Its vision and blindsense can detect ethereal creatures as if they were on the material plane. The presence of such creatures has an ephemeral cast, allowing the ethereal dragon to easily distinguish between ethereal and non-ethereal creatures. ### Ethereal Scales (Ex) A young adult or older ethereal dragon applies half its natural armor bonus to AC against incorporeal touch attacks. ### Ethereal Step (Su) While on the ethereal plane, an old or older ethereal dragon has a constant _freedom of movement_ effect. ### Ethereal Stride (Ex) An ethereal dragon can move through any sort of naturally occurring hazard or impediment of the ethereal plane at their normal speed and without taking damage. An ethereal dragon is not affected by ethereal winds. ### Force Tempest (Su) A very old or older ethereal dragon can use it's breath weapon to create a tempest of roiling force up to 100 feet away, affecting a 5-foot-radius area per age category. The cloud persists for 3 round per age category, and cannot be dispersed by material effects. Creatures in the area take 20d6 force damage on the first round, 10d6 force damage on the second round and 5d6 force damage on the third round. The area impedes attacks, damage and movement in a manner similar to a _solid fog_. ### Ethereal Storm (Su) As a standard action, a great wyrm ethereal dragon can create an ethereal storm centered on itself with a radius of 1,200 feet. Creatures on the ethereal plane take 4d6 damage per round, and are subjected to the effects of a windstorm. Incorporeal creatures on the ethereal or material plane are affected by the windstorm in the same manner. Corporeal creatures on the material plane can feel the ethereal winds, but are not physically affected by them. Instead, the strange surging of energies are expressed as sense of unease and wrongness. Corporeal creatures in the area take a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. The storm lasts for 1 hour, but can be dismissed by the ethereal dragon as a free action. ### Transdimensional Essence (Su) An ancient of older ethereal dragon can freely extend its body into the ethereal plane even while on the material plane. An ethereal dragon's natural attacks effect incorporeal and ethereal creatures as if they were force effects. Such creates take full damage from an ethereal dragon's natural attacks. Furthermore, an ethereal dragon may its natural armor bonus to AC against incorporeal touch attacks. ### Phased Essence (Su) A young or older ethereal dragon's body exists partially out of phase with reality, allowing it to affect incorporeal creatures and ethereal creatures. An ethereal dragon's natural attacks can effect incorporeal and ethereal creatures. Such creates take half damage from an ethereal dragon's natural attacks. Furthermore, an ethereal dragon may add half its natural armor bonus to AC against incorporeal touch attacks. This ability does not allow the ethereal dragon to affect creature on the material plane while it is on the ethereal plane. ## Ethereal Dragon Abilities by Age | Age | Special Abilities | Caster Level | | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | | Wyrmling | Ethereal stride | — | | Very young | Ethersight | — | | Young | Phased essence | 1st | | Juvenile | DR 5/magic | 3rd | | Young adult | Frightful presence, _blink_ | 5th | | Adult | DR 10/magic, _dimensional anchor_ | 7th | | Mature adult | _ethereal jaunt_ | 9th | | Old | DR 15/magic, ethereal step | 11th | | Very old | Force tempest, _etherealness_ | 13th | | Ancient | DR 20/magic and 5/cold iron, transdimensional essence | 15th | | Wyrm | DR 20/magic and 10/cold iron | 17th | | Great wyrm | Ethereal Storm | 19th | **At will**— _blink_, _dimensional anchor_, _ethereal jaunt_, _etherealness_.
