# Drake, Rage >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] > >[!debug]+ *This heavily muscled reptile stalks about on four limbs, its fluid movements and feline grace belying its size. Its dark red scales are scarred and chipped from past struggles, and its scowling visage hints at unchecked rage.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Rage Drake</div> <div class="CR">CR 9 (6,400 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Monster Manual 3</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> CE Large Dragon **Init** +7 **Senses** blindsense 30 ft., darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; **Perception** +22 #### defense **AC** 19, 11 touch, 15 flat-footed (+3 Dex, +1 dodge, +8 natural, -2 rage, -1 size) **hp** 217 (14d12+126) **Fort** +17, **Refl** +12, **Will** +12 **Feint** 25, **Demoralize** 25 **Immune** paralysis, sleep #### offense **Speed** 60 ft. **Melee** 2 claws +23 (1d8+10/19-20), bite +23 (2d6+10 plus grab) **Space** 10 ft., **Reach** 5 ft. **Special Attacks** pounce, rake (2 claws +18, 1d8+10/19-20), rage (39 rounds), worry (2d6+10) #### statistics **Str** 31, **Dex** 17, **Con** 27, **Int** 4, **Wis** 12, **Cha** 10 **BAB** +14, **CMB** +25 (+29 grapple), **CMD** 36 (40 vs. trip), **TA** +23, **RTA** +16 **Feats** [[Blind-Fight]], [[Dodge]], [[Improved Critical]] (claw), [[Improved Initiative]], [[Mobility]], [[Power Attack]], [[Toughness]] **Skills** Acrobatics +17 (+29 when jumping), Perception +22, Stealth +18 **Racial Modifiers** Perception +4 **Languages** Common, Draconic **SQ** tireless rage #### special abilities ### Tireless Rage (Ex) A rage drake does not become fatigued after its rage is ended. ### Worry (Ex) Whenever a rage drake succeeds on a grapple check with its bite attack, it deals automatic slashing damage. #### tactics Brutal, instinctive hunters, rage drakes hide and ambush their foes when possible. Beyond this instinctive hunting technique, rage drakes take a simple approach to the many battles they fight in their violent lives. When combat begins, a rage drake charges and pounces on the nearest foe, tearing its opponent to shreds as fast as it can and then moving on to the next foe. It usually tries to pounce and stun its foe in the first round of combat and then begins raging in the next round. If overmatched in combat, a rage drake is just as likely to fight to the death as it is to flee. A rage drake normally attacks using its Power Attack feat. **Base Statistics** > **AC** 21, 13 touch, 17 flat-footed; **hp** 189; **Fort** +15, **Will** +10; 2 claws +21 (2d6+8/19-20), bite +21 (2d8+8 plus grab); **Str** 27, **Con** 23; **CMB** +21, **TA** +21 #### ecology **Terrain** Cold forests **Organization** Solitary or pair **Treasure** None **Advancement** 15–28 HD (Large); 29–42 HD (Huge) Primitive draconic creatures, rage drakes have more in common with large and dangerous dire animals than with true dragons. Although capable of at least rudimentary reasoning, rage drakes remain animalistic in many ways. Cruel and selfish, rage drakes embody many of the worst qualities of evil dragonkind. Some sages believe that rage drakes were created deliberately in an attempt to find a mount with the fearsome physical abilities of a dragon but without the intelligence and powerful magical abilities. Rage drakes do not hoard treasure, though they do value precious gems . . . as snacks. Rage drakes have dull, deep red scales and the feline build common to true dragons. Unlike many other draconic creatures, they do not have wings. However, their size and strength make them extremely fast compared to most ground creatures. A typical rage drake can grow to be over 12 feet long and can weigh up to 6,000 pounds.
