Seren Tribes (Eberron setting)

The Seren Tribes are the inhabitants of Seren Islands. There are about thirty tribes in all, and each tribe worships a different draconic patron. If their legends are to be believed, the Seren Tribes are the result of ancient covenants with these draconic patrons: usually to defend the lands of Argonnessen from the weak and unworthy.

Totem Spirit

At 3rd level, when you adopt this path, you choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must make or acquire a physical totem object, an amulet or similar adornment, that incorporates scales, fur, feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the creature. At your option, you also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example, if you have a bear totem spirit, you might be unusually hairy and thick-skinned, or if your totem is the eagle, your eyes turn bright yellow.

Dragon. When raging, you deal an extra 1d6 damage to a creature whenever you hit it with a melee attack, the type of which is determined by your totem dragon.

Special: If you have taken a dragon totem feature, choose a dragon from the Dragon Species and Damage Types table (page 87) as your totem dragon. In addition, you can speak, read, and write Draconic.

Tiger (revised). While raging, you can add 10 feet to your long jump distance and 3 feet to your high jump distance, and if you move at least 20 feet in a straight line toward a creature you gain advantage on melee weapon attack rolls against that creature that turn.

Aspect of the Beast

At 6th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem spirit of your choice. You can choose the same totem spirit you selected at 3rd level or a different one.

Dragon. You gain resistance to your totem dragon's damage type. If you already have resistance to this type, then you reduce damage of that type by an amount equal to your Constitution modifier (min. of 1) after halving the damage.

Spirit Walker

At 10th level, if you have taken a dragon totem feature, you can seek out dragons with the commune with nature spell.

Totemic Attunement

At 14th level, you gain a magical benefit based on a totem spirit of your choice. You can choose the same totem spirit you selected previously or a different one.

Dragon. While you’re raging, when you hit a creature with a melee attack you can create a burst of intense energy in a 10-foot-radius sphere around that creature as a bonus action. Each creature other than you in that area takes 3d6 damage of the type associated with your totem dragon.

Natural Weapon Master

Prerequisite: Permanent Claws or Bite Natural Weapon

• Increase your Strength score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• When you take the Attack action to attack with your claws, provided both your hands are free, you can make one additional attack with your claws as a bonus action.
• If you hit a target with your bite, you can use your bonus action to make a grapple check against it. While grappling a target with your bite this way, your bite has advantage on attack rolls against it.
• The base damage dice of your natural weapons increase by one step (d4 to d6, d6 to d8 etc, maximum of d12).

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. This way people can laugh about it and see the truth behind these 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 or restricted, nor the voices of others.

Spitting Fire

Starting at 14th level, you can deliver verbal components to spells with blinding speed and precision, and your words get through to even the most thick-skinned of people.

• You can expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to cast a spell with the cast time of one action as a bonus action, provided the spell has only verbal components.
• When you would deal psychic damage with a spell to creatures who are immune against this damage type, you deal force damage instead. The spell retains all the benefits that would come with dealing psychic damage.
• When you cast a spell that 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 learn 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.

Arcane Initiate

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill, and you learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.

You know one 1st-level spell of your choice from the wizard spell list, which becomes a cleric spell for you and which you can choose as one of your prepared spells. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell. You learn one additional spell from the wizard spell list this way every time you level up, up to 10th level. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level from the wizard spell list. From 10th level on, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of these wizard spells you know and replace it with another spell from the wizard spell list. It must be a 5th level or lower spell.

Divine Recovery

From 1st level, you can regain some of your magical energy by calling upon your deity for guidance. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

For example, if you’re a 4th-level cleric, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.

Channel Divinity: Arcane Abjuration

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice that is within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided that the creature can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can only use the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

After you reach 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as in the Banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown on the Arcane Banishment table.

Spell Breaker

Starting at 6th level, when you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can also end one spell of your choice on that creature. The level of the spell you end must be equal to or lower than the level of the spell slot you use to cast the healing spell. You automatically know which spells (if any) are affecting friendly creatures that you can see, as well as the level of those spells.

In addition, when you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, that ally can also immediately make a saving throw against one effect on itself, ending the effect on a success. The DC and saving throw type are determined by the effect (or by your DM).

Potent Spellcasting

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Arcane Mastery

At 17th level, you choose four spells from the wizard spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells. They are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.

When you cast a 1st level or higher spell that deals damage, you can add your Wisdom modifier to one damage roll of that spell.

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.

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.

If you choose Bahamut as your deity, then you must choose a metallic dragon (brass, bronze, copper, gold, or silver) for your Draconic Blessing. If you choose Tiamat as your deity, then you must choose a chromatic dragon (black, blue, green, red, or white) for your Draconic Blessing. If you choose Asgorath (or another dragon god) as your deity, then you can choose any dragon for your Draconic Blessing. Steel dragons are a type of metallic dragon, sapphire dragons are a type of gem dragon, and celestial dragons are their own subspecies of dragon. For game purposes, steel and gem dragons count as metallic dragons, and celestial dragons count as chromatic dragons.

When you deal damage of the type associated with your Draconic Blessing to other creatures you can see, 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 take 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.

Draconic Blessing

Dragon	Damage Type	Breath Weapon
Amethyst	Force	30 ft. cone (Con. Save)
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)

White	Cold	30 ft. cone (Con. Save)

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.

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 you regain all expended uses when you finish 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. These sickles count as a 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 learn the magic fang cantrip (page 104), and you count as being permanently affected by this cantrip. For you, this cantrip counts as a cleric cantrip.

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can treat your main and off-hand claws as light melee weapons you are holding. You can only use your claws to engage in two-weapon fighting this way while you are in your original form. These natural weapons deal 1d6 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, into an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. The Dragontooth Warrior is friendly to you and your companions, understands you, and obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Dragontooth Warrior stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. In combat, the Dragontooth Warrior shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take
another action. That action can be one in
its stat block or some other action. If you
are incapacitated, the Dragontooth Warrior
can take any action of its choice, not just
Dodge. 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. You can equip your
Warrior with a shield, and
a shield's benefits apply
on top of its natural
armor.

Domain Spells

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

Acolyte of Water

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn the frostbite and shape water cantrips. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips. You also gain proficiency with the trident (see the variant trident, page 74), and with one of the following skills of your choice: Athletics, Nature or Survival.

Gift of the Seas

Also at 1st level, you gain a swim speed of 30 feet, and you can breathe air and water. If you already have a swim speed, then that swim speed is increased by 20 feet instead.

As an action, you can touch a creature and grant them these same benefits. They retain these benefits for 1 hour. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.

Channel Divinity: Turning Tides

At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to manifest both the healing capabilities of water as well as its

unyielding wrath, to aid your allies or smite your foes.

As an action, you conjure orbs of water that hover around you, not occupying any space. The number of orbs is equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1), and they disappear after 1 minute or immediately after they come into contact with a creature after you've directed them.

As a bonus action, you can direct one of these orbs to move up to 60 feet in any direction. If an orb encounters a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take cold damage equal to 1d6 + your cleric level and have its speed halved until the start of your next turn. If an orb encounters a friendly creature, that creature regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your cleric level.

If you move an orb and it has not come into contact with a creature, that orb will remain in the space it stops in, and will cause the above effects if a creature touches it. You can not touch that orb yourself afterwards, as it moves through you, so it will neither disappear nor restore your hit points.

If a hostile creature within 5 feet of you fails its saving throw against one of your orbs, then you regain hit points equal to 1d6 + half your cleric level (rounded down).

Purifying Water

At 6th level, you can channel the strength of the seas into yourself and others. As a reaction when you or an ally that you can see within 60 feet of you is forced to make a saving throw against a spell or magical effect, you can grant them advantage on that saving throw. If that creature succeeds on that saving throw, they also regain hit points equal to 1d6 + your cleric level. You decide if they regain these hit points before or after taking the spell or effect's damage (if any).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.

Blessed Strike

At 8th level, when a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 cold damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn. At 14th level, provided the creature takes damage from one of your weapon attacks, this damage increases to 2d8.

Eternal Waves

At 17th level, your healing is imbued with the persistence of the waves. When you restore hit points to a creature, that creature gains advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes within the next minute.

Emissary of the Dragons

At 2nd level you have formed a close bond with dragon kind, and 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.

In addition, 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 and Change Shape action (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 (a silver dragon wyrmling counts as a dragon with a challenge rating of 3 for this feature).

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 only 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 a damage 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. This form doesn't require food nor water.

