Introduction
In 1994 Bill Slavicsek published the Council of Wyrms box set which was billed as the first time TSR
game dragons could become player characters1! COW (for short) was popular and became even more so
when it was republished by Wizards of the Coast as a hard bound Players Option book in the year
1999. Unfortunately this was just before WOTC published their own version of the worlds most famous
RPG and no other COW material was ever published.
Despite repeated requests, WOTC declined to publish an updated version of Council of Wyrms because it
was thought to be too unbalancing using the new rules. This did not stop the requests however and this
prompted Dragon magazine to publish official conversions for the metallic and chromatic dragons in
issues 320 and 332. However these conversions stressed making the dragons exactly as in the 3rd edition
core rules and had little of the flavor of the dragons from Ios Blood.
I thus did my own conversion which quickly became obsolete when Hasbro bought out WOTC and
published yet another version of the game that can no longer be named. This version was so disliked that
it divided the fan base of the product and Piazo publishing created their own version of the game in 2009
that quickly out sold all its competition.
This conversion guide is meant for people who wish to use the COW sourcebook with the Pathfinder core
rules. As gem dragons were not made open content they do not exist in the Pathfinder game and have been
replaced with the Primal Dragons found in Bestiary 2. This book uses the Primal Dragons instead of the
gem dragons but the cultures of the original clans can still be used.
To use this book you will need Council of Wyrms, the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, the Pathfinder
Roleplaying Game Bestiary and Bestiary II. The books Psionics Unleashed and the Advanced Players
Guide will also be useful for a few skills and feats. Those who game with a computer may use the
Pathfinder SRD http://www.d20pfsrd.com instead. These books plus this paper should be all that is needed
to make your character ROAR!
Actually Dragons by Cory Glaberson ( 1986, Mayfair Games for the first edition of the game) preceded
COW by eight years and is very similar.
Pathfinder General Conversion Rules

The following rules should be used when converting Council of Wyrms (COW for short) to the Pathfinder
RPG.
Book One: Rules-Ability Scores: use the Pathfinder rules. Ignore COWs minimum and maximum ability scores,
racial adjustments, class restrictions, level limits, and starting dragon strength scores. These rules
are all superseded by the Pathfinder rules and the rules in this volume.
The Races: all of the fluff information contained in this section can be left as is. Gem dragons
have been replaced with Primal dragons and the Draconic and Half-Dragon racial rules given in
this volume replace those in COW. The only game information one needs to keep are the age
category, age in years, and the information on preferred vassals.
Classes and Kits: These rules are replaced by the Pathfinder classes and prestige classes. Now
any dragon can become psionic not just the neutral dragons.
Experience and Advancement: These rules become superseded by the ones in Pathfinder and
this volume.
Proficiencies: These rules are replaced by the Pathfinder skill and feat system. See this volume for
more information on dragon appropriate skills and converted feats.
Special and Innate Abilities and Spells: These are superseded by the Pathfinder abilities given in
this volume.
Book Two: Campaign -Most of this volume is fluff text so can remain as is. One of the few exceptions is the rules for losing ones
hoard. In Table 18 replace THACO reduced by one level with Base Attack Bonus reduced by one
level. The rules for Dragon weapons in Table 20 and the kit rules (now prestige classes) must also be
replaced with the rules in this book.
Book Three: Adventures -Other than converting of the monsters to Pathfinders creatures most of these adventures can be left as is.
What few changes are needed can be found in the chapter on converting the Adventures given in this
volume.
Draconic Racial Class Features

Council of Wyrms features fifteen dragon races divided into three families, the Chromatic (evil) dragons,
the Gem (neutral) dragons, and the Metallic (good) dragons. In the rules below the Gem dragons have been
replaced with the Primal dragons with their cultural equivalent mentioned in the description. The
information given here replaces all the character creation/racial information in COW.
Each dragon type is a racial class that uses the following tables. A dragon cannot multiclass into another
dragon race (obviously) but can multiclass into as many normal Classes or Prestige Classes as he likes as
long as the normal rules for multi classing are followed. In every case the dragon race is always the favored
class.
The special abilities of each dragon type have changed somewhat in Pathfinder and the racial classes below
reflect the new rules. In cases where a dragons power has been changed the old power will be given as a
bonus spell. The stats given below are common to all the dragon racial classes.
Dragon Racial Type: Pathfinder dragons are immune to effects that only affect humanoids, such as charm
person spells. Of course this is less important in a COW campaign than in a typical game world due to the
prevalence of dragon affecting magic during the time period of Ios Blood.
Dragon Senses: all dragons now have darkvision at 120 ft. and blindsense at 60 ft. They see four times as
well as a human in dim light and twice as well in normal light.
Hit Dice: Every level a dragon gains on his racial class allows him to roll 1d12 for hit points.
Base Attack Bonus: The BAB of Pathfinder is equal to the dragons level so a dragon of level 5 would
have a BAB of +5.
Four Legged: Due to being four-legged, dragons receive a +4 racial bonus to their CMD against trip
attacks and their carrying capacity increases by 50%
Attributes: Determine attributes as normal then apply the Racial Ability Adjustments found in the
description for your dragons type in this book. The Dragons strength will increase with each rise in age
category; this increase is in addition to the standard ability score increases that occur at every four levels.
As a dragon ages his dexterity in the use of his fore-claws will decrease due to size. Its hard to pick up a
tiny ring with sword sized talons. As a result a penalty to dexterity is given as the dragon increases in size.
This modifier is only applied to rolls that involve manual dexterity and not to those involving agility (i.e.
jumping, flying, or attacking.) This modifier varies by size and is given in the racial description.

AC: The Armor Class given is natural armor and size modifier only. Armor Class increases as the character
rises in level. All Armor class is modified by the characters size category as given in the core rulebook and
is already figured into the dragons racial description. The characters dex modifier may change this
number.
Breath Weapon: Using a breath weapon is a supernatural ability and a standard action. A dragon can use
its breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds. If a breath weapon deals damage, those caught in the area can
attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save DC against a breath weapon is 10 + 1/2 the dragons
HD (racial class level) + the dragons Constitution modifier.

