Long, lean and slender, with narrow wings, wicked talons and short thin horns, shade dragons are cloaked in tiny, adamantine-hard scales of a deep, velvety black; some few among them possess shining highlights on the tips of some scales, like smoky stars, and their eyes are an inky blue-black. Shade dragons prefer to lair within the deepest and most lightless of dungeons, or -- strangely enough -- in cavern-riddled mountain peaks, from which they emerge only at night. They are cryptic, inscrutable and nearly unfathomable beasts.
A shade dragon's breath weapon is a cloud of clinging, effervescent, roiling darkness, 50' x 50'. If a second save vs. Breath is failed, a character is blinded until a remove curse is administered. Shade dragons have a 100% chance of talking, a 5% chance of being asleep, and may cast five first-level, four second-level and four third level Magic-User spells per day.

Very neat.
What does the first save protect you against?
@trollsmyth:
The first save determines if you take half or full damage from the breath weapon, as per normal rules.
Ah, duh! For some reason, I was thinking it didn't do any physical damage, but was just a lingering area of darkness. :p My bad.