Elemental Essence

Damage Type	Breath Weapon
Acid	10 by 90 ft. line (Dex. save)
Cold	60 ft. cone (Con. save)
Fire	60 ft. cone (Dex. save)
Lightning	10 by 90 ft. line (Dex. save)
Poison	60 ft. cone (Con. save)
Thunder	60 ft. cone (Con. save)

Amphibious. The druidic dragon can breathe air and water. Environmental Camouflage. While the druidic dragon remains motionless with its limbs and appendages tucked close to its body, it resembles a natural formation. A creature within 30 feet of it can discern its true nature with a successful Intelligence (Nature) check against your druid spell save DC.

Empowered Attacks. The druidic dragon’s attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Siege Monster. The druidic dragon deals double damage to objects and structures.

Actions

Multiattack. The druidic dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.

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 damage type, against your druid spell save DC. A creature takes 35 (10d6) damage of your chosen elemental essence damage 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.

Restriction: Lizardfolk Only

Only lizardfolk can choose this druid circle, though your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign. These pragmatic lizardfolk druids are able to summon and turn into the powerful beasts whom their ancestors lived among, and lizardfolk tribes guard the secrets of this art with their lives.

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. In combat, the dinosaur shares
your initiative count, but it takes its turn
immediately after yours. It can
move and use its reaction on
its own, but the only action it
takes is the Dodge action,
unless you take a bonus action on your turn to
command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. 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 start a short or long rest. After you summon your Nature's Ally, you cannot summon a Nature's Ally again until you finish a short or long rest.

Your Nature's Ally is friendly to you and your companions, understands you, and obeys your commands.

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 out to 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.

If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the spinosaurus’ Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Siege Attacker. The spinosaurus deals double damage to objects and structures.

Tamed. The spinosaurus will never willingly attack any lizardfolk. If forced or magically compelled to do so, it has disadvantage on its attack rolls. Up to sixteen Med-ium or four Large creatures can ride the spinosaurus.

Actions

Multiattack. The spinosaurus makes two attacks with its claws, and one with its bite. If both claws hit the same target, it can make an additional bite attack against it.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 34 (4d12 + 8) piercing damage, and if the target is a Huge or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 20). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the spinosaurus can't bite another target.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (4d10 + 8) slashing damage.

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, and you regain all expended uses 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, whenever you make a Charisma check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).

In addition, 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. 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, provided the attack roll doesn't have disadvantage, and it adds your proficiency bonus 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.

Inspiring Bulwark

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.

Potion Master

When you select this martial archetype at 3rd level, you can 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 subclass are temporary potions, and function differently from regular potions. Creatures can only be under the effect of one lesser potion at a time. Con-suming a lesser potion with a duration longer than instan-taneous immediately ends any current lesser potion effect (except for the Quartermaster feature's lesser potion effect). These lesser potions lose their potency 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 Supply Specialist Spell Scrolls table. Each time you level up you can exchange one known spell for a different one you could learn at that level.

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:

Those who use your scrolls can use these values or their own spellcasting ability modifier and proficiency bonus.

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.

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 Healing Potion.
(duration, instantaneous)
When consumed, this potion soothes the weary adventurer. They regain hit points equal to 1d6 + your fighter level.
Improved Potion: hit points regained increases to 2d6 + your fighter level.

Lesser Heightening Potion.
Prerequisite: 7th-level (duration, 1 minute)
When this potion is consumed, the adventurer's abilities become heightened. They gain advantage on your choice of Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma checks and saving throws for the duration.
Improved Potion: Effect duration increases to 1 hour.

Lesser Limbering Potion.
(duration, 1 hour)
When consumed, this potion enhances the muscles of the adventurer. Their speed is increased by 10 feet.

When consumed, this potion wards the adventurer's body. They gain resistance to acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage for the duration (your choice).
Improved Potion: Effect duration increases to 1 hour.

Variant: Stability over Agility

Some monks favor stability over agility. To reflect this, you can choose this variant when creating your character. When 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

Beginning 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 an amount equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Strength modifier (minimum of 1).

When you make an opportunity attack, you can replace the melee attack with a grapple check.

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

Totem of Dragon Strength

At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill. If you have proficiency in this skill from another source, then your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses Athletics.

As an action, you can touch any blunt object larger than 1 cubic foot and smaller than yourself and imbue it with your ki. After imbuing it so, the object acquires artistic marks showing prayers to the dragon turtle. It is now your Totem of Dragon Strength and counts as a monk weapon for you for which you have proficiency. Your totem gains the weapon traits from the Totem of Dragon Strength table. Attack and damage rolls using your totem must be done with your Strength Modifier. Your totem is weightless for you, and sticks to your hand if you want it to. Your totem gains the magical attributes of one magic melee monk weapon that you are attuned to, unless it already is a magical weapon. You decide which weapon after finishing a short or long rest. You can only have a single totem at a time, and ending the link with the object is instantaneous.

While holding your totem, you can't be disarmed of it, and you gain advantage on all saving throws instead of only Dexterity when you take the Dodge action.

Snap Dragon

At 6th level, you can react with clasping strength on your foes. Once per round, when a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can make a grapple check against them.

In addition, immediately after you have successfully grappled a creature, or as a bonus action on your turn, you can throw a creature you are grappling. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your ki save DC. On a failure, you can throw the creature up to 15 feet in a direction of your choice after which it takes damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die, it has its speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn, and it is knocked prone. Any extra damage the creature takes from colliding with an environmental hazard (for example a pit, trap, or weapon's rack) is doubled. On a successful save, the creature resists your attempt but remains grappled by you. You can use this feature to (try to) throw a creature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have no uses available, you can spend 1 ki point to use this feature again.

Ki of the Tidebringer

At 11th level, provided your totem is at least half your size or larger, you gain half cover while holding your Totem of Dragon Strength.

As a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point and roll a Martial Arts die. You regain a number of hit points equal to the number rolled plus your proficiency bonus.

Whenever you spend any ki points, you build up energy in your body which you can unleash as a blast of steam. Until the end of your next turn, the first time you hit a creature with an unarmed strike you can choose to roll two Martial Arts dice and deal fire damage equal the amount rolled to each creature other than you within 10 feet of the target, blasting them all with boiling hot steam. You can only unleash steam this way once per round.

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 spend 10 ki points to manifest the dragon turtle, creating a huge translucent form of a dragon turtle around you. If you do, then for 1 minute you gain the game statistics of the dragon turtle spirit (see page 42).

Your game statistics aside from your mental ability scores are replaced by the statistics of the dragon turtle spirit, but 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 dragon turtle form, you can't wield weapons, nor can you use your other class features. If you have spells, you can't cast them while in this form, but you can maintain concentration on existing spells. If there isn't enough room for this form in a space available, then this form instead attains the maximum possible size.

Variant: A Keen Mind

Some Weavers focus more on using their keen intellect to understand the machinations of the Weave, as they seek to let their mind and body truly become one with it. To reflect this, you can choose this variant when creating your character. When using this variant, all mentions of your character's Wisdom score or modifier in the monk class and in this subclass are replaced with Intelligence.

Spellcasting

Starting at 3rd level you form a connection to the Weave, allowing you to shape it in order to cast spells.

Cantrips. You learn the friends and mage hand cantrips. If you already know either cantrip from another source, you can choose a different wizard cantrip instead. You learn an extra wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Special. When you cast the mage hand cantrip it doesn't require verbal components, and the hand is invisible. When you cast the friends cantrip it doesn't require material components.

Spell Slots. The Way of the Weave Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell feather fall and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast feather fall using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice; two of which you must choose from the divination, enchantment, and transmutation spells on the wizard spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Way of the Weave Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st-level or higher. Each of these spells must be a divination, enchantment, or transmutation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a divination, enchantment, or transmutation spell, unless you are replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level. At 17th and 18th level you can replace a known spell with a 4th-level spell, despite not having 4th-level spell slots.

You can learn the following spells as if they were enchant-ment spells from the wizard spell list; bless, gift of alacrity, guiding bolt, heroism, shield, shield of faith, witch bolt (for thematic purposes it is recommended to use the revised witch bolt spell on page 75), counterspell, dispel magic, nondetection, pulse wave, sending, and gravity sinkhole.

Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learned your spells through deep meditation on the aspects of the Weave. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you can cast and when making an attack roll with one.

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), Tiamat (god of chromatic dragons), or a different dragon god as their Sovereign.

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 oath, you must choose a dragon from the Draconic Oath table, which must be the same dragon type as that of your dragon sovereign. If you choose Bahamut as your sovereign you can choose any metallic dragon, if you choose Tiamat as your sovereign you can choose any chromatic dragon, and if you choose Asgorath (or another dragon god) as your sovereign you can choose any dragon. Steel dragons are a type of metallic dragon, sapphire dragons are a type of gem dragon, and celestial dragons are their own subspecies of dragon. For game purposes, steel and gem dragons count as metallic dragons, and celestial dragons count as chromatic dragons.