Fear Aura: This ability is now called Frightful Presence. A potentially affected creature resists using
Willpower save at a difficulty equaling the Dragons HD/ racial level + the dragons Charisma modifier.
Those who make the save are immune to the dragons fear aura for 24 hours. Those that fail become
Panicked (if they have less than 4 hit dice) or Shaken (if they have more than 5 HD) for 4d6 rounds.
Dragons are immune to the fear aura of other dragons. Dragons do not gain this ability until Young Adult
Age. A dragons fear aura has a range equal to 30 feet x the dragons age category.
Immunities (ex): All Pathfinder dragons have an immunity to sleep and paralysis effects.
Optional Rule
Dragons are not automatically immune to sleep and charm effects until they reach Juvenile age. This rule is
recommended to increase playability at low levels and to make the Pathfinder dragons more equal in power
to those in the COW setting.
Languages: Dragon characters automatically start out speaking High Draconic and their family language
(chromatic, metallic, or primal) plus one bonus language per Int modifier. Bonus languages include
Abyssal, Aquan, Auran, Dwarfish, Elvin, Giant, Gnomish, Common, Goblin, Ignan, Infernal, Orc, Sylvan,
Terran, and Undercommon. In addition all dragons in this setting have Telepathic Speech. Telepathy allows
a dragon to communicate mentally with any intelligent creature it is able to link its mind with. The base
number for this power differs with each dragon race and increases with age.
Skills: A dragon character gains 6 skill ranks plus Intelligence modifier per level. Common draconic class
skills are Diplomacy (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Int), Perception
(Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spell craft, and use Magic Device (Cha). Each dragon race will have
additional available class skills that will be listed in that dragons description.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A dragon has no

automatic proficiency in weapons or armor in dragon form
unless they take the appropriate feat. Dragons able to take
human form are proficient with simple weapons.
Damage Reduction: Dragons will eventually receive the
Damage Reduction Powers. This ability works as in the
bestiary and the first number stacks so a dragon with DR
10/magic who gains DR +5/magic upon gaining a new
level will actually have a DR of 15/magic. Note that a
dragons claws and teeth count as magical weapons for the
purposes of overcoming Damage Reduction.
Spell Resistance: Dragons will eventually receive Spell
Resistance. In Spell Resistance (SR) the subsequent
bonuses stack so that a dragon that has SR 10 and receives
SR +1 upon gaining a new level will have a total SR of 11.
Spells: A dragon knows and casts arcane spells as a
sorcerer of the level indicated in its specific description. Its
caster level depends on its age, as shown for each type. In
contrast spell-like abilities are cast at at a level equal the
dragons total racial level/Hit Dice.
Special and Innate Abilities: Due to changes between the
editions some abilities have been renamed or moved to a
different age level. Where ability has been removed from
the current edition I have restored it whenever possible.
Note that when using a dragon from the Bestiary it may
have abilities beyond those of a typical PC dragon of its
level and less feats. Just assume it exchanged feats for
other abilities.
Saving Throws: All dragons have the following class features involving saving throws, placed here instead
of in the class description to save space and prevent repetition.

Levels: Normal player character races can only rise to 20th level. Due to the unique nature of dragons they
can rise to over that level limit. The reason for this is that dragons have immense numbers of hit dice and if
each hit dice equals a level then a full grown dragon is a very high level indeed.
To raise in level a dragon earns experience points as normal. However whenever she is trying to reach a
new age level (wyrmling, very young, young, juvenile, young adult, adult, mature adult, old, very old,
ancient - also called venerable in some products -, wyrm, great wyrm, and paragon) the dragon must also
have an amount of treasure in its bonded hoard equal to the dragons level x 1,000. The rest of the
advancement rules are the same as in Council of Wyrms.
There is a price for this power, the more powerful the dragon the longer it takes that dragon to grow past
the hatchling stage and eventually into Great Wyrm age. This long maturation alone will keep most players
from choosing a golden powerhouse as a lowly brass will gain great wyrmhood much faster than its
glittering cousin.
To determine the amount of experience needed to raise past level 20 use this chart in addition to the one in
the Pathfinder Core Rules. These epic level ranks can also be used for normal characters in high level
games.

A dragons ultimate goal is to reach Paragon rank. A Paragon is a dragon that has bodily moved on to
become the servant of an avatar of one of the draconic gods. Such a dragon immediately relocates onto the
outer planes and becomes an epic character upon attaining level 32. They are the representatives of the
gods and put in charge of some heavenly (or hellish) duty and so become NPCs in all but the most epic of
games. However few dragons ever attain this rank for they must do so before death overtakes them.
Black, Blue, Green, Red, & White

The chromatic dragons are the stereotypical evil dragons of the Pathfinder game and represent precious
stones. In the core COW rules they are strictly non-player characters.
10
Black Dragons have glossy black scales and live in the southern swamps of Ios Blood. A black dragon
breathes a line shaped blast of acid and all dragons of this race take no damage from acid. Black dragons
are Chaotic Evil in alignment and belong to the Water subtype. The eggs of black dragons are dusky
shelled mottled with onyx. Their additional class skills are: Handle Animal (Cha). Stealth (Dex), and Swim
(Str)
Black Dragons have the following Ability Adjustments: Dexterity +3, Constitution +1, Intelligence -1, and
Charisma -1
Starting Movement: 30 feet, Fly 100 feet (average), and Swim 30 feet
Starting Natural AC: 4 (+0 natural, +4 size)
Black Dragon Special Abilities
Acid Pool (Su) The dragon can use its breath weapon to create a pool of acid as a standard action. This
acid pool has a radius of 5 feet per age category of the dragon. When an acid pool is created, anyone inside
its area takes an amount of damage equal to the dragons breath weapon (Reflex half). Any creature that
starts its turn touching this pool takes damage, but can make a Reflex save for half. Each round, the total
damage dice of the pool is halved until the result would be less than 1d6. The acid pool floats on water, and
deals damage to anything on the surface.
Acidic Bite (Su) the dragons bite deals an additional 2d6 points of acid damage. An ancient dragons
damage increases to 4d6, and a great wryms to 6d6.
Charm Reptiles (Sp) This ability works as a mass charm monster spell that affects only reptilian animals.
It can be used three times per day and is cast as an 8th level spell.
Corrupt Water (Sp) Once per day the dragon can stagnate 10 cubic feet of still water, making it foul and
unable to support water-breathing life. The ability spoils liquids containing water so any liquid-based magic
items (such as potions) and items in a creatures possession must succeed on a Will save (DC equal to the
dragons frightful presence) or become ruined. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell. Its range is
equal to that of the dragons frightful presence.
Immunity to Acid (Ex) The Dragon takes no damage from Acid attacks.
Speak with Reptiles (Sp) the dragon gains the ability to speak with reptiles. This ability is constant and
functions as the spell speak with animals, but only with reptilian animals.
11
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) a black dragon gains the following spell-like abilities, usable at will upon
reaching the listed age category. Juvenile: darkness (radius 10 feet per age category); Old: plant growth;
Ancient: insect plague.
Swamp Stride (Ex) the dragon can move through bogs and quicksand without penalty at its normal speed.
Telepathy (Su) the dragon can speak mentally to anyone it can link its mind with. To link minds the
dragon simply rolls percentile dice (2d10, the first dice representing the ones and the second the tens with a
roll of 10 being read as 00) any roll less than the percentage is a success. Telepathic speech causes no
damage it simply allows the dragon to talk with any intelligent creature.
Water Breathing (Ex) The dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath
weapon, spells, and other abilities while submerged.

