Dwelling in high places such as mountaintops or among the clouds, like gold dragons, silver dragons epitomize law and goodness. They are interested in the ways of man and often use shape-changing powers to watch, observe and help people. They prefer to have their lairs in places isolated from prying eyes, however, and thus often place their entrances in lakes or ponds. They have found that their treasure hordes are tempting targets for evil or even neutral adventurers.

Silver dragons usually speak (75%), and if they can speak, usually (75%) cast magic. Occasionally (15%), they will be found asleep. If the dragon is asleep, there is a 1 in 6 chance that it will awaken in the presence of adventurers.

Dragons also sometimes feign sleep.

Special Abilities

Spellcasting: A silver dragon gains spells as if it were a wizard of a level equal to its age category.
Breath Weapon: Silver dragon breath is a blast of frost (like that of a white dragon) or a cloud of paralysing gas (like a green dragon except those who fail their saves are paralysed for 3d4 turns), at the dragon’s option. The dragon may use breath weapons up to three times per day.
Shape-changing: Silver dragons often use shape-changing powers to watch, observe and help people.
