Breath Weapon (Su): A steel dragon has two kinds of breath weapons: a line of acid and a cone of poisonous gas. Every creature within the area of the poisonous gas must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1 point of Constitution damage per age category of the dragon. It must then succeed on a second save at the same DC 1 minute later or take the same amount of damage.

Minor Arcane Shield (Su): A steel dragon's spell resistance against 1st- and 2nd-level arcane spells is higher than normal by +10.

Moderate Arcane Shield (Su): A steel dragon's spell resistance against 3rd- and 4th-level arcane spells is higher than normal by +10.

Poison Resistance (Ex): A steel dragon gets a +10 racial bonus on all Fortitude saving throws against poison.

Spell-Like Abilities: 5/day -- polymorph; 1/day -- charm person, enthrall, mass charm, mass suggestion, suggestion.

Skills: Bluff, Craft (any), and Profession (any) are considered class skills for steel dragons.
