At birth, a brass dragon’s scales are a dull, mottled brown. As the dragon gets older, the scales become more brassy until they reach a warm, burnished appearance. The grand head-plates of a brass dragon are smooth and metallic, and it sports bladed chin horns that grow sharper with age. Wings and frills are mottled green toward the edges, darkening with age. As the dragon grows older, its pupils fade until the eyes resemble molten metal orbs.

===Combat===
Brass dragons would rather talk than fight. If an intelligent creature tries to leave without engaging in conversation, the dragon might force compliance in a fit of pique, using ''[[SRD:Suggestion|suggestion]]'' or a dose of ''[[SRD:Sleep|sleep]]'' gas. A creature put to [[SRD:Sleep|sleep]] may wake to find itself [[SRD:Pinned|pinned]] or buried to the neck in the sand until the dragon’s thirst for small talk is slaked. When faced with real danger, younger brass dragons fly out of sight, then hide by burrowing into the sand. Older dragons spurn this ploy but still prefer to have the advantage in combat.

'''[[SRD:Breath Weapon|Breath Weapon]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A brass dragon has two types of [[SRD:Breath Weapon|breath weapon]], a line of fire and a cone of ''[[SRD:Sleep|sleep]]''. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] or fall a[[SRD:Sleep|sleep]], regardless of [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], for 1d6 rounds plus 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] per age category of the dragon.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Speak with Animals|speak with animals]];'' 3/day—''[[SRD:Endure Elements|endure elements]]'' (juvenile or older; radius 10 ft. x dragon’s age category); 1/day—''[[SRD:Suggestion|suggestion]]'' (adult or older), ''[[SRD:Control Winds|control winds]]'' (old or older), ''[[SRD:Control Weather|control weather]]'' (ancient or older).

'''''{{Anchor|Summon Djinni}}'' ([[SRD:Sp|Sp]]):''' This ability, usable by a great wyrm brass dragon, works like a ''[[SRD:Summon Monster I|summon monster]]'' spell, except that it summons one [[SRD:Djinni|djinni]]. This ability is the equivalent of a 7th-level spell.  

[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]] [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]], [[SRD:Gather Information Skill|Gather Information]], and [[SRD:Survival Skill|Survival]] are considered [[SRD:Class|class]] skills for brass dragons.
