Description
The good-aligned metallic dragons spend their years pursuing various aims, from gaining rank in humanoid society to gathering the most priceless artifacts and art. They are generally good, altruistic creatures; worshipping Bahamut whom they regard as their king. However, some dedicate their lives to scouring the literature of humanoids, searching for new artifacts or a higher understanding of arcane, divine, or natural magics.
Trained Mind. These dragons tend to have less physical prowess, compensated for by expanded magical abilities. Upon first inspection, it may seem that they are weaker compared to their more traditional counterparts, yet their combat abilities can be surprising to unknowing threats.
Isolated Hermits. Bookish dragons aren't seen among the social elite, or taking part in nobility or government. They have created their lair away (though not too far) from civilization. They will leave their lair, embarking on long treks to search for new and exotic reads.
Notes:
The damage from Chromatic Breath is added on to the the base breath attack by the metallic dragon. Do not use all the dragon's legendary actions attempting to recharge their breath. It is suggested to use it once and save the other two for damaging abilities.
