managed to survive for so long. The typical human would barely make it through a day in the swamps.

Still, if other creatures prove themselves useful to the lizardfolk, those creatures can trigger a protective response made all the stronger by their apparent weakness. The lizardfolk assess such beings as hatchlings, young ones incapable of protecting themselves but who might prove useful in the future if they receive care.

The more civilized sharptooth lizardfolk are an exception to this rule, as they follow codes of honor and can genuinely understand and feel emotions. These are also the lizardfolk who are most likely to trade with the other races, and go on adventures.

### Lizards and Dragons
Although the lizardfolk are not a draconic race, their fates are often intertwined with that of dragons. Black and green dragons often share the same habitats, and are known to employ lizardfolk as minions after sufficient intimidation. On the other hand, lizardfolk face far less prejudice from the draconic races, such as dragonborn and half dragons. They respect dragonborn the most as they feel that their natural weapons make them the most self-sufficient, even though they find it odd that the scales of most dragonborn are soft.

The Steelscale dragonborn are the exception, as their scales are equally hardened across their body, as opposed to the lizardfolk who have areas on their body that are thicker than others.

Because of this, the dragonborn may benefit from their scales as an extra layer of defense, while the lizardfolk's hide is a mere substitute for real armor. However this is adequate for most lizardfolk, as they are able to do just fine by wearing little in very hostile environments.

Half dragons are greatly respected for their power and draconic lineage, while kobolds are seen as either an annoyance or a meal.

The more civilized lizardolk however will generally extend their respect to kobolds as well, provided they pose no threat to their tribe.

### Lizardfolk Names
Lizardfolk take their names from the Draconic language. They use simple descriptive terms granted by the tribe based on an individual’s notable deeds or actions. Lizardfolk make no distinction between male and female in their naming conventions. Each example name includes its translation in parenthesis.

**Lizardfolk Names:** Achuak (green), Aryte (war), Baeshra (animal), Darastrix (dragon), Garurt (axe), Irhtos (secret), Jhank (hammer), Kepesk (storm), Kethend (gem), Korth (danger), Kosj (small), Kothar (demon), Litrix (armor), Mirik (song), Othokent (smart), Sauriv (eye), Throden (many), Thurkear (night), Usk (iron), Valignat (burn), Vargach (battle), Verthica (mountain), Vutha (black), Vyth (steel)

### Lizardfolk Traits
Lizardfolk have many innate abilities derived from centuries spent warring among each other and defending themselves from the threats present in the jungles and swamps where they make their home.

\columnbreak

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Lizardfolk reach maturity around age 12 and rarely live longer than 60 years. However, some sharptooth tribes are known to live to be around 80.

***Alignment.*** Most lizardfolk are neutral. They see the world as a place of predators and prey, where life and death are natural processes. They wish only to survive, and prefer to leave other creatures to their own devices. The more civilized sharptooth lizardfolk follow a code of honor, and tend to be neutral good.

***Size.*** Lizardfolk vary in size, with poison dusk standing around 4 feet, blackscale around 8 feet, and sharptooth being around 6 to 7 feet on average. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Natural Weapons.*** Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your bite, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. You can also use your claws, which follow the same rules as your bite, but deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier slashing damage instead.

***Natural Armor.*** You have tough, scaly skin. You can calculate your AC as 13 + your Dexterity modifier. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

***Cunning Artisan*** As part of a short rest, you can harvest bone and hide from a slain beast, construct, dragon, monstrosity, or plant creature of size Small or larger to create one of the following items: a shield, a club, a javelin, or 1d4 pieces of ammunition.

***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.

***Subraces.*** Choose one of the subraces below. Your choice will determine additional benefits.

### Subraces

#### Sharptooth
The sharptooth are the most numerous of the lizardfolk, and usually live in and around bodies of water. They either hunt or float about underwater, waiting for an unsuspecting animal to drink or swim by. The more civilized ones tend to roam more, forming tribes that hunt both around bodies of water and on the plains.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Amphibious Stalker.*** You have a swim speed of 30 feet, and you can hold your breath for up to 15 minutes at a time.

***Hungry Jaws.*** In battle, you can throw yourself into a vicious feeding frenzy. As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage, and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), and you can’t use this trait again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 6th level you add your proficiency bonus to both the damage dealt and the temporary hit points gained.

***Hunter's Lore.*** You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature, Perception, Stealth, and Survival.

\pagebreakNum

#### Poison Dusk
The poison dusk are the smallest of the lizardfolk, and are renowned for their chameleon like skin. They value stealth and quick strikes over open battle, and are experts in remaining unseen until they strike. They enjoy the thrill of pursuit, and hunt down their quarry relentlessly. Their determination never waivers, once they commit to something they will see it through. They live in secluded places and guard the secret location of their nests with their lives. They do not discriminate, all trespassers to their lands die the same.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Chameleon Skin.*** You can try to hide even when you are unobscured by pressing yourself up against a solid surface next to you, such as a tree or wall, that is at least as tall and wide as you are. You can also hide by pressing yourself against the ground, provided you are in the prone position. While hiding this way you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, provided you are out of combat and you remain there without moving or taking actions.

***Racial Poison.*** As part of a long rest you can distill poison from your own glands. You gain a number of doses of racial poison equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down). You can use a dose of this poison to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to three pieces of ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by the poisoned weapon or ammunition takes 1d4 poison damage. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying. These doses of racial poison only last 24 hours before losing their potency.

***Predator.*** You gain proficiency in the Survival skill. In addition, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to follow tracks and hunt wild game.

#### Blackscale
The blackscale are the largest and strongest of the lizardfolk subraces, and the most aggressive one. Usually their tribes seek to expand the territory they hold, and kill any creatures that get in their way, making the blackscale lizardfolk a dangerous foe. They often prefer nightly raids, relying upon their innate darkvision. They are also known for their natural resistance against acid, which some scholars speculate is due to black dragon ancestry. Blackscales have no patience for cunning ploys and setting traps, thinking these are the tools of smaller, weaker lizardfolk. They prefer to just hit hard.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Acid Resistance.*** You have resistance to acid damage.

***Aggressive.*** As a bonus action, you can move up to your speed toward an enemy of your choice that you can see or hear. You must end this move closer to the enemy than you started.

***Darkvision.*** You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

## Feats

### Reptilian Regeneration
*Prerequisite: Lizardfolk*
___
You live a dangerous livestyle, and your body had to adapt to survive, allowing you to heal grievous wounds.

- Every hour you regain a number of hit points equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down), as long as you have at least 1 hit point or you are stabilized with 0 hit points. Additionally, you regrow severed body parts (fingers, legs, tail, and so on) within 1d4 days.
- As a bonus action, you can release a surge of regeneration in your body. You regain a number of hit points equal to 2d6 + your level. You can't regain hit points this way again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Poisoner (revised)

___
You have a great understanding of the creation and application of poisons and gain the following benefits:

- You gain proficiency with the poisoner's kit if you don’t already have it, and when you attempt to harvest a dose of poison from a poisonous creature you have advantage on the required ability check. 
- When you make a damage roll, you ignore resistance to poison damage.
- You can apply poison to a weapon or piece(s) of ammunition as a bonus action, instead of an action.
- With one hour of work using a poisoner’s kit and spending 50 gp worth of materials you can create a number of doses of potent poison equal to your proficiency bonus. You can use a dose to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or one piece of ammunition as a bonus action. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon or ammunition. Those hit must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 poison damage and become poisoned until the end of your next turn.

> ##### Variant Poison Harvesting
>
> At your DM's discretion, you can use the following variant rule for harvesting poison from slain foes instead of the one listed in the *Dungeon Master's Guide* (page 258):
>
>**Poison extraction**: When poisonous creatures are killed, the player can attempt to harvest all their poison over the course of 10 minutes, followed by making an Intelligence (Nature) check using the poisoner's kit (proficiency with the poisoner’s kit applies to this check if the player doesn’t have proficiency in Nature) against the poison's save DC, for each type of creature. On a success, the player extracts 1d4 doses of poison from all the dead creatures combined for that type of creature. On a failure, all the poison is wasted, and those who are not proficient with the poisoner's kit suffer the effects of the poison. Players can use one dose of harvested Injury type poison to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or one piece of ammunition, which remains potent for 1 minute. However, unlike *basic poison* (or the poison dusk's racial poison), it loses its potency the first time you hit a creature with it (instead of lasting the full 1 minute duration). Applying the poison takes an action.

## Path of the Dragon
Barbarians are well known for tapping into primal powers, but only a few can tap into one of the most ancient and primeval of them all: The power of dragons.

Most notably, the type of dragon that causes such unyielding rage is that of the chromatic variant. Not all those with chromatic blood in their veins are tended towards such violent and destructive outbursts, but all those that follow this path do indeed share that ancestry: Their chromatic heritage simply manifests itself far stronger than it does for others.

While chromatic dragons are not as renowned for walking among the mortal masses as their metallic cousins are, there have been those that started bloodlines that stretch back millennia. No matter how diluted this bloodline becomes, it can always manifest itself in any of its descendants. And when properly harnessed can become a force of reckoning. Due to their more volatile chromatic blood, those following this path tend toward Chaos, as they contain potent destructive power that paces at the edges of the cage, just waiting to be unleashed. This however is not the norm, as there are those that have learned to control their impulses.

The zekyl, an elven subrace that was created through unions between drow and shadow dragons, are all able to tap into this primal path due to the chaotic influences of the shadowfell. Their normal calm and calculated demeanor hides the violent dragon that lurks beneath wating to strike.

#### Draconic Form
At 3rd level, whenever you enter a rage, if you are not wearing heavy armor, you can choose to give in to your draconic fury and manifest aspects of a draconic being; growing natural weapons as claws erupt from your fingertips, fangs sprout from your maw, and you gain a vicious lashing tail (or an existing one becomes stronger).

If you do, your draconic pride compels you to stow or doff any weapons or shields you are wielding. You can do this as part of the same bonus action you use to enter your rage, and must do so in order to gain the benefits of your draconic fury. You cannot wield any weapons or shield until you stop raging, and you gain the features listed below until your rage ends:

##### Natural Weapons

You gain the following natural weapons, but you can only use one at a time as part of the Attack action:

##### Fury Points

When you enter a rage, if you gave in to your draconic fury, you can gain fury points to enhance your natural weapons. You can gain fury points in the following ways:

- When you score a critical hit, you gain 1 fury point.
- If you deal damage to a creature and it is reduced to 0 hit points before your next turn, you gain 1 fury point.
- At the start of your turn, if you took damage since the beginning of your previous turn, you gain 1 fury point.

You can gain a maximum amount of fury points equal to your proficiency bonus, and you lose any remaining fury points when your rage ends. You can use your fury points to enhance your natural weapons in the following ways:

**Bite:** When you hit a creature with your bite, you can spend 2 fury points once per turn to regain an amount of hit points equal to twice your Constitution modifier (minimum of 2).

**Claws:** When you take the Attack action on your turn and make an attack with your claws, provided both your hands are free, you can make one additional attack using your claws as part of the same action. While you possess at least 2 fury points, attack rolls you make with your claws will score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

**Tail:** Your tail always counts as an equipped weapon, and can be used to make opportunity attacks. Once per turn when you hit a creature with your tail, you can spend 1 fury point to make a contested Strength (Athletics) check against them and knock them prone if you win.

#### Dragon Color

Starting at 3rd level, you choose a Dragon Color. The damage type associated with each Dragon Color is used by features of this path. Additionally, you can now speak, read and write Draconic. Whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

#### Draconic Ascension

At 6th level, your Draconic Form grants you additional draconic aspects. When you enter a rage, if you gave in to your draconic fury, you gain a number of fury points equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down), and you gain the following benefits while raging:

**Wings:** You gain dragon wings which last until your rage ends. Your wings allow you to glide, but aren't strong enough to grant you flight yet. When falling you can use your reaction to slow your descent, as if under the effects of a *feather fall* spell. In addition, for each foot that you fall, you can move one foot horizontally in any direction. While aloft, you count as taking damage for the purpose of maintaining your rage. Your clothes and armor magically change to accommodate these new wings. 
By 14th level, your Draconic Form's wings are now strong enough to give you flight. While not wearing heavy armor, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

**Resistance:** You gain resistance against the damage type of your chosen color on the Dragon Color table while raging. If you already have permanent resistance against this damage type, then all damage you deal ignores resistance against your Dragon Color's damage type instead.

**Vicious weapons:** Your natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

\pagebreakNum

#### Unleashed Fury
Starting at 10th level, the marks of your draconic heritage no longer entirely fade when you are not raging. You gain scales which permanently grants you your Draconic Form's Resistance benefit.

Additionally, if you gave in to your draconic fury when you entered your rage, you can use a bonus action while raging to spend a number of fury points and breathe out a powerful blast of elemental energy. Creatures within a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC of this saving throw is 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage for each fury point you expended on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage type is the same as the damage type of your chosen Dragon Color.

Similar to the racial breath weapons of half dragons and dragonborn, using this feature counts as attacking a hostile creature for the purpose of maintaining your rage.

\columnbreak

#### Draconic Savagery
Starting at 14th level, you rip and 
tear your opponents apart, violently 
and without mercy. Once on each of your 
turns, when one of your melee attacks reduces 
an object or creature's hit points to a number less 
than your Strength score, you can instantly reduce 
it to 0 hit points. Additionally, you suffer none of the 
drawbacks of old age, you can't be aged magically, and 
your lifespan extends by 1000 years.

</div>

> **NOTE:** This feature relies on knowledge regarding a monster's remaining hit points. Your DM may want to avoid sharing this information at the table, so if you are worried about this ability getting overlooked in combat, we suggest checking in with them at the start of the session to make sure they are aware of it.

## College of Playful Mockery

Bards of the College of Playful Mockery are playful tricksters who prefer to taunt and mock their foes into submission rather then directly fight them. They are known for speaking uncomfortable truths, in a way that playfully mocks the target of their jokes, so that people can laugh about it and see the truth behind their taunts. They especially revel in targeting social stigmas set up by those that seek to control the way people speak, and through that the way people think. Their jokes cause people to laugh about these stigmas, which lessens their control over them. This ultimately results in a more open and free discussion on how to improve society.

The College of Playful Mockery was set up by an ancient copper dragon, who at first merely sought to teach others his skill at playing tricks on people. However, over time he began to understand the importance of unrestricted humor in mortal society, and how laughter can be used as a tool for the greater good. Even if their jokes walk the fine line between being mean and being playful, calling out the uncomfortable truths in the world has done far more good than harm. As such they will never allow their voice to be silenced, nor those of others.

<div>

### Truth Sayer

When you join the College of Playful Mockery at 3rd level, your gain proficiency in the Insight skill. If you already have proficiency in this skill, then you can choose a different skill.

All spells that deal psychic damage count as bard spells for you, regardless of class restrictions. If you reduce a creature to 0 hit points through psychic damage, then you can choose to immediately stabilize it by complimenting its performance.

In addition, you know the *vicious mockery* cantrip if you don't already know it. The first time that those affected by this spell deal damage to other creatures, without involving an attack roll, they must roll a die equal to your inspiration die and subtract it from the damage dealt (targets that fail their saving throw against your *vicious mockery* spell count as being affected by this spell until the end of their next turn). 
</div>

### Playful Mockery
Starting at 3rd level, when you land a line, you're on a roll; when you cast *vicious mockery*, and the target fails their saving throw, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to unleash your lyrical genius to...

**Aggrandize Yourself:** Roll the inspiration die and gain temporary hit points equal to its result + the damage dealt by your *vicious mockery* spell.

**Double Down:** Roll the inspiration die and the target takes additional psychic damage equal to amount rolled, and also has disadvantage on its next saving throw against your *vicious mockery* spell within the next minute.

**Make it Personal:** If the target attempts to attack anyone other than you, then it must subtract an amount equal to your proficiency bonus from all its attack rolls. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn.

