Legendary Resistance (3/Day, or 4/Day in Lair). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Multiattack. The dragon makes three Rend attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of (A) Paralyzing Breath or (B) Spellcasting to cast Ice Knife.

Paralyzing Breath. Constitution Saving Throw: DC 20, each creature in a 60-foot Cone. First Failure: The target has the Incapacitated condition until the end of its next turn, when it repeats the save. Second Failure: The target has the Paralyzed condition, and it repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. After 1 minute, it succeeds automatically.

Posted Feb 8, 2025So a Silver Dragon can just paralyze the entire party, every single round, forever, while also still getting a couple of Rends in each round. (not to mention Legendaries.)

Posted Mar 5, 2025Although it doesn't say it, it has to choose between the cold or paralyzing breath. All breath attacks are recharged on 5-6.

Posted Jun 1, 2025This is at this level that silver dragon paralyzing breath just become completly ridiculously op. Make it a recharge, and not able to use multi attack (or have only 1 attack) when using it, or else its ridiculous except if the whole party is proficient in con saves for some reasons. (And even than, that could become an annoying and toxic fight really fast).
For the rest, i in fact like that statblock (cool innate spellcasting...) But they clearly didnt had any after thought while making that breath.
