Copper dragons are hedonists who are quick to indulge in simple pleasures, but they''re also sympathetic to other creatures, slow to pass judgment, and careful to always examine a situation from as many perspectives as possible. This philosophy has its drawbacks, however, as copper dragons are susceptible to negative influences and prone to forgiving the less serious evil acts performed by their chromatic cousins and other cruel creatures. Copper dragons also have a difficult time keeping their temper in check once they are roused to anger. Copper dragons tend to lair in warm or temperate hills, but due to their nature, they move their lairs every few years. They sometimes live among other people, especially any dwarves who reside nearby. Some copper dragons even worship gods typically worshipped only by humanoids. Among these dragons, worship of Cayden Cailean is most popular, as they see his love of freedom and penchant for alcohol aligning with the typical copper dragon mindset. A copper dragon''s combat tactics are as unorthodox as its sense of humor, as it is more likely to use mockery and tricks than outright strength to win its battles. As a copper dragon ages, it perfects jokes capable of rendering its foes helpless with laughter. **__Recall Knowledge - Dragon__ (__Arcana__)**: DC 38' hp: 345 hp_misc: null immunities: - acid - paralyzed - sleep languages: - Common - Draconic - Dwarven - Elven - Gnomish level: 17 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 3d10+16 type: piercing - formula: 3d8 type: acid name: jaws to_hit: 33 traits: - acid - magical - reach 15 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 3d10+16 type: slashing name: claw to_hit: 33 traits: - agile - magical - reach 10 feet - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 2d10+14 type: bludgeoning name: tail to_hit: 31 traits: - magical - reach 20 feet name: Ancient Copper Dragon perception: 30 ranged_attacks: null rarity: Uncommon saves: fort: 30 fort_misc: null misc: +1 status to all saves vs. magic ref: 32 ref_misc: null will: 32 will_misc: null senses: - darkvision - scent (imprecise) 60 feet size: Huge skills: - bonus: 30 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 31 misc: null name: Athletics - bonus: 31 misc: null name: Crafting - bonus: 29 misc: null name: Deception - bonus: 31 misc: null name: Performance - bonus: 29 misc: null name: Society - bonus: 30 misc: null name: Stealth sources: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: '122' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 50 misc: null type: Land - amount: 200 misc: null type: fly - amount: 50 misc: null type: climb stone spell_lists: - attack_bonus: null cantrips: null constants: null dc: 39 focus_points: null misc: null spell_lists: - level: 5 spells: - misc: at will name: hideous laughter - misc: null name: wall of stone - level: 4 spells: - misc: at will name: shape stone - level: 1 spells: - misc: at will name: grease spells_source: Arcane Innate Spells traits: - Dragon - Earth
