#### special abilities
### Blinding Breath (Su)
Instead of a line of force, a radiant dragon can brethe a cone of blinding light. Creatures caught within the cone must make Fortitude saves or be blinded for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per age category of the dragon. A successful save means the creature is instead dazzled for the same duration. Sightless creatures are immune to the cone of light breath weapon. This is effectively a 9th-level spell for purporses of overcoming darkness.
### Dispel Darkness (Su)
A juvenile or older radiant dragon automatically dispels any darkness spell (whose level is equal to or less than his age category) within 60 feet.
#### ecology
**Treasure** Triple
Radiant dragons are simultaneously wonderful and ter- rible, awesome in their righteousness and fearsome in their dedication to destroying evil. A radiant dragon seems to shine with a heavenly glow, though it can douse this brightness as desired. If you can bear to look upon its grandeur, you can make out that its perfectly shaped scales glisten like molten white gold. Its proud, regal bearing is unmistak- able, and its voice rings like heavenly thunder. Radiant dragons prefer lairs that allow plenty of sunlight, and often place gems and other bright valuables in places where they catch and refract the light, creat- ing marvelous displays of color and radiance. To creatures that display nobility and justice, they are the staunchest of allies, offer- ing succor and healing to any in need. But when faced by those who foster chaos or evil, a radiant dragon becomes a furious whirl of color and light, destroying all who oppose it. Radiant dragons speak Common, Celes- tial, and Draconic.