___
You can only benefit from one of these effects when expending a use of your Bardic Inspiration.

\columnbreak

### Sick Burns
At 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals psychic damage, you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to one damage roll of that spell, and it ignores psychic resistance.

Additionally, whenever a creature misses an attack that suffered disadvantage caused by your *vicious mockery* spell, you deal a verbally devastating follow up dealing psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), provided it can hear you.

### The Voice of the People

Also at 6th level, your ability to communicate transcends barriers of language. You can communicate basic concepts with creatures that don't share a language with you as long as that creature speaks at least one language through intonation, body language, gestures, attitude, and swaggering about.

Using this method you can get information such as how much something should cost, where notable locations are, who the toughest person or thing around is, and which paths or alleyways should be avoided, as well other things your DM might find appropriate for you to be able to learn from them.

### Spitting Fire

Starting at 14th level, you can deliver verbal components to spells with blinding speed and precision. You can expend a use of Bardic Inspiration to cast a spell with the cast time of one action as a bonus action as long as it has only verbal components.

Whenever you would deal psychic damage to creatures who are immune against it, you deal force damage instead.

When you cast a spell that (normally) deals psychic damage, you can increase the spell's damage dice by 1 step. For example, d4 to d6, d6 to d8 etc. (maximum of d12).

You also know the *message* cantrip if you don't already know it, you can cast it as a bonus action, and you only require verbal components to cast this spell.

## Dragon Domain

Gods of dragons - including Bahamut, Tiamat, Faluzure, Io, and various lesser deities - are few compared to other gods but inspire fear and awe from many. Their followers are mighty dragons or more humanoid servants such as dragonborn, kobolds, half dragons, or others that revere the legendary dragon gods. In particular, Bahamut and Tiamat both have a strong following of non-draconic worshippers. Devotees of the Platinum Dragon, king of metallic dragons, spread their god's ideals of justice, compassion, and goodness. Meanwhile, worshippers of the evil Dragon Queen, mother of chromatic dragons, revel in her greed and need to elevate dragons above all others. Clerics of the dragon gods glorify the power of dragons, while seeking to assist and protect those dragons who are aligned with their dragon god.

### Domain Spells

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Dragon Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

##### Dragon Domain Spells
| Cleric Level | Spells | 
|:---:|:---:|
| 1st | *absorb elements, heroism* | 
| 3rd | *dragon's breath, see invisibility* |
| 5th | *fireball, fly* |
| 7th | *elemental bane, stoneskin* |
| 9th | *cone of cold, dominate person* |

### Bonus Proficiencies
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor.

### Draconic Blessing
From 1st level, your god bestows you with the blessing of one of its draconic children. You must choose a dragon from the Draconic Blessing table. The damage type and breath weapon associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later.

##### Draconic Blessing
| Dragon | Damage Type | Breath Weapon |
|:---:|:---:|:---|
| Black | Acid | 10 by 60 ft. line (Dex. Save) |
| Blue | Lightning | 10 by 60 ft. line (Dex. Save) |
| Brass | Fire  | 10 by 60 ft. line (Dex. Save) |
| Bronze | Lightning | 10 by 60 ft. line (Dex. Save) |
| Copper | Acid | 10 by 60 ft. line (Dex. Save) |
| Gold | Fire | 30 ft. cone (Dex. Save) |
| Green | Poison | 30 ft. cone (Con. Save) |
| Red | Fire | 30 ft. cone (Dex. Save) |
| Silver | Cold | 30 ft. cone (Con. Save) |
| White | Cold | 30 ft. cone (Con. Save) |

\columnbreak

If you choose Bahamut as your deity, then you must choose a metallic (brass, bronze, copper, gold, or silver) dragon for your Draconic Blessing. If you choose Tiamat as your deity, then you must choose a chromatic (black, blue, green, red, or white) dragon for your Draconic Blessing.

When you deal damage of the type associated with your Draconic Blessing to other creatures, you can choose a number of them equal to your proficiency bonus. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against it (if any), and suffer no damage from it.

Additionally, when you deal damage with a domain spell, you can change the damage type to the one associated with your chosen Draconic Blessing.

You can read, write, and speak Draconic. Whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

>**NOTE**: When playing as a half gold dragon, and your Reserved Companion trait causes fire damage you deal to become radiant damage against fiends and undead creatures instead, then this radiant damage retains all the benefits that would come with dealing fire damage.

\pagebreakNum

### Channel Divinity: Dragon's Wrath
Starting at 2nd level, as an action, you can use your 
Channel Divinity to unleash a devastating exhalation 
of energy; your breath weapon. Your Draconic 
Blessing determines the size, shape, and damage type 
of your breath weapon.

When you use this breath weapon, each creature in 
the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, 
the type of which is determined by your Draconic 
Blessing. A creature takes 3d8 + your cleric level 
damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on 
a successful one.

### Legendary Protection
At 6th level, your deity rewards you with the fabled 
protection of their draconic children, granting you 
the following benefits: 
- You gain resistance to the damage type of your Draconic Blessing. If you already have resistance to that type from another source, then you can instead reduce damage of that type by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) after halving the damage.
- While wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC. You also gain this bonus while wearing scale mail made out of dragon scales.

### Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Blessing to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

### Shock and Awe
At 17th level, you can unleash a true dragon's roar that terrifies your enemies and inspires your allies. As an action, choose any creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see and hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, then the creature becomes immune to your Shock and Awe for the next 24 hours.

Additionally, all friendly creatures within 30 feet of you can make their next attack roll with advantage (within the next minute) or immediately make a saving throw against one effect on themselves, provided they can hear you.

___
When you use your Dragon's Wrath Channel Divinity feature, you can use your bonus action to exude a terrifying presence, which causes all the above effects. The difference is that foes and allies (only) need to see you. A creature that becomes immune against your true dragon's roar or terrifying presence becomes immune against both effects.

## Scalykind Domain

Commonly known as Lizard Priests, these clerics are exclusively lizardfolk, but unlike most lizardfolk venerate their ancestors and follow a code of honor. Lizardfolk are generally regarded as a pragmatic people, the exception to this however are the more civilized variants of the Sharptooth lizardfolk. These Sharptooth lizardfolk adorn themselves with feathers as a sign of respect to the dragons, as they call their ancestors. And in some cases their ancestors answer back to grant a select few their divine power.

Lizard Priests do not worship a god in the traditional sense, like other clerics do, but instead worship the collective of all the ancestors who came before them. Some more primal and powerful than others. They answer their prayers, and function like any other god would. Granting them their strength, and sometimes even the form of one of their mighty "dragon" ancestors. Their holy symbol references their ancestors, and it's appearance is varied and depends on the lizardfolk's tribe. Their ancestors forbid them from summoning undead creatures, except when summoning one of their forebears.

They refer in their traditional tongue to their ancestors as dragons, but after adventuring they often find that the term ancestors is more appropriate, as the other races tend to make strong distinguishes between true dragons and what they call "dinosaurs".

#### Restriction: Lizardfolk only
Only the wisest lizardfolk will receive the calling of their reptilian ancestors, and tribes guard the secret of this art with their lives. Your DM can lift this restriction at their discretion.

### Domain Spells

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Scalykind Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

##### Scalykind Domain Spells

|:---:|:---:|
| 1st | *cure wounds, divine favor* |

| 5th | *fear, haste*  |
| 7th | *dominate beast, freedom of movement* |
| 9th | *commune with nature, hold monster* |

</div>

### Swordclaw

At 1st level, you harvest the teeth of predatory beasts during your adventures, especially of your distant scaled kin, and you carry a number of such teeth for use in ritual magic.

As a bonus action, you can imbue one or two of these "dragon teeth" with your magic, and cause them to transform into razor-sharp swordclaw sickles. These sickles are magical weapons and deal 1d8 slashing damage instead of the standard damage for a sickle. After ten minutes, they turn back into dragon teeth. You can use this feature to transform a number of teeth equal to your Wisdom modifier, and regain all expended uses upon finishing a short or long rest.

Creatures that make an attack roll with this sickle can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll.

Swordclaw sickles that you wield yourself gain the magical attributes of one magic melee weapon that you are attuned to. You decide which weapon after finishing a short or long rest. A swordclaw sickle counts as spellcasting focus for you.

You can only have up to two swordclaw sickles created at the same time. When you create an additional one, you must choose which existing swordclaw sickle disappears.

### Primeval Fury
At 1st level, you know the *magic fang* cantrip (page 64), and when you cast it on yourself it doesn't require concentration.

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can treat your main and off-hand claws as light melee weapons you are holding. These natural weapons deal 1d4 slashing damage.

Starting at 5th level, when you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack (if you do not already do so).

Starting at 11th level, when you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can make one additional attack.

### Channel Divinity: Dragontooth Warrior
Starting at 2nd level, as an action you can use your Channel Divinity to create a physical body for your forebears. Doing so
allows you to summon a Dragontooth Warrior, a sacred skeleton lizardfolk. The Dragontooth Warrior is friendly to
you and your companions and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Dragontooth Warrior stat
block. The Dragontooth Warrior shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it
takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions
in its stat block or to take the Dash, Disengage, Help or Hide action. You don't require any actions to move your Warrior on its own turn. The Dragontooth Warrior remains for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, or until you summon a new Dragontooth Warrior. If it is reduced to 0 hit points, you cannot summon a new Warrior until 1 minute has passed.

You can equip your Warrior with a swordclaw sickle, but only one. You can imbue one of your dragon teeth when summoning your Warrior to immediately equip it with one. It can use it to defend you or your allies.

### Dragon Tooth Mastery

At 6th level, you have achieved mastery in creating dragon teeth as well as communing with your ancestor spirits to grant them the vigor they had in life. When you create a Dragontooth Warrior, it gains the following benefits:

- When you use your bonus action to make a melee weapon attack, you can command your Dragontooth Warrior to make a single attack with one of its weapons instead of taking the Dodge action. 
- The Warrior's listed bonuses to its saving throws, attack rolls, and damage rolls each increase by 1. At 9th, 13th, and 17th levels in this class, these bonuses increase by an additional 1.

___
In addition, while wielding a swordclaw sickle in both your main and off-hand, attack rolls you make with your sword-claw sickles will score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

### Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

\columnbreak

### Lizard King

Starting at 17th level, you finally achieve the long awaited transformation you were promised, taking the form of one of your mighty ancestors. The "dragon" form is a little different from what you imagined, but no less deadly.

As a bonus action, you can transform into a dinosaur with the statistics of a tyrannosaurus rex (Monster Manual page 80). Your game statistics, except your mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the tyrannosaurus. You retain your alignment and personality. You assume the hit points of your new form. You can revert to your normal form at any point as a bonus action, and you automatically revert to your normal form if your hit points are reduced to 0.

When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. If you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious. While in your dinosaur form, you can't wield weapons, nor can you use your class features, but you can issue commands. You can't cast spells while in this form, but you can maintain concen- tration on existing spells. You can only speak Draconic while transformed, as this form's anatomy prevents you from speaking any other language. After losing this form, you can transform this way again after finishing a long rest.

Your primeval magic also causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.

## Circle of the Dragon
Druids of the Circle of the Dragon devote themselves to the natural balance of all dragons, good and evil, as dragons are an integral part of the world. Some are fanatics obsessed with obtaining draconic power, while others worship beings such as Bahamut or Tiamat in a quest to gain a divine ascension. Wherever they go, these druids bear with them a flaming passion and extraordinary pride.

#### Emissary of the Dragons

At 2nd level you have learned to speak, read and write Draconic. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check. While you can see a dragon, or you are in your Wild Shape, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

#### Circle Forms

The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into the most feared creatures in all the realms. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as 1, ignoring the max CR column of the Beast Shapes table. This includes dragons you have not seen before. Additionally, you can transform into a dragon that has movement speeds from the Limitations column of the Beast Shapes table, but you cannot use those movement speeds until you’ve reached the appropriate druid levels shown on the table. You lose your burrow speed (if any).

Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down.

#### Frightful Transformation

Starting at 6th level, when you use your Wild Shape, each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your druid spell save DC or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, then it becomes immune to your Frightful Transformation for the next 24 hours.

In addition, while in your Wild Shape, you can replace the DC of your breath weapon with your druid spell save DC, provided the breath weapon deals damage.

#### Wild Draconic Form

At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to change into a druidic dragon. When you do so, choose an elemental type from the Elemental Essence table.

While you remain motionless as a druidic dragon, you do not age, and any temporary effects on you (such as your Wild Shape) do not further expire. While motionless, you must use this feature again after finishing a rest to remain in this form. You do not require food or water while in this form.

>
> ***Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6).*** The druidic dragon exhales destructive energy. Each creature in the area of exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your chosen elemental essence, against your druid spell save DC. A creature takes 35 (10d6) damage of your chosen type on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
> 
> ### Reactions
> ***Frightful Reveal.*** When a creature that is unaware of the druidic dragon's presence is within 30 feet of it, the druidic dragon can use its reaction to frightfully reveal itself in its true nature. Each creature of its choice within 30 feet of it must make a Wisdom saving throw against your druid spell save DC or become frightened for 1 minute.

\pagebreakNum

#### Druidic Dragon Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of druidic dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn. Your clothes and armor are magically changed to accommodate them.

In addition, those who fail their saving throws against your Frightful Transformation feature or your druidic dragon's Frightful Reveal ability also become paralyzed until the end of your next turn, as they are gripped by fear.

>**Variant Half Green Dragon:** Some half green dragons are more in touch with the natural world, and can exchange their +1 Intelligence and +1 Charisma ability score increases with a +2 Wisdom score increase instead. Their Gifted Trickster trait uses Wisdom as the spellcasting ability for the trait's *disguise self* spell.

## Circle of Savagery

While the more civilized sharptooth lizardfolk are famous for venerating their ancestors, most lizardfolk tribes are more pragmatic and don't see the practical advantage of such a tradition. However, these tribes do possess many powerful druidic spellcasters, many of whom are part of a secretive druidic circle; the Circle of Savagery. These lizardfolk druids carry within their blood, whether by heritage or ceremony, the memories of the ancient "terrible lizards", the dinosaurs. Through this they are able to summon the spirits of these terrifying creatures, or transform into one outright.

These summoned allies of nature look just like their ancient selves, and can also bleed and suffer pain. However, once it dies, or the druid loses its concentration, it vanishes.

Unlike the more civilized sharptooth tribes, they don't gain their divine powers through the veneration of their "dragon" ancestors, nor are they able to take their form. Instead they use their druidic powers to draw upon the memories of their ancestors to summon and transform into prehistoric beasts.

#### Restriction: Lizardfolk Only
Only lizardfolk can choose this druid circle, though your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign. The pragmatic lizardfolk druids are able to summon and turn into the powerful beasts whom their ancestors lived among. Lizardfolk druids that choose this druid circle gain the following benefits:

### Ancient Wild Forms

At 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to take the form of any reptilian beast or dinosaur with a CR as high as 1. You ignore the max CR column of the Beast Shapes table, but must abide by all other limitations.

Dinosaur forms can be found on page 79 of the *Monster Manual* and on page 139 of *Volo's Guide to Monsters*. You do not need to have seen the dinosaurs before in order to Wild Shape into them, as their memory flows in your veins.

However, the ability to Wild Shape into these powerful forms is not without cost. Your ability to Wild Shape is now restricted to dinosaurs and their descendants; birds and reptiles. Examples of avian and reptilian beasts from the *Monster Manual* include crocodiles, snakes and vultures.

Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a dinosaur with a challenge rating as high as your Druid level divided by 3, rounded down.

### Summon Nature's Ally

At 2nd level, as an action, you can use a spell slot to conjure a dinosaur with a CR equal to the level of the spell slot used minus 1 (minimum of 1/2) or lower. It appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you. The dinosaur shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block or to take the Dash, Disengage, Help or Hide action. You don't require any actions to move your Nature's Ally on its own turn. If one of its special traits would require a bonus action, it can use its own.

