The world of Elden Ring, a hauntingly beautiful yet desolate land of gold that is scarred from war.


Author's Note: Still have a ton of work to do -Still trying to figure out how to work casting into classes. -Slowly adding items, monsters, and NPCs -All 307 base game weapons and 171 base game spells added. added, they will still require balancing but waiting for the combat overhaul before I dig too deeply into that. See the following document for homebrew rules specific to this world. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t7MkfUj7CvzkERJoJGxCYYEd5H6lBEml9pYQl9rHUUY/edit?usp=drivesdk

Description

The Ancient Dragons are formidable creatures that once ruled in a prehistoric era, wielding red lightning as their weapon of choice. Their bodies are covered in light grey scales that resemble sharp, pointed gravel stones, offering them a formidable defense. As guardians of the ancient Dragonlord Placidusax, these dragons have witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, particularly marked by their assault on Leyndell, the Royal Capital, where ancient legends recount the only occasion when its walls were ever breached. These mighty beings are revered not only for their strength and dominion but also for their mythical lightning capabilities, imbued with a sense of divine power.

Actions

Fire Breath

The Ancient Dragon can unleash a powerful breath attack in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 60 (16d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The dragon can't use this action again until it finishes a short or long rest.

Lightning Breath

The Ancient Dragon exhales a line of red lightning in a 120-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 75 (20d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Multiattack

The Ancient Dragon makes three attacks:

Wing Attack

The Ancient Dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 15 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.