Blue Dragons have dark blue scales and live in the southern deserts of Ios Blood. A blue dragon breathes a
line shaped bolt of lightning and all dragons of this race take no damage from electricity. The eggs of blue
dragons are azure shelled with sapphire mottling. Blue dragons are Lawful Evil in alignment and belong to
the Earth subtype. Their additional class skills are: Appraise (Int), Stealth (Dex), and Survival (Wis).
Blue Dragons have the following Ability Adjustments: Strength +1, Dexterity +2, and Constitution +1
Starting Movement: 30 feet, fly 100 feet (average), Burrow 10 feet
Starting AC: 2 (natural +0, size +2)
Blue Dragon Special Abilities
Desert Thirst (Su) A blue dragon can cast create water at will (CL equals its level). Alternatively, it can
destroy an equal amount of liquid in a 10-foot burst. Unattended liquids are instantly reduced to sand.
Liquid-based magic items (such as potions) and items in a creatures possession must succeed on a Will
save (DC equal to the dragons breath weapon) or be destroyed.
Electricity Aura (Su) An adult blue dragon is surrounded by an aura of electricity. Creatures within 5 feet
take 1d6 points of electricity damage at the beginning of the dragons turn. An old dragons aura extends to
10 feet. An ancient dragons damage increases to 2d6. The dragon can suppress this aura at will.
Mirage (Su) An old or older blue dragon can make itself appear to be in two places at once as a free action
for a number of rounds per day equal to its Hit Dice. This ability functions as project image but the dragon
can use its breath weapon through the mirage.
Sandstorm (Su) as a standard action, the dragon can create a sandstorm centered on itself with a radius of
1,200 feet. Creatures other than the dragon inside the storm take 2d6 points of damage per round in
addition to the normal sandstorm penalties (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 431). This sandstorm lasts for
up to 1 hour, but can be dismissed by the dragon as a free action.
Sound Imitation (Ex) A very young or older blue dragon can mimic any voice or sound it has heard by
making a successful Bluff check against a listeners Sense Motive check.

Red Dragon Special Abilities
Detect Gems (Sp) the dragon can detect gems three times per day. This functions as locate object, but can
only be used to locate gemstones.
Fire Aura (Su) the dragon is surrounded by an aura of flames. All creatures within 5 feet take 1d6 points
of fire damage at the beginning of the dragons turn. An old dragons aura extends to 10 feet. An ancient
dragons damage increases to 2d6. This power can be suppressed or activated at will as a free action.
Incinerate (Su) the dragon can incinerate creatures in its fiery breath. A creature reduced to less than 0 hit
points by its breath weapon must make a Fortitude save (using the breath weapons DC). Failure indicates
that the creature is reduced to ash. Creatures destroyed in this way can only be restored to life through true
resurrection or similar magic.
Manipulate flames (Su) the dragon can control any fire spell within 10 feet per age category of the dragon
as a standard action. This ability allows it to move any fire effect in the area, as if it were the caster. This
ability also allows it to reposition a stationary fire effect, although the new placement must be one allowed
by the spell. Finally, for 1 round following the use of this ability, the dragon can control any new fire spell
cast within its area of control, as if it were the caster. It can make all decisions allowed to the caster,
including canceling the spell if it so desires.
Melt Stone (Su) the dragon can use its breath weapon to melt rock at a range of 100 feet, affecting a 5foot-radius area per age category. The area becomes lava to a depth of 1 foot. Any creature in contact with
the lava takes 20d6 points of fire damage on the first round, 10d6 on the second, and none thereafter as the
lava hardens and cools. If used on a wall or ceiling, treat this ability as an avalanche that deals fire damage.

pyrotechnics).

White Dragons have snow white scales and live in the arctic tundra of the far northern islands of Ios
Blood. A white dragon breathes a cone shaped blast of frigid frost and all dragons of this race take no
damage from cold. Their eggs have shells of pearly white mottled with diamonds. White dragons are
Chaotic Evil in alignment and belong to the Cold subtype so are vulnerable to fire.
White dragon additional class skills are: Stealth (Dex) and Swim (Str).
White Dragons have the following Ability Adjustments: Dexterity +3, Constitution +1, Intelligence -2, and
Charisma -2.
Starting Movement: 40, fly 100 (average), burrow 30
White Dragon Special Abilities
Blizzard (Su) the dragon can use its breath weapon to create a blizzard as a standard action. This creates
heavy snow conditions in a 50-foot radius for 1 minute, centered on the dragon. This snow slows
movement (4 squares of movement per square entered) and limits vision as fog does.
Cold Aura (Su) the dragon radiates an aura of cold. All creatures within 5 feet of the dragon take 1d6
points of cold damage at the beginning of the dragons turn. An old dragons aura extends to 10 feet. An
ancient dragons damage increases to 2d6. The dragon can suppress or activate this power as a free action.
Freezing Fog (Sp) the dragon can use this ability three times per day. It is similar to an acid fog spell but
deals cold damage instead of acid damage. It also causes a rime of slippery ice to form on any surface the
fog touches, creating the effect of a grease spell. The dragon is immune to the grease effect because of its
ice walking ability. This ability is the equivalent of a 6th level spell.
Ice Shape (Su) the dragon can shape ice and snow at will. This ability functions as stone shape, but only
targeting ice and snow, not stone. A white dragons caster level for this effect is equal to its Hit Dice.
Ice Tomb (Sp) the dragon can, as a standard action, cause a creature to sink into ice. This works as
imprisonment, but only while the target is touching an icy surface. The dragon can use this ability once per
day (CL equals dragons HD). Targets entombed by this ability can be freed by casting freedom or by
physically freeing the creature from the ice (Hardness 0, 360 hit points). The save DC is Charisma-based.
Ice Walking (Ex) This ability works like a constantly active spider climb spell, but the surfaces the dragon
climbs must be icy. The dragon can move across icy surfaces without penalty and does not need to make
Acrobatics checks to run or charge on ice.
19
Snow Vision (Ex) the white dragon learns to see perfectly well in snowy conditions. The does not suffer
any penalties to Perception checks while in snow.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) A white dragon gains the following spell-like abilities usable at will upon
reaching the listed age category. Juvenile: fog cloud; Young adult: gust of wind; Ancient: wall of ice; Great
wyrm: control weather.
Telepathy (Su) see Black dragon entry for description.

jungles of Ios Blood and have a cone breath weapon of raging fire. Naturally dragons of this race take no

Flame Walk (Sup) the dragon can walk on molten lava as if it was solid ground and without getting
burned. This works exactly as the spell Water walk except that it works on molten lava and magma only.
Magma tomb (Su) Once per day the dragon can spit lava onto a target within 120 feet, dealing damage
normally for its breath weapon. This magma cools instantly-it does not continue doing damage at this point
but does entrap the victim (see universal monster rules in appendix; DC equals the dragons breath weapon
save DC, 3d6 minutes, hardness 8, hp 45).
Magma Breath (Su) Three times per day the dragon can breathe a cone of lava instead of fire. The
damage is unchanged, but the magma clings to those it damages, dealing half damage each round thereafter
for 1d3 rounds. After this magma cools, it crumbles to dust.
Minute Meteors (Su) 3 times per day the dragon can summon a number of fiery orbs equal to his age
level. These fiery globes are about one foot in radius and hurl towards the target doing 1d4 points of
damage each to the target and one point of damage to any other creature within five feet of the target. One
target can be struck per orb or the dragon can wait and throw one orb per round until they are all used up.
This is equivalent to a 4th level spell.

