Change Shape [one-action] (concentrate, polymorph, primal) The dragon takes on the appearance of a Medium humanoid. This does not change their Speed or their attack and damage bonuses with their Strikes but might change the type their Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning).Draconic Frenzy [two-actions] The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one horn Strike in any order.Draconic Momentum The dragon recharges their Pyroclastic Breath whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.Magma Burrow A magma dragon's burrow Speed functions only when the dragon is Burrowing through magma or molten lava.Magma Tomb [two-actions] (fire, primal) Frequency once per day; Effect The dragon spits a molten boulder at a target within 120 feet. This deals 12d6 fire damage and 5d12 bludgeoning damage, with a DC 40 basic Reflex save. If the creature fails its save, it's encased in magma that instantly cools and has Hardness 10, HP 40, and BT 20. The encased creature can't breathe and is restrained (Escape DC 40).Pyroclastic Breath [two-actions] (fire, primal) The dragon breathes a blast of magma that deals 10d6 fire damage and 5d12 bludgeoning damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 40 basic Reflex save). They can't use Pyroclastic Breath again for 1d4 rounds.Volcanic Purge [one-action] If the next action the dragon uses is Pyroclastic Breath, the magma clings to those it damages. Each creature that fails its save against Pyroclastic Breath takes 5d6 persistent fire damage, and as long as it has this persistent fire damage, it also takes a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds.
