All creatures within 10 feet per age category must make a Will save or laugh for 1 round per age category, as if affected by Hideous Laughter . The save DC is Charisma-based. This is equal to a 6th-level spell.
Slow Aura (Su) An old or older copper Dragon is surrounded by an aura of slowness. All creatures within 5 feet of the Dragon must make a Will save or be affected as per Slow For 1 round. An ancient dragon's aura extends to 10 feet. For great wyrm copper dragons, those opponents that fail their saves are slowed for 1d4 rounds.
