PFS StandardYoung Omen Dragon

Fate is a fickle matter on Golarion. Even with prophecy broken on the world, there are ways to look to the immediate future or acquire a vague sense of long-term events. Omen dragons are bound to see the future—nebulous though it might be—at all times. Visions of the future hound them like a quiet song that never stops playing in their minds. While an omen dragon can focus on or ignore the music of fate at any time, the song plays all the same. At a glance, omen dragons resemble other occult dragons in appearance, save for the mirror-like interior membrane of their wings. An omen dragon's wings offer glimpses into the future. These glimpses are cloudy and vague, but generally correct, if only technically. Omen dragons have a natural compulsion to share the futures they see. These dragons have no compunctions about what the visions show and share their knowledge equally with innocent villagers as they do with wicked tyrants.

This casts a 4th-rank augury spell, except that the wings can predict results up to 1 day into the future and the dragon always speaks a few cryptic words related to the result of the prediction. The dragon can use their wings in this way only once per hour, and a given creature can seek a future in the wings only once per week.

Dragons come in myriad forms, with many having magical abilities or connections to magic. Some dragons draw greater power from magic than others, allowing them to manifest abilities or alter their physiques with prolonged exposure to magic. These dragons become more powerful as they age and strengthen their connections with their magical origins. Scholars debate the classification of these dragons, with some preferring the name magical dragons and others using traditional dragons due to their connection to specific magical traditions. Regardless of their names, these dragons share a number of characteristics: their ability to tap into magical energies, intensified might and cunning as they grow older, and an inclination to hoard vast amounts of treasure and wealth.

Draconic Spellcasters

Each dragon features a sidebar on spellcasting dragons of that type. To make a dragon spellcaster, remove the dragon's Draconic Frenzy and Draconic Momentum abilities, and give them the spells outlined in their sidebar. You can swap out any number of these with other spells, provided you keep the same number of spells for each rank. You might also want to increase the dragon's Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier by 1 or 2 to reflect their mastery of magic.

Sidebar - Related Creatures Gurvallinn

The omen dragon Gurvallinn has become a common sight in the Eye of Dread region of Avistan. The reemergence of the lich Tar-Baphon brought about many dangers for the region. Gurvallinn, beset by countless portents, travels between the nations of the region to share his visions with locals, though many of these warnings are vague, making acting on the information difficult.

Sidebar - Locations Omen Dragon Lairs

Omen dragons maintain multiple lairs, as if different futures require a distinct lair. Each lair has a smaller hoard than that of a typical dragon, but these hoards seem to be more impactful. In addition to riches, an omen dragon hoards items of significance. These could be fabled weapons, cures for a plague yet to happen, or other items that the dragon has seen in a vision and recognizes as important. Many desperate travelers make the journey to these lairs in hopes of finding the miraculous item that will solve their problems. Omen dragons are open to sharing these items, but if the dragon is unsure of the item's purpose, the visitor needs to assure the dragon of the item's fate and not some unforeseen future possibility.