You must maintain concentration on this, as if you were concentrating on a spell, or the creature disappears. You can use this feature while in your wild shape form if you have shifted into a dinosaur. Your summoned Nature's Ally remains until you lose concentration, until its hit points are reduced to 0, or until you finish a short or long rest. After you summon your Nature's Ally, you cannot summon it again until you finish a short or long rest. It is friendly to you and your allies.

### Primal Strikes

At 6th level, your natural weapons and those of your Nature's Ally count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

### Dreadful Wild Shape

Beginning at 10th level, you can expend two uses of your Wild Shape at once to transform into a dinosaur with a CR equal to your Druid level divided by 2, rounded down.

You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on your Nature's Ally.

### Adaptation

Starting at 14th level, your body is permanently enhanced by the ancient creatures whose power you draw upon. Both you and your Nature's Ally gain the following benefits:

- You gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
- You gain a climbing and swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and you can hold your breath for 1 hour.
- You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
- Your speed increases by an additional 10 feet.

\pagebreakNum

## Additional Dinosaurs

These dinosaurs are in addition to the ones found on page 79 of the *Monster Manual* and on page 139 of *Volo's Guide to Monsters*, and most can also be chosen by Circle of Savagery druids, provided they have the required level.

Those that fail this saving throw are also blinded until the end of their next turn.

#### Dire Spinosaurus
These gargantuan beasts are bred by the more civilized lizardfolk tribes as beasts of war. These tribes will use triceratops as shock cavalry, but it is the dire spinosaurus that ultimately breaks their foes, and tears down their cities. These war beasts are heavily sought after by other lizardfolk tribes, and reared ones are sold for a hefty price. An adult dire spinosaurus is 70 feet long and weighs 35,000 pounds or more. These land and riverine predators are capable of carrying a platoon of lizardfolk long distances on raids. Often called a river king or river dragon, they are worshiped by bullywugs and other primitive humanoids. Riding a dire spinosaurus requires an exotic saddle, riding platform, or howdah. These must be specially modified for its spines. It usually walks on all fours, but can walk more upright to attack with its lethal claws. Their eggs are worth as much as 2,000 gp a piece; live young are worth twice that. Rearing one requires patience, and a skilled lizardfolk handler.

## Purple Dragon Knight
Purple Dragon Knights are warriors of the Order of the Purple Dragons. Pledged to protect the crown, they take the fight against evil beyond the kingdom's borders. They are tasked with wandering the land as knights errant, relying on their judgment, bravery, and fidelity to guide them in defeating evildoers. Their name comes from Thauglor, an ancient black dragon whose scales faded from ebony to violet as it matured.

A Purple Dragon Knight inspires greatness in others by committing brave deeds in battle. The mere presence of a knight in a hamlet is enough to cause some orcs and bandits to seek easier prey. A lone knight is a skilled warrior, but a knight leading a band of allies can transform even the most poorly equipped militia into a ferocious warband.

A knight prefers to lead through deeds, not words. As a knight spearheads an attack, the knight's actions can awaken reserves of courage and conviction in allies that they never suspected they had.

#### Restriction: Knighthood
Purple Dragon Knights are tied to a specific order of Cormyrean knighthood. This restriction exists for the Forgotten Realms. It might not apply to your DM's setting or their version of the Realms. Your DM can lift this restriction, and rename this subclass to **Banneret**.

#### Battlefield Commander
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to command your allies on the battlefield, allowing them to move in coordination with your words. You can use a bonus action to give an order to another creature within 60 feet of you that can hear you, though it must use its reaction to gain the order's benefit.
- **Push the Advantage:** The creature makes one weapon attack. It ignores disadvantage on this attack roll.
- **Tactical Retreat:** The creature moves up to its speed. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
- **Utmost Caution:** The creature gains the benefit of the Dodge action until the start of your next turn.

You can use this feature three times. You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.

#### Royal Envoy
A Purple Dragon Knight serves as an envoy of the Cormyrean crown. Knights of high standing are expected to conduct themselves with grace.

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.

#### Rallying Cry
When you reach 7th level, you learn how to inspire your allies to fight on past their injuries.

As a bonus action, you can cause up to three creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you to regain hit points equal to 1d6 + your fighter level, provided that the creatures can see or hear you. You can also choose yourself with this feature.

\columnbreak

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

#### Rousing Commands
By the time  you reach 10th level, the directives you give your allies stir them to greater action. When you use your Battlefield Commander feature, the creature you command gains an additional benefit, depending on which course of action you order it to take.

- **Push the Advantage:** It gains advantage on the attack roll, and it adds your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to the damage roll.
- **Tactical Retreat:** It ignores any reduction to its speed, and it is immune to the frightened, grappled, and restrained conditions until the start of your next turn.
- **Utmost Caution:** It has advantage on all saving throws, instead of just Dexterity.

You can now use the Battlefield Commander feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.

#### Challenging Oath
Beginning at 15th level, you can issue a challenge against a creature within 60 feet of you as a bonus action, as you swear an oath to take this foe down, provided that it can see or hear you. For 1 minute or until you lose consciousness, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and your attack rolls against the target have advantage and will score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

#### Unfalling Legion
Starting at 18th level, your presence is so inspiring that it can bring people back from the brink of death. When you or a creature within 60 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can use your reaction to cause  them to drop to 1 hit point instead, provided they can see or hear you.

Once a creature has benefitted from this feature, they cannot do so again until they finish a long rest.

## Supply Specialist
The Supply Specialist is a fighter that focuses less on their own martial prowess, and more on how they can enable the other members of their adventuring party to rise to their fullest potential. Through the use of potions and magical scrolls, they ensure that their allies are always prepared to face whatever challenge they come across. This subclass is popular among kobolds due to their affinity for teamwork, as well as their desire to aid their "dragon" allies to the best of their abilities.

### Potion Master
When you select this Martial Archetype at 3rd level, you create a number of lesser potions equal to your proficiency bonus at the end of every long rest. You can select any of the potions from the Lesser Potions list, as long as you meet the level prerequisite. Additional types of lesser potions become available at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. The lesser potions described in this class are temporary potions, and function differently from regular potions. Creatures can only be under the effect of one lesser potion at a time. Consuming a new lesser potion immediately ends any current lesser potion effects with a duration longer than instantaneous. These lesser potions lose their potency and expire after 24 hours.

Lesser potions can be distributed to the party at any point during the adventuring day, and can be consumed as an action. You can use your action to drink a potion yourself, or administer it to a friendly creature within 5 feet of you.

If the lesser potion has a choice of effects, then you must choose which effect upon creation. However, you can quickly change that choice as an object interaction on your turn by adding minor ingredients, before it is consumed.

You gain proficiency with the Herbalism Kit, which allows you to create potions of healing with the rules in *Xanathar's guide to everything* (page 130). In addition, you count as one size category larger when determining your carrying capacity.

### Infuse Scrolls
In order to help your allies you have vigorously studied the basics of magic as well as the art of writing scrolls. At 3rd level you can create temporary scrolls to aid your allies.

Unlike most magic users you are not able to cast regular spells, but instead you can infuse your known spells into temporary scrolls, which can be used to cast the spells with. The scroll's spell level is determined by your Fighter level. At 3rd level you learn three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, and as you gain levels in this subclass you learn additional wizard spells of your choice. These spells must be of a spell level equal to or lower than the Spell level of your scroll, as shown on the Scroll table. Each time you level up you can exchange one known spell for a different one.

You use your Intelligence whenever a spell on one of your scrolls refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC of your scrolls and when making a spell attack roll with one:

**Spell save DC =** 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

___
**Spell attack modifier =** your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

</center>

Those who use your scrolls can use these values or their own, whichever is higher.

You gain scroll slots as you level up in this class, allowing you to create a temporary scroll for each slot. When you finish a long rest, you can spend 10 minutes with parchment, quill, and ink to create temporary spell scrolls for all your available scroll slots, each containing one spell you have learned. If the spell has a lower spell level than the scroll, then it will be cast as a higher level spell. Additionally, if the scroll's spell has a material component cost, then you must use those materials when creating the scroll. Each temporary scroll only contains the spell until you have finished a long rest.

##### Spells known, scroll slots and spell level (based on Fighter level)
| Fighter level | Spells known | Scroll slots | Spell level | 
|:----:|:----:|:----:|:----:|
| 3rd | 3 | 1 | 1st | 
| 4th | 4 | 1 | 1st | 
| 5th | 4 | 2 | 1st | 
| 6th | 4 | 2 | 1st | 
| 7th | 5 | 2 | 2nd | 
| 8th | 6 | 2 | 2nd | 
| 9th | 6 | 2 | 2nd | 
| 10th | 7 | 3 | 2nd | 
| 11th | 8 | 3 | 2nd | 
| 12th | 8 | 3 | 2nd | 
| 13th | 9 | 3 | 3rd | 
| 14th | 10 | 3 | 3rd | 
| 15th | 10 | 4 | 3rd | 
| 16th | 11 | 4 | 3rd | 
| 17th | 11 | 4 | 3rd | 
| 18th | 11 | 4 | 3rd | 
| 19th | 12 | 4 | 4th | 
| 20th | 13 | 4 | 4th |

You can give these scrolls to allies, who can use them like they would use normal scrolls, provided they can cast 1st level or higher spells. Remarkably, due to your innate talent at writing scrolls, the usage of these special spell scrolls is not restricted by class spell lists, nor available spell levels. You can give a scroll to a friendly creature within 5 feet of you as an action.

You can also attempt to use these scrolls yourself, but when you do you must make an Intelligence check to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect. If there is an ally within 10 feet of you who can cast 1st level or higher spells, then it can choose to use its reaction to grant you advantage on this roll.

You can also use normal scrolls, without being restricted by class spell lists or available spell levels. However, you follow the same rules as if you were attempting to use one of your own temporary scrolls.

### Combat Assistant
Beginning at 7th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to take one of the following special actions:

- ***Aid.*** You can administer a single potion to yourself or a friendly creature within 5 feet of you, granting the friendly creature its effect.
- ***Arm and Restock.*** You can give a friendly creature within 15 feet of you any amount of ranged ammunition and a weapon you are carrying. They can equip the new weapon and stow any weapon or item they are currently carrying without spending any actions.
- ***Handyman.*** You can use the Use an Object action.
- ***Here.*** You can give an item, such as a potion or a scroll, to a friendly creature within 15 feet of you.

Additionally, when creating potions of healing with the rules in *Xanathar's guide to everything* (page 130), you can reduce the time spend and gold required by one step. For example, you can create a *potion of greater healing* within 1 day at the cost of 25 gp. You can create potions while adventuring, provided you have the herbalism kit on hand. As part of a long rest, you can work on a single potion, which counts as if you had spend 1 day working on it.

### Improved Potions
At 10th level, you've greatly improved the process of supplying an adventuring party. You now prepare the improved version of each of your lesser potions at the end of every long rest.

Your improvements to your potions have made them much smaller, without losing any of their potency. Potions you have made yourself (lesser and regular) can now be consumed as a bonus action by friendly creatures.

### Resourceful
Beginning at 15th level, you're always ready to support those who travel with you. If you begin combat with no lesser potions prepared, you can scrounge around in your supplies, and prepare one lesser potion of your choice.

Additionally, once per day after finishing a short rest, you can regain one spell scroll that you prepared this long rest.

\columnbreak

### Quartermaster
At 18th level, your close work with your supplies has toughened your body and soul to a point only few have reached. Starting at 18th level your Constitution score is increased by 2, and your maximum Constitution score is 22.

Additionally, you are always under the effect of one lesser potion of your choice. The lesser potion must have a duration longer than instantaneous. You can change this effect at the end of a short or long rest. If the effect has a choice of effects, then you can also change this choice at the end of a short or long rest.

#### Lesser Potions
Detailed below are the lesser potions available to the Supply Specialist fighter, they are presented in alphabetical order.

***Lesser Adrenaline Potion.***
 *Prerequisite 15th level (duration, instantaneous*)
 This potion shocks the adventurer's system back to life, provided they died within the last minute. They regain hit points equal to your fighter level and can immediately take one action. When a creature consumes this potion they immediately gain one level of exhaustion.

***Lesser Berserker Potion.***
 *Prerequisite 15th level (duration, 1 hour*)
 When consumed, this potion allows the adventurer to push beyond the limits of normal mortals. While under the effects of this potion you do not fall unconscious when you drop to 0 hit points. However, you still continue to make death saving throws, but at disadvantage.

***Lesser Warding Potion.***
 *Prerequisite 7th level (duration, 1 minute)*
 When consumed, this potion wards the adventurer's body. They gain resistance to your choice of acid, cold, fire, poison, lightning, thunder, force, necrotic, psychic, or radiant damage for the duration (your choice).

## Way of the Dragon Turtle

Monks who favors tenacious stances and heavy strikes more than nimble evasion and rapid blows are often trained in the Way of the Dragon Turtle. Ominous strength and appropriate balance coalesce to both apply and contain enormous force. Recognized for their impressive physiques and unmatched endurance; these martial artists are well known for being kind hearted and eager to help others. These monks believe that every jar of water delivered, and every tree trunk carried, is time spent training.

##### Variant: Stability over Agility
Some monks favor strength over agility. To reflect this, you can choose to use this variant with your DM's permission. Using this variant, all mentions of your character's Dexterity score or modifier in the Unarmored Defense and Deflect Missiles class features are replaced with Strength.

### Turtle Stance
At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill.

When you learn this tradition at 3rd level, you learn to defend yourself as a turtle would, facing blows directly with a hardened body of iron. When an attacker hits you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage of the attack by 1d6 + your Strength modifier + half your monk level (rounded down).

In addition, creatures other than you gain advantage on attack rolls against creatures you are grappling. If a creature you are grappling is restrained, then it can only use its actions to escape.

### Pennant of Dragon Strength
At 3rd level you can choose any blunt object larger than 1 cubic foot and smaller than yourself to imbue with ki, which can be done over the course of a short rest. After imbuing it so, the object acquires artistic marks showing prayers to the dragon turtle and chants of might and bravery in your mother tongue. It is now your Pennant of Dragon Strength and counts as a monk weapon for you for which you have proficiency. Your pennant gains the weapon traits from the Pennant of Dragon Strength table. Attack and damage rolls using your pennant must be done with your Strength Modifier. You can enchant your pennant as if it was a non-magical weapon, but if the object already has magical properties then it retains these instead. Your pennant size is at minimum small, it is weightless for you but its weight is modified for any other creature that tries to lift it (see the table). You can choose to end your link to your pennant at any time, making it lose its imbued ki in a soft golden flash.

While holding your pennant, you can't be disarmed of it, and you gain advantage on checks and saving throws against being pushed or knocked prone.

##### Pennant of Dragon Strength

| Level  | Damage | Weight Modifier | Properties |
|:-----------:|:------:|:------:|:----------------:|
|  3          |  1d6 (bludgeoning)  | 2x     | Versatile (1d8)        
|  5          |  1d8 (bludgeoning)  | 2x     | Versatile (1d10)   
|  11         |  1d10 (bludgeoning) | 3x     | Versatile (1d12)  
|  17         |  1d12 (bludgeoning) | 4x     | Versatile (2d6)

### Snap Dragon
At 6th level, you can react with clasping strength on your foes. When a creature misses you with a melee attack or provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to make a grapple check against them.

Immediately after you have successfully grappled a creature, or as a bonus action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to throw a creature you are grappling. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your ki save DC. On a failure, the creature is thrown up to 10 feet in a direction of your choice, takes damage equal to your Martial Arts die, has its speed reduced to 0 until the beginning of its next turn, and is knocked prone. Any additional damage the creature takes from colliding with an environmental hazard (for example a pit, a trap, or a weapon's rack) is doubled. On a successful save, the creature resists your attempt, but remains grappled by you.

