### Fang Dragons

Fang dragons are greedy, rapacious, and cunning creatures. They live for the hunt, and are exceptionally well adapted to it. Savage combatants, even by draconic standards, fang dragons relish the chance to consume the flesh of other creatures, and happily wade into the fray for the chance to enjoy their favorite food.

The most physically terrifying of the dragons, fang dragons are armored with bony plates that rise into projecting spurs at limb joints and end in long, forked tails tipped with a pair of scythe-like bone blades. Their body plates are a mottled gray and brown, and a faint scent of blood surrounds the fang dragon. Their wings are small but muscled, and while they fly poorly, they can rise with a single clap of their wings to lunge forward. A fang dragon's head is adorned with many small horns or spikes, with their eyes tending to be glittering red or orange.

***Angry and twisted.*** Twisted by the magical energies that created them, fang dragons are prone to random violence and outbursts of rage. The revel in the violence, and wade in to combat where they feel they have the advantage with fervor. Over time, they learn to yoke the anger and use it to their advantage. Brutal and vicious, creatures seeking out fang dragons should do so with extreme caution, as they will not hesitate to wreak havoc on any creature that they deem weaker them themselves and are perceived as a threat or an annoyance.

***Consummate hunters.*** Fang dragons eat all manner of fresh meat, especially enjoying the flesh of intelligent mammals. They prefer to seek food far from their lairs, and will use their ability to mimic sounds they have heard to lure in prey. Fang dragons have a disturbing tendency to play with their food in an exceedingly cruel way. Fang dragons are masters of physical combat, and every part of their body is lethal. They do not have a breath weapon, but their bite is so devastating, that it can cause Constitution damage due to blood loss from the deep lacerations.

***Hunted and dwindling.*** Once Tiamat learned of the existence of these dragons outside of her control, she attempted to subjugate the species. Sending her followers out to find them, and "improve" the eggs of their hatchlings with a ritual that would turn them into what would become known as the gray dragons, those same gray dragons were charged with purifying the remaining fang dragons. Hunted, with their numbers dwindling, fang dragons detest Tiamat and all her followers, and will attack them on sight. Fang dragons speak snippets of many languages and will bargain to avoid difficult or deadly battles.

### In The Realms
Fang dragons originally appeared in the Realms in the ruins of Myth Drannor, causing some sages to speculate that they are somehow connected to the demons that have infested the ancient elven city since its fall. They are commonly found in Starwoods regions of Cormanthor, and occasionally in the Border Forest, the Spiderhaunt Woods, and other forests in the region of the Dalelands, Sembia, and the Moonsea.

### A Fang Dragon's Lair
Fang dragons dwell in heavily forested and mountainous areas. A fang dragon's lair is a rough and tumble cave filled with jagged edged rocks and vegetation covered in thorns. They will typically wall up their lairs with huge boulders or other materials to keep out intruders in their absence. Fang dragon's tend to choose caves that have features it can hide behind, or get the drop on unsuspecting intruders from. The lair is littered with the picked cleaned bones of its meals.

#### Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

* Razor sharp stone spikes burst forth from the ground in a 20 foot radius centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. That area becomes  difficult terrain, and each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) piercing damage. When a creatures moves into or within the area, it takes 2d6 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels. The spikes remain until the dragon uses this lair action again or the dragon dies.
* A dense fog forms in a 40 foot radius centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The fog spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. A wind of at least 20 miles per hour disperses the fog. The fog otherwise lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again, or the dragon dies.
* An invisible 10 foot radius of antimagic forms centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. This zone has the same functional effect as if an *antimagic field* had been cast, except it is stationary, and remains until the dragon uses this lair action again or the dragon dies.

#### Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary fang dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: 
 * Within 6 miles of a fang dragon's lair, the terrain takes on sharper features. Jagged, rocky outcroppings surface, plants grow thorns, and it becomes harder to move through the area. Overland movement takes twice as long in the area due to the hazardous conditions.
 * Animals (other than insects) will not reside or willingly approach within 1 mile of a fang dragon's lair. 
 * Within 1 mile of its lair, the dragon leaves no physical evidence of its passage unless it wishes to. Tracking it there is impossible except by magical means. In addition, it ignores movement impediments and damage from rock formations in this area that are neither magical nor creatures, including the stone spikes described above. The stones remove themselves from the dragon's path.
___
If the dragon dies, animals will slowly return to the area, and other effects fade over ld10 days.

