This cube is about an inch across. Each face has a distinct marking on it that can be pressed. The cube starts with 36 charges, and it regains 1d20 expended charges daily at dawn.
You can use an action to press one of the cube's faces, expending a number of charges based on the chosen face, as shown in the Cube of Force Faces table. Each face has a different effect. If the cube has insufficient charges remaining, nothing happens. Otherwise, a barrier of invisible force springs into existence, forming a cube 15 feet on a side. The barrier is centered on you, moves with you, and lasts for 1 minute, until you use an action to press the cube's sixth face, or the cube runs out of charges. You can change the barrier's effect by pressing a different face of the cube and expending the requisite number of charges, resetting the duration.
If your movement causes the barrier to come into contact with a solid object that can't pass through the cube, you can't move any closer to that object as long as the barrier remains.
Cube of Force Faces
Face | Charges | Effect |
1 | 1 | Gases, wind, and fog can't pass through the barrier. |
2 | 2 | Nonliving matter can't pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. |
3 | 3 | Living matter can't pass through the barrier. |
4 | 4 | Spell effects can't pass through the barrier. |
5 | 5 | Nothing can pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. |
6 | 0 | The barrier deactivates. |
The cube loses charges when the barrier is targeted by certain spells or comes into contact with certain spell or magic item effects, as shown in the table below.
Spell or item | Charges lost |
Disintegrate | 1d12 |
Horn of Blasting | 1d10 |
Passwall | 1d6 |
Prismatic Spray | 1d20 |
Wall of Fire | 1d4 |
Metallic dragons are a type of dragon distinguished typically by the color and composition of their scales, which are like that of various metals, hence the name. They were generally good, altruistic, and righteous creatures. Despite their relatively benign nature, metallic dragons were also aggressive when threatened or challenged.
Types
Although there were many metallic dragon species, the following are the ones known by sages of Avada;
Gold dragons
Gold dragons are the most powerful and majestic of the classic metallic dragons. They are wise, lawful foes of evil and injustice. Gold dragons were very knowledgeable and reclusive. They preferred stone lairs and had a cone of fire as a breath weapon.
Silver dragons
Silver dragons are regal, lawful good creatures who often take a humanoid form and live among humans and elves. Their breath weapon was a cone of freezing cold, and they normally lived in the mountains. They were very smart and preferred not to fight unless necessary.
Bronze dragons
Bronze dragons are inquisitive dragons with a fierce appearance and a fascination for warfare. They would often seek to fight evil and would join good-aligned armies in a humanoid form. They were lawful good, lived in coastal areas, and had an electrical breath weapon.
Copper dragons
Copper dragons are born pranksters, jokesters, and riddlers. They were chaotic good and lived in rocky mountains. Copper dragons had an acid-breath weapon but preferred to avoid combat altogether, instead taunting and teasing foes until they left.
Brass dragons
Brass dragons are extremely talkative and love the intense heat of deserts. They often engage foes and friends alike in hours of long-winded conversation. They avoid combat if possible, but will use their breath weapon, a cone of sleeping gas, to subdue foes if threatened. They are the weakest of the classic metallic dragons, but still chaotic good.
Mercury dragons
Mercury dragons are whimsical, impulsive creatures. They delight in unpredictability and are reputed to be mentally unstable as well.
Iron dragons
Iron dragons are powerful, dangerous predators. While most have a neutral alignment, some are evil.
Steel dragons
Steel dragons are sociable, clever, and curious, and they prefer the company of humanoids rather than dragons. They often clandestinely lived in humanoid cities and spent much of their time in a humanoid form. They breathe a cone of poison gas.
Platinum dragons
The rarest, largest, and most powerful of the metallic dragons, platinum dragons represented the epitome of the metallic dragons. Many believed that only one ever existed.