### Ki of the Tidebringer
At 11th level, your training allows you to infuse your ki with the power of the dragon turtle. You no longer have to spend a reaction when you use your Snap Dragon feature to make grapple checks. After using the Snap Dragon feature to make a grapple check this way, you can't use it again this way until the beginning of your next turn.

In addition, at the start of your turn, you can choose to activate one of the following effects until the start of your next turn:
- You gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and your AC increases by 2.
- You gain advantage on your melee attack rolls.
- Your ki save DC increases by 2, and creatures you knock prone have their speed reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Defiance of The Dragon Turtle
At 17th level, you have perfected your connection with the essence of the dragon turtle, allowing its being to become truly one with yours in mind and body. As an action, you can manifest the dragon turtle, creating a gargantuan translucent form of a dragon turtle around you. If you do, then for 1 minute you gain the game statistics of the dragon turtle (*Monster Manual* page 119) as if under the effect of a *true polymorph* spell. You retain your mental ability scores, but you can't use your class features except for your Unarmored Movement feature. Your attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance and immunity against nonmagical attacks.  If there isn't enough room for this form in a space available, then this form instead attains the maximum possible size.

Once you transform in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

## Oath of Draconic Majesty

Dragons are some of the most powerful creatures in the multiverse, and there are those who seek to emulate their majesty in all that they do. Whether they wish to use and exercise a dragon’s power, help it extend its influence and change the world, or simply fell in love with the mighty creature and its ideals, they all agree that dragonkind has its role to play in the great battles of this world. Those who follow this ideal have made an oath with an ancient or older dragon, which has become their sovereign. Followers of this oath may also choose Bahamut (god of metallic dragons) or Tiamat (god of chromatic dragons) as their Sovereign.

### Draconic Tenets

Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Draconic Majesty vary, paladins of this oath share the following tenets, with some based on your dragon sovereign.

**Majesty.** I shall not bring shame to my sovereign, and I will behave in a way befitting of my status. I will be proud.

**Treasure.** I will gather wealth and unique items, both for my endeavors and for my sovereign. Regardless if they call me greedy. One never has enough riches.

**Power.** (Chromatic sovereign only) What good is power if it is not used? I shall use my power to advance the goals of my sovereign and myself, and remove those who oppose me.

**Goodwill.** (Metallic sovereign only) I shall not confuse arrogance and pride, nor shall I think myself above helping the weak and the weary.

### Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of Draconic Majesty Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

##### Oath of Draconic Majesty Spells
| Paladin level | Spells | 
|:----:|:----|:----|
| 3rd | *absorb elements, heroism* |
| 5th  | *dragon's breath, hold person* |
| 9th | *fear, protection from energy* |
| 13th | *elemental bane, stoneskin* |
| 17th | *dominate person, legend lore* |

### Draconic Oath
At 3rd level, as you seek to emulate the majesty of dragons, you have learned to speak, read and write Draconic. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

When you choose this sacred oath, you choose one type of dragon as your sovereign. The damage type associated with that dragon is used by features of this oath. If you choose Bahamut as your sovereign you can choose any metallic dragon, and if you choose Tiamat as your sovereign you can choose any chromatic dragon.

\pagebreakNum

##### Draconic Oath

| Metallic Dragon | Chromatic Dragon | Damage Type |
|:----:|:----|:----|
| Copper | Black  | Acid |
| Silver  | White | Cold |
| Gold, Brass | Red | Fire |
| Bronze | Blue  | Lightning |
| *none* | Green | Poison |

When you deal damage with your oath spells, or your Divine Smite and Improved Divine Smite class features, you can now switch the damage type with the one associated with your Draconic Oath.

### Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

**Frightening Presence.** As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to exude a terrifying presence. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw if it can see you. On a failed save, the target is frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

**Wing Buffet.** As an action, you summon radiant wings that create a strong wind. Each creature of your choice in a 30-foot cone, which originates from you, must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, they are pushed back 15 feet from you and fall prone, and if they encounter a solid obstacle take 1d6 + your paladin level bludgeoning damage. On a success, they are instead knocked back 5 feet.

### Aura of the Dragon Queen

*Chromatic Draconic Oath only*

Beginning at 7th level, you imbue your own weapons and those of your allies with the elemental fury of your dragon sovereign. When you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you hits a creature with a weapon attack, it will deal extra damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) of the type associated with your Draconic Oath. A creature can only deal this extra damage once per turn.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

### Aura of the Platinum Dragon

*Metallic Draconic Oath only*

Beginning at 7th level, your devotion grants you and those around you the divine protection of your dragon sovereign. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you reduce all bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage taken by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). Creatures reduce damage this way before resistances have been calculated.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

\columnbreak

### Draconic Wings

At 15th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of spectral dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

While these wings are active, all other friendly creatures who are within 5 feet of you gain half cover.

### Draconic Avatar

At 20th level, you can use your action to temporarily ascend to the ideal of dragonkind, sharing its majesty with those around you. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
- You have immunity to the damage type associated with your Draconic Oath.
- You gain the effects of the Enlarge option from the *enlarge/reduce* spell.
- You and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you gain half cover, provided your wings are active.
- You can use your bonus action to exhale destructive energy of your Draconic Oath's damage type in a 30-foot cone, which leaves your allies unscathed. Each creature of your choice in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. Each target takes damage equal to 3d10 + your Charisma modifier on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You can choose to change its damage type to radiant damage.

## Stormscale

Stormscale are elite warrior rogues that serve blue dragons. They bend lightning by using dragon magic, and use it to relentlessly pursue opponents. Hard to pin down, they present formidable foes that can turn the tide of battle.

Stormscale are famous for being able to fullfill multiple roles. They are feared as assassins who lock down spellcasters, or warriors who dash towards their opponents and take them by surprise. Stormscale are students of blue dragon masters, known as a maekrix, who teaches them a secretive form of magic at their conclaves, also known as a Stormshells. Blue dragons are renowned for not only creating half dragon offspring as loyal soldiers, but more so for treating their offspring with equal affection, both full and half dragons. They are aware of the limitations of their mortal offspring, as only a few can "ascend to dragonhood", and as such train them to fullfill different roles for their masters. Stormscale are usually half blue dragons, but many other races have been known to be "adopted" by blue dragons, after they sensed their distant blue dragon lineage.

Stormscale are taught how to draw raw magic from their blue dragon heritage, allowing them more restricted but also more flexible methods of employing dragon magic.

#### Storm Conduit

At 3rd level, when you use your Sneak Attack feature, you can choose to turn the Sneak Attack damage into lightning damage. If you do so, you can also cause a Lightning Arc. Choose another creature within 30 feet of the creature you attacked and force it to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failure, it takes lightning damage equal to your rogue level.

Starting at 9th level, creatures that take lightning damage from you can't take reactions until the start of your next turn.

#### Unleashed Tempest

At 3rd level, you become quick as lightning. Your speed increases by 5 feet when you aren't wearing heavy armor. This bonus to your speed increases to 10 feet at 9th level, 15 feet at 13th level, and 20 feet at 17th level.

You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don't need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, you have moved at least 15 feet away from where you began the turn (through teleport or standard movement), and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.

> ##### Stormscale Armor
> Stormscale are skilled at interweaving freely gifted dragon scales into light armor. This light armor gains the benefits of a Dragonfriend's Armor, except it counts as a studded leather armor, and its base AC is 13 + Dex modifier.

\columnbreak

#### Stormscale Agent
Beginning at 9th level, you can flare your draconic blood to smell the magic in the air. As a bonus action, you can detect the presence and location of any magic present within 60 feet of you. If the magic was caused by a spell, you learn its school. You also learn if any such magic was active or cast within the past 10 minutes, and the location of what it affected if that target is within 60 feet of you. Once you learn its location, you keep track of it for 1 minute or until it leaves your 60 foot radius. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.

#### Cloudburst

At 13th level, you can use your bonus action to briefly become lightning. You end all effects on yourself that reduce your speed (such as the grappled and restrained conditions), and then teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Stormscale Mastery

Starting at 17th level, when a creature fails its Dexterity saving throw against a Lightning Arc, it becomes the source of a second arc that deals half as much damage as the first. You can only generate one additional arc per attack this way. In addition, if a creature generates a Lightning Arc, and there are no other creatures within 30 feet of it that are hostile to you, you can cause the charge to rebound on that creature, dealing half as much lightning damage as the arc would have.

## Draconic Bloodline, revised

Your innate magic comes from draconic magic that was mingled with your blood or that of your ancestors. Most often, sorcerers with this origin trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent.

### Dragon Ancestor
At 1st level, you choose one type of dragon as your ancestor. The damage type associated with each dragon is used by features of this subclass.

##### Dragon Ancestor

| Dragon | Damage Type |
|:----:|:----|
| Black, Copper  | Acid |
| Silver, White  | Cold |
| Brass, Gold, Red | Fire |
| Blue, Bronze  | Lightning |
| Green | Poison |

You know the *primal savagery* cantrip, and when you cast it its damage type changes to the one associated with your dragon ancestor.

When you learn the *burning hands*, *dragon's breath*, *fireball*, and *delayed blast fireball* spells you can choose to change their damage type to the one associated with your dragon ancestor. If changed, they won't ignite objects.

You can speak, read, and write Draconic. Whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

### Draconic Resilience
As magic flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon ancestors to emerge. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, your AC becomes 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

### Elemental Affinity
Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage of the type associated with your dragon ancestor, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell.

You also learn the *absorb elements* spell, which doesn't count against your number of sorcerer spells known, and you can use it against poison damage as well. You can cast it by spending 1 sorcery point or by expending a spell slot.

If the damage that triggers this spell is of the type associated with your dragon ancestor, then you can cast it without expending a spell slot or spending a sorcery point. If you already have resistance against this damage type when casting it this way, then you cast it at a spell level that is equal to your proficiency bonus.

\columnbreak

### Dragon Wings
At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, granting you a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn. Your clothes are magically changed to accommodate them, but armor has to be modified to accommodate them.

Additionally, you suffer none of the drawbacks of old age, you can't be aged magically, and your lifespan extends by 1000 years.

### Draconic Presence
Beginning at 18th level, you have advantage on melee attack rolls against creatures that are frightened.

In addition, you can channel the dread presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those around you to become awestruck or frightened. As an action, you can spend 5 sorcery points to draw on this power and exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet for 1 minute. The first time a Hostile creature starts its turn in this aura it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (if you chose awe) or frightened (if you chose fear) until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your aura for 24 hours.

## New Metamagic Options
At your DM's discretion, the following metamagic options may be available to you.

#### Draconic Fury
***Prerequisite:*** *Draconic Bloodline*
___
When you cast the *primal savagery* spell, you can spend 3 sorcery points to imbue yourself with the fury of your dragon lineage for 1 minute. For the duration, whenever you cast your *primal savagery* spell, you can make an additional attack with it as a bonus action.

#### Elemental Ancestry
***Prerequisite:*** *Draconic Bloodline*
___
Whenever you deal damage of the type associated with your dragon ancestor, and this damage would be affected by resistance, you can spend 1 sorcery point to draw upon the energy of your ancestors and overwhelm any natural or magical resistances. All damage you deal until the end of your next turn ignores resistance against the damage type associated with your dragon ancestor.

#### Frightful Spell
***Prerequisite:*** *Draconic Bloodline*
___
When you cast a spell that forces one or more creatures to make a saving throw and at least one fails its saving throw, you can spend 2 sorcery points and choose one of the affected creatures that failed its saving throw. The target becomes frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

## Optional: Pseudodragon

Unlike wizards, sorcerers usually don't have familiars to act as their companions. A way around that is to gain the trust and friendship of a pseudodragon. This option is not a stan-dard part of this revision and your DM must approve of it.

At your Dungeon Master's discretion you may be approached by a pseudodragon during your adventures. Due to its advantages, it is recommended that this happens around 5th level. After you have gained the pseudodragon's trust, usually gained over an extended period of time, you may bond with it. Your pseudodragon may gain the game statistics listed in this work instead of those in the *Monster Manual*.

As an action, you can summon your Pseudodragon to appear within 5 feet of you, if it is willing. Should your pseudodragon die, then you can revive it with full health by expending a 1st level (or higher) spell slot. After you revive your pseudodragon, it will not approach you for (usually) 8 hours as it is upset that you allowed it to die. It will however not break the familiar bond it has with you, but be sure to pamper it afterwards, like you would a cat.

However, even though your pseudodragon loves being pampered, you must avoid calling it your "pet" at any cost, for there is a chance that it will leave you if you do. After all, your pseudodragon companion is your friend, not some kind of dog. Despite this, it loves being called cute names, and it adores being cuddled like a pet would. Pseudodragons actually revel in the cuteness of their spoken name, and names like Snookie or Cuddles or Boo Boo are quite popular.

Pseudodragons are also famous for their venom, which is used as a magical ingredient, and fetches a high price on the market. It will however not allow you to "milk it", and if you slay it you can never bond with another pseudodragon again.

## The Dragon Student
The Dragon Student is an unusual patron, as you are the one teaching it. Your power comes from your Dragon Student, but it is you who helps it harness this awesome power. Technically this power comes from Io, the dragon primordial of creation, who gifted this power as an otherworldly patron. But it is your dragon student who grants it to you directly.

You are a Dragon Master, a young student of the Darastrix Academy. At a young age you were bonded with a dragon wyrmling, entrusted to you by its dragon parent. Even though you are a student, you are a master in your own right to your dragon wyrmling, as you teach it to harness its power. Due to the bonding, your wyrmling shares your drive to learn its dragon magic quickly, at the cost of other aspects of its draconic might being weakened. Although you are technically a wizard, the bond that you have made with your dragon has granted you access to its awesome dragon magic, but in exchange your own studies towards the arcane have been limited. Moreover, due to your bond you share some of the dragon's temperament, and you are inclined to actively seek out the joy of adventure. Now you and your dragon wyrmling bonded partner go out on adventures, as you seek to put the power of dragon magic into practice, regardless of your young age. Most Dragon Masters are human, but half dragons have been known to teach siblings.

Your magical bond with your dragon companion has granted you access to its powerful dragon magic in addition to your own mortal magic. For example, a *Bigby's hand* would appear like a fist when cast by a humanoid, and as a flaming claw when cast by its red dragon student. And even though you still need to study, most of your magical power comes from this bond. As such, Dragon masters have a saying when it comes to their dragons: You teach me and I teach you.

#### Expanded Spell List

You can choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

#### Bonded Dragon

At 1st level you become bonded with a dragon wyrmling, whom you help get in touch with its powerful dragon magic. The Dragon is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Dragon Student stat block. You must choose your dragon student's dragon type from the Dragon Student table.

The dragon shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take an action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block or to take the Dash, Disengage, Help or Hide action,

or to cast or use a spell. You don't require any actions to move your dragon on its own turn. If a spell requires a bonus action or reaction, you can use yours to allow your dragon to cast the spell.

Over the course of 1 minute, while out of combat and within 5 feet of your dragon, you can mend its wounds by expending a spell slot, after which it regains all its hit points. If your dragon has died, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot; your dragon returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. If it has been dead for over an hour, it gains one level of exhaustion. Your dragon regains all its hit points after finishing a short or long rest.

\pagebreakNum

Each type of dragon has a unique trait, as described in the Dragon Companion section.

You can speak, read, and write Draconic. Whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

#### Dragon Magic
At 1st level, you and your dragon share the same spell slots, and you can both cast your known warlock spells. However the damage type of your *eldritch blast*, and all spells that your dragon casts (if and when they deal damage), is changed to your chosen dragon's damage type, as listed in the Dragon Student table. Your dragon can cast *eldritch blast* as a melee spell attack. Your dragon uses your Charisma modifer for its spells, and shares your spell save DC and spell attack modifiers. Only you can maintain concentration on spells you both cast. Your dragon can cast spells without requiring material components, except a material component that has a cost. By expending a spell slot you can summon your dragon into an unoccupied 5-foot-square space within 60 feet of you as an action, but afterwards it gains one level of exhaustion.