Optional: Class Features

The ranger class received more options in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, including the Favored Foe and Deft Explorer features. This revision is meant to improve upon these two features, as well as several other ranger features, and it also adds additional features for several ranger subclasses. It is still recommended to use Tasha's Cauldron of everything for the Primal Awareness and Nature's Veil feature options, which can both be found there on page 57.

Deft Explorer (revised)

At 1st level, a ranger gains the Deft Explorer feature.

Deft Explorer

1st-level ranger feature, which replaces the Natural Explorer feature
Your time in the Wild has honed your skills, and you have acquired abilities that help you adapt and survive, and sometimes even imbue you with supernatural benefits.

You gain one of the options below that you can learn of your choice. You gain an additional option that you can learn of your choice at 3rd level, 6th level, 9th level, 12th level, 15th level, and 18th level. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the options you know and replace it with another option that you could learn at that level.

---

Ambidextrous
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can make the off-hand attack as part of the Attack action, instead of as a bonus action. You can only make one off-hand attack for each time you take the Attack action. You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one handed melee weapons you are wielding aren’t light. In addition, you can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one. As part of the same object interaction you use to draw your weapon(s), you can stow and doff any weapons and shields you are wielding.

---

Special: If you possess both the Dual Wielder feat and this option, you gain a +2 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand instead of +1.

---

Canny
Choose one of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses the chosen skill. You can speak, read, and write two additional languages of your choice. You can choose this option multiple times.

---

Deadly Marksman
Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover. In addition, before you make an attack with a ranged weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -2 penalty to the attack roll. If that attack hits, you add +5 to the attack's damage.

---

Special: If you possess both the Sharpshooter feat and this option, you cannot stack the attack roll penalty and damage bonus of both options together. However, the attack roll penalty you suffer when you take the Sharpshooter option is decreased to -4 when you add +10 to the attack's damage.

---

Hardy Survivor
Your body recovers quickly, and you are able to fully sustain yourself and others. Whenever you regain more than 1 hit point, you regain additional hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. When expending Hit Dice, you can add this bonus to each Hit Die roll. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five creatures each day, provided that the land offers these resources.

---

Heavy Slayer
You gain Great Weapon Fighting as a Fighting Style (Player's Handbook page 72), and heavy armor proficiency. If you would have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks due to the armor you wear, you ignore that penalty.

---

Horde Cleaver
Creatures don't gain advantage against you from having another hostile creature within 5 feet of you. Once on each of your turns when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon, or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can immediately make one melee weapon attack against another creature within your reach with that weapon.

Hunter's Prey

3rd-level ranger feature, requires the Hunter archetype
You gain one of the following features of your choice.

Colossus Slayer. Your tenacity can wear down the most potent foes. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can increase the attack's damage by 1d8 if it’s below its hit point maximum. You can deal this extra damage only once per turn.

Giant Killer. When a Large or larger creature within 5 feet of you hits or misses you or an ally with an attack, you can use your reaction to make a weapon attack against that creature immediately after its attack, provided you can see the creature.

Horde Breaker. Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature within 10 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.

Hunter's Vigil

3rd-level ranger feature, requires the Hunter archetype
You learn the hunter's mark spell, it doesn't count against your number of spells known, and taking damage will not break your concentration on it. You can cast this spell once without expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so after finishing a long rest. Creatures that are affected by your hunter's mark spell can receive the extra damage from your Favored Foe feature, despite the feature's rules.

Ranger Magic

3rd-level ranger feature
You learn additional spells associated with your ranger archetype when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Ranger Magic tables. Each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Beast Master Ranger Magic

Drake Warden Ranger Magic

Hunter Ranger Magic

Feral Senses

18th-level ranger feature
Starting at 18th level, your enhanced senses allow you to strike with perfect accuracy. Your attack rolls against creatures within 30 feet of you cannot have disadvantage.

You are also aware of the location of any invisible or hidden creature within 30 feet of you.

Foe Slayer

20th-level ranger feature
At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter of your enemies. You add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) to attack rolls you make against creatures marked as your favored foe (or who count as being marked as your favored foe), and you add your Favored Foe's bonus damage each time you hit a creature marked as your favored foe, instead of just the first time you hit the target on each of your turns.

Fanatic Devotion

Beginning at 3rd level, you regain all uses of your Favored Foe class feature when you finish a short or long rest.

Unrelenting

At 3rd level you add your Favored Foe's bonus damage each time you hit a creature marked as your favored foe (or who counts as being marked as your favored foe), instead of just to the first time you hit the target on each of your turns.

If a creature marked as your favored foe hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll your Favored Foe damage die and gain a bonus to your AC equal to the number rolled, potentially causing the attack to miss you.

At 20th level, you add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) to damage rolls you make against creatures marked as your favored foe.

Grim Slayer Magic

You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Grim Slayer Spells table. Each spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Unstoppable

At 7th level, slaying your favored foes reinvigorates you. When you reduce a target marked as your favored foe to 0 hit points, you regain hit points equal to one roll of your Favored Foe damage die + your proficiency bonus.

Resolve of the Slayer

At 11th level, you become too stubborn to die. If you drop to 0 hit points and you don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a long rest, it resets to 10.

Rip and Tear

At 15th level, you become the ultimate slayer. When one of your attacks reduces a creature's hit points to a number less than your ranger level, you instantly reduce it to 0 hit points.

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 feature getting overlooked in combat, we suggest checking in with them at the start of the session to make sure that they are aware of it.

Ranger's Companion

At 3rd level, you can form a bond with a beast companion that will then accompany you on your adventures and fight alongside you. As an action you can choose a beast that you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you can charm it, and it has a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower. Over the course of 1 minute it becomes charmed by you while you attempt to bond with it. During this time you and the beast will be incapacitated, and any damage either of you receive will end the effect, forcing you to start over again. If the beast takes damage from you or your allies, then it cannot be charmed this way for the next 24 hours. You cannot charm a swarm of beasts this way.

After 1 minute, provided the process was not interrupted, it becomes your loyal beast companion, and you cannot charm a beast this way again until you've finished a short or long rest. If you already have a beast companion with you, you must choose which of your companions will be send to your beast grove. The beast grove is a sacred place which the natural world has prepared for you, where your beast companions will remain until summoned, and where they will find shelter and sustenance. The only requirement to maintain this grove if that you keep fighting for the interests of the natural world. You can use your action to send your beast companion there, or summon it from there into an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. You can only have one beast companion accompanying you. At the end of a short or long rest, you can exchange your current beast companion with one of your other beast companions.

Add your proficiency bonus to your beast companion's attack and damage rolls, as well as to any ability check or saving throw that it makes. If one of its attacks or special attacks forces a saving throw, it can use its normal DC or your spell save DC, whichever is higher. If one of its special traits would require a bonus action, it can use its own. Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or 4 + four times your ranger level, whichever is higher. You can calculate your beast's AC as 13 + your proficiency bonus.

In combat, the beast shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incap-acitated, it can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

Your beast companion understands any languages you know, is friendly to you and your companions, and obeys your commands. If your beast has died, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level
or higher. It returns to life after 1 minute with all
its hit points restored. You can also fully heal your
beast this way while it is alive and you are both
out of combat, but entering combat during
this minute will waste the spell slot. Your
beast has a number of Hit Dice (d8s) equal
to your ranger level. Like any creature, your
beast can spend Hit Dice during a short rest.

Whenever your beast companion becomes stabilized it immediately regains 1 hit point.

If your beast can grapple or knock prone a creature, it can only do so against Large or smaller creatures.

At your DM's discretion, you can start with a warhound as your beast companion. If so, you can decide which trait it has from the warhound's Variant traits.

Exceptional Training

At 7th level, each of your current and future beast compan-ions gains one of the following traits of your choice, which stack with the benefits of the Ranger's Companion feature:

Robust. The beast gains a +1 bonus to its hit rolls, damage rolls, Strength checks, and Strength saving throws. The DC (if any) of its traits and attacks increases by 1.

Sturdy. The beast's hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to twice your ranger level.

Clever. The beast gains advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma checks and saving throws.

Stubborn. At the start of each of the beast's turns, it regains hit points equal to your proficiency bonus if it has no more than half of its hit points left. It doesn't gain this benefit if it has 0 hit points. It also gains advantage on death saving throws.

Aggressive. As a bonus action, the beast can move up to its speed toward a hostile creature it can see or hear. It must end this move closer to the enemy than it started.

Protective. As a reaction, the beast can impose disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within 5 feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the beast.

Good Temperament. Friendly creatures within 30 feet of the beast gain a +1 bonus to Charisma ability checks.

Beloved Companion. Friendly creatures within 30 feet of the beast gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws.

These traits do not stack with the warhound's Variant traits. At 15th level, each of your current and future beast compan-ions gains one more trait of your choice from this feature.

In addition, your beast’s attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Bestial Fury

At 11th level, when you command your beast companion to attack by taking an action from its stat block, it can make one additional attack with one of its weapons.

