The Dragon appears to be speaking the ancient language of magic.

The gates open and you hear the dragon roar as it moves forward from the gate.

Round 1, Soryn Ambereye First, Go!

[Soryn Ambereye]

Soryn roars and flies into the arena, landing roughly 20 feet in front of the Red. "I could not have been more fortuitous! Come, let us do battle!" The tiefling begins to concentrate deeply, his attention focused inside and on the opposing dragon.

Question:

Can Soryn cast spell normally? Or do I have to use Still and/or Silent Spell to cast in this form?

Soryn uses Detect Evil as a move action.

Spellcraft DC18:

Silent Stilled Haste (Caster Level 17)
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with one natural or manufactured weapon. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)

A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.

All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed.

Answer:

Cast Spells normally, but you will need to cast defensivly or provoke. And you will need to overcome its SR

Detect Evil:

You damn right it is

The large dragon looks down at Soryn and appears to grimace. "Stinking foul gold spawn! You will learn the true meaning of being a dragon!" The dragon inhales and release a full burst of it fire breath

Breath Attack Reflect Save - 31 - Damage 22d10 ⇒ (10, 10, 1, 7, 7, 1, 3, 9, 1, 9, 2, 3, 10, 7, 10, 10, 6, 8, 2, 2, 1, 3) = 122

[Soryn Ambereye]

Question:

Form of the Dragon III makes Soryn immune to fire. Do I still roll a saving throw against the firebreath?

[GM Tierce]

Nope, it was meant for effect, your turn

[Soryn Ambereye]

Soryn shrugs off the firebreath, a grin coming to his draconic face. "Surely you know better than that, Red! HEAVENS, GIVE MIGHT TO MY FURY!" He rushes his opponent, lashing out with a mighty bite!

Activate Arcane Strike (Swift), Charge and Smite Evil with single Bite attack.

1d20 + 49 ⇒ (15) + 49 = 64 Bite Attack; 2d8 + 40 ⇒ (2, 2) + 40 = 44 Damage

Hit/Damage Breakdown:

Hit: 13 BAB + 21 Str Mod + 1 Weapon Focus: Bite + 4 Greater Heroism + 1 Haste + 2 Charging + 9 Smite Evil -2 Huge size
Damage: 21x1.5= 31 Strength + 5 Arcane Strike + 4 Smite Evil (1st Round) vs. an evil-aligned Dragon

[GM Tierce]

The Dragon howls slightly, but then begins to chuckle. "So youngling, its going to be that kind of a fight. So be it!"

Bite Attack 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (16) + 38 = 54 Damage 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (6, 4) + 22 = 32

[Soryn Ambereye]

Question:

I assume his bite counts as magic for the purposes of overcoming DR?

Round: 02
Initiative: 27

Soryn grimaces as the bite strikes home, and roars his pain at the Dragon. "What I lack in years, I shall make up for in passion!" He strikes out with all his fury: teeth, claws, wings and tail!

Bite Attack 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (19) + 47 = 66 Damage 2d8 + 38 ⇒ (3, 2) + 38 = 43
Bite Attack (Haste) 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (10) + 47 = 57 Damage 2d8 + 38 ⇒ (2, 4) + 38 = 44
Claw Attack 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (1) + 47 = 48 Damage 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (2, 4) + 28 = 34
Claw Attack 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (10) + 47 = 57 Damage 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (2, 1) + 28 = 31
Wing Attack 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (15) + 41 = 56 Damage 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Wing Attack 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (15) + 41 = 56 Damage 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Tail Slap Attack 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (16) + 41 = 57 Damage 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (1, 5) + 17 = 23

Breakdown:

Bite and Claw are Primary attacks, and I have Weapon Focus:Bite and Weapon Focus: Claw; the Claw attacks only get 1x Strength bonus to damage. Wings and Tail Slap are Secondary attacks, so they get -5 to hit and only 0.5x Strength bonus to damage. Smite Evil only give +2 damage after the first round.

Dragon 124/391

[Soryn Ambereye]

Round: 03
Initiative: 27

Soryn staggers from the mighty blows, but does not falter. "You are strong, Red, but so am I! And the wrath of the heavens support me! YOU SHALL FALL!" The Gold dragon once again strikes out with all his fury!

[GM Tierce]

Soryn sinks his teeth into the red dragon and continues to beat it with his attacks. Its several seconds before he realises the dragon is no longer moving. A bell sounds.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Our Second win for the day! At least this one lasted longer then two rounds. Soryn Ambereye is our winner!!!!"
