Cold Wind
When you reach 15th level, your wings have grown a
considerable size. You can beat your wings to create a gust of
wind in one direction for up to 30 feet. Any creature caught in
this gust must succeed on a Strength saving throw with a DC
of 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus.
A failed saving throw causes the creature to be pushed
backwards and be knocked prone, taking 1d8 per 10 feet that
they are thrown and an additional 1d8 of cold damage. You
may use this gust at anytime, so long as you maintain
concentration and you may make no other actions but to beat
your wings. This wind blows out unprotected fires, and
covered fires have a 50% chance of being put out.
Paralyzing Breath
At 18th level the dragon exhales a paralyzing gas in a 60-foot
cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw with a DC of 8 + your Wisdom
modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, a
creature is paralyzed for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect
on itself on a success.