New Race: Half Dragons

Humanoid half dragons do not exist in Pathfinder but, as the COW half-dragons are totally different than
those of 3rd edition, a new race is prudent. Half-dragons are the result of a male dragon with the change
shape ability mating with a demihuman vassal. They are born resembling their demihuman mother but with
hair and eyes the color of their dragon father. By adolescence they have grown tall and lean with elvish
grace, snake-like eyes and the barest hint of horns upon the brow. Half-dragons have no wings, tails, or
scales. If a half-dragon takes levels in the Sorcerer class it must be in the Draconic Bloodline.
Half-Dragon Racial Traits

+2 to any one ability score: Half dragon characters gain a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at
character creation. This should be one of the bonuses possessed by their demihuman parent.
Medium: No matter what the parent demihuman race their half-dragon offspring grow to medium size and
thus have no bonuses or penalties due to size.
Normal Speed: Half-dragons have a base speed of 30 feet.
Demihuman Racial Abilities: Half-dragons start out with all the racial bonuses of their parent race (dwarf,
elf, or gnome) given below...
Dwarf
Darkvision
Greed
Hatred
Stonecutting
Elf
Low-light vision
Elvin immunities
Elvin magic
Keen senses
Gnome
Low-light vision
Defensive training
Hatred
Keen senses
Claws: the half-dragons fingers end in claws that do 1d4 points of damage plus your strength bonus.
These are natural weapons that allow the half-dragon to make two claw attacks on a full attack action using
your full attack bonus. Half-dragons with Sorcerer levels get the damage increase per sorcerer level as in
that class.
Breath Weapon: the half-dragon can breathe the breath weapon of its dragon parent (fire for half golds,
cold for half silvers, and electricity for half bronzes and clouds) twice per day. The breath is a 30 foot cone
(or 60 foot line for bronzes) and does 1d6 points of damage. Those caught in the breath get a reflex save for
half damage. The DC for this save is 10 + your Charisma modifier. Half Dragons with Sorcerer levels gain
an additional use of the breath at 20th level and an increase in damage per level of normal for sorcerers.
43
Weapon Familiarity and Languages: as demihuman parent and Draconic.

Half Dragon Discretionary Abilities: These are now feats rather than racial traits. See the chapter on feats
for details.
Special: Because of the universal distaste that characters in this setting feel for half-dragons they receive a
-2 penalty to encounter reactions when dealing with NPCs.
44
Draconic Classes
In COW each dragon race was a class and every dragon had to choose a kit to determine that dragons
profession. In Pathfinder kits are no longer used. In order to obtain the benefits once contained in the
draconic kits the dragon character can simply multiclass into a Pathfinder base class. This greatly simplifies
dragon classes as converting the dragon to the classes of Pathfinder is simplicity itself as shown in the chart
below
COW Kit
Dragon PC
Dragon Priest
Dragon Psionicist
Dragon Mage
Dragon Sage
=
=
=
=
=
Multiclass into
None, just use racial class
Cleric
Psion
Wizard
Sorcerer (any non-dragon bloodline)
So to make a dragon mage simply multiclass and take a few levels of Wizard for your character. This is
done the same way as any other multiclassed character, so a red dragon with four levels of his racial class
and two of Wizard (Red Dragon 4/ Wizard 2 for a total of 6th level) would roll 1d12 + 1d12 +1d12 +1d12
+1d6 +1d6 for hit points.
In addition to the four core dragon classes, a dragon can also take Fighter (Dragon Warrior), Bard (Dragon
Harper), Druid (Dragon Shaman), Monk, and Ranger. It is unlikely that a dragon will have the singleminded loyalty to a deity needed to become a Paladin or would stoop to such a lowly profession as those
employed by Rouges. As for Barbarians, how utterly uncivilized this is Ios Blood after all not some
realm dominated by humans. On the other hand a dragon who has escaped from captivity in the land of the
fire or frost dragons can choose barbarian to reflect his earlier environment. Other classes, such as those in
the Advanced Players Guide may be allowed depending on the DM.
45
Draconic Skills & Feats

In 1st COW the both skills and feats were included in a category called proficiencies. Most of Council of
Wyrms proficiencies can be included in already listed skills and feats from the core Pathfinder rules. The
few who can not are covered by the Draconomicon published by WOTC. Note that some skills (such as
knowledge) can be represented by a single mechanic and others could only be changed to their closest
equivalent feat. Skills and feats are obtained as normal for characters using the core rules.

For all other COW proficiencies see the section on new feats found below.
New Feats
The feats in this section can be used in addition to those in the Bestiary. All the feats here are adapted from
the combat proficiencies in Council of Wyrms or its predecessor, Dragons by Cory Glaberson. These feats
can be used for other monsters if they fit the requirements, just change the word dragon to that of the new
monster.
Barrel Roll (General)

When in flight you can twist and turn your body so quickly that opponents have trouble striking you.
Prerequisites: fly speed 100 or higher.
Benefit: when using this feat while engaged in aerial combat you gain a +5 bonus to armor class. However,
the elaborate maneuvering required means that the dragon cannot use any physical or magical attacks
including its breath weapon in the same round it uses a barrel roll.
Body Shake (Combat)

You can send a ripple down your entire body, causing any creature on your back to fall off.
Prerequisites: Size Huge or larger with a long (instead of tall) body shape.
Benefit: When using this feat any creature on your back that is not strapped in must make a Reflex save
(Difficulty equal to the dragons Base Attack Bonus) or fall off. A body shake is also good for ejecting
ropes, vines, grappling tentacles, or other non-magical entanglements. If performing this maneuver in the
air a dragon must also make a Reflex save to stay in the air, otherwise he must land for at least one round.
47
Change Breath Weapon (Meta Breath)

You can actually change the chemical composition of your breath weapon. This feat may be taken multiple
times for different breath effects.
Prerequisites: Breath Weapon attack.
Benefit: by eating certain foods and not using your natural breath weapon for a full day you can change it
to another breath type. A dragon can only learn to change its primary breath weapon and only a single type
of breath may be learned each time this feat is taken. When the new breath is activated it takes the place of
your old breath for 24 hours. The new breath does the same amount of damage as the dragon type given
below and a dragon cannot take a breath type he already has naturally (so a bronze dragon cannot take
lightning or repulsion gas). Below is a list of possible variant breath weapons, others are possible with the
GMs approval.
This feat may seem trivial but imagine the horror of a Dragon slayer who has invested in many potions of
fire resistance when the red dragon he is attacking lets loose a blast of freezing frost instead of flame.

Sleep (as in a Brass Dragon)
Slow Breath (as in a Copper dragon)
Weakening Breath (as in a Gold dragon)
Danger Sense (General)

You have a sixth sense that warns you of impending danger.
Prerequisites: Alertness.
Benefit: when a trap or hidden opponent is about you feel a sudden warning tingle and urge to duck or
dodge. This allows you to make an automatic Spot check to detect traps or receive initiative against hidden
or invisible foes before they can attack. This feat does nothing against traps or foes that are out in the open
and if the Spot check is failed you sense nothing out of the ordinary.
Discretionary Abilities (Racial)

You have inherited one of the abilities of your dragon parent.
Prerequisites: Half Dragon.
Benefit: The half dragon gains one of the spell-like or supernatural abilities given below whenever he takes
this feat. These abilities are inherited from the dragon parent. Fearful Presence works the same as in the
Bestiary page 300. Unlike in the original rules these abilities do NOT replace the standard racial ones given
in the half dragon racial description. The abilities you can choose depend on your draconic parent as given
in the list below. This feat may be taken multiple times to gain multiple different abilities.