## Dragonborn

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids. Some dragonborn are faithful servants to true dragons, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

### Fang Dragonborn Traits
Your draconic heritage manifests in a variety of traits you share with other dragonborn.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Age.*** Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80.

***Alignment.*** Fang dragonborn tend to revere freedom above all. Most fang dragonborn are chaotic neutral. However, there are rare outliers who throw in their lot with Bahamut in the war against Tiamat, adopting lawful or good tendencies.

***Size.*** Fang Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium. Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Bite.*** Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

***Merciless Rive.*** Immediately after you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, or land a critical hit, as part of an attack action on your turn, you can lunge forward and use your bite to deliver a devastating attack. You move up to half of your movement speed, and make one bite attack. This attack is made with advantage, and if successful, deals one extra die of weapon damage.  The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.

Once you have used this trait, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

***Draconic Resistance.*** You share some of your ancestor's ability to shrug off magical attacks. You have advantage on all Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws against magic.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.

\columnbreak

## Half Dragon
When a fang dragon in polymorphed form mates with another creature, the union sometimes produces half-fang dragon offspring. A creature might also transform into a half-fang dragon as a result of a mad wizard's spell or a ritual bath in dragon's blood. In all these cases, the result is a creature that combines the essence of a dragon with the form of its original race. Regardless of their origins, all half-fang dragons have similar features and appearance, gaining special senses, resistance to destructive energy, and a breath weapon.

### Half Fang Dragon Template
***Draconic Nature.*** Half-fang dragons are incapable of having natural born offspring. Those that wish to propagate must find other ways to do so, almost always involving magic. By way of compensation, half-fang dragons are blessed with long life. Barring unforeseen misfortune, a typical half-fang dragon's life expectancy is twice that of its nondraconic line, so that a half-fang dragon human might live more than a century and a half. Half-fang dragons inherit personality traits common to their draconic heritage. These traits are tempered by a half-fang dragon's other lineage, but half-fang dragon's are quicker to anger, and more prone to acts of voilence than a standard member of thier non-draconic lineage.

A beast, humanoid, giant, or monstrosity can become a half-fang dragon. When a creature becomes a half-fang dragon, it retains all its statistics except as noted below.

***Senses.*** The half-fang dragon gains blindsight with a radius of 10 feet and darkvision with a radius of 60 feet.

***New Trait: Rage (1/Day).*** As a bonus action, the half-fang dragon can enter a rage. For one minute, it gains the following benefits:

* The half-fang dragon has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
 * When the half-fang dragon makes a melee weapon attack, it gains a +2 bonus to the damage roll.
 * The half-fang dragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

***New Trait: Ravenous Onslaught.*** When the half-fang dragon reduces a creature to 0 hit points or scores a critical hit with a melee attack on its turn, it can take a bonus action to move up to half its speed and make a bite attack.

***New Action: Bite.***  The half-fang dragon has the bite of its dragon half. The half-fang dragon's size determines how this action functions.

| Size  | Bite |
|:---|:-----------|
|  Large or smaller  | As a wrymling |
|  Huge              | As a young dragon |
|  Gargantuan        | As an adult dragon |

## Primal Paths
At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature. The following option is available to a barbarian, in addition to those offered in the *Player's Handbook* and *Xanthar's Guide to Everything.*

### Path of the Furious Maw
Some creatures are so fierce, that they inspire cultures to emulate them in their own way of life. These tribes teach that skill in the hunt and abject ferocity are in themselves a means to an end. When a barbarian that follows this path rages, they becomes a ruthless terror in combat.

Barbarians who draw on the primal savagery of this path are terrifying to behold in combat. Typically adorned with trophies of previous kills, they wade into they fray and wreak havoc on their opponents. While in the depths of their rages, they are even known to toy with the last of their quarry before delivering the final blow.

