Multiattack.
The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite.
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature.
Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) piercing damage.
Claw.
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage.
Sodium Breath (Recharge 5-6).
The dragon exhales pure liquid sodium in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each unoccupied space in the line that contains any amount of exposed water causes an explosion which deals 27 (5d10) fire damage to all creatures and objects within 15 feet, or half as much on a successful DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. Each creature in that line must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be coated in foul smelling sodium slime. At the start of the dragon’s next turn the sodium ignites and all creatures covered in sodium take 60 (11d10) fire damage. If a creature covered in sodium comes into contact with water before the sodium ignites, the sodium coating the creature explodes causing all creatures and objects within 15 feet of the victim to take 60 (11d10) fire damage, or half as much on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. The primary victim automatically fails this save. A creature can use an action to douse themselves or an adjacent ally in oil to prevent the sodium slime from exploding for 1d4 hours, however, this will not prevent detonation due to exposure to water or future sodium breath attacks from exploding.
Description
Cold and calculating, orange dragons are just as likely to unleash a mighty roar while making for a defiant charge as they are to attack from ambush. Whatever the most advantageous strategy is, and often the one most likely to cause terror in their enemy, is the strategy the orange dragon opts for. Aside from their scales of blazing orange, the trademark feature of the orange dragon is its long, flat set of jaws similar to that of a crocodile. While no complete and agreed upon record of the orange dragon’s origin exists, it is widely agreed that they are the result of a rare mating between red and yellow dragons. Possessing both the unbridled ferocity of red dragons, and the patient nature of the yellow dragon, makes for a deadly combination. In no way is the melding of draconic heritage made more clear than in a demonstration of the orange dragon’s breath weapon, a line of pure sodium that can both ignite into flame and explode.