You must choose the Pact of the Dragon as your pact at 3rd level, which is a pact that can only be chosen by this subclass.

#### Gifted Instructor

At 6th level, your firsthand experience with dragon magic has advanced your own studies substantially.

You gain proficiency in Intelligence saving throws. In addition, whenever you make an Intelligence skill check, you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to the check.

Your dragon gains a flying speed of 30 feet.

\columnbreak

> ##### Mystic Arcanum: True Polymorph
>
> If you choose the *true polymorph* spell as your Mystic Arcanum, then you can only cast it on your dragon. If you do, your dragon willingly transforms into a dragon of the same type with a CR equal to or lower than your level.

##### Dragon Student
| Dragon | Damage Type | Breath Weapon |
|:---:|:---:|:---|
| Black | Acid | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. Save) |
| Blue | Lightning | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. Save) |

#### Dragon Magic Mastery

At 10th level, you and your student's mastery of dragon magic has reached new heights. When you use your action to command your dragon to cast a warlock spell that deals damage, it adds your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to one damage roll of that spell.

If you damage creatures with a warlock spell that you cast yourself, then you can  choose a number of them equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against it (if any), and suffer no damage from it.

####     Aerial Superiority

At 14th level, your dragon's flying speed is increased to 50 feet, and it doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy’s reach (nor does its rider).

While you are mounted on your dragon, you can force a direct attack targeted at you to target your dragon instead, as it shields you from ongoing attacks. Area effects still affect the both of you normally.

## Pact of the Dragon

When you use your action to command your dragon to cast or use a warlock spell, and a creature was hit by this spell or failed its saving throw against it, then your dragon gains temporary hit points equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus.

You can now issue a command to your dragon as a bonus action instead of an action, except when you command it to cast or use a spell. You can only issue one command per turn.

\pagebreakNum

## Dragon Companion

Each dragon type is unique, and has certain quirks that Dragon Masters should take into account when teaching their Dragon Student. In addition, each type of dragon has a unique trait, granting you both additional benefits:

### Black Dragon

The black dragon wyrmling is a fierce creature, who always seems to be angry about something. It likes to spit acid at anything that moves, and even things that don't move. The black wyrmling is one of the most difficult to teach dragons, but those that earn their respect will gain a capable student. It is known as the most evil of dragons, but with a strong enough bond, usually gained through respect for its Dragon Master's power, it can be surprisingly loyal. Provided its Dragon Master lets it kill other creatures from time to time.

**Swamp Dweller (unique trait):** Your black dragon has a swim speed of 30 feet, and it can breathe air and water. It can eat rotten and spoiled food without any penalties. The *melf's acid arrow*, *vitriolic sphere*, and *insect plague* spells count as warlock spells for you. Additionally, you and your dragon gain proficiency in the Stealth skill (+3 in its stat block).

### Blue Dragon

Although a blue dragon Wyrmling is not as ferocious as a black one, it loves to hunt. It also has an innate talent for strategies, and loves it when you involve it into planning a battle. It learns quickly and is rather easy to teach, however the difficult part is getting its parent's trust, as blue dragons are known to be affectionate and caring parents. Like adult blue dragons, it loves to fool others with its illusionary magic.

**Desert Stalker (unique trait):** Your blue dragon knows the *minor illusion* cantrip, but only your dragon can cast it. The *create or destroy water*, *call lightning*, *storm sphere*, and *mirage arcane* spells count as warlock spells for you.

When you use your action or bonus action to command your blue dragon to take the Disengage action, it gains a burrow speed of 15 feet through non-rock earth until it re-emerges for free while near the surface. Its vision, breathing, and hearing is unhindered, unless it burrows deeper than 15 feet. It cannot burrow this way while carrying a rider. While burrowed, your dragon has total cover, and creatures suffer a -5 penalty to their ability checks to find it.

### Brass Dragon

Young brass dragons love to talk, and will talk to anyone whether the other being talks back or not. If no one stops to talk to the wyrmling, it will talk to itself. Talking and listening to your wyrmling is one way to ensure that the wyrmling will bond to you, as brass dragons are very social creatures.

**Talkative Dragon (unique trait):** Your brass dragon can cast the *comprehend languages* spell as a ritual. The *speak with animals* spell counts as a warlock spell for you, and when you learn it your dragon can cast it as a ritual.

When you use your action or bonus action to command your brass dragon to take the Disengage action, it gains a burrow speed of 15 feet through non-rock earth until it re-emerges for free while near the surface. Its vision, breathing, and hearing is unhindered, unless it burrows deeper than 15 feet. It cannot burrow this way while carrying a rider. While burrowed, your dragon has total cover, and creatures suffer a -5 penalty to their ability checks to find it.

### Bronze Dragon

Think about a playful puppy or kitten, add a strong desire to help others, and you understand what a bronze dragon wyrmling is all about. The best way to bond with your dragon is to help the bronze wyrmling help others. It loves tales about heroic knights, and will often want to ride you into battle. It loves to swim, and its favourite food is sharks.

**Valorous Dragon (unique trait):** Your bronze dragon has a swim speed of 30 feet, and it can breathe air and water. It has advantage on saving throws against being frightened, which it shares with you while you ride it. The *detect thoughts*, *create food and water*, *water breathing*, *control water*, and *maelstrom* spells count as warlock spells for you. When you learn the *water breathing* spell, your dragon can cast it as a ritual.

### Copper Dragon

The copper dragon wyrmling loves a challenge, usually of the mental kind. A riddle, a pun, a silly poem, any of these are certain to keep the wyrmling near you. The copper wyrmling loves to unravel mysteries, so it might wander from your side to discover something new. The Wyrmling also enjoys physical challenges such as a quick battle or a hunt for small creatures to eat, like spiders and centipedes. It also loves to shape the earth with its magic, and play pranks on others.

**Earth Shaper (unique trait):** Your copper dragon has a climb speed of 30 feet. It knows the *mold earth* cantrip, but only your dragon can cast it. The *meld into stone*, *stone shape*, *vitriolic sphere*, *cloudkill*, *wall of stone*, and *move earth* spells count as warlock spells for you. When you learn the *meld into stone* spell your dragon can cast it as a ritual, which will cause you both to become affected by this spell, during which you remain fully aware of your surroundings.

### Gold Dragon

A gold dragon wyrmling makes an excellent candidate for a Dragon Student, because often the wyrmling's parents will send it off to be fostered by another family, which helps it learn about the world, and a Dragon Master is the next best thing to them. Like adult gold dragons it seeks to fight evil in a cunning way. Note that your gold wyrmling lacks the tentacle whiskers and horns that distinguish an adult gold dragon. It is fond of having pearls and gems in its diet, if you can afford it.

**Evil's Bane (unique trait):** Your gold dragon has a swim speed of 30 feet, and it can breathe air and water. Whenever your dragon would deal fire damage to fiends and undead creatures, it deals radiant damage instead. It gains proficiency in Wisdom saving throws (+3 in its stat block). The *bless*, *slow*, *globe of invulnerability*, *delayed blast fireball*, *maze*, and *sunburst* spells count as warlock spells for you.

\pagebreakNum

### Green Dragon
Green dragon wyrmlings despise anything fun or silly. As such, if you choose to teach a green dragon, you'd better not laugh. Make certain your green wyrmling remains well fed at all times. Otherwise you may find your dragon gobbling up any unsuspecting food source in its path. Green dragons will eat anything if they are hungry enough, from trees and other plants to elves and sprites. All green dragons have a black hide when they first emerge from their eggs. As the dragon matures, its scales fade to a glossy shade of green.

**Forest Dragon (unique trait):** Your green dragon has a swim speed of 30 feet, and it can breathe air and water. Your dragon can cast the *entangle* spell once with this trait, and regain the ability to cast it this way after finishing a long rest. The *entangle*, *plant growth*, *confusion*, *cloudkill*, and *dominate person* spells count as warlock spells for you.

### Red Dragon

Red dragons are the most powerful but also the most difficult to teach Dragon Students. They are proud and prefer to make achievements without the help of others, though thanks to your bond your dragon will make an exception for you. It often refuses to abandon a fight it has started, and it loves to fight. They enjoy burning things, especially things made by people.

**Proud Tyrant (unique trait):** Your red dragon has a climb speed of 30 feet. Additionally, it has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Your dragon can cast the *identify* spell as a ritual. The *locate object*, *fire shield*,  and *immolation* spells count as warlock spells for you.

### Silver Dragon

You will find that this wyrmling is constantly around you, as it finds humanoids (especially humans) fascinating. They

\columnbreak

always want to know why humanoids act as they do or perform certain tasks. Satisfying your wyrmling's curiosity is one way to form a strong bond with it. The wyrmling also has an insatiable need to help others, and likes being appreciated. Silver dragons also love to fly, so keep in mind 
that the bond's hinderance of its draconic flight is a sensitive topic, and that it chooses not to complain on its own accord as it truly desires to help you out and be as useful as it can to you.

**Dragon of the skies (unique trait):** While gliding, your dragon is able to move two feet horizontally for each foot that it falls. At 6th level, its flying speed is increased to 40 feet, and at 14th level its flying speed is increased to 60 feet. It can move on top of clouds as if they were solid ground. The *gust of wind*, *ice storm*, *reverse gravity* and *whirlwind* spells count as warlock spells for you. If your dragon is the one who casts these spells, you can decide which creatures are affected by them (and which aren't) for their duration.

### White Dragon

The white dragon has a very different view of the world, and is generally known for its non-social attitude and preference for physical action. The trick to teaching white dragon wyrmlings is to use food. This dragon focusses on survival, so you must show it that it's safe around you, as well as well fed. If you do, then it will consider your survival its survival.

**Hardy Survivor (unique trait):** Your white dragon has a climb speed of 30 feet. It can walk over icy and cold surfaces as if under the effect of the *spider climb* spell. When your dragon casts *armor of agathys*, the temporary hit points and damage dealt by the spell increase by a number equal to your Charisma modifier. The *ice knife*, *ice storm* and *wall of ice* spells count as warlock spells for you. You and your dragon gain proficiency in the Survival skill (+3 in its stat block).

\pagebreakNum

## New Eldritch Invocations

When you gain invocations outside of the ones listed here, that refer to you (such as the Agonizing Blast invocation), they also apply to your dragon companion.

#### Breath Weapon
***Prerequisite:*** *eldritch blast cantrip, Bonded Dragon feature.*
___
Dragon magic is elemental magic, and a dragon's breath weapon is one of the simplest expressions of this power. Although the bond has weakened many of your Dragon's draconic attributes, it has enhanced its magical potential, and this invocation brings back some of that power.

When you command your Dragon to cast *eldritch blast*, you can choose to change it into an area attack with a DC saving throw, which is different for each dragon and listed in the Dragon Student table. It damages all creatures in the area. Instead of firing additional beams, its breath weapon deals an additional 1d10 damage at 5th level, 11th level, and 17th level this way. A creature takes half damage on a successful save.

If you possess the Agonizing Blast invocation, then when you deal damage with your *eldrtich blast* spell this way, each creature that suffers damage counts as a hit, and you can add the total bonus damage to each affected creature.

#### Dragon Warrior
***Prerequisite:*** *Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one melee weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. It counts as a magical weapon. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest.

#### Draconic Smite
***Prerequisite:*** *5th level, Pact of the Dragon feature*
___
Once per turn when you hit a creature with a melee weapon, you can expend a warlock spell slot to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the type associated with your Dragon Student to the target, plus another 1d8 per level of the spell slot, and you can knock the target prone if it is Huge or smaller.

Flying creatures will count as prone for game mechanics.

#### Improved Breath Weapon
***Prerequisite:*** *5th level, Breath Weapon invocation, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
When you command your dragon to cast *eldritch blast* as a breath weapon, you can double its range (a cone becomes 30-foot, and a line becomes 60-feet long and 10 feet wide).

#### Improved Dragon Warrior
***Prerequisite:*** *5th level, Dragon Warrior invocation, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
You can use any weapon that you enhanced with your Dragon Warrior invocation as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You can summon it to your hand as an action.

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with this weapon, the creature takes extra damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) of the type associated with your Dragon Student's damage type.

#### Advanced Dragon Magic
***Prerequisite:*** *7th level, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
Your dragon's bite attack deals additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) of the type associated with your Dragon Student's damage type. In addition, all its attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

When your dragon receives temporary hit points through the Pact of the Dragon feature, you add your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to this amount.

#### Dragon Rider
***Prerequisite:*** *7th level, eldritch blast cantrip, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
When you take the Attack action on your turn to make a weapon attack (or the Ready action to prepare a weapon attack) while riding your dragon, you can now use your bonus action to command your dragon to cast *eldritch blast* as a melee spell attack (this doesn't benefit from your Pact of the Dragon nor Dragon Magic Mastery features). You can only make one attack with the Attack action this way. You and your dragon combined can only cast one spell per turn this way. You can't change this eldritch blast into a breath weapon.

#### Gifted Student
***Prerequisite:*** *7th level, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
When your dragon receives temporary hit points through the Pact of the Dragon feature, you can instead give these temporary hit points to another creature within 60 feet of it. Afterwards, the target cannot receive temporary hit points this way again until it finishes a short or long rest.

When your dragon would regain hit points while in combat, you can choose to regain these hit points yourself instead.

#### Elemental Fury
***Prerequisite:*** *12th level, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
When you or your dragon deals damage, you ignore resistance against your Dragon Student's damage type.

#### Combine Magic
***Prerequisite:*** *15th level, Pact of the Dragon feature.*
___
If a Dragon Master shares a particularly strong bond with his or her dragon, the pair can even cast spells together that combine the best of the mortal and dragon forms of magic, going where no mortal or dragon could go before.

When you use your action to command your dragon to cast a warlock spell that expends a spell slot and deals damage, you can now use your bonus action to deal maximum damage with that spell, provided your dragon is within 30 feet of you. When you enhance a spell this way, you can choose which creatures are affected by that spell, and which aren't.

The first time you do so, you and your dragon each suffer 2d12 force damage due to the feedback. If you use this invocation again before finishing a long rest, the force damage increases by 2d12. This damage ignores temporary hit points, resistance, and immunity.

# The Draconic Races
Half dragons, dragonborn, and kobolds are often collectively referred to as the draconic races. The one thing that all draconic races have in common is that the blood of dragons flows through their veins. Because of this, or in some cases despite this, they are naturally drawn to each other.

### Dragonborn

Dragonborn, as their name indicates, are born from dragons. They were created with the essence of dragons and look the most draconic out of all the humanoid draconic races. Like half dragons, the blood of a particular type of dragon runs strong through each dragonborn, granting additional traits.

Despite this, most don't have a tail like the half dragons have, and those that do are often shunned due to it being considered a bad omen for dragonborn to have a tail. They are divided into subgroups based on the draconic fragments that they possess. Most are blessed with a powerful soul piercing roar, while others have developing wings. Regardless of their gifts, they have a reputation for being reliable and honorable.

Their origins vary, but often they were created by dragons as shock troops and servants. Because of this dragonborn have mixed feelings towards dragons in general. A few take pride in their origin, but most hold a grudge against dragons as they were little more than slaves. Regardless of their stance on this, dragonborn pride themselves on their own skill and ability to take care of themselves, showing their worth through their own actions. As such, a continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the dragonborn race. They value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. And they make mastery of a particular skill their lifetime goal. Those half dragons that are raised by dragonborn communities usually have a similar mindset and will often strive even harder to prove their worth. To most dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself. Each dragonborn’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position. Unlike half dragons, dragonborn live relative short lives, only around 80 years, but no less fulfilling ones.

