The Orbs of Dragonkind

Each of these fabled orbs contains the essence and personality of an ancient dragon of a different variety (one for each of the major ten different chromatic and metallic dragons). The bearer of an Orbcan dominatedragons of its particular variety within 500 feet (as dominate monster), the dragon being forced to make a DC 25 Will save to resist. (Spell resistance is not useful against this effect.) Each Orb of Dragonkindbestows upon the wielder the AC and saving throw bonuses of the dragon within. These values replace whatever values the character would otherwise have, whether they are better or worse. These values cannot be modified by any means short of ridding the character of the *Orb.*A character possessing an Orb of Dragonkindis immune to the breath weapon—but only the breath weapon—of the dragon variety keyed to the *Orb.*Finally, a character possessing an Orbcan herself use the breath weapon of the dragon in the Orbthree times per day.

All Orbs of Dragonkindcan be used to communicate verbally and visually with the possessors of the other *Orbs.*The owner of an Orbknows whether there are dragons within 10 miles at all times. For dragons of the Orb’s particular variety, the range is 100 miles. If within 1 mile of a dragon of the Orb’s variety, the wielder can determine the exact location and age of the creature. The bearer of one of these Orbsearns the enmity forever of all dragonkind for profiting by the enslavement of one of their kin, even if she later loses the item.

Each Orbalso has an individual power that can be invoked once per round at 10th caster level.