Share Spells

Beginning at 15th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect your beast companion with the spell if the beast is within 30 feet of you.

Assassinate

At 3rd level, you are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, any hit you score in the first round of the combat against a creature that is or was surprised that round is a critical hit. When you use a garrote, the initial attack will also deal the listed damage and can critically hit, but you can only add your Sneak Attack dice once per round.

Tools of the Trade

Also at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit, heavy crossbows, and scimitars. In addition, you gain the Poisoner feat (page 25) as a bonus feat. When you use a disguise kit, you can imbue the disguise with magic to also change unusual appearances like a tail or even a snake like body, to the desired appearance and vice versa. You can carry and conceal disguise kits and poisoner's kits on you.

Infiltration Expertise

Starting at 9th level, you can unfailingly create false identities for yourself. You must spend 3 days and 25 gp to establish the history, profession, and affiliations for an identity. You can't establish an identity that belongs to someone else. For example, you might acquire appropriate clothing, letters of introduction, and official- looking certification to establish yourself as a member of a trading house from a remote city so you can insinuate yourself into the company of other wealthy merchants. Thereafter, if you adopt the new identity as a disguise, other creatures believe you to be that person until given an obvious reason not to.

In addition, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Imposter

At 13th level, you can unerringly mimic another person's speech, writing, and behavior. You must spend at least 1 minute studying these three components of the person's behavior, listening to speech, examining handwriting, and observing mannerisms. Your ruses and disguises are indiscernible to the casual observer. If a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.

As an action, you can quickly change your appearance with a disguise kit you have on hand. You can do so a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Death Strike

Starting at 17th level, you become a master of instant death. When you successfully attack and score a critical hit against a creature, it must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, double the damage of your attack against the creature. A creature that isn't or wasn't surprised that round gains a +5 bonus to this saving throw. You can only make a Death Strike once per round.

When you force a creature to make a saving throw against a poison you used against it, you can change the value of the poison's DC to that of your Death Strike.

Garrote (Simple Weapon)

Special: A garrote has disadvantage on attack rolls, unless the target is or was surprised that round. A Large or smaller creature hit by a garrote is grappled, and while being grappled this way it is muted (it can't speak or use verbal components) and has its current hit points reduced by 2d6 at the start of its turn (you can't add your ability modifier to this amount). You can add dice equal to your Sneak Attack dice (if any) to this damage roll. The target cannot regain hit points while being grappled this way. A creature that does not need to breathe will not have their hit points reduced. You can use Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) instead of Strength (Athletics) when grappling a creature this way. If a creature breaks free of the grapple before being reduced to 0 hit points, they regain half the hit points they lost this way. You must use your action on your next turns to maintain this grapple (no ability check required), or the grapple ends.

The garrote uses its own rules for choking creatures, as opposed to the rules in the Player's Handbook (page 183).

Storm Conduit

Starting 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 end 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 teleportation or standard movement), and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.

Stormscale Agent

At 9th level, as a bonus action, you can flare your draconic blood to sense any magic around you. For the next minute you can detect the presence and location of any magic present within 30 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 in the area. If you sense magic this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any creature or object in the area (visible or not) that bears magic. This aura lasts for 1 minute, even outside the area. 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.

Cloudburst

Beginning 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 (rounded down). 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
(rounded down).

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.

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, you can calculate your AC as 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Elemental Affinity

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 learn the absorb elements spell, which doesn't count against your number of sorcerer spells known. You can also use it against force, necrotic, poison, psychic, and radiant damage. 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 to this damage type when casting it this way, then you cast it at a spell level that is equal to your proficiency bonus.

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 sorcerous origin

---

When you cast the primal savagery cantrip, 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 cantrip, you can make an additional attack with it as a bonus action.

Elemental Ancestry

Prerequisite: Draconic Bloodline sorcerous origin

---

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.

Enlightened Spell

---

When you cast a 1st level or higher spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it at a spell level that is one level higher. You can't cast it at a spell level that is higher than 9.

Frightful Spell

Prerequisite: Draconic Bloodline sorcerous origin

---

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 will gain the game statistics listed in this work instead of those in the Monster Manual, provided you are a sorcerer or wizard.

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. Your pseudodragon will however not allow you to "milk" it, and if you slay it you can never bond with another pseudodragon again.

Faerie Dragon (variant)

Optionally, a DM can allow sorcerer and wizard players to bond with a faerie dragon instead of a pseudodragon.

The faerie dragon is a close relative of the pseudodragon, however they are especially mischievous, and often refered to as the pranksters of the wild. Like true dragons, faerie dragons grow stronger with age, but they mature much more quickly and live shorter lives. Because their predominant scale hue runs the colors of the rainbow over their lifetime, their color is a direct indicator of their age and power. However, faerie dragons who bond with wizards or sorcerers age more rapidly, while extending their overall lifespan. Your faerie dragon follows the same rules as a pseudodragon, and shares its stat block. However, it loses its Sting action and gains the following features:

Superior Invisibility. As a bonus action, the dragon
can magically turn invisible until its concentration
ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment
the dragon wears or carries is invisible with it.

Innate Spellcasting. Innate Spellcasting. The
dragon’s spell save DC is equal to your own.
It can innately cast a number of spells,
requiring no material components. As you
gain levels the dragon ages and changes color,
and gains additional spells as shown below.

Level 3: Red, dancing lights, mage hand,
     minor illusion

Level 4: Orange, 1/day: color spray

Level 5: Yellow, 1/day: mirror image

Level 6: Green, 1/day: suggestion

Level 7: Blue, 1/day: major image

Level 8: Indigo, 1/day: hallucinatory terrain

Level 9: Violet, 1/day: polymorph

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach
5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage.

Euphoria Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon
exhales a puff of euphoria gas at one creature
within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw against your spell save
DC -3, or for 1 minute, the target can’t take reactions
and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns
to determine its behavior during the turn:

1–4. The target takes no action or bonus action and
uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.

5–6. The target doesn’t move, and the only thing it can do on its turn is make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC -3, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Items

Sorcerous Cleaver

Weapon (battleaxe), rare (requires attunement by a sorcerer)

---

When making an attack roll with a spell, you can engulf the weapon with the spell's energy type and swing it into melee, or throw it towards your foes after which it instantly returns to your hand due to the spell's magic. You can also use a bonus action to summon it to your hand, if it is on the same plane of existence. You can use it as a spellcasting focus.

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic battleaxe. You are considered proficient with it even if you lack proficiency with battleaxes.

This battleaxe grants a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls. When you hit a creature with a spell that requires an attack roll, the target takes an extra 1d8 slashing damage.

NOTE: Although it is thematic, dragonborn and half dragon Draconic Bloodline players do not have to pick the same Dragon Ancestor as their racial Draconic Ancestry. This revision adds an additional benefit for players that do go that route, as they already have the dragon's resistance. But it is perfectly reasonable for a half dragon or dragonborn sorcerer to draw their power from one of their other dragon ancestors, granting them a mix of draconic traits from both bloodlines.

An example of this is the half black dragon sorceress below, whose magical might comes from her gold dragon ancestor, granting her a unique appearance.

Sorcerous Hammer: This weapon is a variant of the Sorcerous Cleaver, and a favorite of half red dragon Storm Sorcerers. It is a warhammer instead of a battleaxe, and deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage instead.

Optional Sorcerer Features

At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the following features.

Wild Magic Origin Spells

Sorcerer level	Spells
1st	chaos bolt, tasha's hideous laughter
3rd	crown of madness, misty step
5th	blink, enemies abound
7th	confusion, polymorph
9th	animate objects, synaptic static

---

Wild Magic, variant: At 6th level, when you cast any of the spells learned from your Origin Spells feature, you can cast it by expending a spell slot as normal or by spending a num-ber of sorcery points equal to the spell’s level. Once per turn when you spend sorcery points, you can reduce the cost of the effect by 1 sorcery point, but the DM can have you                                 immediately roll on the Wild Magic                                                            Surge table.

Variant Half Red Dragon: Some half red dragons are blessed by the storms, and can exchange their +2 Strength and +1 Constitution ability score increase with a +2 Charisma and +1 Strength increase instead.

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 its game statistics in the Dragon Student stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You must choose your dragon student's dragon type from the Dragon Student table.

In combat, your dragon shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take an action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. It can use its action to cast or use a spell. If a spell requires a reaction or a bonus action, you must use yours to allow your dragon to cast the

spell. If you are incapacitated, your dragon can take any action of its choice, except casting spells. If your dragon has died, you can use your action to touch it and expend a 1st level or higher spell slot. It returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. You can also fully heal your dragon this way while it's alive and you are both out of com-bat, but entering combat during this minute will waste the spell slot. Whenever your dragon becomes stabilized it immediately regains 1 hit point. Your dragon regains all its hit points after finishing a short or long rest. Each type of dragon has a unique trait as described in the Dragon Com-panion section. When you damage a creature yourself, you can expend one use of your dragon's Elemental Bite to gain one of its benefits yourself. You can do so a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0).

