Dragonsoul Class by

## Dragonsoul

Guards charge through the streets, panic trailing the ends of their words as they search for the beast sighted rampaging in the market square. A red-haired elf moves to let them pass, and once he turns down the next street, releases a puff of smoke from his nose.

Flying low to the ground, a brilliant white dragon speeds across a frozen landscape. The sound of war drums grows closer, and the dragon rakes his claws over the snowy plain, kicking up a blinding draft of powder. The wall of white rushes for a line of soldiers, and with a twist, the dragon spirals up into the air, burying the soldiers in a avalanche of ice and snow.

Golden eyes gleam in the moonlight. The bandits lay still around a burnt-out campfire, their stolen gold bursting from the seams of the pouches at their belts. A shadow in the brush lowers itself into a hunter's crouch, and a forked tongue flicks out. With a bestial roar, a dragon with blazing green scales pounces from the brush, pinning one of the bandits under her terrible claws. The men scramble to flee from under the shadow of a pair of great wings as the dragon rears back, bearing teeth like daggers. In a flash, the encampment is empty, and the dragon chortles to herself as she rakes up the gold left behind.

The most infamous monsters of storybooks, bane of kingdoms, and foe to every errant knight seeking gold and glory, dragons inspire terror and awe like no other. With fang and claw, and terrible burning breath, dragons take what they want of the world, and only the bravest, or most foolish, would dare challenge these kings of the sky.

### Feared or Famed
Whether your scales are metallic or chromatic, others will have predetermined opinions of you based on your appearance alone. It is your choice how you will react to the apprehension you will be met with. You can choose either to lean into your monstrous nature, taking pleasure in the fear your presence causes, and using your power to control those weaker than yourself, or you can choose a benevolent path. In place of being feared on sight, you may wish to earn the respect of other creatures. You can use your power as a force of good in the world, taking on other monsters in service to those who look up to you.

### Creating a Dragonsoul 
Dragons are typically solitary creatures, and beyond a few species, are not often known to intermingle with lesser creatures. So, what started your journey? How did you end up where you are? Perhaps it is no longer safe to expose yourself as a dragon in a world that hunts them for sport, so you use your humanoid form to seek refuge amongst the enemy, and are biding your time until you can either take your revenge, or change the public opinion in your favor. Perhaps you were banished by a collective authority of your own kind, and have no choice but to carry on this way until you can redeem yourself.

Consider these questions while you are creating your dragonsoul character.

#### Attitude Toward Humanoids
Dragons tend to be split down the middle when it comes to their opinions on humanoids. Half want to burn them to a crisp, or subjugate as many as possible, while others actively seek out their company, or position themselves as protectors over their feeble humanoid friends.

| d6  | Attitude |
|:---:|:----:|
|  1  | You have the urge to burn every humanoid you see |
|  2  | Humanoids are annoying pest, but they make useful servants with proper motivation |
|  3  | You are more than happy to keep to the company of only your own kind |
|  4  | Humanoids are a mouse to your cat. They are fun to mess with, but you always let them go when once you've had your fun |
|  5  | Humanoids are not so different from you. There is much to learn from them, if one is willing to have an open mind |
|  6  | You happily make friends with anyone, and enjoy lively company no matter who its from |

#### Draconic Ambition 
Dragons are renowned for their thirst for power, resources, or knowledge, and the lengths they will go to achieve their goals.

| d6  | Ambition |
|:---:|:----:|
|  1  | You want to amass as much physical gold as possible. 
|  2  | You seek to gain the favor with powerful beings and diefic figures |
|  3  | You will not rest until your domain stretches from horizon to horizon |
|  4  | You find bodies a more valuable commodity than gold. What kingdom can withstand a dragon's might, and the army at its back? |
|  5  | It is your purpose to cultivate the largest collection of worldly knowledge there has ever been |
|  6  | You are desperate to find the key to ever-lasting life, and will tear the world apart to find it |

#### Hoarded Items
Not all dragons are content only with gold and precious gems. Some crave a more unique treasure.

| d6  | Treasure |
|:---:|:----:|
|  1  | You seek rare art pieces from the world's most talented painters and sculptors |
|  2  | Your hoard resembles a library, filled to the brim with tomes, scrolls, poems, historical records, and works of fiction alike |
|  3  | You collect only a specific type of gemstone |
|  4  | You enjoy the craftsmanship of others, collecting handmade clothes, pottery, and tools |
|  5  | As trophies of your conquest, your hoard is full of the weapons, armor, and charred bones of those who have challenged you |
|  6  | You collect creatures. Mundane beasts, magical monstrosities, or even pet humanoids |