Grab & Drag (Combat)

Instead of carrying your prey aloft when you snatch it from the ground you can drag it along the ground for
extra damage.
Prerequisites: Snatch.
Benefit: if a flying dragon gets two successful claw attacks against a ground dwelling opponent who is at
least three size levels smaller than the dragon than the dragon can opt to perform a Grab & Drag. The
dragon skims the earth, dragging his helpless victim for 1d10 rounds. For each round dragged the victim
takes claw damage plus an additional 1d6 points on damage. In addition when first grabbed the victim must
make a Reflex save (difficulty equal to the dragons Base Attack Bonus) or have his arms trapped and be
unable to strike back at the dragon.
A dragon dragging a victim cannot land or attack with any weapon (other than its breath) until 1d6 rounds
after it has released its victim as the dragon must wheel about and regain height before attacking again.
Horrifying Roar (General)

You can release a roar that causes panic in all who hear it.
Prerequisites: fearful presence, size large or larger.
Benefit: anyone hearing your roar, including other dragons, must make a Will Save (Difficulty 10 + the
roaring dragons Hit Dice + its Charisma Modifier) or immediately lose initiative on the next round after
hearing the roar. In addition creatures with less than four hit dice will immediately flee in panic for 1d6
rounds. A dragon can roar in this fashion a number of times per day equal to his age level before straining
his lungs.
49
Kick (Combat)
You can kick backwards with a rear claw to injure opponents behind you.
Prerequisites: must have a natural claw attack and be size Small or larger.
Benefit: you can kick with your hind claws for normal claw damage. Any opponent struck must make a
Reflex roll (DC 10 + the strength modifier of the Dragon) or be kicked backwards 5 feet per age category
of the dragon. Another Reflex save (same DC) is than made to see if the kicked opponent remains on his
feet or falls down. A dragon cannot use a tail attack while kicking.
Kindredbond (General)
You can bond with a dragon (or if a dragon you can bond with a human, demi-human, or humanoid vassal).
All dragons from Ios Blood must have this Feat by Juvenile Age and only a single creature may be bonded
with at a time.
Prerequisites: The dragon must be less than Juvenile age and a humanoid vassal must be of level 10 or less
to take this feat.
Benefit: The bond establishes an empathic link between a dragon and a chosen vassal. The pair can
communicate through this link in a limited way (they will know when each other is hungry, scared, angry,
etc) and in combat situations the pair also gain a +1 bonus to attacks and Armor Class if the kindred is
actually riding the dragon. This bond is permanent and lasts until the death of one of the parties.
Lair Clairaudience (General)

The dragon with this feat has a connection with his hoard that allows him to know whenever it has been
disturbed.
Prerequisites: Dragon, Intelligence 12 or higher, Hoard worth 2000gp or more.
Benefit: The dragon hears a warning alarm whenever someone other than himself or his kindred touches
his hoard. The ability has a range of one mile per age category. Whilst within that range a Dragon who gets
the warning may focus its mind on the treasure in its lair and hear any noise within a range of twenty per
age category) from that point. To listen the dragon simply makes a Perception roll at difficulty 15.
Raking Kick (Combat)

If you make a successful attack in which the bite and BOTH front claws hit, and the opponent is the same
size or larger than you, than you can rake the opponent with your rear claws as well.
Prerequisites: Natural Claw Attack, Multiattack, and the opponent must be the same size or larger than
you.
Benefit: you slash with your hind claws with a normal attack roll for both hind feet. Each attack that
succeeds does normal claw damage.
50
Ramming (Combat)
Instead of biting, casting a spell, or using your breath you can use your horns to attack a creature (or object)
that is in front of you.
Prerequisites: Horns or an armored skull, size Large or larger.
Benefit: you can attack with your horns for 1d6 points of damage if standing still and 2d6 points of damage
if you have a running (or flying) start of 100 feet or more. Such an attack does bludgeoning damage and has
a -5 attack bonus and a Strength x 1.5 damage bonus. Dragons may also use this attack to break bridges or
smash-down doors.
Smoke Breath (General)

Instead of breathing fire you can breathe out a cloud of blinding smoke.
Prerequisites: Fire breath weapon.
Benefit: any dragon that can breathe fire can also produce smoke when they take this feat. The smoke is
breathed out instead of fire and it is a cone-shaped cloud that obscures vision and causes a severe bout of
coughing (subtracting 4 from all rolls) for 20 rounds plus one round per age level of the dragon.
Weather Sense (General)

You can feel the currents of the wind and the flow of air masses in your vicinity.
Prerequisites: Alertness.
Benefit: you can make a spot check know what the weather will be for the next six hours. This feat can
also be used in flight to check for thermals and wind speed giving a dragon or other flying creature a +1
bonus to all flight or aerial combat checks.
Draconic Specific Items

Weapons
Council of Wyrms introduced a number of dragon specific weapons. It can be concluded that the use of
these weapons are unique to Ios Blood or were lost in later time periods. Like all weapons they may be
enchanted or elaborately decorated. Such magical or ceremonial weapons will cost double or even triple the
price of the simple everyday weapons priced here.
Tail Mace: a heavy metal ball, often spiked, that is worn over the tip of the tail. To use a Tail mace a
dragon must have the Tail Slap attack. A tail mace adds +4 to the damage of a tail slap.
Wing Spurs: a pair of sharp swords worn on the dragons wings. To use a wing spur the dragon must have
one on each wing and have the Wing Buffet attack. The wing spurs add +2 to the damage of the wing
buffet attack.
51
Talon Sheaths: a set of sharpened metal gloves that fit over the claws on a dragons fore-talons. To use
talon sheaths the dragon must have a claw attack. Talon sheaths add a +2 to claw damage.

Orbs of Io
These magical crystal balls are kept by every Lord of every dragon clan and another sits in the council
Aerie. In Pathfinder terms these items have the following game statistics...
Aura: Strong enchantment CL: 20th, Slot: none, Weight: 5 lbs
All Orbs of Io can be used to communicate verbally and visually with the possessors of all the other orbs. It
forms a constant link with all the other orbs once activated. As anyone with one orb can eavesdrop on any
other orb once they are activated they are usually used only for emergencies or to summon the Lords to
council. These orbs are typically kept in special chambers with a guardian that can report when the orb is
activated. They can only be activated by a dragon of wyrm age or older.

The Dragon Gods

This chapter gives a brief conversion of the dragon deities of Ios Blood in Pathfinder terms. Some of these
gods are more fully described in the Draconomicon others are unique to the Ios Blood setting. I have also
added a god missing since 1st edition, Sardior, king of the Neutral Dragons as the Primal dragons need a
patron god to round out the duo of Bahamut and Tiamat.

