A chimera is about 5 feet tall at the shoulder, nearly 10 feet long, and weighs about 4,000 pounds. A chimera?s dragon head might be black, blue, green, red, or white.
Chimeras can speak Draconic but seldom bother to do so, except when toadying to more powerful creatures.

[top]COMBAT

The chimera prefers to surprise prey. It often swoops down from the sky or lies concealed until it charges. The dragon head can loose a breath weapon instead of biting. Several chimeras attack in concert.
Breath Weapon (Su): A chimera?s breath weapon depends on the color of its dragon head, as summarized on the table below. Regardless of its type, a chimera?s breath weapon is usable once every 1d4 rounds, deals 3d8 points of damage, and allows a DC 17 Reflex save for half damage. The save DC is Consitution-based.
To determine a chimera?s head color and breath weapon randomly, roll 1d10 and consult the table below.
1d10Head ColorBreath Weapon
1?2Black40-foot line of acid
3?4Blue40-foot line of lightning
5?6Green20-foot cone of gas (acid)
7?8Red20-foot cone of fire
9?10White20-foot cone of cold
Skills: A chimera?s three heads give it a +2 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks.
  • In areas of scrubland or brush, a chimera gains a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks.

Carrying Capacity: A light load for a chimera is up to 348 pounds; a medium load, 349?699 pounds, and a heavy load, 700?1,050 pounds.
