''Breath Weapon (Pr):'' A coin dragon has a breath weapon: a ranged touch attack of molten metal that deals 1d12 fire and bludgeoning damage per Hit Die the coin dragon possesses. In addition, a coin dragon's breath weapon explodes on contact, dealing 1d6 fire and bludgeoning damage per Hit Die the coin dragon possesses to all creatures within 5' of the target (including the target should the initial ranged touch attack miss). A Reflex save (DC 10 + the dragon's Hero Value + its Constitution modifier) negates the splash damage. In both instances, half the damage (round up) is fire; the other half (round down) is bludgeoning. For the purposes of overcoming damage reduction, a coin dragon's breath weapon is considered magic.

-

A target directly struck by a coin dragon's breath weapon must make a Fortitude save on its turn each round thereafter, to a maximum number of rounds equal to the coin dragon's Constitution modifier: a failed save reduces all the affected creature's speeds by half and inflicts 1d6 fire damage per point of Constitution modifier the coin dragon possesses. A second failed save reduces all speeds to 0' and the creature is immobilized. A third failed save encases the creature in metal: a creature encased in this way begins to suffocate, may only take purely mental actions, threatens no squares, and ~~continues to take fire damage each round thereafter, allowing no saving throw~~.

A third failed save encases the creature in metal: a creature encased in this way begins to suffocate, may only take purely mental actions, threatens no squares, and automatically fails Reflex saves.

A creature affected by this ability can escape the molten metal with a Acrobatics check (DC 10 + the dragon's Hero Value + its Constitution modifier) or can break the hardening metal off of them with a Strength check (DC 10 + the dragon's Hero Value + its Constitution modifier + 4): a successful check in either instance ends the affect immediately. Similarly, spells or effects that melt gold (such as ''fireball'') can remove the effect from an affected creature, but they may contain dangerous side effects (such as a ''fireball'''s fire damage)--any spell that would affect the metal encasing the creature would similarly affect the creature inside, even if the creature inside is not normally a valid target. A creature already affected by a coin dragon's breath weapon (regardless of source) that is damaged by a second coin dragon's breath weapon resets the duration of the ongoing breath weapon's saves as long as the new duration would be longer than the existing duration; otherwise, use the existing duration. In either instance, use the highest DC and fire damage per round.

Once a creature is encased in metal by failing three saves, the hardened metal must be broken off before the creature can be freed. The metal has hardness 10 and 30 Hit Points per inch of thickness: an encased creature typically has one inch of hardened metal surrounding them. Once a creature is encased, additional applications of a coin dragon's breath weapon add half an inch of thickness per use. An entrapped creature can break out with a DC 28 Strength check, or other creatures may attempt to break off or melt the metal off of the encased creature. Any physical damage inflicted to the metal also damages the creature encased within for half damage. Energy damage inflicted to the metal also damages the creature encased within for equal damage. Spells or effects that specifically alter or melt metal but inflict no damage deal 1d8 points of damage per caster level of the originating effect. The damage is magic piercing and slashing if it shapes metal, and is fire damage if it melts metal. In the case of an effect that has no caster level but still manipulates or melts metal, substitute the source's Hit Dice for caster level when determining damage.
