Radiant dragons are majestic creatures. They are similar
in appearance to amethyst dragons, but much larger. Their
skin is a shimmering mass of silky material which constantly
changes colour.
Radiant dragons speak their own tongue and a tongue
common to all elemental dragons. Also, 20% of hatchling
radiant dragons can speak with any intelligent creature. The
chance to posses this ability increases 6% per age
category.
Combat:
Radiant dragons are honourable and respectful of their
opponents. They are not foolish, however. They will take
advantage of any weakness and attack their opponent without
mercy.
Breath Weapon/Special
Abilities: A radiant dragon's breath
weapon is a stream of brilliant radiance, 50' long, 20'
high, and 10' wide. This instantly kills any creature of
less than 6 HD that doesn't save vs. dragon breath, a
successful save still induces blindness for 2d20 rounds and
the creature takes the damage listed below. A creature of
more than 12 HD that makes its save takes half the damage
and isn't blinded, otherwise they take full damage and are
blinded for the same length of time.
- Radiant dragons cast spells and use their magical
abilities at 15th-level plus their combat modifiers.

few live on the Prime Material Plane, most dwell on the
Plane of Radiance. Radiant dragons prefer to layer in areas
of brilliant light displays, such as in crystal chambers
where colourful light is reflected.
Some 50% of radiant dragons are neutral in alignment, of
the rest, half are good and half evil. On the law-chaos
axis, 40% of radiant dragons are lawful, 40% neutral, and
only 20% chaotic.
Ecology:
Radiant dragons eat little, if anything at all. They
usually only eat right before going into a long sleep,
usually consuming a few large animals. When they are awake,
light seems to sustain them.
