Special Abilities

• • Buffet of the Wing (1 AP + 1 SP): As a Primary Action the •
• dragon buffets its wings, forcing all creatures in a 10m cone
• in front of the dragon to make a -20 Strength test or be
• knocked prone.
• • Flyby (1 AP): As a Secondary Action, the Dragon flies with
• bewildering speed and cannot be targeted by Attacks of
• Opportunity for one round while Flying.
• • Nirn’s Harsh Embrace (1 AP + 2 SP): After making a
• successful melee attack with their Talons, the Dragon can
• spend 2 Stamina Points to then grab the target, provided it
• is sized Large or Smaller. The Dragon then can test Physical
• to fly up to 20m upwards. This is treated as a Grapple, and
• the Dragon can choose to drop the target at any point, caus-
• ing the usual amount of falling damage to be incurred.
• • Dragon Tongue (1 SP): The Dragon can use an Action to
• Shout. They know all common shouts and two legendary
• shouts of the GM’s choice.
• Encountering Elder Dovah
• The Dovah, commonly known as Dragons, are legendary beasts
• of Aedric origin. They are living calamities, capable of destroying
• entire armies and burning cities by themselves.
• Dovah consider themselves to be the progeny of Bormahu,
• known as Akatosh or Auri-El to mortals, and thus view the
• domination of Mundus as their birthright. In ages long since
• forgotten they ruled the world under the leadership of the black
• dragon Alduin, the Firstborn of Akatosh. Their reign only ended
• thanks to the intervention of the Divines on behalf of
• mortalkind.
• Dovah are the deadliest creatures within this book and GMs
• should use them sparingly, if at all. Only the strongest, most
• experienced, and best-equipped parties even have a chance of
• defeating one in battle, and even then the likelihood of the
• party’s death is high.
• Caution should be taken by any GM who wishes to use these
• veritable demigods. If they are used, they should almost certainly
• serve as a final and greatest foe for legendary heroes to face.
• Elder Dovah are a force to be reckoned with, and see an increase
• to their ability to wield the Thu’um. They are only bested by
• their Ancient counterparts.
• Ancient Dovah
• Massive, flying beasts, Dovah are extremely rare and beyond
• dangerous. They are the preeminent masters of Thu’um on the

Encountering Elder Dovah

raits Dragon Fear: The sight of a dragon invokes a primal fear in any creature. The first time a creature sees a dragon causes them to make a -20 Horror test. Any subsequent sightings invoke a -20 Panic test. Dragon’s Hide: Dragons are immune to the Forceful Impact advantage. Immunity (Paralysis, Panic, Horror) Weakness ([Shock, Frost, or Fire], 5) Resistance (Poison, 5) Immune to Normal Weapons Undying: Immune to disease and the effects of aging. Magic Resistant: Re-rolls failed tests to resist Magic. Thick Skull: Immune to Stun and Dazed. Flyer (20) Dark Sight Colossal Strikes: Cannot be parried, but targets gain a +10 on tests to Evade its melee attacks. Strong Jaws: A Bite attack that deals damage automatically starts a Grapple. If the target Counter Attacks a Bite attack, the Counter Attack ignores the creature’s AR and Natural Toughness trait. Weak Point (Underbelly): This creature’s AR is not applied to its underbelly. Precision Strikes can be made targeting this location in addition to the standard hit locations. Special Hit Location: Hits to the arms instead target the dragon’s wings. Innate Thu’um: Shouting only costs 1 SP no matter how many words they use.
