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

Most notably, the types of dragons that cause such unyielding rage are the black, blue, green, red and white chromatic variants. Not all those with these ancestries are tended towards such violent and destructive outbursts, but all those that follow this path are indeed from these ancestries. Their chromatic heritage simply manifests itself far stronger than it does for others, which some scholars believe is connected to the fact that these five types of dragons make up the five heads of Tiamat. While chromatic dragons are not as renowned for walking among the mortal masses as their metallic cousins are, there have been those who started bloodlines that stretch back millennia. No matter how diluted this bloodline becomes, it can always manifest itself in any of its descendants, and when properly harnessed can become a force of reckoning. Due to their more volatile chromatic blood, those following this path tend toward chaos, as they contain potent destructive power that paces at the edges of the cage, just waiting to be unleashed. This however is not the norm, as there are those who have learned to control their impulses.

The zekyl, an elven subrace who were created through unions between drow and shadow dragons, are all able to tap into this primal path due to the chaotic influences of the Shadowfell. Their normally calm and calculated demeanor hides the dragon that lurks beneath, waiting to strike.

### Draconic Form
At 3rd level, whenever you enter a rage, you can choose to give in to your draconic fury and manifest aspects of a draconic being; growing natural weapons as claws erupt from your fingertips, fangs sprout from your maw, and you gain a vicious lashing tail (or an existing tail changes and becomes stronger).

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

##### Natural Weapons

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

##### Fury Points

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

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

\columnbreak

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

**Bite:** Once per turn when you hit a creature with your bite, you can spend 2 fury points to regain an amount of hit points equal to twice your Constitution modifier (min. of 2), provided you have less than half your maximum hit points.

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

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

### Dragon Color

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

### Draconic Ascension

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

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

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

**Vicious Weapons:** You count as being affected by the *magic fang* cantrip (page 144) until your rage ends.

\pagebreakNum

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

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

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

\columnbreak

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

___
***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.*

</div>

> ##### Optional Rule: Martial Multiclassing
>At your DM's discretion, if you have the Extra Attack feature and would gain Extra Attack from another class, you can instead choose to gain an additional fighting style that you don't already know from one of those classes. Extra Attack from different classes cannot stack. If none of your classes have access to a fighting style, you can choose one from the fighter class.

## Path of the Totem Warrior, Dragon Totem Spirit

The **dragon** is an optional totem spirit that can be chosen by barbarians who follow the **Path of the Totem Warrior**. Many who choose this option are from tribes that worship dragons, and who hold draconic might in high esteem. Surprisingly, dragons tend to shy away from creating too many half dragons with these primitive humans. Scholars believe that this is because dragons are aware of the pride and arrogance of those who share their blood, and when combined with human ambition and the tribes their lust for war, this could have dire consequences. This is also why many half dragons form communities for survival, despite how fast they reproduce, as they share the pride of their dragon ancestors but not their powerful bodies. Instead, these human tribes create champions known as totem guardians. These totem guardians are among the strongest members of their tribe, and are responsible for protecting their tribes and dragon masters. They are chosen either by dragonspeakers, as a result of dream visions, or directly by the dragons themselves.

##### 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 117) 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.

#### Optional: Totem Guardian

Totem guardians are Path of the Totem Warrior barbarians who can only choose the dragon as their totem spirit. If you choose this limitation at 3rd level, you grow retractable claws from the tips of your fingers as natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Extending or retracting the claws requires no action. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the normal bludgeoning damage for an unarmed strike. In addition, you count as being permanently affected by the *magic fang* cantrip (page 144).

## Feats

### 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 attack with your claws as a bonus action that turn.
- 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.
- Your natural weapons deal additional damage of the same type dealt by them equal to your proficiency bonus.

## 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.

<div>

### Truth Sayer

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

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

In addition, you learn the *vicious mockery* cantrip. If you already know this cantrip, you can choose a different bard cantrip instead. The first time that those affected by this spell deal damage to other creatures, without involving an attack roll, they must roll a die equal to your inspiration die and subtract it from the damage dealt (targets that fail their saving throw against your *vicious mockery* cantrip count as being affected by this spell until the end of their next turn). 
</div>

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

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

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

**Make it Personal:** Roll the inspiration die and subtract the amount rolled from the target's attack rolls whenever it attacks anyone other than you. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn.

