COMBAT

War Dragons normally only enter combat with a mounted rider. All war dragons are specially trained to protect their rider but are fierce combatants when ordered to fight. These dragons favor using their vicious claw attacks when fighting opponents on the ground. They use their bite and tail slap when executing a flyby attack unless otherwise ordered by their rider.

Dragon Immunities (Ex): Immune to sleep and paralysis effects. Immune to Cold and Sonic effects.

Blindsight (Ex): A war dragon can ascertain creatures by nonvisual means (mostly hearing and scent, but also by noticing vibration and other environmental clues).

Keen Senses (Ex): A war dragon sees four times as well a human in low-light conditions and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision with a range of 500 ft.
