Did they get rid of lair actions?
Yea it seems as though Lair effects are passive
love the artwork but i still wish for a different one than the young version specially cause its stated in the book that its an adult one.
statwise he lost 13 hp his CON an CHA saves but got +10 in initiative.
he doesnt have the frightful presence anymore and no fear spell like the black dragon but is able to turn himself invisible!
for plain dmg. the old one dealt 18 pierce, 5 lightning and 28 slashing (51) while the new one does 48 slashing and 15 lihtning (63). his breath attack lost 6 average dmg.
but now he can replace 1 attack wit shatter for 14 thunder dmg as an range option.
his legendary options let him either go invisible and fly 40 ft, instead of detect someone. instead of tail attack (16 bludgeoning) he now can rend for 16 slashing and 5 lightning and insteat of his old wing attack to get rid of melees he can cast shatter.
overall i love the new drtagon. each one is more special and feels different instead of just being the lightning version.
Is frightful presence gone?
Yeah, only the black dragon and white dragon have a weaker version as a legendary action. All the others got something specific to their lore/traits to replace Frightful Presence.
