#### special abilities
### Arcane Shield (Su)
Against arcane spells of 4th level or lower, a steel dragon's Spell Reistiance is 10 points higher than normal.
### Poison Breath (Su)
Instead of a line of acid, a steel dragon can breathe a cone of poisonous gas. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1d2 point of Constitution. This poison effect persists for one round per age category of the dragon. A Fortitude save can be made each round to resist damage, but the poison can only be neutralized through magic. Steel Dragon Breath (Su): Contact; save Fort DC 29; frequency 1/round for 9 rounds; effect 1d2 Constitution damage; cure —.
