A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

For description see: White Dragon.


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.


White Dragon's Lair

[5] White dragons lair in icy caves and other deep chambers.

Lair Actions

[5] When fighting inside its lair, an white 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:

  • Freezing Fog
  • Jagged Ice Shards
  • Opaque Wall of Ice

Regional Effects

[5] The region around a white dragon's lair

  • Chilly, Obscuring Fog
  • Freezing Precipitation
  • Icy Walls

If the dragon dies, effects fade within 1-10 days.