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.

Mystic Arcanum: True Polymorph

If you choose the true polymorph spell as your Mystic Arcanum at 17th level, provided the Dragon Student is your patron, then when you cast this spell on your dragon it will willingly transform into a dragon of the same type with a CR equal to or lower than your level. It cannot change into a different creature this way. While your dragon is transformed this way, you no longer need to use your bonus action to issue a command to your dragon. You must still use your action to command your dragon to cast or use a spell. If you have the Dragon Rider invocation, you can use your bonus action to command your dragon to cast a cantrip that way, and it can still use one more action.

Black Dragon (chaotic evil)

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 (+1 plus PB in its stat block).

Blue Dragon (lawful evil)

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 Hide action, it can burrow itself just below the surface into non-rock earth, after which 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 interact with the surface while burrowed, nor can it 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 (chaotic good)

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 speak with animals spell at will. When you learn the comprehend languages spell, your dragon can cast it as a ritual. Additionally, you and your dragon gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill (+2 plus PB in its stat block).

When you use your action or bonus action to command your brass dragon to take the Hide action, it can burrow itself just below the surface into non-rock earth, after which 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 interact with the surface while burrowed, nor can it 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 (lawful good)

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 favorite 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 you also gain while you ride it. The detect thoughts, create food and water, tidal wave, water breathing, water walk, control water, maelstrom and tsunami spells count as warlock spells for you, and if cast by your dragon while they affect one or more creatures that you can see, you can choose which of those creatures are affected by these spells. When you learn the water breathing spell, your dragon can cast it as a ritual.

Copper Dragon (chaotic good)

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 (lawful good)

A gold dragon wyrmling makes an excellent candidate for a dragon student, as the wyrmling's parents will often send it off to be fostered by another family, to help it learn about the world, and a Dragon Master is a decent alternative. Like adult gold dragons it seeks to fight evil in a cunning way. Note that your wyrmling lacks the tentacle whiskers and horns that distinguish older gold dragons. 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 (+1 plus PB in its stat block). The bless, slow, globe of invulnerability, delayed blast fireball, maze, and sunburst spells count as warlock spells for you.

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 early hindrance of its draconic flight is a sensitive topic, and that it chooses not to complain on its own accord because it doesn't want you to think of it as a burden, as it truly desires to help you in any way it can.

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 are solid ground. The gust of wind, ice storm, reverse gravity and whirlwind spells count as warlock spells for you, and if cast by your dragon while they affect one or more creatures that you can see, you can choose which of those creatures are affected by these spells.

White Dragon (chaotic evil)

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 swim 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 (+1 plus PB in its stat block).

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 its lost 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 eldritch blast cantrip this way, each creature that suffers damage takes additional damage of the same type equal to your Charisma modifier (mini-mum of 1) times the number of d10's of this breath weapon.

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 magic 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 and swimming 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 as long as it is on the same plane of existence as you.

Once on each of your turns, when you hit a creature with this weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 damage of the type associated with your dragon student. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Advanced Dragon Magic

Prerequisite: 7th-level, Pact of the Dragon feature.

Your dragon's bite deals additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) of the type associated with your dragon student. 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 can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to this amount.

Dragon Rider

Prerequisite: 7th-level, Pact of the Dragon feature.

When you take the Attack action on your turn to make a melee weapon attack (or the Ready action to prepare a melee weapon attack) while riding your dragon, you can now use your bonus action to command your dragon to cast a cantrip spell. 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.

Gifted Student

Prerequisite: 7th-level, Pact of the Dragon feature.

The number of temporary hit points that your dragon receives through the Pact of the Dragon feature increases by 3. When your dragon receives these temporary hit points, you can give them to another creature you can see (including yourself) within 60 feet of your dragon instead. Afterwards, that creature cannot receive temporary hit points this way again until it finishes a short or long rest.

When your dragon regains hit points while in combat, you can choose to regain these hit points yourself instead, provided you are within 60 feet of your dragon.

Elemental Fury

Prerequisite: 12th-level, Pact of the Dragon feature.

All damage that you and your dragon deal ignores 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 use your bonus action to deal maximum damage with that spell if your dragon is within 30 feet of you. When you use this feature, you can choose any number of creatures that you can see. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell and take no damage from the spell.

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.

Prerequisites

Only half dragons can take the altered Dracolich Brew and survive to become dracolich initiates, after which they receive the changes described below. If you choose this half dragon variant, you must choose the wizard class at 1st level, and you must choose the School of Necromancy arcane tradition at 2nd level. You cannot multiclass into another class once you've chosen this variant.

Dracolich Initiate variant

You can choose this variant upon character creation, and it can be applied to any half dragon subrace. You can ascend to dragonhood like any half dragon can, but when you ascend you become a dragon of your chosen racial dragon type with the Dracolich template (Monster Manual page 83), which does not affect the maximum CR of your True Dragon Form. At 13th level, you transform into a lich as described in the Grim Hollow Campaign Guide (page 46), without having to meet the Prerequisites. Because of your rigorous studies towards achieving lichdom, you do not need to complete the Ritual of Dread.

When choosing this variant, you gain the following changes to the racial traits of your half dragon subrace:

• You lose your Ability Score Increase trait, and instead your Intelligence score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.
• Your Draconic Ancestry trait remains the same.
• You gain the Dracolich Initiate trait, but you lose your half dragon subrace's unique trait, or if you are a draco-taur your base walking speed is reduced to 30 feet.

School of Necromancy, Revised

Inured to Undeath

At 10th level, you have resistance to necrotic damage, and your hit point maximum can't be reduced. You have spent so much time dealing with undead and those that create them that you've become inured to some of their worst effects.

Mob of Zombies

Large mob of medium undead, neutral evil

---

• Armor Class 8
• Hit Points 102 (12d10 + 36) + four times your wizard level
• Speed 20 ft.

Greater Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the mob of zombies to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to the damage taken. On a success, the mob of zombies drops to 1 hit point instead.
Mob. The mob of zombies can move through any opening large enough for a Medium creature. The mob of zombies has advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, and disadvantage on Dexterity checks and Saving throws.

---

Actions

Multiattack. The mob of zombies makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: + PB to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d6 plus PB bludgeoning damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 11). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The mob of zombies can only grapple up to two creatures at a time.

— Doran Stout, wyrm wizard

Wyrm wizards are spellcasters who learn new spells by tapping into the vast wealth of arcane knowledge possessed by dragons. Like many other wizards, wyrm wizards spend a great deal of time perfecting their spellcasting techniques, though most of their spells are based on the teachings of friendly dragons. A wyrm wizard and their dragon mentor might spend weeks or months in seclusion, discussing the finer points of spell manipulation or exploring new concepts. Unlike many others who interact with dragons, wyrm wizards also act as comrades to spellcasting dragons, providing insight into magic that the creature might not otherwise possess. Furthermore, thanks to your advanced understanding of magic gleaned from many hours with dragon mentors, you have an uncanny knack for unraveling spells cast by others. Walking this path means that you will have to endure slander by other wizards, as there are some that question your methods of turning to dragons for aid in your arcane studies, or even call you a slave to dragon kind. But you know better, as your ability to make amazing discoveries in conjunction with your dragon allies has given you great confidence to see beyond the accepted rules of magic. Above all, you believe that dragons hold the key to new knowledge and advancement of magical abilities, and that your best course of action is to befriend these majestic creatures and learn new ways to practice magic from them.

Inverse Dragon Slave

At 14th level, you have completed your training under your dragon mentors. You have defied the slander that you were a slave of dragons, and instead have formed a strong bond with dragon kind. With their tutelage you have learned new ways to utilize your magical talent, walking in the footsteps of legendary figures like Lina Inverse the Slayer. When you cast a cantrip that has a casting time of 1 action, you can cast it with 1 bonus action instead. If you do, you can still cast non-cantrip spells with your action during the current turn. Any cantrip cast in this way, or attack made while casting that cantrip or as part of that cantrip's effects, deals half damage and cannot grant you resistance to damage.

Half Dragon Brood

You were raised amongst a subrace of half dragons, leading you to know many things about their unique culture. You pick a color of half dragon you grew up amongst from the chart below. The type of half dragon you were raised among determines your skill and tool proficiencies, as well as the language(s) you can speak. If you would gain the same proficiency (skill or tool) or language from a different source, you can choose a different proficiency of the same kind (skill or tool) or different language instead. You receive the same equipment regardless of choice.

