Conversion Notes: This package represents the minimum abilities of a young (16 to 25 year old) brass dragon from the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons role playing game. This write-up uses Champions 5th edition rules.
Brass dragons are one of the smaller common dragon types. Although it can survive in any climate, it prefers hot deserts. They can breath a cone of sleep gas or a cloud of blistering heat. They can also attack with their powerful claws and bite. They can speak with animals at will. Upon reaching 16 years of age a brass dragon can magically create or destroy water three times per day at will.
Although generally considered a good, if chaotic, race of dragons, player characters can play any alignment. The major enemies of the brass dragon include blue dragons, brown dragons and sand dragons.
Brass dragons are great talkers, but not particularly good conversationalists. They are egotistical and often boorish. They oftern have useful information, but will divulge it only after drifting off the subject many times and after hints that a gift would be appreciated.
At birth, a brass dragon's scales are dull. Their color is a brassy, mottled brown. As the dragon gets older, the scales become more brassy, until they reach a warm burnished appearance.
Their favorite food is dew drops. Like most dragons they can live for over 1000 years, sense the presence of invisible things, see in the dark, are immune to sleep and hold spells, and have large wings which allow flight.
The eggs of brass dragons can be corrupted with evil magic to create baaz draconians.
