Can also cast druid spells as arcane spells.

The dragon is sleek and sinuous its scales glistening in the moonlight. The dragon’s scales are reddish brown with darker yellow-green bands along the dragon’s neck, back, and tail. The dragon’s head is thin and long, with two long horns point backwards from its head, and a single long horn on its snout. A sticky red-brown substance drips from the creature’s fangs. The creature spreads its large wings, and then suddenly it fades from view. Amber dragons, sometimes also called blink dragons, are a race of neutral dragons that live in harmony with nature. On hatching an amber dragon's scales are light brown and soft, but they quickly harden and take on the red-brown hue of amber. As the dragon matures the color deepens and yellow-green bands start to form on the dragons back. Amber dragons dwell in large hollows in their native forests, often digging out a deep burrow beneath a large oak or similar tree, but they are not adverse to lair in natural caverns if such are available in their forested homes. Smaller specimens have been known to lair in hollowed out trees. They generally get along well with druids and fey, but have a strong dislike for orcs. Some exceptional amber dragons even gain levels in the druid class. Amber dragons primarily eat woodland animals and plants, being careful not to over-hunt any particular creature in their habitat, a few amber dragons however, gain a taste for the flesh of sentient beings, but these are few and fare between. Combat Amber dragons prefer to use their cunning and trickery to take down their foes, using their blink ability combined with their breath weapon to gain the upper hand. If seriously threatened it is not adverse to fleeing, just to come back later and using hit and run tactics. Breath Weapon (Su): The amber dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of superheated and very sticky sap that deals fire damage, those that fail their save against the breath weapon are entangled for 1d4 rounds per age category of the dragon. An entangled creature can make an opposed strength check against the breath weapons DC to break free as a standard action. Creatures that are immune to fire must still make a save against the breath weapon to avoid getting entangled. Blink (Sp): A very young or older amber dragon can use this ability as the spell once per day for each two age categories it is, thus an adult amber dragon can use the ability three times per day. This is as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the dragon’s age category or its caster level whichever is higher. The range is personal. Wild Shape (Su): A young adult or older amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses. It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. Thus a very old amber dragon could wild shape up to four times per day and has access to four different animal forms of tiny to huge size to choose from. If the 3

dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon. Skills: Climb, Jump, and Survival are class skills for amber dragons. 1995 Wizards of the Coast, Inc. Originally found in Monstrous Compendium Annual 3

Breath Weapon (Su): The amber dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of superheated and very sticky sap that deals fire damage, those that fail their save against the breath weapon are 13

entangled for 1d4 rounds per age category of the dragon. An entangled creature can make an opposed strength check against the breath weapons DC to break free as a standard action. Creatures that are immune to fire must still make a save against the breath weapon to avoid getting entangled. Blindsense (Ex): Dragons can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents the dragon can’t actually see still have total concealment against the dragon. Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet. Blink (Sp): This is as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the dragon’s age category or its caster level whichever is higher. The range is personal. Wild Shape (Su): A amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses. It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon.

Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet. Blink (Sp): A very young or older amber dragon can use this ability as the spell once per day for each two age categories it is, thus an adult amber dragon can use the ability three times per day. This is as the spell cast by a sorcerer of the dragon’s age category or its caster level whichever is higher. The range is personal. Wild Shape (Su): A young adult or older amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses. It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. Thus a very old amber dragon could wild shape up to four times per day and has access to four different animal forms of tiny to huge size to choose from. If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon. Skills: Climb, Jump, and Survival are class skills for amber dragons. Crush (Ex): Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon (though it can attempt normal overrun or grapple attacks against larger opponents). A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under the dragon’s body. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the dragon moves off them. If the dragon chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents take damage from the crush each round if they don’t escape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon.

SPECIAL ABILITIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Breath Weapon (Su): The amber dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of superheated and very sticky sap that deals fire damage, those that fail their save against the breath weapon are entangled for 1d4 rounds per age category of the dragon. An entangled creature can make an opposed strength check against the breath weapons DC to break free as a standard action. Creatures that are immune to fire must still make a save against the breath weapon to avoid getting entangled. Blindsense (Ex): Dragons can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents the dragon can’t actually see still have total concealment against the dragon. Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet. Blink (Sp): A amber dragon can use this ability as the spell once per day for each two age categories. The range is personal. Wild Shape (Su): A amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses. It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. Thus a very old amber dragon could wild shape up to four times per day and has access to four different animal forms of tiny to huge size to choose from. If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon.

Rebma's story. When Rebma was a hatchling (under a year old) her parents and hatchlings were all killed by a massive army of goblinoids, worgs, and orcs under the command of Ktaesab, a giant hobgoblin? She was able to escape into the deepest forest because her parents stood their ground for the hatchling to escape. She was the only one that did. Rebma fled in until she was exsusted. The next day when she woke other woodland creatures that had fled the goblinoid army surrounded her. A kindly old druid tredent had pity on her and trained her to be a druid, so she could better defend the forest. She hates goblinoids, worgs, orcs, and any that associate with them. If she can tell that a party member is a half-orc she hates the party also.

If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the animal companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the animal again, even if it returns to the druid before the duration expires. Additionally, the druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid and her animal companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal). Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL ABILITIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Breath Weapon (Su): The amber dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of superheated and very sticky sap that deals fire damage, those that fail their save against the breath weapon are entangled for 3d4 rounds. An entangled creature can make an opposed strength check against the breath weapons DC to break free as a standard action. Creatures that are immune to fire must still make a save against the breath weapon to avoid getting entangled. Blindsense (Ex): Dragons can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents the dragon can’t actually see still have total concealment against the dragon. Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet. Blink (Sp): (PH p206) Trans, VS, 1StdAct, Personal, 1rnd/lvl(D) The caster flashes in & out of the Ethereal plane at random. The caster a) has a 20% chance of losing each attack or spell; b) has a 50% chance of any attack or spell targeting her being lost (20% if the attacker can see Invisible –or– can target Ethereal creatures, no chance of missing if the opponent can do both). Note that Feat: Blind-Fight does not apply when fighting a blinking opponent; c) takes ½ damage from area-of-effect attacks & falling; d) can only move ¾ of normal; e) can step through solid matter with a 50% chance of becoming solid per 5’ (taking 1d6 damage per 5’ if becomes solid & is shunted to the closest available space); and f) attacks as if Invisible, gaining a +2 attack bonus, and sneak attack damage typically applies. g) able to attack creatures in the Ethereal plane with a 20% chance of loosing the attack or spell. Skills: Climb, Jump, and Survival are class skills for amber dragons.

The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion. Share Spells (Ex): At the druid’s option, she may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) she casts upon herself also affect her animal companion. The animal companion must be within 5 feet of her at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the animal companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the animal again, even if it returns to the druid before the duration expires. Additionally, the druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid and her animal companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal). Evasion (Ex): If an animal companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw. Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check. Woodland Stride (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her. 37

Trackless Step (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, a druid leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet. Blink (Sp): (PH p206) Trans, VS, 1StdAct, Personal, 1rnd/lvl(D) The caster flashes in & out of the Ethereal plane at random. The caster a) has a 20% chance of losing each attack or spell; b) has a 50% chance of any attack or spell targeting her being lost (20% if the attacker can see Invisible –or– can target Ethereal creatures, no chance of missing if the opponent can do both). Note that Feat: Blind-Fight does not apply when fighting a blinking opponent; c) takes ½ damage from area-of-effect attacks & falling; d) can only move ¾ of normal; e) can step through solid matter with a 50% chance of becoming solid per 5’ (taking 1d6 damage per 5’ if becomes solid & is shunted to the closest available space); and f) attacks as if Invisible, gaining a +2 attack bonus, and sneak attack damage typically applies. g) able to attack creatures in the Ethereal plane with a 20% chance of loosing the attack or spell. Wild Shape (Su): (Druid 1 + Amber Dragon 1) A amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses. It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon. Skills: Climb, Jump, and Survival are class skills for amber dragons.

The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion. Share Spells (Ex): At the druid’s option, she may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) she casts upon herself also affect her animal companion. The animal companion must be within 5 feet of her at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the animal companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the animal again, even if it returns to the druid before the duration expires.

