Description
A Dragonne appears as a strange combination of a lion and dragon, possessing huge claws, fangs, and eyes. Its scales and stiff hair are the color of brass. A dragonne is about 12 feet long and weighs about 700 pounds. It is very intelligent and communicates in one or more languages of its home territory. A dragonne's wings are useful only for short flights, carrying the creature for 10 to 20 minutes at a time at relatively slow speeds.
A dragonne attacks by biting and clawing. In addition, every 1d4 rounds a dragonne can produce a tremendous roar. To anyone within 120 feet, the roar causes temporary weakness, resulting in a -2 penalty to attack rolls, damage, and any Strength checks for 2d6 rounds unless they make a saving throw. Those within 30 feet are also deafened for the same period, with no save allowed. A deafened creature can react only to what it can see or feel, is surprised on 1-3 on 1d6, and suffers a -1 penalty to its initiative rolls. However, a deafened creature is immune to further roars until its deafness alleviates (after the 2d6 rounds).
