim can move and escape it. | Caster Level | Dragon Age | Breath Damage | | ------------ | ---------- | ------------- | | 14 | 4 | 8d4+4 | | 15-17 | 5 | 10d4+5 | | 18-20 | 6 | 12d4+6 | | 21-23 | 7 | 14d4+7 | | 24+ | 8 | 16d4+8 | [[Dragon Breath (overview)]]
