Breath Weapon (Su): Seradess can breathe a 70-foot cone of fire that deals 28d10 points of damage (Reflex DC 43 half).

Crush (Ex): Seradess can land on foes as a standard action, using her whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents that are Large or smaller. A crush attack affects as many creatures as Seradess can fit under her body. Each creature in the affected area must succeed at a Reflex save (DC 43) or be pinned automatically; taking 4d8+24 points of damage each round until Seradess moves. Seradess can maintain the pin as a normal grapple attack (grapple bonus +78).

Frightful Presence (Su): This ability takes effect automatically when Seradess attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 420 feet are subject to the effect if they have fewer than 46 Hit Dice. A potentially affected creature that succeeds at a Will save (DC 39) remains immune to Seradess's frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, a creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice becomes panicked for 4d6 rounds; one with 5 or more Hit Dice becomes shaken for 4d6 rounds.

Psionics (Sp): 3/day -- biofeedback, burning ray, ectoplasmic armor, firefall, flaming shroud, plane shift, wall of ectoplasm, whitefire; 1/day -- genesis, mind store. Manifester level 23rd; save DC 1d20 + key ability modifier + power level.

Tail Sweep (Ex): As a standard action, Seradess can sweep his tail in a half circle with a 40-foot diameter. Each Medium-size or smaller creature within the tail sweep area automatically takes 2d8+24 points of damage and must succeed at a Reflex save (DC 43) to avoid being knocked down.

Blindsight (Ex): Seradess can ascertain his surroundings by nonvisual means (mostly hearing and scent, but also by noticing vibration and other environmental clues). This ability enables her to discern objects and creatures within a range of 420 feet. Seradess usually does not need to make Spot or Listen checks to notice creatures within range of her blindsight.

Fire Subtype: Seradess is immune to fire damage. She takes double damage from cold unless a saving throw for half damage is allowed, in which case it takes half damage on a success and double damage on a failure.

Low-Light Vision: Seradess sees four times as well as a human in low-light conditions and twice as well in normal light.

Planar Travel (Su): Seradess has the innate ability to pass instantly between the Material Plane and the Inner Planes.

Psionic Powers Known: As 23rd-level shaper (power points 319; save DC = d20 + power level + key ability modifier): All Metacreativity powers.

*Notes about Seradess: Sometime in the past, Sardior destroyed Seradess and banished the obsidian dragons from his court. Sages, and even his own clergy, argue the reason behind this decision. Did he banish the obsidian dragons because they had become evil, or did they become evil because of his choice? In any case, the other gem dragons shun the obsidian dragons, and meetings between them usually lead to conflict. It's still within Sardior's power to bring back Seradess, if he chooses to do so.
