Commanding Voice (Su)

The dragon adds 2 to the DCs of saves against its spells with language-dependent or sonic descriptors.

Those slain by the infernal dragon’s breath weapon are condemned to Hell. Anyone attempting to resurrect such a creature must succeed at a caster level check equal to 10 + the dragon’s CR, or the spell fails.

Hellfire (Su)

Half of the damage from hellfire is fire damage, and half is unholy energy that bypasses fire resistance and immunity.

Infernal Aide (Sp)

Once per day, the dragon can summon a contract devil as per summon monster IX with a duration of 1 hour.

Inscrutable (Ex)

An infernal dragon gains a bonus on saves against divination spells and effects equal to its age category number.

Invoke Hell (Sp)

An infernal dragon can use fire storm and meteor swarm as spell-like abilities once per day each. All fire damage caused by these spell-like abilities functions as hellfire.

Oppressive Heat (Su)

A creature that fails its save against an infernal dragon’s breath weapon can’t benefit from morale bonuses for 1 minute. If the creature fails another save against the breath weapon during this time, it is staggered for 1 round.
