A chimera is about 5 feet tall at the shoulder, nearly 10 feet long, and weighs about 4,000 pounds. A chimera’s dragon head might be black, blue, green, red, or white.
Chimeras can speak Draconic but seldom bother to do so, except when they risk dying to more powerful creatures.
COMBAT[править]
The chimera prefers to surprise prey. It often swoops down from the sky or lies concealed until it charges. The dragon head can loose a breath weapon instead of biting. Several chimeras attack in concert.
Breath Weapon (Su): A chimera’s breath weapon depends on the color of its dragon head, as summarized on the table below. Regardless of its type, a chimera’s breath weapon is usable once every 1d4 rounds, deals 3d8 points of damage, and allows a DC 17 Reflex save for half damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.
To determine a chimera’s head color and breath weapon randomly, roll 1d10 and consult the table below.
| 1d10 | Head Color | Breath Weapon |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Black | 40-foot line of acid |
| 3–4 | Blue | 40-foot line of lightning |
| 5–6 | Green | 20-foot cone of gas (acid) |
| 7–8 | Red | 20-foot cone of fire |
| 9–10 | White | 20-foot cone of cold |
Skills: A chimera’s three heads give it a +2 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks.
- In areas of scrubland or brush, a chimera gains a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a chimera is up to 348 pounds; a medium load, 349–699 pounds, and a heavy load, 700–1,050 pounds.
