Unofficial Description: Blue Dragon over 100 years old.


Variant: Dragons as Innate Spellcasters[edit]

[4] Many dragons have the ability to innately cast spells. Their Spellcasting Ability is Charisma, which also determines the number of spells it can cast.


Blue Dragon's Lair

[6] Blue dragons dig their lairs of "crystalized caverns and tunnels"[5] in isolated, barren lands.

Lair Actions

[6] When fighting inside its lair, an blue dragon can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • Ceiling Collapses
  • Cloud of Sand
  • Lightning Arcs
  • Thunderstorms
  • Dust Devils
  • Hidden Sinkholes

If the dragon dies, the effects fade over 1d10 days.