New Prestige Classes

These prestige classes are translations of non-dragon kits from Council of Wyrms. The fluff text for these
classes can be found at the end of the second book of COW. The prestige classes presented in this volume
are:
Dragon Slayer of Io: an order of human dragon slayers founded by the great dragon god to slay those
dragons that displease him.
Half-Dragon Exile: A half-dragon thrown out of her community simply for being born or for some crime.
Half-Dragon Ward: A half-dragon taken under the wing of a dragon patron.
Kindred Dragon Rider: A demihuman who rides into battle atop his dragon master.
Dragon Slayer of Io
Hit Dice: d10
Requirements: To qualify to become a Dragon Slayer of Io, a character must fulfill all of the following
criteria.
Base Attack Bonus: +3
Attributes: Strength 14, Intelligence 10, and Constitution 12 or better.
Feats: Iron Will, Power Attack
Special: in order to become a dragon slayer of Io a character must be human and know the
Draconic language. He must also have at least one weapon enchanted against dragons.
Class Skills: The Dragon Slayer of Ios class skills (and the key abilities for that skill) are Acrobatics
(Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha) Knowledge: dragons (Int),
Perception (Wis), Ride (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).
Skill Ranks per Level: 2 + Intelligence modifier.
Class Features: all of the following are class features of the Dragon Slayer of Io prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: All dragon slayers of Io are proficient with all simple and
martial weapons, all shields, and all armor.
Armor of Io (su): Dragon Slayers of Io are presented with a special suit of Dragon Hide Plate
armor (see core rulebook). Once every two levels the armor increases in AC by one.
Attack Bonus (ex): The Dragon Slayer of Io gains a +2 bonus to all attack rolls against all
creatures of the dragon subtype. In addition the player must choose one of the 15 dragon races in
Ios Blood, the character then gains a +4 attack bonus against all members of that dragon race.
Breath Stun (ex): The Dragon slayer of Io can strike a dragon in the throat preventing the use of
its breath weapon. This attack is made at a -4 penalty. If successful the dragon not only takes
damage but cannot use its breath weapon for a number of rounds equal to the points of damage
taken.
Breath Weapon Defense (su): members of this prestige class save against dragon breath at a
higher level than normal. On a successful save they take no damage and on a failed save they take
only half-damage.
54
Dragon Killing Blow (ex): when fighting any creature of the dragon type the dragon slayer of Io
gets to add his level to the damage roll so a 10th level Dragon Slayer has a +10 bonus to damage.
Fear Immunity (su): Dragon Slayers of Io are immune to the effects of a dragons frightful
presence.
Great Blow (ex): The Dragon Slayer if Io puts everything he has into a blow against a creature of
the dragon type. The player states how many hit points he wishes to expend then rolls at attack
with a -4 penalty. On a success the strike causes normal damage plus the additional points of
damage expended by the dragon slayer. These hit points are lost even if the great blow misses.
Heroic Mount (su): The dragon slayer is presented by an unusually gifted steed by his god. This
steed is exactly like a Paladins steed. The bonded mount shares the breath weapon and fear
immunity features of its rider. Should the Dragon Slayer of Io already have a paladins steed than
that steed gains the following bonuses: immunity from frightful presence, breath weapon defense
and a pair of wings allowing flight at twice normal ground movement at average maneuverability.
Wing Attack (ex): The Dragon Slayer of Io can aim a blow at the dragons wings in an attempt to
disable its ability to fly. This attack is made at a -3 penalty and the blow will ground the dragon
for a number of rounds equal to the amount of damage inflicted.

Half-Dragon Exile
Hit Dice: d6
Requirements: To qualify to become a half-dragon exile, a character must fulfill all of the following
criteria.
Attributes: Constitution 13 or better.
Skills: Heal and Survival
Special: in order to become a half-dragon exile a character must be a half-dragon. In addition, due
to the circumstances of the characters exile the dislike that most NPCs feel for half dragons
increases to a -3 penalty.
Class Skills: The half-dragon exiles class skills (and the key abilities for that skill) are Acrobatics (Dex),
Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Escape Artist (Dex), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha),
55
Linguistics (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis),
and Swim (Str).
Class Features: all of the following are class features of the half-dragon exile prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: All half-dragon exile is proficient with all simple weapons,
shields, and armor.
Bonus Feats: The half-dragon exile may choose a feat from the following list: Agile Maneuvers,
Alertness, Athletic, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Endurance, Fleet, Great Fortitude, Quick Draw,
Run, Self-Sufficient, Stealthy, and Toughness. The character must meet all the perquisites of the
feat to select it.
Draconic Terrain (ex): The half dragon exile is skilled at moving in the terrain favored by his
draconic heritage and has learned to use the natural features of this environment to his advantage.
The half-dragon must choose one of the following favored terrains depending on his type:
Aquatic for half-bronze dragons, Desert for half-gold dragons, Forest for half-silver dragons, or
Mountains for half-cloud dragons. When on this favored terrain, the half-dragon exile gains a +2
circumstance bonus to Perception, Stealth, and Survival checks.
Expert Tracker (ex): When making Survival or Perception checks to track any creature, the halfdragon exile may add 1/2 his class levels to his roll as a competence bonus.
Find Shelter (ex): By making a DC 15 Survival check, the half-dragon exile can find someplace
safe to hole up. This may be an abandoned building, a hidden cave, a hollow tree, or a dry spot
under a bridge. Finding the shelter without this ability requires a DC 30 Perception check, so those
within are reasonably safe from accidental discovery, and can take the time needed to mend
wounds, examine artifacts, or otherwise pass a few hours or days in relative safety. The GM
should specify the type of shelter found when this ability is used, and it should be appropriate to
the terrain and the area.
Survivor (ex): The half-dragon exile is skilled at surviving on limited rations and in harsh
conditions. He gains a +4 competence bonus to all checks to avoid the ill effects of starvation,
thirst, or extreme heat and cold. This applies only to environmental effects and not to the effects
of direct exposure to fire, cold-based magical abilities, and so on.
Wilderness Guide (ex): The half-dragon exile can aid others when in his draconic terrain,
granting them one-half his bonuses to Perception and Survival checks.

