Manipulate Flames (Su) The dragon can control any fire spell within 130 feet as a swift action. This ability allows it to move any fire effect in the area, as if it were the caster. This ability also allows it to reposition a stationary fire effect, although the new placement must be one allowed by the spell. Finally, for 1 round following the use of this ability, the dragon can control any new fire spell cast within its area of control, as if it were the caster. It can make all decisions allowed to the caster, including canceling the spell if it so desires.
Melt Stone (Su) The dragon can use its breath weapon to melt rock at a range of 100 feet, affecting a 65-foot-radius area. The area becomes lava to a depth of 1 foot. Any creature in contact with the lava takes 20d6 points of fire damage on the first round, 10d6 on the second, and none thereafter as the lava hardens and cools. If used on a wall or ceiling, treat this ability as an avalanche that deals fire damage.
Incinerate (Su) A creature reduced to fewer than 0 hit points by its breath weapon must make a Fortitude save (DC 36). Failure indicates that the creature is reduced to ash. Creatures destroyed in this way can only be restored to life through true resurrection or similar magic.
Command Red Dragon (Su) Any red dragon treats the commands of an elder red wyrm as a suggestion (DC 33).
Death Throes All creatures within 80 ft. of an elder red wyrm upon its death take 10d6 bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 36 half) and 13d10 fire damage (Fortitude DC 36 half) per round as the wyrm convulses and thrashes for a minute before finally dying.
Notes The dracos invictus was the 13th age category for dragons created by Gary Gygax for Mongoose Publishing's Slayer's Guide to Dragons.
that is the scariest dragon i think ive ever seen
Does it only have 6 dex or is that a typo? I could understand it only have 6 dex since so large and what not.
Great red wyrms have 6 Dex. While I advanced a great wyrm's other statistics by 4, I did not think that elder wyrms ought to suddenly become more dextrous.
looks good although I'm unfamiliar with the original. You may want to recheck the AC however.

= 45, touch 0, ff 45. If you have some insight as to why that is wrong, I'd be happy to hear.