#### Hit Points
***Hit Dice***: 1d8 per dragonsoul level

***Hit Points at 1st Level***: 8 + your Constitution modifier

***Hit Points at Higher Level***: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per dragonsoul level after 1st

\columnbreak

* leather armor 
* (a) a simple melee weapon and a simple ranged weapon or (b) two simple melee weapons 
* (a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack

Alternatively, you may start with 3d4 x 10 gp to buy your own equipment.

#### Multiclassing
You cannot multiclass into or out of this class.

## Class Features
As a dragonsoul, you gain the following class features.

### Elemental Core
At the heart of each dragon's ferocity and awe-inspiring presence is the source of their baneful breath weapons: their elemental core. Once you choose your elemental core at 1st level, this choice cannot be changed. Your core refers to a specific damage type, and this damage type will be referenced in your other abilities. Choose one of the following to be your core: fire, cold, lightning, acid, or poison.

At your GM's discretion, other core types may be available, such as psychic, radiant, necrotic, thunder, and force, in reference to particularly rare dragons.

\pagebreak

### True Form
You are a dragon, despite the amount of time you spend in your humanoid form. Your humanoid self is a flawless imitation of any particular humanoid race of your choosing, but once you decide on the features of your disguise, the decisions are permanent. You can switch between your Humanoid and Dragon form as an Action.

Also, as a dragon, you know Draconic.

At 1st level, your powers, including your size, as a dragon are limited. But, you gain power as you grow in this class. You can enter new, larger and more ferocious True Forms at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. The True Form stat blocks change your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores, but your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma remain the same whether you are in Humanoid or Dragon form.

All abilities that you use while in your True Form, that are not otherewised defined, use the following calculation for saving throws:

**Save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

When you reach 6th level, your natural weapon attacks in your True Form count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical damage.

### Chromatic Origin
At 3rd level, you gain additional features depending on the type of dragon that you are. You gain features from your Chromatic Origin at levels 3, 6, 11, and 17.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

You may instead take a feat at this level.

### Frightful Presence
At 7th level, if you are in your True Form, as an Action you can target a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus within 90 feet of you. The targets must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw 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, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

### Flyby 
At 9th level, if you are in your True Form, when you take the Disengage Action and are using your flying speed to move away, you can make one Bite attack as a reaction against a creature within your reach.

\columnbreak

### Reactive Bash
You gain a new attack to use against foes who make the mistake of striking you. At 13th level, while in your True Form, when you are damaged by a creature who you have not made an attack against during the previous turn, you can make one Tail attack against them as a reaction.

### Blindsense
At 14th level, you gain blingsight with a range of 20 feet.

### Legendary Resistance
At 18th level, your strong attunement with the forces of magic in the world make it hard for spells to affect you. When you are targeted by a magical effect or spell, and you fail your saving throw against the effect, you can expend a use of this ability to reroll your save and take the highest result. You can do this once per initiative. You may also expend one of your Hit Dice to use this ability again, but no more than three times per initiative.

## Chromatic Heritage (20)
Below are the options for your heritage. Your DM may choose to restrict the options available to you. Each heritage is labeled with a (C) for common, (U) for uncommon, and (R) for rare. A DM may decide you may only choose from some of those available options based on the campaign setting.

### Amethyst Dragon (U)
Amethyst dragons, the mightiest of the gem dragons, study and psionically manipulate the fundamental principles of the multiverse, from the force of gravity to the emanations of the Outer Planes. Their innate psionics give them a measure of control over how physical laws affect them. They defy gravity with flight that doesn't rely solely upon their great wings, and gravitational force empowers both their devastating breath weapon and the exploding amethyst crystals they spit at their foes.

Your Elemental Core must be Force to choose this subclass.

#### Bonus Spells
You gain the following spells known as you gain levels in this class. You can cast each spell you know once per long rest.

| Level  | Spell |

***Explosive Crystal***. You can throw a crystal up to 60 feet, or detonate any one crystal you have placed on the ground or affixed to a structure as an Action. It explodes on impact, dealing 2d8 force damage in a 10-foot sphere if creatures within the area fail a Constitution saving throw, or half as much on a successful save. This damage increases to 3d8 at 5th level, 4d8 at 9th, 5d8 at 13th, and 6d8 at 17th.