##### Path of the Furious Maw Features
| Barbarian Level  | Feature |
|:----------------:|:--------|
|  3rd  | Merciless Onslaught, Cunning Hunter |
|  6th  | Dogged Awareness|
|  10th | No Escape |
|  14th | Vicious Strikes |

#### Merciless Onslaught
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this path, you channel the ferocity of your tribe's ways into your rage. While raging, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or score a critical hit with a melee attack on your turn, as a bonus action, you can move up to half your speed and make one melee attack.

#### Cunning Hunter
At 3rd level, you have honed your skills in the hunt so well, that prey seldom eludes you. You gain proficiency in the Survival skill if you do not have it already. Your proficiency bonus is doubled when making any check to track creatures, and you can move at full speed without penalty.

#### Dogged Awareness
Starting at 6th level, your knowledge of the hunt has attuned your own senses to let you know the hunter has become the hunted. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to spot hidden creatures. In addition, you can no longer be surprised.

#### No Escape
Beginning at 10th level, your zeal for the hunt and combat have grown so intertwined, that you now sometimes seek to prolong them both.

Once per rage, you can attempt to hobble one of your opponents. When you land a melee weapon attack, your target must succeed on a Strength saving throw equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier, or be knocked pone. In addition, its movement speed is halved until it receives magical healing, or finishes a long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Vicious Strikes
At 14th level, the viciousness of your rage has reached its pinnacle. While raging, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. If your attacks already score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 from another source, you instead score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.

\pagebreakNum

## Sorcerous Origins 
At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the Sorcerous Origin feature. The following option is available to a sorcerer, in addition to those offered in the *Player's Handbook,* and *Xanthar's Guide to Everything.*

### Draconic Bloodline (Fang)
Your innate magic comes from draconic magic <br> that was mingled with your blood or that of your <br> ancestors. Most often, sorcerers with this origin <br> trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of <br> ancient times who made a bargain with a <br> dragon or who might even have claimed a <br> dragon parent. Some of these bloodlines <br> are well established in the world, <br> but most are obscure. Any given <br> sorcerer could be the first of a new <br> bloodline, as a result of a pact or <br> some other exceptional <br> circumstance.

#### Draconic Resilience
As magic flows through your body, <br> it causes physical traits of your <br> dragon ancestors to emerge. At <br> 1st level, your hit point maximum <br> increases by 1 and increases by 1 <br> again whenever you gain a level <br> in this class. Additionally, parts of <br> your skin are covered by a thin <br> sheen of dragon-like scales. When <br> you aren’t wearing armor, your AC <br> equals 13 + your Dexterity <br> modifier.

#### Draconic Affinity
Starting at 6th level, when you <br> cast a spell that deals bludgeoning, <br> piercing, or slashing damage, add <br> your Charisma modifier to that <br> damage. At the same time, you can <br> spend 2 sorcery points to gain <br> resistance to magic for 1 minute.

#### Sorcerous Frenzy
The rage of the fang dragon flows in your <br> blood. In times of need, you can call for the anger, <br> and channel it into your magic. On your turn, you <br> can enter a sorcerous frenzy as a bonus action. While frenzying, you gain the following benefits:

* You gain a +2 bonus to your spell save DC.
* Your spell attack critical range increases by 1.
* The spell point cost for metamagic options is reduced by half, to a minimum of 1.
* The spell point cost for creating spell slots is reduced by 1.

\columnbreak

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t damaged a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action. Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

#### Draconic Presence

<div style="text-align:right;">
Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the dread <br> presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those <br> around you to become awestruck or frightened. <br> As an action, you can spend 5 sorcery points <br> to draw on this power and exude an <br> aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a <br> distance of 60 feet. For 1 minute or <br> until you lose your concentration <br> (as if you were casting a <br> concentration spell), each <br> hostile creature that starts <br> its turn in this aura must <br> succeed on a Wisdom saving <br> throw or be charmed (if you <br> chose awe) or frightened <br> (if you chose fear) until the <br> aura ends. A creature that <br> succeeds on this saving <br> throw is immune to your <br> aura for 24 hours.