___
You must choose which one of these effects you cause as you expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration this way, but before you roll the inspiration die.

\columnbreak

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

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

### The Voice of the People

Also at 6th level, your ability to communicate transcends barriers of language. You can communicate basic concepts with creatures that don't share a language with you as long as that creature speaks at least one language through intonation, body language, gestures, attitude, and swaggering about. Using this method you can get information such as how much something should cost, where notable locations are, who the toughest person or thing around is, and which paths or alleyways should be avoided, as well other things your DM might find appropriate for you to be able to learn from them.

### Spitting Fire

Starting at 14th level, you can deliver verbal components to spells with blinding speed and precision, 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.

## Arcana Domain, Revised

Magic is an energy that suffuses the multiverse and that fuels both destruction and creation. Gods of the Arcana domain know the secrets and potential of magic intimately. For some of these gods, magical knowledge is a great responsibility that comes with a special understanding of the nature of reality. Other gods of Arcana see magic as pure power, to be used as its wielder sees fit. The gods of this domain are often associated with knowledge, as learning and arcane power tend to go hand-in-hand. In the Realms, deities of this domain include Azuth and Mystra, as well as Corellon Larethian of the elven pantheon. In other worlds, this domain includes Hecate, Math Mathonwy, and Isis; the triple moon gods of Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari of Krynn; and Boccob, Vecna, and Wee Jas of Greyhawk.

This domain along with the Dragon domain are popular among half gold dragon clerics, as their people are known for both their wisdom as well as their affinity towards arcane magic. Many half gold dragon clerics follow the god Asgorath (also known as Io) who is the leader of the dragon pantheon, and both domains are part of his portfolio.

<div>

### Domain Spells

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

##### Arcana Domain Spells
| Cleric Level | Spells | 
|:---:|:---:|
| 1st | *detect magic, magic missile* | 
| 3rd | *magic weapon, nystul's magic aura* |
| 5th | *dispel magic, magic circle*  |
| 7th | *arcane eye, leomund's secret chest* |
| 9th | *planar binding, teleportation circle* |

</div>

### 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

\columnbreak

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 (CR) is at or below a certain threshold, as shown on the Arcane Banishment table.

##### Arcane Banishment
| Cleric Level | Banishes Creatures of CR… | 
|:---:|:---:|
| 5th | 1/2 or lower | 
| 8th | 1 or lower |
| 11th | 2 or lower |
| 14th | 3 or lower |
| 17th | 4 or lower |

### Spell Breaker

Starting at 6th level, when you target yourself or another creature with a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points, 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 you and friendly creatures that you can see, as well as the level of those spells.

In addition, when you target yourself or another creature with a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points, that creature 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). Some effects may be relevant to the campaign, and as such it is up to your DM to allow a creature to make a saving throw against an effect this way.

### 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.

\pagebreakNum

## Dragon Domain

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

### Domain Spells

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

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

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

### Draconic Blessing
From 1st level, your god bestows you with the blessing of one of its draconic children. You must choose a dragon from the Draconic Blessing table. The damage type and breath weapon associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later. If you choose Bahamut as your deity, you must choose a metallic dragon (brass, bronze, copper, gold, silver, or steel) for your Draconic Blessing. If you choose Tiamat as your deity, you must choose a chromatic dragon (black, blue, deep, gray, green, red, or white) for your Draconic Blessing. If you choose Asgorath (or another dragon god) as your deity, you can choose any dragon for your Draconic Blessing. Amethyst, crystal, emerald, sapphire and topaz dragons are gem dragons; and celestial, fang, moonstone, and song dragons are their own subspecies of dragon. For game purposes; gem, moonstone, and song dragons count as metallic dragons; while celestial and fang 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.

\columnbreak

##### Draconic Blessing
| Dragon | Damage Type | Breath Weapon |
|:---:|:---:|:---|
| Amethyst | Force | 30 ft. cone (Str. 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) |

| Topaz | Necrotic | 30 ft. cone (Con. 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.

