Martial Archetype: Dragon Caller V1.0
Dragon Bond:
At 3rd level, you have developed a bond with a pseudodragon and have forged a pact to fight by each other's side. You learn the Find Familiar and can cast it as a ritual without components. When you cast the spell this way you gain the service of the pseudodragon, which uses the statistics listed at the end of this document. When your familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears at the end of a long rest or when you use your Second Wind feature.
In combat, your familiar acts differently than other familiars. When you and your familiar roll initiative, your familiar can change its initiative to match your own, acting on your turn. When your familiar would take damage while within 15ft of you, you can choose to take the damage in it's place. If an effect would cause both you and your familiar to take damage, only you take the damage.
Some features make use of your familiar's draconic ancestry, who's damage type is determined by the table below.
Draconic Ancestry
| Dragon | Damage Type |
|---|---|
| Black | Acid |
| Copper | Acid |
| Silver | Cold |
| White | Cold |
| Brass | Fire |
| Gold | Fire |
| Red | Fire |
| Bronze | Lightning |
| Blue | Lightning |
| Green | Poison |
Dragon-kin Tactics
At 3rd level, you can command your familiar to use special abilities to attack in tandem with you. As a Bonus Action, you can command your familiar to use one of the tactics it knows.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Tactics
Your familiar learns two tactics of your choice. Your familiar learns one additional tactic of your choice at 7th, and 13th level. Each time Your familiar learns new tactics, you can also replace one tactic it know with a different one.
Tactics Dice
Some of your Dragon-kin Tactics require a dice to be rolled for damage. The damage dice for these abilities 1d8.
Saving Throws
Your tactics require your target to make a saving throw to resist the tactic's effect. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Tactics save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Tactics List
Tail Sweep
Your familiar attempts to trip a creature within 5ft of it with its tail. The target must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or suffer bludgeoning damage equal to your Tactics Fice and be knocked prone.
Terrifying Screech
Your familiar lets out a terrifying screech in an attempt to startle those around it. Hostile creatures within 5ft of your familiar must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save a creature becomes frightened of your familiar until the end of your next turn. At 10th and 18th level the range of this Tactic increase by 5ft.
Breath Weapon
Your familiar lets out its breath weapon at a point within 10ft of it. Each creature within 5ft of the point must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or suffer damage equal to your Tactics Dice. The type of damage is determined by your familiar's Draconic Ancestry.
Warding Strike
Your familiar lets out its breath weapon at a creature within 10ft of it. The creature must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or be forced to use it's reaction to move 10ft away from your familiar and take damage equal to your Tactics Dice. If it has already used it's reaction it suffers additional damage equal to your Tactics Dice. The type of damage is determined by your familiar's Draconic Ancestry.
Enduring Bond
At 7th level, the bond between your familiar and you has grown, allowing you to draw upon each other's strengths while in close proximity. While you are within 15ft of your familiar, you gain resistance to the damage type associated with their Draconic Ancestry and your familiar gains a bonus to its AC equal to your proficiency bonus.
Improved Tactics
At 10th level, your teamwork with you familiar has improved, strengthening your Tactics. Your Tactics Dice increases to 1d10, and at 18th level it increase to 1d12.
Additionally, when you use your Dragon-Kin Tactics, your familiar can use it's reaction to move up to 30ft before using the Tactic.
