Psionic Shift (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon releases a wave of telekinetic energy from its mind. Every creature within 15 feet must make a DC 24 Intelligence saving throw or take 15 (2d6 + 8) force damage and be knocked prone. The dragon then can move up to half its movement speed
Psionics
Charges: 26 Recharge: 1d10 Fracture: 32
Each dragon begins with a number of charges based on their age. They can expend these charges to cast psionic manifestations. Many of these manifestations have a base cost and can be enhanced by expending
more charges. Over time, the dragon’s crystals conduct more psionic energies into its body, recharging its power. At the end of each of its turns, roll the recharge die and restore that many charges. Each dragon also has a fracture score. Each time it takes more damage than its Fracture score in a single turn, its crystalline form fractures, diminishing its ability to recharge its power. Roll the recharge die and reduce the dragon’s maximum charges by the result. This damage heals itself upon finishing a long rest.
AMPLIFY
Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self
Duration: 1 minute Charges: 4
The dragon focuses the power of its mind and wreaths its teeth, claws, and tail in glowing psionic force. For the next minute, all of its melee attacks deal an extra 3d8 psychic damage.
THE REAL
Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour Charges: 4
The dragon sees the real reality. It can tell what is an illusion, and it sees invisible creatures and creatures
hidden or disguised by magic. Magical darkness does not affect it, and it can see into the Ethereal Plane.
FLAY
Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: Self (60-foot cone)
Duration: 1 round Charges: 2 per d6 of damage
As a bonus action, the dragon blasts pure psionic energy from its eyes, frying the brains of all creatures in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, it takes psychic damage of a d6 per 2 charges spent, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Lair and Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects. The dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row.
• The dragon manifests amplify at no cost.
• The dragon manifests the real at no cost. It does not require concentration and lasts for 10 minutes.
• The dragon casts dispel magic. The spell automatically ends spells of 5th level or lower. For each spell of 6th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using the dragon’s Intelligence as its spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s leveI. On a successful check, the spell ends
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary red dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Small earthquakes are common within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair.
- Intelligent creatures who sleep within 12 miles of a ruby dragon’s lair dream of people they know transforming into other people, of places they’ve been dissolving to reveal barren wastelands.
- Rocky fissures within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair have large deposits of ruby veins of ore lining the walls.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
