Combat
Breath Weapon (Su): A prismatic dragon has one of breath weapon, a prismatic spray effect. The breath weapon’s cone is of the size indicated by the dragon’s size, not the normal cone for the spell.
Deflecting Force (Su): A prismatic dragon is protected by a shield of shimmering light similar to a cloak of chaos that provides a deflection bonus to its AC. The deflection bonus is equal to the dragon’s Charisma bonus.
Immune to Light and Blindness (Ex): Prismatic dragons cannot be harmed by any light, including Evocation [Light] spells, searing light, and the various prismatic (sphere, spray, wall) spells. In addition, they are immune to any spell or effect that causes blindness.
Spell-Like At will—hypnotic pattern, rainbow pattern; 3/day—prismatic sphere, prismatic wall, sunbeam, sunburst. The DC is Charisma-based.