#### Relationship with other races

Dragonborn as a whole share a strong bond with half dragons, despite the origins of the latter. Even those dragonborn that hold the greatest grudge against dragons will often not extend this grudge to half dragons. This is likely due to the similarities that both races share, most of all how they similarly have draconic blood, and don't feel that this defines them similar to how it does not define themselves.

They also tolerate the presence of kobolds, and even come to their defense when they are in trouble. Unless they deserve it, which is usually the case. Nonetheless, they respect the race it's devotion to their families and the group as a whole, and have grown to appreciate their skill at sewage management.

They often get annoyed at the borderline worship that

\columnbreak

___
kobolds have for them, but generally tolerate it while simultaneously relying heavily upon their unorthodox skills and high numbers.

Their opinion on the other races varies, as they tend to value people's skill and merit the most. Usually, they tend to get along with dwarves due to their strong senses of honor and duty. Humans are seen as both fascinating as well as dangerous, but overall they have a friendly relationship. They respect the skill of the Elves and the strong sense towards communities that halflings have. Gnomes are seen with a slightly less positive view due to their rivalry with the kobolds, to whom they have grown somewhat attached. But if a gnome proves its merit, it will often find a devoted ally and friend.

#### Ironscale Legions

The dragonborn are the most organized of all the draconic races. This is because they were originally created as foot soldiers for true dragons, to fight in their many wars. Eventually many broke free, but they kept their military ways. Although dragonborn are divided within clans, all clans come together and form legions together, working under a council that was elected by the numerous clans. These are named the Ironscale Legions, and are a force to be reckoned with.

These legions comprise mostly out of dragonborn, but also contain a large number of kobolds, who function as scouts and support, as well as half dragons who fill more specialized roles. True dragons however, due to the stigma that the dragonborn have against them, are generally not accepted within the ranks of a legion. Other humanoid races who are part of draconic communities, provided they prove their worth, may also become part of an Ironscale Legion. Usually these are mortal partners of half dragons, or simply races that have been absorbed within the draconic nation.

Divine spellcasters are a touchy subject, because they believe that the gods created them to be slaves of the dragons. Because of this many dragonborn consider it taboo for dragonborn to worship the gods.

\pagebreakNum

Especially since they feel that one must prove themselves through their own skill and show their worth instead of worshiping gods. Nonetheless, within the Ironscale Legion the results are ultimately what matters.

The Legion understands the use of healing and supportive magic, and as such dragonborn clerics are tolerated and even appreciated if they prove their worth. Though most divine spellcasters tend to be half dragons. Bards on the other hand are greatly appreciated within the ranks, both for their skill at healing as well as boosting the morale of the troops. Wizards and Sorcerers are also a fundamental part of a legion, as they suffer no taboo for their magic. After all, they learned how to wield magic themselves after either hard work, or because they were naturally talented, which are both traits that the dragonborn value.

#### Relationship with the Dragon Gods

The relationship that dragonborn have with the gods is a complicated one. Depending on your setting, this may also vary. In the forgotten realms setting, the dragonborn originate from Abeir, where they were servants and slaves of the dragons. Religion never took place on Abeir because the gods only existed on Toril, which is the main setting of the forgotten realms. Abeir was the planet of the primordials, where they ruled instead. On Abeir, no god would answer your prayers, so divine magic was largely useless there. The dragons eventually rose up against their former primordial masters, and eventually conquered most of the planet.

Through this war they artificially created the dragonborn, as the perfect soldiers. They lived short lives compared to dragons, but they reproduced a lot faster, and were created in mass numbers. Some tried to fight off the tyranny of dragons, but most failed. During the spell plague, a large city of dragonborn was transported to Toril, and from here dragonborn were able to walk among humans and the many other races. This could be different for your setting, but they are generally former slaves of the dragons, and believe that the gods abandoned them to dragon kind. Nevertheless, they respect talented clerics for their support magic, and once they have proven their worth will generally always accept them. Among the newly accepted gods, Bahamut the platinum dragon has become the most popular.

### Dragonforged

Dragonforged are modified warforged, and considered the pinacle of dragonborn crafting. The creation of these dragonforged was commissioned by several legions, who sought to create loyal and stalwart sentries against enemies that relied heavily on ambush tactics and assassinations. These modifications include darkvision, a "breath weapon" which launches several metal shards, and a restoration system that allows them to be more easily revived after battle. However, this came at the cost of their specialized design, and their new restoration system had a significant flaw; it conflicted with their integrated protection, and limited restoration magic from sources other than itself, as the system saw those as an outside threat while the dragonforged was in combat. Nevertheless, this flaw was accepted as many saw it at as a way of self reliance, which is considered a great virtue among dragonborn. The legions considered the project a great success, as they became known as efficient sentries, guards, and vanguard. Once they gained sentience, the dragonborn openly welcomed them

in their societies, due to the merit they had shown in their shared battles. Now these dragonforged must find their own place in this world, or they can remain in the service of their creators, which many do.

### Half Dragon

Half dragons are the most "human" among the draconic races. They appear like humans, with scales and hair colors that match their most dominant draconic ancestor. They have a long scaly tail, scaled legs, and a few scales on their torso, arms, and face.

In addition they have draconic horns sprouting from their heads, as well as draconic looking eyes. Half dragons are divided in subraces based on which draconic ancestor is the most dominant for them. Based on their ancestry, they are blessed with various benefits. But a powerful breath weapon is what they all have in common, even compared to that of the dragonborn.

Half dragons are different from dragonborn in that they were not artificially created, but instead are born or are descended from unions between dragons and mortal partners. Metallic dragons are known for their ability to take on humanoid forms, especially silver dragons, whose love for humanity has caused them to create an entire human subrace; the silverbrow humans. However, dragons are magical creatures, and many are able to wield powerful magic (see the Dragons as Innate Spellcasters variant rule in the *Monster Manual* on page 86). As such many chromatic dragons have been able to create half dragon bloodlines of their own. Blue dragon particularly are known for creating many half dragon offspring, as a way of creating weaker soldiers that will be less likely to betray them. Interesting enough, despite being chromatic dragons, blue dragons are known for being loving parents to any of their children, dragon or half dragon. Half dragons possess less bestial traits than dragonborn, but possess undeniable potential and the possibility to "ascend to dragonhood". This grants the half dragon the ability to assume their true dragon form, and become a full-fledged dragon.

In addition, half dragons live a lot longer than dragonborn, being able to live almost a millennium, and surpassing the age of elves. Despite this, they often have more children than elves do, and as such are a fast expending race, almost as fast as dragonborn. The only thing keeping this race in check from

\columnbreak

overwhelming areas are the many conflicts they tend to have. Not because they are necessarily violent (though in the case of some half dragon subraces this is indeed the case), but because they are a prideful race that doesn't shy away from a challenge and often meets it head on. Combined with the half dragon race its desire to become stronger and seek out challenges, they tend to live dangerous lives. In order to expand and increase their survival changes, half dragons usually spend the early parts of their long lives rearing and raising children, and will only adventure once they feel they have experienced this kind of life long enough, potentially leaving their current children into the care of their spouse or families. Their long lives allow them to experience both lifestyles, and it isn't uncommon for a half dragon adventurer to have children waiting at home, or to return to a life of family once their adventuring lives are behind them. However, despite their claims, their adventuring lives are never truly left behind, as their racial drive to become stronger often pushes them back into it once more. Despite this, half dragons are a race with strong individuals, and some start their lives as adventurers instead. The pull towards worthwhile challenges taking priority for them.

Alongside half silver dragons and half blue dragons, half red dragons are among the most numerous of half dragons. This has baffled many scholars, as red dragons do not have the love for humanity that, silver dragons have, nor the organization and family bonds of blue dragons. On top of that red dragons are infamous for their pride and desire to make achievements without the help of others. And ironically, while the half red dragons have the strongest desire out of all the half dragons to become stronger, they do work very well together. They are known as sea coast raiders, who pillage while sailing their longboats. While this is partially true, there are also more peaceful half red dragon villages. The half red dragons generally believe that they were formerly human tribes, who sought to create more half red dragon tribesmen to give them an edge in their many wars. They did this through temporary forged alliances with red dragons, whom they bought with gold and treasure. Over time their dominant genes spread, creating entire tribes of half red dragons.

\pagebreakNum

There are also groups of half dragons that work together with their full-blooded kin. The most notable of those are the half silver dragons, who are often raised in human settlements by their silver dragon family. These children are often the result of the silver dragon's fascination with humans, resulting in unions that create half silver dragons. Another group are the half blue dragons, who were intentionally created by blue dragon families, as they sought to create plentiful and loyal troops to serve them. Despite this ulterior motive, blue dragons are surprisingly good parents, treating their half and full-blooded offspring with equal affection. This generally results in half blue dragons being loyal servants and agents of their families. Despite being chromatic dragons, blue dragons are more likely to be mocking and manipulative than outright cruel or murderous to "lesser" creatures, which is why they love using hallucinations on travelers. The family always goes first, even if it means defying Tiamat. Because the dragons themselves already provide the brute strength to their forces, half blue dragons often become Stormscales; specialized warriors who perform key tasks. These include taking out spellcasters, who often pose the biggest threat to their full-blooded kin, assassinating key leaders, or using their incredible speed to surprise foes and take them head-on. These Stormscales are fiercely loyal to their full-blooded dragon kin, to the point that blue dragons even trust them enough to allow them to be hired by those with sufficient gold. They are greatly feared by even the most powerful of wizards, as more than one spell caster has met a grizzly demize at the hands of a Stormscale.

\columnbreak

Stormscale are also known as honorable in many cases, rewarding those that have provided a service to their cause. This seems strange to many due to their blue dragon heritage, as they generally worship Tiamat. Many speculate that they have this code of honor due to pragmatism, as it allows them the best results to persuade others, as they often have enough riches. However, if those that have gained freely gifted scales from a dragon (blue or otherwise), and requests that these scales are interweaved into light armor, most Stormscale will ensure that they find someone who can do that for them. Despite being honorable, Stormscale will pragmatically eliminate anyone who might pose a threat to their family.

#### Relationship with other races

Half dragons get along the best with dragonborn, sharing similarities with this draconic race. However, unlike dragonborn, half dragons tend to be more individualistic due to their stronger ties to their draconic ancestry, despite their more humanoid appearance. Half dragons are also the ones most accepted within dragonborn communities. This despite the long tail that half dragons have, which is seen as a bad omen if it belongs to a dragonborn. Dragonborn see half dragons as fundamentally different, despite the similarities, and that would explain their tolerance for their tails.

Kobolds are often seen in an endearing way, thinking of them as comedic but still being respectful enough to them due to their usefulness. They will usually come to the defense of one because of this endearing feeling, unless the kobold deserves its misfortune which it often does. Half dragons can be annoyed with them from time to time. However, the kobold’s valuable skills and devout worship makes these annoyances easier to overlook in the eyes of a half dragon.

They tend to get along well with most other races, though the drive and ambition that humans often possess makes half dragons gravitate towards humans more often than not. They are, however, wary of races that have unfavorable reputations based on past actions or beliefs. Yet, many half dragons will judge individuals based on their merits before deciding on an opinion about them.

##### Half Dragon players vs Half Dragon template

There is an existing half dragon template, which is meant as a boon on top of existing monsters. The half dragon player race is different in both appearance and power. Where the template makes the creature look extremely dragonlike, the playable half dragon still has a very humanoid appearance. The half dragon can have the appearance of a dwarf or halfling if the mortal parent was one, though due to its larger size it would still be medium, as well as possess all the other half dragon traits.

The term half dragon is also used as a reference to those who are descendants of such unions between dragon and mortal, and as such the name is a bit inaccurate when used in those cases. Regardless, it is a generally acceptable term when used to describe the more humanoid descendants of dragon kind.

For those players that want to play a half dragon with wings, you can discuss the following option with your DM; access to the Draconic Heritage feat from the dragonborn:

#### Blessed by the Dragon Gods

Most half dragons only possess a draconic tail and lower body, along with several scales on their upper bodies. However, there are a rare few who are blessed by the dragon gods (usually Bahamut or Tiamat) and are granted draconic wings. These blessings seem to be random, as even the most devout followers of Bahamut will find it unlikely that they would be blessed with them. Those who are lucky enough to be granted this blessing will often start with smaller or weaker wings, which need time to properly grow in size or strength. And, similar to the lesser dragon form, these wings will only further motivate them to ascend to dragonhood.

### Zekyl (Elf)

The zekyl (also known as zekylynor) are the offspring of shadow dragons and their drow partners. The shadow dragons of clan Jaezred are infamous for creating half drow and half dragon children as infiltrators as they seek to destroy drow society from within and end the oppressive and cruel matriarchy that Lolth has forced upon the drow race. Though their reasons are less benign, as they seek to rule over all of drow kind themselves, while secretly living among them.

>When playing an elf you can choose Zekyl as your elven subrace, provided you have your DM's permission. You have access to all the customization options that drow and half dragons have, including feats and epic boons. When you ascend to dragonhood you can shapechange into an adult red shadow dragon (*Monster Manual* page 84 and 98). You can choose the Draconic Heritage feat (page 7) from the dragonborn once, but must choose the Wings trait of the Wayfarer subrace. Zekyl players gain the following racial traits:

Zekyl Dragon Domain clerics, that chose the shadow dragon for their Draconic Blessing, will deal necrotic damage in a 30-foot cone (Dex. Save) with their Dragon's Wrath Channel Divinity feature. Zekyl Draconic Bloodline sorcerers can choose necrotic as one of the damage types when casting the elemental exchange spell, and can use the absorb elements spell against necrotic damage as well.*
>
>####

As they grow stronger, they are able to ascend to dragonhood in a similar manner as half dragons are, and will become known as drow-dragons. However, due to the chaotic influences of the shadowfell, they are not truly half dragons themselves, as they are genetically closer to their elven lineage. Which is why, when ascended, they consider themselves an entirely different species.

Due to the chaotic influences of the shadowfell, their appearance varies, but they always share some draconic characteristics. Unlike half dragons they do not have a natural resistance against an elemental type, but instead their shadow touched nature allows them to change their appearance, enabling them to infiltrate drow society from within. They are also far more likely to develop wings than regular half dragons are, which scholars believe is due to the influences of the shadowfell instead of a deity.

Similar to blue dragons, shadow dragons are affectionate to all of their children, shadow dragon or zekyl alike. Because of this strong family bond, most zekyl have an strong sense of loyalty to the shadow dragons that govern over them. Yet some Zekyl follow the deities Vhaeraun and Eilistraee, whom they consider allies against Lolth. While others become adventurers, who seek to leave the Underdark all together.

### Silverbrow (Human)

Silver dragons relish humanoid form and enjoy many of the same daily pleasures as humans. Long ago, communities of humans welcomed disguised silver dragons among them, not knowing the truth about their new neighbors. In these communities, half silver dragon children became common as the dragon visitors married their human friends. These communities either welcomed these children, or their draconic parents used their magic to alter their appearance. Over time, as these children mingled with other humans, the overtly draconic physical characteristics faded, leaving human-looking children with silver dragon bloodlines. Eventually, the dragons themselves departed, leaving behind a strong draconic heritage; a silver streak or highlights in the hair. They came to be known as silverbrow humans.

### Kobold
When most people think of kobolds, having a draconic ancestor is likely one of the last things that comes to their mind. Kobolds are cowardly by nature, and have a weaker moral standing than most other races. As such they seem to have little in common with their draconic ancestors. Nevertheless, kobolds are quite capable crafters and builders, if they are instructed well enough. And they have an uncanny natural affinity for tunneling and laying traps. Kobolds can live up to 120 years, but their tendency of almost comedically getting themselves killed means they rarely live that long. They are the most numerous of all the draconic races, and they are also renowned for their teamwork. When fighting alongside other kobolds they are also far less cowardly.