Half-Dragon Ward
Hit Dice: d10
Requirements: To qualify to become a Half-dragon ward, a character must fulfill all of the following
criteria.
Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Knowledge (nobility), Linguistics, and Perform.
Special: in order to become a half-dragon ward a character must be a half-dragon who has been
chosen as a ward by a dragon of the same alignment. In addition, thanks to the influence of the
characters dragon patron the dislike that most NPCs feel for half dragons decreases to a -1 penalty
Class Skills: The Half-Dragon Wards class skills (and the key abilities for that skill) are Appraise (Int),
Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (geography, history, and religion all Int),
Linguistics (Int), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and
Swim (Str).
Class Features: all of the following are class features of the half-dragon ward prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: All half-dragon exile is proficient with all simple weapons,
shields, and armor.
Bonus Feats: The half-dragon ward may choose a from the following list: Arcane Armor
Training, Athletic, Iron Will, Magical Aptitude, Master Craftsman, Persuasive, and Skill Focus.
The character must meet all the perquisites of the feat to select it.
Charming Demeanor (Ex): The ward is a master at diplomatic relations with dragons. As a result
mere demihuman have no chance to resist his captivating charm. He may make a Diplomacy or
Bluff check opposed by his targets Sense Motive check. If the ward beats his opponents roll by
10 or more than his target is overwhelmed by the wards charm and acts as if under a Charm
Person spell cast by the ward. This effect lasts 3d6 minutes. The ward can use this ability once per
day plus his Charisma modifier.
Connections (Ex): The half-dragon ward often travels to care for the business of his patron. This
brings him into contact with politicians of all species, criminals, and other shady characters. If
within clan territory the character can always find someone who is willing to sell him information
or illegal goods (such as poisons or potions of dragon control), often at an inflated (1d4 times
normal) prices.
Dragon Patron (Ex): Due to his connection with his patron dragon the half dragon ward can
demand food and shelter from vassals of his patrons clan. In addition he can requisition any
mundane, alchemical, or magical item worth up to 100 gps in total value per month. Once per
year he may receive a more expensive item due to a request from the Patron itself. Furthermore the
ward may demand sanctuary from allied clans as long as he does not abuse their hospitality.
Dragon Sense (Ex): The ward has been around shape-shifted dragons all his life so has come to
easily detect their mannerisms. Whenever the ward encounters a dragon in demihuman form
(either due to natural shape changing or polymorph spells) he may make a Perception check at
Difficulty 10 + the dragons age category to recognize that the person is really a dragon.
57
Dragon Protection (Ex): The character has been around his patron (and other dragons) for so
long that he can resist their abilities easier than most. The half-dragon ward gains a +2 morale
bonus to all saves against a dragons attacks, including its breath weapon, spells and spell-like
abilities.
Immunity to Dragon Fear (Ex): The ward is so used to working around dragons that he has
grown immune to the frightful presence of dragons.

Adventures
The adventures in Council of Wyrms need conversion due to the many changes in the rules since 2nd
edition. Most of these changes are character or monster conversions that can easily be solved with the core
rules. As the level progression has also changed reduce all story bonus experience by two zeros, so that a
10,000 xp story bonus becomes a 100 xp story bonus. Any new monsters will be detailed in the Appendix
One.
Adventure One: Not the Draca

Due to the changes in hatchling rules to make them
balanced with other races there needs to be a major
change in this adventure. The hatchlings of 2nd edition
were effectively the wyrmlings of this volume so the
ogre workers need to be changed to something less
powerful, such as orcs. As Krug is a boss encounter
that is presumed to escape in the story it is OK to keep
him an ogre.
Krug Bonebreaker: use Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
Bestiary; Ogre, page 220, 33 hp, Int 10
Ogres (14): use Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary,
orc, page 222 instead
Adventure Two: Color Blind

Most of the changes in this adventure consist of converting the NPCs and monsters. The only other change
is in the Perception rules that start in event two. In Pathfinder the higher roll is the most successful rather
than the lower. For example a result that says three or less in COW would by Three or more when using the
Pathfinder rules given here.

Appendix One: New Monsters

Olive Slime
CR 4 XP 1,200
Hazard, Plant (fungus)
Type infestation; Save Will DC 15
Onset 1 day; Frequency 1/day
Effect 1d6 Con damage
Olive slime is a sticky green growth found in dark, damp underground areas. It clings to ceilings, floors and
walls and consumes any organic matter it contacts. Olive slime can detect prey by vibration to a range of 30
feet and drops from ceilings and walls when it detects movement beneath it.
When a patch of olive slime drops and attaches to a host, it secretes a numbing poison that makes its
presence go almost unnoticed (DC 20 Perception check to notice). A creature standing next to the host can
easily see the slime - further away than five feet, a DC 15 Perception check is required.
An olive slime that has attached itself affects the thinking patterns of its victim, making the hosts main
concern the feeding and protecting the olive slime (including keeping the creature hidden from any
adventuring companions). This effect is similar to a charm monster spell (CL 6th). If a creature attempts to
remove the olive slime from the host, the host either attacks that creature or attempts to flee the area. The
only way to successfully break the link is to destroy the olive slime, destroy the host, or remove the olive
slime from the host.
A single patch of olive slime deals 1d6 points of Constitution damage each day as it devours flesh,
replacing skin and muscle tissue. Additionally, the host must double its normal food intake each day or
sustain an additional 1 point of Constitution damage each day. On days the host does not eat enough food,
it does not heal any damage naturally (including ability damage). When the hosts Constitution reaches 0, it
dies and its body transforms into a slime zombie.
Olive slime can be burned, cut away (dealing an equal amount of damage to the host as well), or frozen.
Anything that deals acid, cold, or fire damage, or a remove disease spell destroys a patch of olive slime.
Slime Zombie
Slime zombies are created when a living creature is slain by a patch of olive slime. The slime zombies sole
purpose for existence is to capture or kill new prey for the olive slime that created it.
A slime zombie resembles the original creature in shape but is composed of olive green slime with no
distinguishing marks or facial features observable as if it was a creature-shaped blob of ooze. It can speak
to others of its kind through telepathy, but otherwise makes no sound or noise.
Creating a Slime Zombie
Slime zombie is an acquired template that can be added to any corporeal creature except undead,
constructs, or elementals (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
CR: See the table below.
AL: Always neutral.
72
Type: The creatures type changes to plant. It loses any subtypes it has, such as alignment subtypes (such
as good) and subtypes that indicate kind (such as augmented or reptilian). It otherwise uses the base
creatures statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Senses: A slime zombie gains darkvision 60 ft and low-light vision.
Armor Class: Natural armor bonus increases by a number based on the slime zombies Size as in the table
below.
Hit Dice: Drop any Hit Dice from non-racial class levels (to a minimum of 1), double the number of Hit
Dice left, and convert them to d8s.
Saves: A slime zombie has good Fortitude saves and poor Reflex and Will saves.
Defensive Abilities: A slime zombie gains DR based on its Hit Dice: DR 5/-- (if 5 or less HD); DR 10/-- (if
6 to 10 HD); DR 15/-- (if 11 or more HD). It gains immunity to electricity in addition to all of the defensive
abilities granted by the plant type.
Weaknesses: A slime zombie has vulnerability to green slime. It takes 2d6 points of damage per round it
touches green slime. If brought to 0 hit points, the slime zombie does not transform into a patch of olive
slime.
Speed: The base creatures speed decreases by 10 feet (to a minimum of 20 ft.). If the creature had a swim
speed it remains the same. All other types of movement are lost.
Attacks: A slime zombie loses all the attacks of the base creature and gains a slam attack if it did not
already have one. Damage for the slam attack depends on the slime zombies size as in the table below.
Special Attacks: The slime zombie loses all the special attacks of the base creature, but gains the
following:
Death Throes (Ex)
When a slime zombie is brought to 0 hit points, its structure collapses and it transforms in a single round as
a pool of olive slime.
Infestation (Ex)
Any creature hit by the slime zombies slam attack must succeed on a Fortitude save or be infested with
olive slime. This infestation works as described in the olive slime entry. The save DC is Constitution-based.
BAB: A slime zombies save base attack is equal to 3/4 its Hit Dice.
Abilities: Str +2, Dex 2. Its Int changes to 2, its Wis to 10, and its Cha to 1.
Skills: A slime zombie loses all of its skill ranks. It gains Perception as a class skill and can never possess
any skills other than that. It gains skill ranks as a plant.
Feats: A slime zombie retains all of the base creatures feats (but may not be able to use a feat if it loses the
prerequisites).
Special Qualities: The slime zombie loses all of the special qualities of the base creature, but gains the
following:
Mind Link (Su)
73
A slime zombie is linked symbiotically with the patch of olive slime that created it. This link has a
maximum range of 200 miles. Both the slime zombie and olive slime must be on the same plane of
existence.
Telepathic Bond (Su)
Olive slime zombies have a telepathic bond with each other to a range of 100 feet if they were created by
the same olive slime. This bond allows them rudimentary communication with one another

