In addition, a coin dragon's breath weapon explodes on contact: the coin dragon selects one square that the target occupies, and creatures in that square or within 5' of that square take 1d6 fire and bludgeoning damage per Hit Die the coin dragon possesses. A Reflex save (DC 10 + the dragon's Hero Value + its Constitution modifier) negates the splash damage, and the targeted creature only needs to make this secondary Reflex save if the initial ranged touch attack misses. 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 automatically fails Reflex saves. | 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 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. | 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.

| - | 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. | + | Once a creature is encased in metal by failing three saves, the hardened metal must be broken off before the creature can be freed.