Equipment: A tool that you are proficient in (if any), a set of fine clothes (as those raised by half dragons tend to be vain in the same way dragons are), and a pouch with 20 gold.

Suggested Characteristics

The coloration of your half dragon community shapes a large part of your life; as those living there often have characteristics that reflect the temperament of the dragon ancestors tied to that coloration. The characteristics in the tables below however are fitting for all half dragon broods.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I face dangerous situations with a cheerful smile as if it's a challenge.
2	Nothing can shake my greed for treasure.
3	I expect everyone to fear or respect me.
4	I go out of my way to help an innocent in need.
5	My age allows me to see humor in almost every situation. (Half Dragon)
6	I can’t stop talking and expect everyone to listen to me.
7	I can’t shake a desire to fight anyone encroaching on what I believe to be mine.
8	My pride won’t let me back down from a challenge.

d6	Ideal
1	Greed. Coins and shiny baubles are all I care about. (Evil)
2	Tradition. I am a vault of stories, and they must be preserved for future generations to learn from. (Lawful)
3	Power. I will become as powerful as I can possibly be, and use that power as I see fit. (Any)
4	Freedom. To fly is to be free, and I’ll do anything to be able to take flight. With wings or otherwise. (Chaotic)
5	Aspiration. Someday I'll be able to ascend to dragon-hood, and become a full dragon. (Neutral, Half Dragon)
6	Duty. It is my duty to continue to protect those I care for, as well as any innocents who need my help. (Good)

d6	Bond
1	I owe a great debt to my family and village, who have always supported me.
2	Territory was stolen from me or my people, and I'll do anything to get it back.
3	Those who gain my trust have a friend for life.
4	Those who dare insult me or belittle dragon kind will rue the day they incurred my wrath!
5	A valuable possession was stolen from me and it will be mine again.
6	I will protect my people, and those I care about.

Dragon Hatchlings as Sidekicks

You can use the statistics for dragon hatchlings below for your dragon hatchling sidekicks, whose CR of 1/2 meets the requirement for the sidekick rules from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (page 142). In addition, the dragon hatchling's Charisma score increases by 2, and its Intelligence score will become 10 if it is lower than that. If you choose Spellcaster as your dragon hatchling's sidekick class, it can use Charisma as its spellcasting ability for all its spells, regardless of its Spellcaster role. Like other side-kicks, it retains its skill (Perception and Stealth) and saving throw (Dexterity and Charisma) proficiencies from its game statistics. As the dragon levels up, it gains additional benefits that it retains when it becomes a wyrmling:

Playing as a Full Blooded Dragon

Sometimes dragon hatchlings show signs of greatness even right after they are hatched. They could simply learn faster than others from the moment they were born, or they were reincarnated from a previous life with all their memories intact. Regardless of the reason, these dragons follow the path of adventuring, making them among the most unique of adventurers. Players that want to play as a full blooded dragon can play a dragon hatchling sidekick, by using the associated game rules listed in Dragon Hatchlings as Sidekicks. They also gain the following additional benefits:

• Two of your ability scores aside from Charisma (your choice) increase by 2. This boon transfers to your dragon wyrmling form once you've reached the appropriate side-kick level. Increasing an ability modifier by 1 will increase its associated saving throw bonus by 1. Increasing your Strength modifier by 1 will increase your bite's hit and damage rolls by 1. Increasing your Dexterity modifier by 1 will increase your AC by 1. Increasing your Constitution modifier by 1 will increase your hit point maximum by an amount equal to your total number of Hit Dice (including those of your base game statistics, so 3 for a hatchling), and also increase your breath weapon's DC by 1.
• You do not gain a background, but you can speak, read, and write common as an additional language.
• If you have chosen Spellcaster as your sidekick class, you can also choose spells from the sorcerer spell list.
• After becoming a wyrmling, you can make a single Dragonfriend's Armor (page 87) out of your scales within one week, instead of the month it usually takes.

Similar to normal sidekicks, you cannot multiclass into another class. Take note that not every dragon wyrmling is as strong as the other, and as such some will end up gaining more benefits than others. However, the offset is that they'll take much longer to turn from hatchlings into wyrmlings.

Like normal hatchling sidekicks, when you become a wyrmling you can calculate your new hit points in the following way; take the listed hit points of your new dragon wyrmling game statistics, subtract the listed hit points of your dragon hatchling game statistics (13 or 16) from them, and add the result to your hit point maximum. Then add all your ability score increases to your wyrmling game statistics. Then you roll a Hit Die (now d8), add your new Constitution modifier to it, and add the result to your hit point maximum.

Drow High Magic (revised)

Prerequisite: Elf (Drow)

You learn more of the magic typical of dark elves. You learn the detect magic spell and can cast it at will, without expending a spell slot. You also learn levitate and dispel Magic, each of which you can cast once at their lowest level without expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast the spell in this way when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. If you have spell slots of 2nd level or higher, you can cast levitate with them. If you have spell slots of 3rd level or higher, you can cast dispel magic with them. If you have the Drow Spell Resistance racial trait, you also gain advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws against spells.

Retiarius

You are trained in the fighting styles of the Retiarius gladiator. You gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain proficiency with the net if you don't already have it, and the benefits of the sea elves' Net Mastery racial trait (page 78), ignoring the trait's requirements.

Revenant Blade (revised)

Prerequisite: Elf

Your ancestor was a master of the double-blade, and you in-herited some of that mastery, gaining the following benefits:

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• While wielding a double-bladed weapon with two hands, you gain +1 bonus to your AC.
• A double-bladed scimitar has the finesse property when you wield it.
• When you make an attack with a doubled-bladed scimitar, and you make a melee attack with it as a bonus action, that attack's base damage is 2d4, instead of 1d4.

Wood Elf Magic (revised)

Prerequisite: Elf (Wood)

You learn the magic of the primeval woods, which your people revere and protect. You learn one druid cantrip of your choice. You also learn the longstrider and pass without trace spells, each of which you can cast once at their lowest level without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast these two spells in this way when you finish a short or long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for all three spells. If you have spell slots of 1st level or higher, you can cast longstrider with them. If you have spell slots of 2nd level or higher, you can cast pass without trace with them.

Coral Armor

Armor (medium, but not hide), uncommon

This armor is made out of flexible modified coral, and is popular among aquatic druids due to its lack of metal. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, the coral version of the armor doesn't. Magical armors made out of this material have their cost increased by 100 gp instead of increasing their rarity.

Deepchill Crossbow

Weapon (crossbow; hand, light, or heavy), varying rarity (requires attunement)

This magical crossbow is a favorite of sea elf warriors. When you hit a creature with this crossbow, its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn. In addition, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d6 cold damage, and it has disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this weapon based on its rarity.

Mithral Weapon

Weapon (requires a weapon that deals slashing or piercing damage), uncommon

Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A weapon made out of this material gains the finesse property. If the weapon does not have the two-handed property, it gains the light property. Magical weapons made out of this material have their cost increased by 300 gp instead of increasing their rarity. Mithral weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Steel Net

Weapon (net), uncommon

This uncommon item follows the rules of the standard net, except it has a Strength check DC of 15, an AC of 15, and it takes 10 slashing damage to destroy the net.

Valenar Double Scimitar

Weapon (double-bladed scimitar), rare (requires attunement)

The elves of Valenar use this exotic double weapon with curving scimitar blades on each end. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon, and it counts as having the finesse property. The weapon damage dice of this double-bladed scimitar increase by one step (so for example, from 1d4 to 1d6, from 2d4 to 2d6 etc).

Variant rule: Weapon Mastery

If you have proficiency with certain weapons as part of a racial trait, and you also have proficiency with these weapons from another source (such as your class), then you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with these weapons.

Sensitive Eyes

Drow racial trait, replaces the Sunlight Sensitivity trait
While in sunlight, you have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Drow Spell Resistance

Drow racial trait, requires the Sunlight Sensitivity trait

Net Mastery

Sea elf racial trait, requires the Sea Elf Training trait
You gain the following benefits while fighting with nets:

• The range of your net attacks doubles (10/30 ft).
• Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature does not impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls with nets.
• You draw a net as part of the attack you make with it.

You can repair destroyed nets as part of a long rest. If a net (highest DC) on a creature is removed, so are all other nets.

This trait can be chosen as a fighting style for the Fighting Style feature, ignoring the trait's requirements.

Shadowmeld

Wood elf racial trait, replaces the Mask of the Wild trait
You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by shadows, such as under dim light.

Chosen of Eilistraee Origin Spells (page 58)

Training in Song and Dance

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with longswords, and a longsword has the finesse property when you wield it. A longsword counts as a spellcasting focus for you. When not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, your AC becomes 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

You also gain proficiency in the Performance skill.