***Spatial Projection***. As an Action, you can affix a crystal to a solid location, and use your Action on any following turn within the next minute to teleport to that crystal's location. Once a crystal has been used in this way, it becomes inert.

Choose a point within 120-feet of you. As an Action, you summon a gravity well in a 15-foot radius sphere. Every creature within the area must succeed a Strength saving throw or have its speed reduced by 5 feet. Every turn the creature remains within the area, which is difficult terrain, it must succeed this save again, or have its speed reduced further, to a maximum of 0. You can do this once per initiative.

#### Imprisoning Force

### Black Dragon (C)
The most evil-tempered and vile of the chromatic dragons, black dragons collect the wreckage and treasures of fallen peoples.

* The target takes an additional 2d6 piercing damage
* The target is impaled on your horns and considered **grappled**
* The target is knocked **prone** or shoved back 10 feet

\pagebreak

#### Summon Darkness
*11th-level Black Dragon feature*

As an Action, you can summon a deep, terrifying darkness over your opponents. Magical darkness spreads from a point you chooses within 120 feet of you, filling a 15-foot-radius sphere until you dismiss it as an Action or you die. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can't illuminate it. If any of the effect's area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd-level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled. You can do this once per initiative.

#### Noxious Gas
*17th-level Black Dragon feature*

In your true form, you continuously expel a foul gas cloud. The swamp gas expands 10 feet in every direction. Each creature who starts their turn within the area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be nauseated. If a creature fails this saving throw, it remains nauseated until it leaves the area.

### Blue Dragon (C)
Vain and territorial, blue dragons soar through the skies over deserts, preying on caravans and plundering herds and settlements in the verdant lands beyond the desert's reach.

Your Elemental Core must be Lightning to choose this subclass.

#### Lightning Rod
*6th-level Blue Dragon feature*

When another creature uses an effect or casts a spell that deals lightning damage, you can use your reaction to redirect the damage to yourself, losing your resistance to this damage, or turning your immunity into resistance. If you do so, your next attack deals additional lightning damage equal to your dragonsoul level.

\columnbreak

#### Sand Spit
*11th-level Blue Dragon feature*

As an Action, you can summon a cloud of sand swirls about in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can see within 120 feet of you. The cloud spreads around corners. Each creature in the cloud must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be **blinded** 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. You can do this once per initiative.

#### Earthen Tremors
*17th-level Black Dragon feature*

In your true form, you can command the earth beneath you at a whim. As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can create a 5-foot-radius, 20-foot-deep pit within 30 feet of you. A creature on the ground above where the pit formed must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature falls to the bottom of the pit, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage and landing **prone**.

#### Icy Touch
*3rd-level Silver Dragon feature*

You gain a swim speed equal to your walking speed while in your True Form. While swimming, if you are no more than 5 feet below the water's surface, you can cause the surface above you in a 10-foot cube to freeze over as a bonus action. This change lasts 1 minute.

#### Gregarious Soul  
*3rd-level Silver Dragon feature*

Creatures are often put at ease by you. You can expend one of your Hit Dice and roll it, gaining the result as a bonus to the next Charisma skill check you make. If you still fail the skill check, the Hit Die is not expended.

#### Project Wings
*6th-level Silver Dragon feature*

As a reaction, when you see a creature falling, you can magically project an upward draft of air to slow the creature's fall. The creature then glides safely to the ground, as though *feather fall* has been cast on it. If you do this, you cannot use your fly speed for 1 round.

You can use this feature once per short or long rest.

#### Frigid Grasp 
*11th-level Silver Dragon feature*

As an Action, you summon a sudden, supernatural chill fills air around you. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be **restrained** for 1 minute. Creatures can reroll this save at the end of each of their turns. that have resistance to cold damage have advantage on the saving throw; creatures that have immunity to cold damage succeed automatically.

#### Winter's Wind
*17th-level Silver Dragon feature*

You are surrounded by blistering cold. Any creature that begins its turn within 10 feet of you has its speed halved. If a creature within 10 feet of you takes cold damage from you, it must also succeed a Constitution saving throw or be **paralyzed** until the end of its next turn, as the power of ice is intensified with your aura.