What they are most renowned for however is their worship of dragons, whose whims and even cruelty they readily forgive. This despite their tendency to be petty and spiteful if they don't receive the respect they believe they deserve as descendants of glorious dragonkind. Indeed, no form of treachery comes to mind when a dragon is involved. And as far as they are concerned, dragonborn and half dragons are every bit as dragon as true dragons are.

#### Wild Kobolds
Those kobolds that are found as opponents to adventurers are usually "wild kobolds" as they are described by those that understand the difference. These kobolds are far less likely to interact with other races, and have developed a sensitivity to sunlight because they are not accustomed to living outside their tunnels. Like the more civilized Kobolds, who are sometimes referred to as "high kobolds" by scholars, they are renowned trap makers and tunnelers. However, these wild kobolds often struggle to survive, and as such they are better trained at teamwork, as those that aren't are usually eaten quite early in their lives. This also means that they are less educated, and far more hostile. Kobold players may choose to sympathize with their less developed cousins, or they could be scornful. Not liking how these even more cowardly kobolds give them a bad name.

### Relationship with other races
Kobolds revere both dragonborn and half dragons, to the point that it is almost worship. And although they will also stand up to their own interests (which they consider a sign that they are worthy) they will still do everything within their power to prove their worth to them. These are generalizations, but overall they do tend to be highly positive towards dragonborn and half dragons, especially those that show them a shred of respect. Which doesn't have to be a whole lot all things considered. As such the other draconic races tolerate them, either annoyed or endeared, or both.

Other humanoid races on the other hand are often met with suspicion, and the feeling is often mutual. However, many kobolds are more open, especially if a good meal is involved. Gnomes however, are generally considered a racial enemy, though some kobolds can overlook that if the meal is sufficient enough.

#### Dragonwrought Kobolds
Dragonwrought kobolds are rare members of the kobold race with a stronger connection to their draconic ancestors.
___
All dragonwrought kobolds have scales that are tinted in a hue that aligns with their respective ancestors. The eggs that dragonwrought kobolds come from are covered in specks matching the color of their true dragon relative, increasing in size and number over time. These kobolds are born with a set of reptilian wings, but only some can immediately use them for flight. In most cases it will take practice and experience for them to fully utilize their wings to their fullest.

The influence of a dragonwrought kobold's ancestry is deep enough that they are granted several abilities. They are immune to magical sleep effects, and are resistant to paralysis as well as their draconic ancestor's elemental type. Those with chromatic ancestry live up to five times longer than regular kobolds, and those with metallic ancestors can live up to ten times longer. Which is rather impressive seeing as kobolds can usually live up to 120 years.

Dragonwrought eggs are usually brought to sacred kobold communities in mountain ranges or other high altitudes, where they focus on training their wings instead of digging through the earth and placing traps. They are also more prideful then regular kobolds, but this does not dissuade other kobolds from revering them in the slightest.

Usually dragonwrought kobolds are born from special eggs, but sometimes the draconic gods bestow the gift of dragonwrought upon those kobolds who earn their favor. These kobolds are called Urds, named after the draconic word for wings, and are equally revered.

# Religion
Worship is a sensitive topic among the draconic races. On one hand Bahamut is often worshipped by half dragons, while Tiamat is usually worshipped by half dragons of evil alignment. Asgorath, also known as Io, the Ninefold Dragon, who created the dragon gods and all of dragonkind, cares for the betterment of dragon society as a whole, and those who worship him often have very different interpretations. Regardless, he cares for all dragon kind, which includes the draconic races.

Dragonborn on the other hand prefer not to revere gods, and will mostly just tolerate their worship. Especially dragon gods are a touchy subject, as they are generally not very fond of true dragons, which extends to the dragon gods. Even as they receive blessings, or fragments, of what makes a true dragon, they still do not think fondly of dragon kind. Most dragonborn believe that the gods created them as slaves to the dragons, so worship among dragonborn is considered taboo. Most dragonborn who revere gods are usually paladins, as paladins are purpose driven and honor bound. They earn the blessings of their gods through deeds, not by praying or asking for aid. In their minds they will become so strong and powerful that the entity will recognize them, see the value within them, and offer its help to them. Which they will accept for the betterment of the clan, and those around them. This is why those who revere gods are usually paladins instead of clerics, and why dragonborn warlocks are extremely rare.

The main deities of the draconic pantheon are Bahamut and Tiamat. They are also the ones who enjoy the most non-draconic followers, and have been at odds with each other since the beginning of creation.

All dragon gods have in common that they value strength and independence, and this is one of the few areas where Bahamut and Tiamat find common place. Bahamut on one hand promotes strength in his followers and teaches them to promote independence. He will shield those that are weaker, but strongly encourages those weaker beings to strive to improve themselves. While Tiamat has little patience for weakness, and encourages her followers to kill those that provide no use to them.

### Asgorath
Asgorath, also known as Io, is the lawful neutral dragon deity of creation. He (or she, as some traditions suggested) is regarded as the creator of the multiverse and of dragonkind. He manipulates the destinies of all dragons by operating in a way that nobody suspected his involvement. Asgorath is sup-posed to encompass all alignments, but is often regarded as neutral. In the Outer Planes, he is more commonly known as Io. His holy symbol, an unadorned circle, represents totality.

Some sages believe that Asgorath is an aspect of the World Serpent concept, while others claim that Asgorath is actually a primordial that had ascended to godhood. Regardless, Asgorath is revered by dragons of all kinds. He is also worshiped by some half dragons, kobolds, lizardfolk, troglodytes, humans, and even a few dragonborn.

Asgorath has no enemies among the other gods, because of his neutral point of view. Even those of opposing alignments can find common cause under the banner of the World Shaper.

### Bahamut
Bahamut is the lawful good dragon god of justice, good dragons, metallic dragons, wisdom, and enlightened justice (justice tempered with mercy and punishment with forgiveness). Bahamut is stern and very disapproving of evil, always arguing with Asgorath about his crusade against it. He accepts no excuses for evil acts, and doesn't tolerate even minor offenses by evil creatures. Despite his stance, he is also considered one of the most compassionate beings in the multiverse. He has limitless empathy for the downtrodden, the dispossessed, and the helpless. He usually prefers to polymorph those who had offended him instead of killing them, although it is also said that Bahamut loathes to sully himself with the blood of evil creatures.

\pagebreakNum

By draconic standards, Bahamut is neither vain or desirous of treasure. He values wisdom, knowledge, prophecies, and songs instead. He uses the great wealth he has amassed over the ages to help those in need, while using the magic items he has gathered to further his goals. However, he also pursues viciously (usually sending his champions and followers) those who try to steal the hoard from his palace as, after all, he is a god of justice.

Bahamut also likes to prove the strength and worthiness of his followers by battling against them in his dragon form, halting the combat when his followers are injured or when he overcomes them. However, he is prone to get carried away by his zeal, and has powerful healers on hand in case he has gravely injured one of his followers in those battles.

While his court is comprised only of gold dragons, Bahamut enjoys the company of all good dragons, delighting in their differences and varied personalities.

### Kurtulmak

Kurtulmak is the lawful evil or lawful neutral (depending on branch) patron god of kobolds. Interesting enough, there are two branches of worship that revere him.

The first one is practiced by the wild kobolds, who preach that Kurtulmak tirelessly drives kobolds to make war upon gnomes, in retaliation for a prank the gnomish deity Garl Glittergold pulled on him. This version of Kurtulmak is known to have neither compassion nor a sense of humor. Their symbol is a gnome's skull pierced with an iron stake.

The second branch is practiced by the more civilized kobolds, in which Kurtulmak is of lawful neutral alignment. It tells that Kurtulmak is a victim of a cowardly act by Garl Glittergold, but that one day their people will rise up and bring him to justice. Their holy symbol is the head of a kobold with golden eyes, and two crossed pickaxes.
___
The First story tells of how Kurtulmak decided to carve out a great cavern and rig it to collapse, whereupon he would then play a great jest; he would invite all of the other racial deities to the cavern for a feast, whereupon he would tell

\columnbreak

___
them the tale of "The Violation of Tiamat's Lair." At the tale's end, he would pull out an ornate stone trigger and bury the assembled deities alive. The subsequent turn of events differs on whether the myth's teller is a kobold or a gnome, but either way Garl Glittergold stumbled across Kurtulmak's cavern and pulled the trigger, burying the God of the kobolds in his own trap. The kobold version insists that Garl Glittergold did so because he was jealous of Kurtulmak's creation, whilst the gnomish version claims that Garl admired Kurtulmak's work and pulled the keystone out simply to see if it worked.

The second story, as told by those kobolds that are more civilized, tells an entirely different tale: When Io gave the secret of creation to the first true dragons, the first dragon to use that secret was Caesinsjach, a green dragon. The first kobold was Kurtulmak. Caesinsjach chose to command her new creations through Kurtulmak; and he ascended to a position of leadership. When Caesinsjach told the kobolds   to mine for precious metal, Kurtulmak invented the pickaxe  When she ordered them to tile her lair with gold Kurtulmak Kurtulmak minted the first draconic coin. And when she told them to mine precious stones, Kurtulmak taught himself sorcery to divine where minerals were located. When Caesinsjach's lair was finished and she had become the wealthiest dragon in creation she let the kobolds go free. In emulation of his former mistress, Kurtulmak immediately began mining a lair for him-self. Although he never asked for help, every kobold he ever worked with came to his aid. Kurtulmak found a spot with a near limitless supply of metal ore and precious stones. With Kurtulmak commanding the operation, it quickly became the most structurally sound and resourcefully designed mine the world had ever seen. Kurtulmak called it Darastrixhurthi, a fortress fit for dragons. Nothing rivaled it. Garl Glittergold was not pleased. While his gnomes were playing useless games, the kobolds were busy working and were ready to emerge as a dominant race. And so with a wave of his hand, Garl collapsed Kurtulmak's mine, crushing all the kobolds inside. The other gods demanded an explanation but no deity came forward to reverse the damage done. Io, realizing that no god would help, found Kurtulmak still clinging to life. Even buried under the mountain he would not give up on his people. Io gave Kurtulmak a choice. He would empower Kurtulmak with

\pagebreakNum

___
the strength to rebuild the mine, or he would make the mighty kobold a champion of his people for all eternity. In this latter case, the loss of Darastrixhurthi would remain, but the memory of what happened would never be forgotten.

All kobolds are far less fearful when fighting alongside their tribe, as they believe that when they die serving their tribe they will be reincarnated as the next egg laid in a hatchery. If a kobold dies serving its own need instead of those of the tribe, it gets reincarnated as the next pup born in the dire weasel stables. And if it betrays the tribe, it will reincarnate as a giant stag beetle. Those who die while sacrificing them-selves for the tribe are instead send to Kurtulmak's mine in heaven, and the most productive and loyal kobolds there will be reincarnated as dragons on the material plane. Those faithfully serving a dragon, without betraying their tribe, also gain these divine rewards. They live, they die, they live again.

### Tiamat

Known as the Dragon Queen, Tiamat is the lawful evil dragon goddess of greed and evil dragons. She is the eternal rival of her brother Bahamut, ruler of the good metallic dragons.

Tiamat is arrogant, greedy, hateful, spiteful and vain. She never forgives any kind of slight, and is focused in obtaining more power and wealth. She disdains mortals, regarding them as mere disposable tools in her schemes. When needed, she is charming and fey, but her self-serving and reptilian personality betrays her sooner or later. Tiamat enjoys the company of male dragons, and has many great wyrm consorts of the chromatic varieties. She also has an insatiable greed for treasures but prefers that her followers bring it to her in the form of gifts instead of searching for riches on her own.

Tiamat feels only scorn towards her brother, as she believes that dragons should dominate the world and rule over the lesser and weaker races. Nonetheless, if a mortal follower of her proves his worth, she will indeed bestow her blessings and strength upon him. Strength and independence are virtues she is always fond off, and she can even become fond of mortals without draconic blood in their veins.

\columnbreak

## Ancient Foes
Dragons are known to be among the most powerful beings in the multiverse. As such there are few that seem to be able challenge their power. However, the multiverse is a fast place, and the enemies of dragon kind have more than one way of bringing ruin to the realms they believe are rightfully theirs.

### Primordials
The primordials, or dawn titans, are god-like beings made of manifest entropy and elemental energy. Long ago, they used the dragons as slave-steeds in their war with the gods. Later on they were banished to their own world of Abeir and took several of their slave-steeds with them. There, the dragons rose up against their masters, and were even able to defeat them. Now they are the ones to rule over Abeir. Meanwhile, many dragons were left behind by the primordials, and became a dominant species in many worlds. The primordials still remain a threat however, as some have vowed to bring dragon kind back under their rule. They usually operate through cultists, to manipulate the draconic races and destroy them from within. These cultists pose themselves as virtuous, claiming that their dragon blood makes them tended towards evil, and that they must follow the cult for guidance and let the cult take care of them. Because of the draconic races their tendency towards valuing strength and independence, this has always met with little success. When manipulating the other mortal races against them on the other hand, they have had far better success, as they paint everyone who has dragon blood in their veins as tyrants to the other races. While many true chromatic dragons are indeed evil and must be slain, more than one innocent half dragon or dragonborn has been the victim of a hateful mob set up by primordial cultists.

###  Bazim-Gorag
Bazim-Gorag the Firebringer is an ascended primordial and chaotic evil elemental lord. His appearance is that of a frog-like humanoid with red-gold skin and two froglike heads. Many of his followers are Slaad, due to him being the primordial of change. His portfolios are chance and chaos, and he is invoked by gamblers and anyone who wants the impossible. More often than not, his assistance comes at a too high price to pay. His worship is forbidden among the races of order, as he is revered as the patron of Chaos itself, and invoked by those who want a twist of fate no matter the dark price to pay. He poses a significant threat, even to dragon- kind, as his followers are mainly Slaadi. Slaadi are twisted frog like beings of pure chaos, and are renowned for their tremendous power and ability to multiply rapidly at the expense of other races. Fortunately they are usually only native to Limbo and the Supreme Throne, a fiendish plane in the World Tree cosmology. But that doesn't stop the primordial their cultists from trying to summon them into the material planes. With all the horrors that come with them.

# Dragon's Armory

Most magic items are created by wizards and artificers, crafted using complex spells and techniques beyond normal people. There are, however, some that can be made by anyone – though the materials are too hard for many to attain.

For those brave enough to confront the most dangerous magical creatures in the multiverse, extraordinary items can be crafted by people without a whiff of magical talent to call their own.

### A Dragon's Gift
Most adventurers have heard of the extraordinary powers of dragons' scales; however, few know of how much more powerful they are when given freely as opposed to those taken by force. Those who attune to dragon scale armor made of these scales gain an extension of the dragon's very essence. Only rarely does a dragon willingly give up its scales, however, as it also grants the wearer immunity against that dragon's breath weapon. Equally rare are the daggers and other weapons made of gifted dragon fangs and claws. The Dragon-friend's Armor is especially sought after by druids, who are able to wear this armor due to its lack of metal.

#### Dragonclaw War Pick
*Weapon (war pick/mace), very rare (requires attunement)*
___
This war pick is made by affixing a gifted adult dragon's claw atop a mithral shaft. This weapon can be reversed, using the blunt head as a mace. However it is used, you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this weapon.

When you wield this weapon as a war pick, it has the finesse property and deals an additional 1d8 piercing damage. Using it in this way, it can also be used as a pickaxe.

When you wield this weapon as a mace, you can use it to shove an enemy, adding 1d8 to your Strength (Athletics) check. If you successfully hit or shove a creature with this weapon, it takes an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage.

If the dragon that provided this claw dies, it becomes a magical war pick/mace that only retains its +2 bonus.

