I am starting a campaign.
I am a BIG fan of the "Crystal Cantrips" (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112245) thread, a campaign journal that has been read by many of this forum's members. I wanted a memorable monster like in that campaign.
I also like dragons. (My avatar should have revealed that.) Thus, it only made sense to make a "spellcasting" dragon.
I will post the rest at a later point.

Breath spell (Su): A spelldrake may use any single spell, often as a breath effect, of a level equal to its spell level, once every 1d4 rounds.
Superior Low-light vision: A spelldrake can see a number of times farther than a human in poor light equal to 2+1/2 its spell level.
Treasure Note: If saved, the heads of these creatures can be used as single-use items which produce the spell effect the dragon could in life, which is usable by anyone.
Skills: A spelldrake gains a racial bonus to Spellcraft checks equal to its spell level, and to Knowledge (arcana) checks equal to half that. Note that these skills cannot be used untrained.
Phew! So, what do you think the CR (and LA, if possible) is on these?
