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

| Blue | Lightning |
| Brass | Fire |
| Bronze | Lightning |
| Copper | Acid |

| Silver | Cold |

Draconic Magic
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Spell tables, the spells you learn correspond to the draconic spell table and that of your Draconic Ancestry.

Dragonkin
Your body is more thick than normal to accommodate a new organ near the heart and under the protection of the rib cage, this organ is normally called "draconic heart" and 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 dragon-like scales. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Constitution modifier.
Elemental Affinity
Starting at 6th level, your dragonheart grow and you gain resistance to the damage type of your Draconic Ancestry.
Also, when you cast a spell that deals damage of the type associated with your draconic ancestry, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell
Draconic Presence
Starting at 6th level, whenever you do a Intimidation or Persuasion check, you can spend 1 sorcery point to manifest a draconic presence. You gain proficiency for that check, if you are proficient already, the proficiency bonus is doubled.
Draconic Transformation
At 14th level, your draconic heart reaches a mature state allowing it to manifest more draconic traits. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 or more sorcery points to magically transform your body for 10 minutes. For each sorcery point you spend, you can gain one of the following benefits of your choice, the effects of which last until the transformation ends:
- You gain blindsight within 30 feet of you, if you already have blindsight, it extends 30 feet.
- You sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back gaining a flying speed equal to twice your walking speed. You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.
- You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and you can breathe underwater.
- You gain a climb speed equal to your walking speed.
- You gain a burrow speed equal to your walking speed.
Draconic Maturity
At 18th level, your draconic heart reaches its fullness, linking with every fiber, bone and nerve of your body. For now on you have the following characteristics:
- You are immune to the damage type of your Draconic Ancestry.
- You can use your Charisma score and modifier instead of Strength to any check or calculation.
- The duration of your Draconic Transformation extend to a number of hours equal to half your sorcerer level.
- You age practically like a dragon, you gain all the benefits that come with age but none of the detriments.
Draconic Heart
In the case of a Bloodline, the draconic heart is naturally formed along the life of the infant and the traits and magic are manifested around puberty. When we speak of a transformation through a ritual on the other hand, the affected person falls into a feverish state for about a month, suffering pain and spasms while his body abruptly changes to adapt.
The end result is the same, the formation of a "draconic heart" and the birth of a sorcerer. The fibers of this organ are connected to the muscles, the spine and the heart, so deep is the root that the extraction of the organ always results in the death of the sorcerer, in the same way that the extraction of the heart results in the death of most creatures.

The claws also are magical, for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
