Breath Weapons (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds a Chromatic dragon can breath a 60ft line of acid, a 60 ft line of electricity, a 30 ft cone of acid, a 30 ft cone of cold, or a 30 ft cone of fire. Each time it uses it's breath weapon the chromatic dragon can change which effect it uses.


Chromatic Dragons are the result of mad experements performed by an ancient black wyrm name Tanncragoro, in an effort to find a way to achieve godhood. He reasoned that if he could create a race that would worship him as a god, then perhaps it would elevate him to godhood. To that end he used secret rituals and alchemical formulas to infuse a clutch of black dragon eggs with the properties of all five chromatic dragons.

The resulting Chromatic Dragons were much smaller and weaker then any "true" dragon, but had properties of all the dragons Tanncragorro tried to infuse into his new breed. More importantly they where born with a fanatical devotion to their "father" and would do what ever he said. Rather then destroy the failed experement, Tanncagoro kept them as servants to fulfill missions for him while he continues his vile experiments.
