Variant: Dragons as Innate Spellcasters
Dragons are innately magical creatures that can master a few spells as they age, using this variant.
A young or older dragon can innately cast a number of spells equal to its Charisma modifier. Each spell can be cast once per day, requiring no material components, and the spell's level can be no higher than one-third the dragon's challenge rating (rounded down). The dragon's bonus to hit with spell attacks is equal to its proficiency bonus + its Charisma bonus. The dragon's spell save DC equals 8 + its proficiency bonus + its Charisma modifier.
This dragon can innately cast two spells, once per day each, requiring no material components. Each spell's level can be no higher than 2nd. The dragon's spell save DC is 13, and it has +5 to hit with spell attacks. See the spell page for a list of spells the dragon is capable of casting. A selection of examples are shown below:
