The AC penalties for a drive, focus and fury are reduced by 1. ### Drive (Ex) When an old or older battle dragon uses its focus ability, it applies to all creatures of that foe's type. If that creature is a humanoid or outsider, then it applies to creatures of that type and subtype, as detailed in the Ranger's favored enemy class feature. ### Fearsome Gas (Su) Instead of a cone of sonic energy, a battle dragon can breath a cone of fearsome gas. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a Will save or become shaken for 4d6 rounds. (Will save negates). ### Focus (Ex) As a swift action, a juvenile or older battle dragon can focus itself upon a single foe. Against that foe, the battle dragon gains a +2 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls, as well as a +2 morale bonus on bluff, perception and sense motive checks. Against all other foes he suffers a –2 penalty to AC. These bonuses persist until the foe is defeated, until 24 hours have passed, or until the battle dragon focuses on a new target. A battle dragon can use this ability a number of times per day equal to its Charisma modifier. ### Fury (Ex) As a free action, an ancient or older battle dragon may enter a battle fury, which grants it a +4 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but a –2 penalty to AC. A battle dragon can maintain this fury for a total number of rounds each day equal its hit die + its Constitution modifier. When a battle dragon exists its fury, it suffers no fatigue or other ill effects. This ability is otherwise identical to the barbarian’s rage class feature. ### Inspiration (Su) As a swift action, an adult or older battle dragon can inspire courage in itself and its allies that can hear it, granting a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm or fear effects and a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls. A battle dragon can use this ability for a number of rounds equal to its hit die + its Charisma modifier. This ability is otherwise similar to the inspire courage bardic performance. ### Resolve (Ex) A very young or older battle dragon gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves against emotion effects. This bonus increase by 1 for every four additional age categories. | Age | Special Abilities | | | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- | ---- | | Wyrmling | Fearsome breath, _protection from evil_ | — | | Very young | Resolve +1 | — | | Young | _mage armor_ | — | | Juvenile | DR 5/magic, focus | — | | Young adult | _aid_ | — | | Adult | DR 10/magic, frightful presence, inspiration, resolve +2 | 1st | | Mature adult | _shield other_ | 3rd | | Old | DR 15/magic, drive | 5th | | Very old | Fast healing 2 | 7th | | Ancient | DR 20/magic and 5/evil, fury, resolve +3 | 9th | | Wyrm | _heroes feast_ | 11th | | Great wyrm | DR 20/magic and 10/evil, battle mastery | 13th | **At Will**—_aid_, _heroes feast_, _mage armor_, _protection from evil_, _shield other_
