Combat
Dragoth adepts rarely find themselves in combat situations. If they believe combat is imminent, adepts generally send dragoth knights to do their fighting for them or use dragoth workers to delay their attackers while they escape.
Adepts that are forced into combat typically cast powerful offensive spells enhanced by their breath weapon focus ability until they can escape.
Spells: A dragoth adept casts spells as a 5th-level sorcerer.
Breath Weapon Focus (Su): As with the dragoth knights, members of the adept caste have some chromatic dragon blood coursing through their veins—black, blue, green, red, or white. These colors represent the adept’s inner nature and powers. Also, as with the dragoth knights, a select few adepts (5%) are called chromatic adepts and have the scale colorations of all five chromatic dragons, making them more powerful than their brethren.
Dragoth adepts have the ability to channel magical forces through their spells up to three times per day. When an adept mentally summons the focused energy and casts a spell, the spell is amplified as though the adept was using the Empower Spell metamagic feat. This only works if the spell’s damage type is compatible with the adept’s draconic heritage, as shown on the next page.
| Dragoth Variety | Compatible Damage Type |
|---|---|
| Black/Green | Acid |
| Blue | Electricity |
| Red | Fire |
| White | Cold |
| Chromatic | Any of the above |
Resistances (Ex): Dragoth adepts have resistances of 15 to the following damage types, depending upon their scale coloration: black or green: acid; blue: electricity; red: fire;
white: cold. Chromatic adepts have resistance 15 to all these damage types.