\columnbreak

#### Dragonfang Dagger
*Weapon (dagger), rare or very rare (requires attunement)*
___
A single tooth from such a full maw might seem a trifling gift, but such a fang plucked willingly from a young dragon's mouth contains within it a fragment of their essence. The hilt is wrapped in leather, carved to fit snugly in your hand.

When you attune to this weapon, a Draconic letter appears on your palm, the first letter of the name of the dragon who tore this tooth from their mouth. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this weapon. On a hit with this weapon, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage (the damage type matches the dragon whose tooth this dagger was made from). Immediately after you make a ranged attack with this weapon, it teleports back to your dragon-branded hand. You can also use a bonus action to summon the dagger to that hand as long as it is on the same plane of existence. Additionally, this dagger has a thrown range of 30/120.

An adult or older dragon is even harder to convince to part with one of its fangs, as it is also a matter of pride. But those that are convinced will grant you a great gift. These fangs are often rewarded by blue dragons to their Stormscale servants. This Dragonfang Dagger is a very rare magic item that grants its wielder all the above benefits, and your attacks with this weapon score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

If the dragon that provided this fang dies, it becomes a magical dagger that only retains its +1 bonus.

#### Dragonfriend's Armor
*Armor (scale mail), varying rarity (requires attunement)*
___
Dragon scale mail made of freely gifted scales is especially supple and sturdy. As such it doesn't impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks, and it has a base AC of 15 + Dex modifier (max 2).

| Age | Rarity | AC bonus | 
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| Wyrmling | Uncommon | +0 |
| Young | Rare | +1 |
| Adult | Very Rare | +2 |
| Ancient | Legendary | +3 |

\pagebreakNum

While wearing this armor, you can speak Draconic, you gain a bonus to AC based on the age of the dragon, you have advantage on saving throws against the Frightful Presence and breath weapons of dragons, and you have resistance to one damage type that is determined by the kind of dragon that provided the scales.

You are immune to harmful regional effects and lair actions caused by the dragon that gifted you these scales. If you are subjected to that dragon's breath weapon, you automatically succeed on the saving throw and take no damage.

If the dragon that provided these scales dies, this armor loses most of its magic, the supple scales harden, and it becomes magical scale mail that only retains its bonus to AC.

#### King's Alloy
*Armor (scale mail), legendary (requires attunement)*
___
While *dragonfriend's armor* is made from one set of gifted scales, *king's alloy* is a patchwork pulled together from scales gifted by one of each of the five types of metallic dragon, at least one of whom is Ancient. The five types of scales slide soundlessly against each other, muffling your movements and bolstering you against harm. As such it doesn't impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks, and it has a base AC of 15 + Dex modifier (max 2).

While wearing this armor, you gain the following benefits:
* You can speak Draconic.
* You gain a +3 bonus to AC and saving throws.
* You have resistance against acid, cold, fire and lightning damage.
* You are always under the effects of the *heroism* spell cast by a creature with a spellcasting modifier of +9.
* You are immune to harmful regional effects and lair actions caused by a dragon that gifted you these scales. If you are subjected to such a dragon's breath weapon, you automatically succeed on the saving throw and take no damage.

When you are within 6 miles of a dragon that gifted you these scales:
* Any healing one of you receives, both of you receive.
* You share that dragon's damage immunity.
* You and the dragon can communicate telepathically.

If the gold dragon that gifted you its scales dies, the *heroism* spell on you ends. If any of the other dragons that gifted you scales for this armor dies, you lose the damage resistance associated with that dragon. If all five dragons that gifted scales for this armor die, you die and the armor is destroyed.

***Curse.*** Once you don this armor, you can't doff it unless a creature uses a *wish* to free you.

#### Queen's Prism
*Armor (scale mail), legendary (requires attunement)*
___
While *dragonfriend's armor* is made from one set of gifted scales, *queen's prism* is a patchwork pulled together from scales gifted by one of each of the five types of chromatic dragon, at least one of whom is Ancient. The five types of scales slide soundlessly against each other, muffling your movements and bolstering you against harm. As such it doesn't impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks, and it has a base AC of 15 + Dex modifier (max 2).

While wearing this armor, you gain the following benefits:
* You can speak Draconic.
* You gain a +3 bonus to AC and saving throws.
* You have resistance against acid, cold, fire, lightning and poison damage.
* A creature that touches you or hits you with a melee attack while within 5 feet of you takes 5 poison damage (you can replace the poison damage with any damage type you are immune to).
* You are immune to harmful regional effects and lair actions caused by a dragon that gifted you these scales. If you are subjected to such a dragon's breath weapon, you automatically succeed on the saving throw and take no damage.

When you are within 6 miles of a dragon that gifted you these scales:
* If you fail a saving throw, as a reaction you can beseech a dragon that gifted you their scales to expend one of their legendary resistances to cause you instead to pass. They might choose not to aid you.
* You share that dragon's damage immunity.
* You and the dragon can communicate telepathically.

If any of the dragons that gifted you scales for this armor die, you lose the damage resistance associated with that dragon. If all five dragons that gifted scales for this armor die, you die and the armor is destroyed.

***Curse.*** Once you don this armor, you can't doff it unless a creature uses a *wish* to free you.

#### The Dragon's Maw
*Weapon (greataxe), legendary (requires attunement)*
___
Mounted on an adamantine haft, the twin blades of this greataxe are edged with razor sharp teeth gifted from all five types of ancient chromatic dragon. At the DM's discretion, these teeth can be attached to a different adamantine weapon.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, and your attacks with this weapon score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. When you hit a creature with it, you choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. The creature takes an extra 2d12 damage of the chosen type.

When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a critical hit on the attack roll, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy falls prone in this way. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.

If all the dragons that provided these teeth die, it becomes a magical weapon that only retains its +3 bonus.

# Draconic Magic Items
___
Although not gifted by Dragons themselves, these magical items are no less potent. Mortal ingenuity and fascination with these powerful creatures have spurred a surge in items that reflect Draconic power. They are often crafted by dragonborn and half dragons, and their creation and possession are ferociously guarded, though these items are often granted to kobolds and lizardfolk who have shown their value as allies.

#### Amulet of the Red Dragon
*Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)*

This item is crafted by half red dragon tribes, and gifted to those that have accomplished a great feat for their people. The amulet makes its wearer favorable in the eyes of chromatic dragons, even if they are not evil themselves. It also shields its wearer against ailments and the effects of fatigue. This makes it an invaluable item for half dragon berserkers.

___
While being attuned to it and wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

- Evil-aligned dragons recognize the symbol, and you have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with such creatures.
- You gain a + 1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with melee weapons.
- You can treat your exhaustion level as if it were one level lower. When you gain over six levels of exhaustion, you die.
- You can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest. If you start a long rest without having used this feature, you can reduce your exhaustion by an additional level after finishing that long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Draconic Collar of Willful Penitence
*Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)*

This intricate metal collar imbues you with the blessing of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. This collar is worn by those dragonborn that wish to follow a path of redemption for a past sin they are unable to let go of. Once you have performed a sufficient number of good deeds, Bahamut will grant you the inner peace you sought, and the collar will come off.

Alternatively, you can even wear this collar for the sake of someone else, gaining enough favor with Bahamut to earn his help in saving them. This item can only be given by your DM through a storyline.

While being attuned to it and wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

- You can use your Breath Weapon trait as a bonus action and you can change its damage type to radiant damage.
- Good-aligned dragons recognize the symbol, and you have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with such creatures. Dragonborn that don't follow any deity consider this collar distasteful, regardless of your intentions, and you suffer disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with such creatures.
- If you have worn this collar for an extended period of time while performing good deeds, without willingly taking it off, then at the DM's discretion the collar can come off on its own and you lose your attunement to it. This signals that you have atoned for your sins (or those of others), and you now permanently benefit from the first feature of this item, while losing the second feature.

#### Gauntlets of Bahamut
*Wondrous item, rare*

These gauntlets were first crafted by clerics of Bahamut, to mimic the mercy and kindness of the Platinum Dragon. They are made out of gifted silver dragon scales instead of metal, and are popular among both cleric and druid healers.

While wearing these gauntlets, whenever you stabilize or restore hit points to another creature, that creature regains (additional) hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.

\pagebreakNum

#### Helmet of the Ironscale Legionnaire
*Wondrous item, rare or very rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)*

This helmet is granted to those dragonborn that have proven their worth within the ranks of an Ironscale Legion, or who have done a great service to the Legion. It grants protection and a taste of the power ease with which true dragons use their birthright:

While being attuned to it and wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

- You gain a +1 bonus to your AC and saving throws.
- You add 1d6 to the damage dealt by your Breath Weapon trait.
- The helmet has 4 (rare) or 7 (very rare) charges, and regains 1d4 charges at dawn. You can expend a charge to activate your Breath Weapon racial trait without expending your normal uses.
- You have Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have Darkvision, then donning this helmet increases its range by 60 feet.

#### Runic Dragon Tattoo
*Wondrous item (tattoo), rare*

This tattoo consists of Draconic runes injected into the skin with a needle. While this tattoo is on you, you can use an action to cast the *haste* or *ianna's overcharge* (page 64) spell once on yourself, requiring no concentration. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the next dawn.

After the spell ends the tattoo becomes damaged. It can be repaired for a cost of 150 gp worth of materials by someone proficient in the Arcana or Sleight of Hand skills. You can attune to it as if it were a magic item; if you do, it will not become damaged when used. You can wear only one Runic Dragon Tattoo.

#### Staff of the Apprentice
*Staff, common (requires attunement by a cleric or druid)*

*At their DM's discretion, cleric and druid players can exchange their starting shield and melee weapon for this magical quarterstaff.*

This quarterstaff is given to neophyte druids and clerics that seek to focus more on magic while fighting. Its appearance varies, but it always has a magical core (usually a crystal or orb) which enhances the magic of the wielder. This staff was first created by clerics of Tamara, the dragon goddess of light, life, and healing. It has since been used by clerics and druids who are willing to forgo their shield to enhance their healing. This staff can be used as a spellcasting focus.

\columnbreak

When you are holding this staff without wielding a shield, and roll damage for a cantrip or roll to restore hit points through a spell and roll a 1 or 2, you can reroll the die. You must use the new roll.

You can add the magical core of your Staff of the Apprentice to any other staff, granting it all the above benefits and restrictions. Afterwards the Staff of the Apprentice becomes an ordinary quarterstaff. You can exchange this core between multiple staves, including magical staves, and an ordinary quarterstaff becomes a new Staff of the Apprentice.

#### Vicious Jawguard
*Wondrous item, uncommon*

These magical metal fangs mould to your teeth, making your bite cut deeper. This item is popular among races with a bite attack, and among owners of predatory pets. This item magically adapts to the size of the creature's bite.

This item grants its wearer the following benefits:

- You gain a bite attack, if you do not already have one. 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.
- All your bite attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- If you already have a bite attack, then the damage dice of your bite attack increase by one step. For example, d4 to d6, d6 to d8, etc. (maximum of d12). This damage increase does not stack with class features that improve your unarmed strike, such as the monk's Martial Arts feature.
___
If you are a dragonborn, your bite deals an extra 1d4 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Ancestry. If you are a lizardfolk, then when you successfully hit a target with your bite, you can use your bonus action to make a grapple check against that target. While grappling a target with your bite this way, your bite has advantage on attack rolls against it.

# Draconic Spells
Dragons are inherently magical beings, and draconic is often used in the study of magic. As such it comes as no surprise that they and their mortal descendants have created a multitude of powerful spells throughout the ages. The most notable of these are silver dragons and half silver dragons. Although silver dragons have a reputation for being sociable with humans and elves, they are mostly known for their arcane knowledge and love for humanity's drive. Silver dragons actively seek out humans, and mingle among them with their shapeshifting abilities, as they truly love how humanity forces them into action with their short yet active lives. Half silver dragons share humanity's drive, which is why many have become renowned wizards in their own right, and have created their own arcane tradition; the Dragonsinger. While half green dragons have a reputation for being gifted sorcerers, tapping into the magic of their draconic ancestry.

Opportunity attacks made against you as you move in this line are made with disadvantage.

- **Range:** 120 feet
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Instantaneous
___
Choose one creature you can see within range, the dragon primordial Io grants it a momentary glimpse of the future, and it sees a vision of its own demise.

The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 5d8 + 20 psychic damage, and is stunned for 1 minute, as its mind reels from the vision of its death. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and is incapacitated until the end of its next turn.

A stunned target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

#### Magic Fang
*Transmutation Cantrip*
___
- **Classes:** Druid
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** Touch
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
You touch a creature to enhance its natural weaponry. All of the target's natural weapons now count as magical weapons. When the target rolls a 1 or 2 on a damage die for these weapons, it can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.

Whenever the target deals damage with a natural weapon, it can deal its original amount of damage, or 1d6 (additional bonuses to its damage still apply), whichever is higher.

This damage option increases to 1d8 at 5th level, 1d10 at 11th level, and 1d12 at 17th level.

#### Radiant Mark
*Evocation Cantrip*
___
- **Classes:** Cleric
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 5 feet
- **Components:** V, M (a weapon)
- **Duration:**  1 round
___
This spell is favored by clerics of the Dragon Domain, as well as other domains that like to get close and personal.

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects and it is marked until the beginning of your next turn. The next time the marked creature is hit by an attack by a creature other than you, the attack deals additional radiant damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier and the mark is consumed.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (1d8 + modifier), 11th level (2d8 + modifier), and 17th level (3d8 + modifier).

#### Shield of Bahamut
*6th-level Abjuration*
___
- **Classes:** Bard, Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
- **Casting Time:** 1 reaction, which you take in response to an incoming threat.
- **Range:** Special
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Special
___
In the face of danger, you create a barrier that protects you and those around you. A faintly glowing sphere of protection appears in a location of your choice, although you must be within the sphere. It has a radius of your choice, to a maximum of 20 feet. The sphere originally lasts until the start of your next turn, but at the start of that turn you can use your action to maintain the barrier, up to a maximum duration of 1 minute. If you do, you must begin concentrating on that spell.

Choose one of the following options. Hazards of the chosen type cannot physically pass through the barrier or affect anything within it.

- Physical projectiles. 
- A specific spell or effect, such as a dragon's breath weapon.

\pagebreakNum

- An environmental danger, such as falling rocks or lava.
 
**At Higher Levels.** When you cast Shield of Bahamut using a spell of 7th level or higher, the maximum radius increases by 20 feet for each slot level above 6th.

#### Summon Wyvern
*6th-level Conjuration*
___
- **Classes:** Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
- **Casting Time:** 1 minute
- **Range:** 90 feet
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 hour

\columnbreak
___
You summon and bind a wyvern, which appears in an unoccupied space within range. The DM has the creature's statistics. The wyvern is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the wyvern, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). Without commands it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

If your concentration is broken, the wyvern doesn't disappear. Instead, you lose control of the wyvern, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled wyvern can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it.

> ##### Recommendations
>
> I would like to recommend the amazing **[Dragon Apprentice Ranger](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/fkoiah/)** by TheArenaGuy.
>
> Or, if you want to **play as a full dragon**, then I would recommend ChimericWilder his  **[Demi-Dragon](https://drive.google.com/file/d/102OM7CMPjurkqWbAZIruJvV4k7r4hx9O/view)**
>
> ___
> Although it is not Dragon themed, I would also like to recommend the Humblewood Campaign setting, even if you are using a different setting. The Corvum birdfolk are ideal for playing a pragmatic race that is misunderstood and willing to do what is necessary to help their friends. You can find the Humblewood free playtest on the Deck of Many their official website, which includes the Corvum player race. The Corvum are an ideal race for my homebrew **[Oath of Pragmatism](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LymhmUNbThp9-mDtpPg)**, for those that want to play a practical paladin.
>
> I strongly recommend purchasing the full **[Humblewood campaign setting](https://thedeckofmany.com/collections/humblewood)**, as a way to support its creators. It also provides you with the full content and experience, as well as many beautiful artworks.
