Power Attack (ex) - A Brass Dragon (Great Wyrm) may choose to take a penalty to its attack roll (up to -5). For each point of penalty, the Brass Dragon (Great Wyrm) does one extra point of damage. The Brass Dragon (Great Wyrm) must decide to use power attack at the beginning of its turn and it applies to all attack made until the start of its next turn.
Fire Aura (su, Fire, Aura) - This dragon is surrounded by an aura of intense heat. All creatures within 5 feet of the dragon take 1d6 points of fire damage at the beginning of the dragon's turn. An ancient brass dragon's aura extends to 10 feet. A great wyrm's damage increases to 2d6. A brass dragon can suppress or activate this aura at will as a free action.

Frightful Presence (Free)(ex, Mental, Fear) - As a free action, this creature can demonstrate its frightful presence (usually through a roar or other effect). Opponents who witness this gain level 3 fear for 5d6 rounds. Opponents who succeed on a save are immune to this effect for 24 hours. If the target loses sight of the creature, it gets a new save each round.
Breath Weapon (su, Fire, every 1d4 rounds) - 120-ft. line of Fire, 24d4 fire damage
Crush (ex) - This dragon can land on foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A crush attack affects as many creatures as fit in the dragon's space. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Dex save or take bludgeoning damage and become grappled (level 2). Crush attacks deal damage equal to the maximum melee attack the dragon can make. Grappled targets automatically take this damage again at the beginning of their turns for as long as they remain grappled.
Vital Strike (ex) - As a standard action, the Brass Dragon (Great Wyrm) can make one attack at full bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the damage from the attack twice before adding other damage bonuses. This extra weapon damage is not multiplied on a critical hit but is still added to the total.
Sandstorm (su) - A Brass Dragon (Great Wyrm) can create a sandstorm centered on itself with a radius of 1,200 feet. Other creatures inside the storm take 2d6 points of damage per round. Visibility is reduced in the storm, and objects have 1/4 cover for every 5-feet away they are from you. This storm can be dismissed as a free action.
Desert Wind (su) - This dragon can call up the desert wind to serve him. This functions as gust of wind, but any creature in its path must make a CON save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds by the sand.
Move Sand (su) - This creature can move sand to excavate ruins or hide treasures. This functions as move earth, but it only affects sand.
Sleep Breath (su) - Instead of a line of fire, a brass dragon can breathe a 60 ft. cone of sleep gas. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a CON save or fall asleep for 1d6+12 rounds.
Summon Djinni (sp, 1/day) - This dragon can summon one noble djinni, as per a level 9 summon elemental spell.
Tail Sweep (ex) - As a standard action, this dragon can sweep multiple targets with its tail. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are four or more size categories smaller than the dragon. The sweep deals as much damage to all creatures in range as the tail slap normally does to a single target, though targets can make a Dex save to halve this damage.
