Water dragons are extremely fluid creatures, in form and
personality. They are quick to change from one emotion to
another, forming an opinion of someone at first glance, then
quickly changing it as the situation warrants. They are
quick to anger and quick to forgive.
Water dragons look like cloud dragons made of pure water.
They always blend in perfectly with the water they are in,
whether it is the clear water of the Elemental Plane of
Water, the murky depths of an ocean, or the crystal blue
waters of a flowing river. While in water they are
effectively invisible. When on land, water dragons take on a
slight blue hue, but they are clear overall.
Water dragons speak their own tongue, as well as the
tongues of water elementals and that common to all elemental
dragons. At birth, 16% of earth dragons can speak with any
intelligent creature. This chance goes up by 5% per age
category.
Combat: Water dragons
are effective fighters both in the water and on land. While
in water, they prefer to sneak up on potential opponents,
gauging their actions and seeing if they act in a hostile
manner. When they are on land, they have the disadvantage of
being seeable, but their watery nature makes up for
this.
Breath Weapon/Special
Abilities: A water dragon's breath weapon is a
stream of water that is 5' wide and extends 60' in a
straight direction. Creatures hit by the stream must save
vs. breath weapon stunned for 1d6 rounds from the force, as
well as taking the listed damage. Creatures who make their
save are still knocked to the ground for 1 round and take
half damage.
- A water dragon casts spells and uses its magical
abilities at 15th level plus its combat modifier.

- Water dragons are born immune to water,
water-affecting spells (such as transmute water to
dust), acid, and energy-draining. They take half
damage from electricity and double damage from fire.
Spells which induce cold (such as cone of cold),
inflict normal damage, but act as a slow spell
cast upon the dragon.
- While in any sufficiently large body of water (at
least large enough to cover their bodies), water dragons
are invisible. If kept out of water for more than a day,
they begin to evaporate, losing 1d4 hit points per hour
out of the water. If they return to a sufficiently large
body of water (such as a lake or river), they immediately
regain the lost hit points. Normal weapons don't affect
water dragons, they pass through their bodies harmlessly.
Magical weapons of less than +2 enchantment only inflict
half damage.
- As they age, they gain the following abilities: Very
Young: create water at will. Young Adult:
transmute dust to water three times per day.
Mature Adult: airy water three times per day. Very
Old: part water three times per day. Wyrm:
summon water elemental three times per day. Great
Wyrm: tsunami three times per day.
Habitat/Society:
Water dragons, like all other elemental dragons, very rarely
leave their home plane. When they are encountered on other
planes, they are usually found living in deep oceans or
other large bodies of water.
Most (60%) of water dragons are neutral. There is an
equal (20%) chance that they are either evil or good. Half
(50%) of all water dragons are chaotic, some (40%) are
neutral, and only a few (10%) are lawful.
Ecology: Water
dragons have little need for sustenance. They survive by
contact with water. They loathe to venture out of water for
more than a few hours, and they'll never go near any dry,
hot, or extremely cold place.