Moonsong

At 1st level, you can awaken the Moonsong within you, provided that you aren’t wearing any armor or using a shield. You can use a bonus action to start the Moonsong, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapa-citated, if you don armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can also dismiss the Moonsong at any time (no action required). While your Moonsong is active, you gain the following benefits:

• If you have moved at least 15 feet away from where you began the turn, you gain advantage on the next melee weapon attack you make that turn.
• Your movement speed increases by 10 feet, you are unaffected by difficult terrain, and creatures have disadvantage on opportunity attacks against you.
• Divine radiance surrounds your weapon. You gain the benefits of half cover while wielding a melee weapon.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Sword Dancer

At 6th level, when you use your action to cast or use a spell, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

When you make an Acrobatics skill check, you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to the check.

Paragon of Beauty

Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to deal psychic damage to that creature. The damage equals your sorcerer level.

Moonsong Encore

At 18th level, whenever you hit a creature with a melee attack during your Moonsong, you regain 1d8 hit points and deal radiant damage to the target equal to that amount.

Crown of Madness (revised)

2nd-level enchantment

• Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

One humanoid of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration, as a twisted crown of jagged iron appears on its head, and a madness glows in its eyes. The target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell on a success. The target must use its action before moving on each of its turns to make one melee weapon attack against a creature other than itself that you mentally choose. It loses its action if you didn't choose a creature or if it's unable to attack. If you use your bonus action, you can control the target's movement on its next turn, but you can't move it into harmful terrain.

True Strike (revised)

Divination Cantrip

• Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round

You extend your hand and point a finger at a target in range. Your magic grants you a brief insight into its defenses. On your next turn you gain advantage on your first melee attack roll against the target, provided that this spell hasn’t ended.

Witch Bolt (revised)

1st-level evocation

• Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S, M (wood from a tree struck by lightning)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 light-ning damage, and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is restrained until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, it can't be restrained by you this way for 1 minute. After you hit the target, on each of your turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically. If you do, you can use your bonus action to force it to make the saving throw again, provided you can still restrain it this way.

The spell ends if you use your action to do anything else. The spell also ends if you end your turn, and the target has total cover from you or is outside the spell's range.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d12 for every two slot levels above 1st.

Black dragon

Also known as skull dragons, they are the most vile tempered and cruel of all chromatic dragons, and generally live solitary lives in swamps and marshlands. They love outliving glory and accomplishments, as they enjoy seeing everything rot, fester and fall apart. They often destroy cities to lair in the remnants, as they revel in outliving the city and being the cause of its demise.

Blue Dragon

Blue dragons are strategians, and are incredibly patient and coolheaded. As such they are considered the opposite of red dragons. If the battle cannot be safely won directly, the blue dragon can fly by with lightning strikes for literal days on end without ever fighting its foes directly. Nonetheless, they are driven to hunt reputable (not necessarily strong, just renowned) foes like knightly orders to prove their prowess. They live in deserts and in groups with an hierarchy based on strong family bonds, even towards their half dragon offspring, who often fight for them as Stormscale agents.

Brass Dragon

Brass dragons love talking above all else. They don't necessarily enjoy listen to others, and mostly like to speak to enjoy the sound of their own voice. They may even trap you in sand, or cage you, just to keep you listening. However, they never mean to cause any true harm, and they are one of the most benign of all species of dragon.

Bronze Dragon

Bronze dragons are the paladins but also the tyrants among metallic dragons. They have a self-defined set of rules and morals that they apply to everyone else, and will apply punishment to those that break them, while seeing no reason to reward those that succeed their trials. If they see theft as evil, then a 5 year old stealing a loaf of bread is no less evil than a hardened robber in their eyes. Fortunately they can be lenient, and bronze dragons prefer to resolve things without conflict, killing only when absolutely necessary. If pressed however, they will fight viciously. They often join good aligned armies to fight the forces of evil.

Copper Dragon

Also known as the trickster dragon, they love playing pranks on others. They are playful and often help those in need, but sometimes their pranks go a bit too far. A prank gone terribly awry will make them feel bad, but they won’t change their ways or see it as their fault. They are nimble and will much rather fight by jumping and climbing than fighting in flight. Combined with their rock shaping magic, this makes them incredibly dangerous in their rocky lairs.

Gold Dragon

Gold dragons are imperialistic yet isolationists, proactive schemers and preparers against evil plots yet not often ruling or preparing the victims to be. They spend most of their time in humanoid form practicing and studying magic, or confiscating powerful evil or dangerous magical items to protect or give to the ones worthy of these items. They are renowned for their wisdom and tenacity at fighting evil.

Green Dragon

Green dragons are the schemers and deceivers, the silver-tongued devil who would much rather see their enemies defeated without anyone even knowing that they were involved, than face a foe directly with pure brawn. They love collecting talent as their hoard, whether as captives or free willed. So when fighting, if it even comes to that, the green dragon probably brings along elite minions. However, they are also known as affectionate and protective parents.

Red Dragon

Red Dragons are loners and brutes, purely focussed on their reputation and wealth. They have a nasty streak of rage outbursts, during which they lose their sense of rationality and preservation, despite their hobby of strate-gising tactics against any possible scenario. They hate all other dragons and attack them on sight, including fellow chromatic dragons, and especially other red dragons.

Silver Dragon

Silver dragons live by the credo of "Actions causing harm is a crime, actions that cause no harm is one’s own bussiness". Meaning that as long as someone hasn't done anything wrong, the silver dragon will never proactively intervene or punish them. They focus more on saving and healing the innocent than punishing the villains. And when action is required they could contemplate on what kind of action is required for decades, unless they are driven to faster action by short-lived races like humans. They do love it when humans force them to action however, which is why they spend most of their times disguised among them. They find humans fascinating, and respectable in an obviously lesser to them but still significant enough degree.

White Dragon

White dragons are the most primitive of all dragons, and only intelligent in some ways. They have memories that let them recall details with perfect clarity, but no recollection of the nuances due to a lack of understanding in the abstract field. They know they are the weakest of the dragons, and survived this far only because there are no real dragon competitors in the desolate areas that they can survive in. However, despite being relatively weaker to other dragons they are still dragons, and when compared to most non-dragons they are at the top of the food chain.

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 or tougher scales. 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.

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 they 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 the spouses of half dragons, or simply other races that have been absorbed within a 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.

Playing as a dragonforged

When playing a warforged, you can choose to play the dragonforged variant, provided you have your DM's permission. If you do, then you lose your Specialized Design trait, and you must choose Draconic as your other language. In exchange you gain the following racial traits:

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 only discern shades of gray in darkness.

Breath Weapon: When you take a long rest you go through a process in which you shed metal on the inside and collect it in your "stomach". You can use your bonus action to exhale these metal shards in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 piercing damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases by an additional 1d6 at 5th level, 8th level, 11th level, and 17th level. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

While wearing magical armor, these shards count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage, and you add double the armor's magic AC bonus (if any) as additional damage to this breath weapon.

Flawed Restoration System: While you are in combat, any healing you receive from other creatures is halved.

If a spell, such as raise dead, has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath), then the caster doesn't need material components to cast the spell on you. In addition, these spells can be used to resurrect you within 1 day if the original time limit was shorter (such as the revivify spell). Whenever you become stabilized you immediately regain 1 hit point.

---

You can attune to magic items that require attunement by a dragonborn.

Mage Slayer (revised)

You have practiced techniques in melee combat against spellcasters, gaining the following benefits:

• Increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You have advantage on weapon attack rolls against creatures that are concentrating on a spell.
• When a creature within 5 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.
• You have advantage on saving throws against spells cast by creatures within 5 feet of you, or who started their turn within 5 feet of you. Creatures within 5 feet of you,          or who started their turn within 5 feet of you, have                   disadvantage on spell attack rolls against you.

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 usually be medium, as well as possess all
the other half dragon traits. At your DM's
discretion however, you can choose to be small
sized if one of your mortal parents was as well.

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 (Half Dragon) feat:

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, 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. Because of this they are less developed, 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 for 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 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 that match the color of their true dragon relative.

The majority of dragonwrought kobolds are born with a set of reptilian wings, which grants them the ability to glide long distances. With enough practice and experience, they can eventually use these wings for sustained flight as well.

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 ances-tors can live up to ten times longer. Which is impressive seeing as regular kobolds can live up to 120 years.

Dragonwrought eggs are usually brought to sacred kobold communities in mountain ranges or other high altitudes, where they can train their wings (if any) instead of digging through the earth and placing traps. They are often more prideful than regular kobolds, though this does not dissuade other kobolds from revering them in the slightest.

