Conversion Notes: This package represents the minimum abilities of a young (16 to 25 year old) chrome dragon from the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons role playing game. This write-up uses Champions 5th edition rules.
Chrome dragons are one of the larger uncommon dragon types. Although it can survive in any climate, it prefers arctic conditions. They can breath a cone of freezing crystals or a bolt of ice. They can also attack with their powerful claws and bite.
Although generally considered an evil race of dragons, player characters can play any alignment. The major enemies of the chrome dragon include white dragons, gray dragons and silver dragons.
Their favorite food is meat of any kind. Like most dragons they can live for over 1000 years, sense the presence of invisible things, see in the dark, are immune to sleep and hold spells, and have large wings which allow flight.
