- Your AC becomes 10 + Dexterity + Charisma (cannot benefit from shield). If wearing armor use higher value.
- When casting a cantrip with an attack roll you can instead perform it as a melee spell attack using your Draconic Weapons. Your Draconic Weapons use the same attack and damage rolls plus the spells effect.
- Once per turn when damaging a creature with a melee attack you may add 1d4 plus half your Warlock level (minimum 1) to the damage.
- You gain temporary hit points equal to your charisma modifier plus your warlock level.
- You gain a bonus to your Constitution saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum +1).
You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Eldritch Wings
Starting at 6th level, Your Dragon Form allows you to sprout wings with limited flying ability. As a bonus action while Dragon form is active or when transforming you can fly up to half your walking speed. At the end of your turn this flying speed is reduced to zero after which you gently fall if you otherwise cannot fly. At Lv14 this feature instead provides a flying speed equal to your full walking speed and you maintain your flying speed.
Eldritch Breath
Starting at 10th level, While in your Dragon Form and casting a cantrip with a ranged attack you may target all creatures either within a 15ft cone or within a 30ft line 5ft wide. You ignore disadvantage when hostile creatures are within 5ft of you or if a target is prone. Afterwards each creature within the attacks range must succeed a strength saving throw against your Spell Save DC or be pushed 10ft back or be knocked prone, your choice.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Limited Dragon Shape
Starting at 14th level, As an action you can cast Shapechange using this feature, when doing so you can only use it to transform into a dragon who's challenge rating is equal to or lower than your level.
You do not gain the creature's hitpoints buy instead gain temporary hitpoints equal to half your max hitpoints. When you reach 0 hit points while Shapechanged this way you return to your original form with 0 hit points.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