Urds

Urds, or winged kobolds, are kobolds who were born with a set of reptilian wings similar to dragonwrought kobolds. However, aside from their wings, they don't have a strong connection to their dragon ancestors like dragonwroughts have. Urds often live in caves in high mountains, and use bat companions instead of weasels. When playing as an urd (page 22), and using the Weasel Companions option (page 20), you can exchange the domesticated giant weasel with the giant bat (Monster Manual page 323), exchange the domesticated dire weasel with the vampire bat, and change any mention of weasel to bat. A vampire bat has the same statistics as a giant bat, except it has a Challenge of 1, 44 hit points (8 Hit Dice), and its bite attack changes as follows:

Relationship with other races

Lamia on a whole are on good terms with most races, except for races that are often in conflict with humans, like orcs. They have a strong hatred towards yuan-ti and lamia nobles, with the feelings being mutual. Naga are similar, as they tend to get along with most races except for those who war with half dragons. However, naga tend to get along the most with half dragons who tend towards good alignments, and bahamut is a popular god among them.

Naga (Variant Half Dragon)

Naga are born from unions between full dragons and lamia, or are descendants from such unions, and are technically half dragons that gain the snake like tail of full lamia (see page 16 on how to make a naga). Naga more often live among half dragons instead of humans, and many have half dragon partners, with the child usually being born as a naga. Similar to lamia, most naga are female and quite commonly, even if they are on average a little more fierce.

The most common naga are those with bronze dragon ancestry, who hail from underwater cities, most notably Nagatar. These naga have more green than bronze in their coloration, and are also much more pragmatic, leaning towards neutral alignments. They simply call themselves naga, and most of their men are affected by the Dragon Rage transformation (page ...) but are also permanently changed into their Dragon Rage form. However, they can still cast and concentrate on spells, wield coral weapons (page 93) at higher transformation levels, and they can only lose control due to the curse if they can see, smell, or hear a hostile creature while in combat themselves. Males often take martial roles, while the females prefer magical roles.

If a naga bloodline mingles with lamia bloodlines for 7 generations, the offspring will be born as lamia, but can have obvious draconic ancestry. Like the lamia Draconic Bloodline sorceress below, whose medusa heritage and moonstone dragon ancestor grant her a unique appearance.

Medusa Heritage

Prerequisite: Lamia

Some lamia have medusa blood running in their veins, and can embrace the devastating abilities of this heritage. Many, though not all, have snakes as hair which they can use to bite with instead. You deal an extra 1d6 poison damage to a creature whenever you hit it with your bite attack.

You can use your action to force a creature within 30 feet that can see your eyes to make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is paralyzed until the end of its next turn. You can use your bonus action to force a creature that failed this saving throw within the past minute to repeat this saving throw with disadvantage. Each time it fails, it is paralyzed again until the end of its next turn. When a creature is paralyzed in this way for the third time in a span of 1 minute, it is instantly petrified. As an action, you can end the petrified condition on a creature that you can see and that you petrified yourself.

Starting at 10th level, the DC for this saving throw increases to 12. At 15th level, the DC increases to 14. At 20th level, the DC increases to 16.

NOTE: This feat can be very potent, even with its low save DC, so you must have your DM's permission to choose it.

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 dragons and 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 most famous deities of the draconic pantheon are Bahamut and Tiamat. They are the ones who have 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.

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 have offended
him instead of killing them,
although it is also said that
Bahamut loathes to
sully himself
with the
blood of
evil
creatures.

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, and several of their slave-steeds, were banished to their own world of Abeir. There, the dragons rose up against their masters and were able to defeat most of them, ruling Abeir in their stead. Meanwhile, many dragons were left behind by the primordials, and became a dominant species on many worlds. The primordials still remain a threat however, as some have vowed to bring dragon kind back under their rule. They operate through cultists, to manipulate the draconic races and destroy them from within. These cultists pose themselves as virtuous, claiming that having dragon blood makes you tended towards evil, and that you must follow the cult for guidance and let the cult take care of you, making you a slave in all but name. 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 oppressors
to the other races. While many
true chromatic dragons are in-
deed evil, more than one innocent
half dragon or dragonborn has
been the victim of a hateful
mob set up by primordial
cultists.

A Dragon's Gift

Many have heard of the extraordinary powers of dragons' scales, but 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, as it also grants the wearer immunity against that dragon's breath weapon. Equally rare are the weapons made of gifted dragon fangs and claws. Dragonfriend's Armor is especially sought after by druids, who are able to wear it due to its lack of metal.

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).

Amulet of the Red Dragon

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This item is crafted by half red dragon tribes, and gifted to those who've accomplished a great feat for their people. It shields its wearer against ailments and the effects of fatigue. This makes it an invaluable item for berserkers.

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

• You gain a + 1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with melee weapons.
• 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 short or long rest. If you start a short or long rest without having used this feature, your exhaustion level, if any, is decreased by 1 after you finish that rest.

Coral Weapon

Weapon (any melee), rare (requires attunement)

This weapon is a favorite of half bronze dragons, and is mostly a trident. It is often used by naga with bronze dragon ancestry, who are more pragmatic than their legged kin. You gain the following benefits while being attuned to it:

You deal an extra 1d8 poison damage with this weapon.
If you are a half bronze dragon (this includes naga with the Bronze subrace), and this weapon still has charges, then when you use your Breath Weapon's repulsion gas you can instead conjure a wave of water (which evaporates after-wards) with the same effects but which also deals bludgeon-ing damage equal to your Breath Weapon's damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. Underwater creatures have disadvantage on their saving throws against your Breath Weapon's lightning breath.

This weapon has 5 charges and it fully recharges once per long rest, after it has been submerged in saltwater for 1 hour. When you hit a creature with a coral sword, you can expend 1 of its charges to force the target to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, as corals grow from the wound.

If it fails, the target can’t benefit from any healing, has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it takes 2d4 poison damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can take an action to remove the corals, with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (medicine) check.

Once per long rest, while underwater, you can use a bonus action to activate the regenerating properties of the sword. For 1 minute and while you remain underwater, you regain 5 hit points at the start of each of your turns.

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 racial 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, regard-less of your intentions, and you have 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.

Murgul Names

Murgul names seem like gargling sounds to others, and don't differentiate between male or female names.

Murgul Names: Brglmurgl, Lurgglbr, Finley, Glglrmurk, Glrglrglr, Gmurgl, Gobbler, Grrgr, Gurgill, Mmmrrrggglll, Mrmrglmr, Murgla, Murgurgula, Murky, Squrky, Urmgrgl.

Murgul Traits

Your draconic heritage manifests in a variety of traits you share with other dragonborn.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age. Murgul mature to adulthood in a single year, but have been known to live up to 50 years.

Alignment. Most murgul are lawful, having been raised in a strict caste system, and also tend toward neutral. Isolated murgul are pragmatic survivors who often torture their victims before eating them, and tend towards evil.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet, and you have a swim speed of 30 feet.

Bite. You have sharp teeth which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your bite, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike

Water Dependency. You can breathe air and water. If you fail to submerge yourself in water for at least 1 hour during a day, you suffer 1 level of exhaustion at the end of that day. You can recover from this exhaustion only through magic or by immersing yourself in water for at least 1 hour.

Poison Immunity. You are immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

Poisonous Skin. Any creature that grapples you or otherwise comes into direct contact with your skin must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or become poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature no longer in direct contact with you can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

You can also apply this poison to any piercing or slashing weapon as part of an attack with that weapon, though when you hit the poison reacts differently. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or take 2d4 poison damage.

Blood Frenzy. When you miss with an attack roll against a creature that doesn't have all its hit points, you can reroll the attack with advantage. You can use this trait a numer of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Draconic and Nerglish. Nerglish is the murgul's guttural language. Those who speak Draconic can understand it.

Variant Murgul: Some murgul are more adept to living in the dark depths of the sea, and gain Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. In exchange however, they must submerge themselves in water once every 8 hours or suffer a level of exhaustion due to dehydration.

Lair Actions

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

• The dragon glimpses the future, so it has advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until initiative count 20 on the next round.
• One creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be banished to a dream plane, a different plane of existence the dragon has imagined into being. To escape, the creature must use its action to make a Charisma check contested by the dragon’s. If the creature wins, it escapes the dream plane. Otherwise, the effect ends on initiative count 20 on the next round. When the effect ends, the creature reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that one is occupied.

Regional Effects

The region surrounding a legendary celestial dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• The weather is calm and pleasant within 10 miles of the dragon's lair. So calm in fact that the dragon can hear the chants of any potential nearby monasteries, whom the dragon loves to listen to.
• Whenever a creature that can understand a language sleeps or enters a state of trance or reverie within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair, the dragon can establish telepathic contact with that creature and converse with it in its dreams. The creature remembers its conversation with the dragon upon waking.
• Gems and pearls within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair sparkle and gleam, shedding dim light in a 5-foot radius.

The dragon's listed innate spells are not part of the Variant: Dragons as Innate Spellcasters option (Monster Manual page 86). When using that variant, the dragon favors spells from the wizard spell list.