attack if it makes a breath attack.)

Converting Other Dragon Types

First find (or make) a full Pathfinder description of the dragon type you want to convert, Make sure you
include its elemental subtype (if any) and alignment.
Example: Nora is a fan of Naomi Novaks Temeraire Series so decides to convert the Sovereign Imperial
Dragon (of Bestiary 3) as it is closest to that books Tien Lung. According to the book Sovereign Dragons
have no subtype and are Neutral.
On a copy of the Dragon Racial Chart place all the dragons Age Levels on the appropriate column
depending on the Level/Hit Dice that Age falls upon. This is the main step in the conversion and everything
depends on it.
Now label the 1st level age category Hatchling and the 32nd category as Paragon.
Example: Looking at the stats for a sovereign dragon Nora finds that a Wyrmling of that breed has 8 hit
dice so a Sovereign dragon reaches Wyrmling age at 8th level. The 10 hit dice Very Young Dragon reaches
that stage at level 10, the 12 Hit dice Young dragon reaches young age at level 12, the 14 hit dice Juvenile
reaches that stage at level 14, and so on.
In the columns indicated in the row containing each age level write down the Size, Caster Level, and
Breath Weapon Damage (if any).
In the columns indicated Special at the appropriate age level write down the AC, SR (if any), Size
modifiers, Speed and Special Abilities exactly as found in source entry. Now add the +1 Strength increase
per age level and any Dexterity penalty due to size.
Example: Nora does as indicated and ends up with a partially filled Class chart. Here is the example chart
up to Very Young age:

Now fill in the blanks and empty levels in the following ways
1.
In Age everything up to the next Age Category is the same, so a dragon is a Hatchling until it
reaches the level marked Wyrmling and is a Wyrmling until it reaches Young age, and so on.
82
2.
Size is handled the same as age, with a dragon being one size until it reaches another.
3.
Base Attack Bonus: Simply change the given value up or down the scale (as indicated) by one per
category.
4.
Breath Weapon: Simply change the number of dice to be rolled by one per level. For example, if
the breath is 8d4 for a level 12th dragon then it would be 9d4 for a 13th level dragon and 7d4 for a
11th level dragon. If a dragon does not have a breath weapon simply mark with the nil symbol.
5.
Speed: If the speed changes with age simply give that ability as a bonus in the appropriate
Special age in which it manifests. For example, a dragon with a Wyrmling speed of 60, Fly 100
that has its speed increased to 60, fly 150 at Juvenile age will have a Fly +50 in the Special
column under Juvenile.
6.
SR: Spell Resistance is indicated in the Special column. As it changes with age simply give the
changes as a bonus to SR at the appropriate age level. For example, a dragon that gains Spell
Resistance 20 at Adult age will have Gains SR: 20 written in at the appropriate level. This same
dragons SR increases to 25at the Mature Adult stage so it would have SR+5 written in the
appropriate row.
7.
Distribute Special Abilities: Fill up those empty levels with the various items you now have
marked in the Special column under the appropriate age. The first level of an age category
should always contain the +1 Strength Bonus and any AC bonuses that are gained with the
dragons new armored hide. The other features can be distributed as you like - one to three
abilities per level - until all the rows have been used. If necessary give the dragon spell-like
abilities or a bonus feat to round out the list so there are no empty levels.
Nora fills in the blanks on the chart. Distributing abilities fairly. Here is the same example chart given
above, now with the blanks filled in and the Special features distributed evenly throughout the
appropriate age level

Now determine the attribute bonuses and penalties and write it out. This can be easily done by looking at
the dragons Wyrmling Attributes. The Target Number of each attribute is 10 and every two attributes
above the target number gets a +1 bonus and every two points below gets a -1 penalty.
Write out a definition of each special ability and you now have another dragon PC to game with.
Example: Nora determines the attributes for a Wyrmling Sovereign Dragon as given in Bestiary 3.
83
Str 17, Dex 14, Con 15, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 14
Strength 17-10 =7; 7 divided by 2 = 3.5 rounded down to 3 so the dragons Strength bonus is +3. Nora
does the same calculation with the rest of the attributes and writes the results down. She finds that the
Sovereign dragon gets no special ability at level 1 so gives it a bonus feat in that slot.
At last she is finished and here is the result
Sovereign Dragons are golden scaled imperial dragons that live in the mountains of the Far East. A
Sovereign dragon breathes a cone shaped blast ear shattering sound and hurricane force winds and all
dragons of this race take no damage from sonic attacks. Sovereign Dragon class skills are: Appraise Bluff,
Heal, Perform, and Spellcraft. Most Sovereign dragons are Neutral in alignment and have no subtype.
Sovereign Dragons have the following Ability Adjustments: Strength +3, Dexterity +2, Constitution +2,
Starting Movement: 60
Starting Natural AC: 2 (natural 0, size +2)
Sovereign Dragon Abilities
Change Shape (Su) The dragon can assume any humanoid form three times per day as polymorph.
Dogmatic Discordance (Su) Good or evil creatures take a 2 penalty when making saving throws against
the dragons spells, spell-like abilities, breath weapon, and aura.
Golden Armor (Su) Once per day as a standard action, the dragon can cover its form in golden armor,
granting it a +4 armor bonus to AC and energy resistance 15 to one energy type, chosen at the time the
armor is summoned. This armor lasts for a number of rounds equal to the dragons age category. The
sovereign dragon can dismiss the armor as a free action.
Master Counterspelling (Su) The dragon can counterspell once per round as an immediate action. It need
not know the spell it is countering, but can instead expend any spell that is one level higher to automatically
counter the spell.
Spells: Sovereign dragons gain the spells Detect Evil/Good at very young age, Calm Emotions at Juvenile
age, Tongues at Adult Age, Sympathetic Vibration at Old age, Prismatic Spray at Ancient Age, and
Moment of Presence at Great Wyrm Age.
84
Violent Retort (Ex) When the dragon takes damage from a melee attack critical hit, it can, as an
immediate action, make a claw or tail slap attack against the creature that made the critical hit.