Additionally, the druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid and her animal companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal). Devotion (Ex): An animal companion gains a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects. Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check. Woodland Stride (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her. Resist Nature’s Lure (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a druid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like abilities of fey. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

TACTICS ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Before Combat Rebma will watch all intruders of her the forest to see if they are forest friendly (i.e. Use dead wood for fires etc.). She will use her animal companion, cohort, and her wildshape ability to spy. She will always plan attacks against orcs and goblinoids. During Combat Rebma prefers to use her cunning and trickery to take down her foes, using her blink ability combined with her breath weapon and spell ability to gain the upper hand. If the foe is to strong for her to confront, she will sabotage their camp by letting their animals go at night, spoiling there stored clothing, food, and water. Morale If seriously threatened Rebma is not averse to fleeing, just to come back later and using hit and run tactics. She will never stop harassing foes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL ABILITIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Breath Weapon (Su): The amber dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of superheated and very sticky sap that deals fire damage, those that fail their save against the breath weapon are entangled for 6d4 rounds. An entangled creature can make an opposed strength check against the breath weapons DC to break free as a standard action. Creatures that are immune to fire must still make a save against the breath weapon to avoid getting entangled. Blindsense (Ex): Dragons can pinpoint creatures within a distance of 60 feet. Opponents the dragon can’t actually see still have total concealment against the dragon. Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet. Blink (Sp): (PH p206) Trans, VS, 1StdAct, Personal, 1rnd/lvl(D) The caster flashes in & out of the Ethereal plane at random. The caster a) has a 20% chance of losing each attack or spell; b) has a 50% chance of any attack or spell targeting her being lost (20% if the attacker can see Invisible –or– can target Ethereal creatures, no chance of missing if the opponent can do both). Note that Feat: Blind-Fight does not apply when fighting a blinking opponent; c) takes ½ damage from area-of-effect attacks & falling; d) can only move ¾ of normal; e) can step through solid matter with a 50% chance of becoming solid per 5’ (taking 1d6 damage per 5’ if becomes solid & is shunted to the closest available space); and f) attacks as if Invisible, gaining a +2 attack bonus, and sneak attack damage typically applies. g) able to attack creatures in the Ethereal plane with a 20% chance of loosing the attack or spell. Wild Shape (Su): (Druid 5+ Amber Dragon 4) A amber dragon can wild shape just as a druid of the same caster level, with the following restriction: The amber dragon can only assume animal shapes of tiny to huge size, and it can only choose one animal form for each use of wild shape it possesses. It need not use each wild shape use on a different animal. If the dragon later gains the wild shape ability from class 65

levels, the uses per day stack and it uses the limitations of its innate ability or the class, whichever is better for the dragon. A druid at 12th lvl can assume plant form. At 18th lvl can assume elemental form 2/day. Skills: Climb, Jump, and Survival are class skills for amber dragons. Animal Companion (Ex): Kwah: Hawk CR --, Tiny Animal, Init +10; Senses low-light vision; Listen +6, Spot +22; AC 32, touch 18, flat-footed 26 (+2 size, +6 Dex, +14 natural); hp 52 (13 HD); Fort +8, Ref +14, Will +6; Spd 10 ft., fly 60 ft. (average); Melee Talons +5 (1d4-2); Space 2-1/2 ft.; Reach 0 ft.; Base Atk +9; Grp −10; Str 12, Dex 23, Con 10, Int 2, Wis 14, Cha 6; Feats Improved EvasionB, Improved Init., EvasionB, Flyby Attack, MultiattackB, Weapon Finesse, Wingover; Skills Listen +6, Spot +22; SQ Link, share spells, Devotion Link (Ex): A druid can handle her animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if she doesn’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion. Share Spells (Ex): At the druid’s option, she may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) she casts upon herself also affect her animal companion. The animal companion must be within 5 feet of her at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the animal companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the animal again, even if it returns to the druid before the duration expires. Additionally, the druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid and her animal companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal). Devotion (Ex): An animal companion gains a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects. Multiattack: An animal companion gains Multiattack as a bonus feat if it has three or more natural attacks and does not already have that feat. If it does not have the requisite three or more natural attacks, the animal companion instead gains a second attack with its primary natural weapon, albeit at a –5 penalty. Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check. Woodland Stride (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her. Resist Nature’s Lure (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a druid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like abilities of fey. Venom Immunity (Ex): At 9th level, a druid gains immunity to all poisons. A Thousand Faces (Su): At 13th level, a druid gains the ability to change her appearance at will, as if using the alter self spell, but only while in her normal form. Timeless Body (Ex): After attaining 15th level, a druid no longer takes ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any penalties she may have already incurred, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the druid still dies of old age when her time is up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
