Dragonstone

Manaketes are specially trained in the usage of dragonstones, stones which harbor their hidden power. This dragonstone allows them to transform into a dragon until the end of an encounter. While transformed the Manakete's size changes to Huge and they acquire a bite attack (2d6), two claw attacks (1d8), two wing attacks (1d8), and a tail slap (2d6). All of these deal damage appropriate to the Manakete's current size. They also receive a fly speed equal to 6 squares, a +5 natural armor bonus to Reflex Defense, and a 6 sq. ranged attack which deals 3d6 energy damage where the energy type is the one chosen at character creation from the Manakete species.

Natural attacks while in this form bypass DR/Magic, and their ranged attack is a magical attack which uses Charisma for to-hit and damage in place of physical attributes.

After transforming into this form, the Manakete requires at least 1d4 minutes worth of rest before they can transform into their draconic form once more. If they choose to transform anyways, they are Fatigued while in their draconic form and once they transform back their Fatigue transforms into Exhaustion until they receive a full 8 hours rest.

Due to the nature of this class, only Manaketes can select it.