### Solar Dragon (R)
A solar dragon (also known as a radiant dragon or a sun dragon) is born in the heart of a star. It divides its time outside its lair between patrolling its territory and hunting for food. The dragon has a serpentine body, a pair of ventral limbs ending in long fins, nebulous wings that give off light, and gleaming, multicolored scales. It can see clearly even in blindingly bright light.

Your Elemental Core must be Radiant to choose this subclass.

#### Bonus Spells
You gain the following spells known as you gain levels in this class. You can cast each spell you know once per long rest.

#### Webbed Fingers
*3rd-level Solar Dragon feature*

You gain a swim speed equal to your walking speed while in your True Form.

#### Guarded Mind
*3rd-level Solar Dragon feature*

You are shielded from attempts to probe your mind. If a creature attempts to communicate with you telepathically, or magically spy on you, such as with the *Scrying* spell, your GM rolls a secret Charisma saving throw on your behalf against the spellcaster's spell save DC. If you succeed, you are aware of the effect, and you can send a flash of your radiant power through the connection linking you to the other creature. That creature is momentary blinded, and must succeed a concentration check to continue their spell. If the effect is not a spell, the connection is severed.

#### Radiant Engine
*6th-level Solar Dragon feature*

As a reaction, when you be subjected to radiant damage, you can sacrifice your resistance to that damage. In doing so, you can either grant yourself advantage on your next attack roll and add half the radiant damage that you took as a bonus to the damage of that attack, if it hits.

When you gain immunity to radiant damage, your immunity becomes resistance when you use this trait.

#### Blinding Brilliance 
*11th-level Solar Dragon feature*

As an action, you can emit magical light in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can see within 120 feet of you. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be **blinded** 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. You can do this once per initiative.

\pagebreak

#### Star Burst 
*17th-level Solar Dragon feature*

When you are reduced to 0 hit points, the radiant energy within you begins to collapse in on itself. Your body shrinks into a 5-foot orb of pure energy. While you continue to make death saving throws but do not die, any creature which starts its turn adjacent to you takes 50 points of radiant damage. If you are stabilized, or critically succeed a death saving throw, your body returns to its normal form.

If you die, the energy within you expands outward in a single powerful blast of pure cosmic force. Every creature within 30-feet of you when this occurs must succeed a Constitution saving throw or take 10d12 points of radiant damage and be **blinded** for 1 round. Creatures that succeed take half damage and are not **blinded**. If this occurs, your body is destroyed, and you can only be revived by means of *Wish*.

### Time Dragon (R)
These sleek dragons harness the power of time to manipulate the past, present, and future. Time dragon wyrmlings are born with shining scales and have horns that are barely more than nubs. As they master the flow of time, their horns grow with branching, rainbow-hued veins suggestive of time's paths and possibilities.

Your Elemental Core must be Force to choose this subclass.

#### Bonus Spells
You gain the following spells known as you gain levels in this class. You can cast each spell you know once per long rest.

| Level  | Spell |
|:---:|:----:|
|  3  | misty step |
|  5  | slow |
|  9  | wall of light |
|  13  | contingency |

#### Chiseled Claws
*3rd-level Time Dragon feature*

You gain a climb speed equal to your walking speed while in your True Form.

#### Ancient Memories
*3rd-level Time Dragon feature*

In much the way of the phoenix, time dragons are immortal, continually reborn again and again after each death. The memories and experiences of your previous life can be called upon to aide you. When you make a skill check in which you are not proficient, you can grant yourself advantage on that check a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier.

\columnbreak

#### Time Slip
*6th-level Time Dragon feature*

When an attack is made against you, you can use your reaction to halve the damage from that attack, and immediately move up to half your move speed in a single instant. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You can use this ability once per short or long rest.

#### Temporal Fling
*11th-level Time Dragon feature*

You attempt to fling a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself forward through time. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or take 4d12 psychic damage and move 1 round forward in time. A target moved forward in time vanishes for the duration. When the effect ends, the target reappears in the space it left or in an unoccupied space nearest to that space if it's occupied. This feature can be used once per initiative.

#### Divergent Timeline
*17th-level Time Dragon feature*

As an Action, you can split apart the present timeline, allowing yourself to exist in two places at once. Choose a space no further than your maximum move speed where you can fit. The copy of yourself appears in that space, and lasts while you maintain concentration on this effect. Whenever you move or take an Action, you choose which version of you is moving or acting. If an effect or attack can target both the spaces you and your copy occupy at the same time, you are affected only once.

### Topaz Dragon (U)
Decay and despair are bound up in the nature of topaz dragons, thanks to the necrotic energy of the Negative Plane that suffuses them. Their psionic power manifests the fundamental entropic principle that mortal beings and their creations are ultimately doomed to death and decomposition, and the dragons' demeanor is typically morbid and curmudgeonly as a result.

Your Elemental Core must be Necrotic to choose this subclass.

#### Bonus Spells
You gain the following spells known as you gain levels in this class. You can cast each spell you know once per long rest.

| Level  | Spell |
|:---:|:----:|

|  13  | circle of death |

#### Webbed Fingers

You gain a swim speed equal to your walking speed while in your True Form.

\pagebreak

#### Dust to Dust
*3rd-level Topaz Dragon feature*

As an Action, you can touch a non-magical object worth no more than 50 GP. The object is infected with a necrotic energy, and disintegrates.

#### Bane Breath
*6th-level Topaz Dragon feature*

Any creature that fails its saving throw versus your Breath Weapon has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes.

#### Negative Infusion 
*11th-level Topaz Dragon feature*

Choose a space within 120 feet of you. As an Action, you can pull the life force from an area no larger than a 30-foot sphere. Within the area, creatures cannot regain hit points.

Any creature other than you that begins its turn within the area must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity ability checks, attack rolls, and deal half damage with all weapon attacks. This effect ends if the creature leaves the area. You can sustain this effect for up to 1 minute. You can use this feature once per initiative.

#### Negate Magic
*17th-level Topaz Dragon feature*

As a reaction, when a spell is cast on you, you can sacrifice a number of Hit Dice equal to the level of the spell and negate its casting, as though you had cast *Counterspell*.

### White Dragon (C)
The smallest, least intelligent, and most animalistic of the chromatic dragons, white dragons dwell in frigid climes, favoring arctic areas or icy mountains. They are vicious, cruel reptiles driven by hunger and greed.

Your Elemental Core must be Cold to choose this subclass.

#### Bonus Spells
You gain the following spells known as you gain levels in this class. You can cast each spell you know once per long rest.

| Level  | Spell |
|:---:|:----:|
|  3  | snowball swarm |
|  5  | sleet storm |
|  9  | cone of cold |
|  13  | wall of ice |

#### Ice Walker
*3rd-level White Dragon feature*

Difficult terrain composed of ice or snow doesn't cost extra movement, and you gain a swim speed equal to your walking speed.

\columnbreak

#### Deep Cold
*3rd-level White Dragon feature*

A number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per day, you can deal cold damage with your natural attacks for 1 round instead of their normal damage. If you use this feature with your Bite attack, the bonus cold damage already dealt by the attack ignores resistance to cold damage, and treats immunity as resistance.

#### Blinding Sleet
*6th-level White Dragon feature*

When you use your fly speed to take off from the ground, shards of ice fall off your wings and pelt creatures in your shadow. Any creature which was within 10 feet of you before your movement must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or be **blinded** until the end of its next turn by the falling sleet. 
#### Freezing Fog
*11th-level White Dragon feature*

As an action, you can summon a wall of freezing-cold fog which fills a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can see within 120 feet of you. The fog spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured.

Each creature in the fog when it appears must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 3d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the fog takes another 3d6 cold damage. A wind of at least 20 miles per hour disperses the fog. The fog otherwise lasts for 1 minute. You can use this feature once per initiative.

#### Winter's Wind
*17th-level White Dragon feature*

In your true form, you are surrounded by an icy gale. The area within 10 feet of you is always considered lightly obscured to all creatures but you. This gives other creatures disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice you. Additionally, each time a creature moves within 10 feet of you, you can cause one of the following effects immediately (this does not require your reaction):

* The creature is pushed up to 15 feet away from you by a blast of icy wind if it fails a Strength saving throw 
* The creature must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or fall **prone** on the slick ice beneath you 
* The creature must succeed a Constitution saving throw or be **blinded** until it leaves the area 
* The creature takes 1d10 points of cold damage from flying icicles caught in the whirlwind