\pagebreakNum

### Channel Divinity: Dragon's Wrath
Starting at 2nd level, as an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to unleash a devastating exhalation of energy; your breath weapon. Your Draconic Blessing determines the size, shape, and damage type of your breath weapon. When you use this breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your Draconic Blessing. A creature takes 3d8 + your cleric level damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one.

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

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

### Shock and Awe
At 17th level, as an action, you can unleash a true dragon's roar that terrifies your enemies and inspires your allies. Choose any creatures that are within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see and hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened  of you for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving  throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect  on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, then the creature becomes immune to your Shock and Awe for the  next 24 hours. In addition, creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you gain advantage on the next attack roll they make within the next minute, provided they can hear you. When you use your Dragon's Wrath Channel Divinity feature, you can use your bonus action to exude a terrifying presence, which causes all the above effects. The difference is that foes and allies (only) need to see you.

**At your DM's discretion, if you are a cleric with the War domain, you gain the Guided Fury feature at 6th level.**

>##### Guided Fury (War Domain)
>*6th-level cleric feature, requires the War divine domain* Your War Priest feature no longer has a limited amount of uses, and you can now also use it when you use your action to cast a spell.

## Scalykind Domain

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

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

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

<div>

#### Restriction: Lizardfolk only
Only lizardfolk can choose this divine domain, though your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign.

### Domain Spells

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

##### Scalykind Domain Spells
| Cleric Level | Spells | 
|:---:|:---:|
| 1st | *cure wounds, divine favor* | 
| 3rd | *blur, enlarge/reduce* |
| 5th | *fear, haste*  |
| 7th | *dominate beast, freedom of movement* |
| 9th | *commune with nature, hold monster* |

</div>

### Swordclaw

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

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

\columnbreak

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 144), 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.

### Dragon Tooth Mastery

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

- When you use your bonus action to make a melee weapon attack, you can command your Dragontooth Warrior to make a single attack with one of its weapons instead of taking the Dodge action. 
- While wielding a swordclaw sickle, your Dragontooth Warrior can use its reaction or yours to protect another creature with its Defender trait, provided your Dragontooth Warrior is within your line of sight.

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

### Divine Strike

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

\columnbreak

### Lizard King

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

As a bonus action, you can transform into a dinosaur with the statistics of a spinosaurus (page 52). Your game statistics, except your mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the spinosaurus. You retain your alignment and personality. You assume the hit points of your new form. You can revert to your normal form 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. You aren't knocked unconscious as long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points. While in your dinosaur form, you can't wield weapons, nor can you use your Channel Divinity feature, but you can issue commands. You can't cast spells while in this form, but you can maintain concentration on existing spells. This form grants you superior camouflage; while you are at least lightly obscured by natural phenomena (such as foliage or mist), you can take the Hide action as a bonus action, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. You have advantage on attack rolls against surprised creatures. You can only speak Draconic while transformed, as this form's anatomy prevents you from speaking any other language. After losing this form, you can transform this way again after finishing a long rest.

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

\pagebreakNum

## Water Domain

Water is essential to creation, but it is also an untamed, destructive force. Gods of nature, tempests, spirituality and healing include water in their portfolios, blessing their followers with the abilities to connect with this primal source of life. Clerics of the Water Domain seek to harmo-nize with their environments, sometimes far away from civilization, but most find a deep compassion in their souls, often taking care of the unfortunate and providing shelter and guidance. However, like the tides, these clerics can turn into  unforgiving figures, proving themselves to be both zealous champions as well as kind protectors of their cause.

This especially holds true for half bronze dragon clerics, among whom this domain is very popular. Like the tides, they can easily turn from compassionate defenders to unforgiving crusaders who relentlessly destroy evildoers.

### 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.

##### Water Domain Spells
| Cleric Level | Spells | 
|:---:|:---:|
| 1st | *create or destroy water, fog cloud* | 
| 3rd | *lesser restoration, rime's binding ice* |
| 5th | *tidal wave, water breathing*  |
| 7th | *control water, ice storm* |
| 9th | *cone of cold, maelstrom* |

>**Variant Half Bronze Dragon:** Some half bronze dragons are blessed by the seas, and are born with innate wis-dom. These half bronze dragons can exchange their +1 Constitution and +1 Charisma ability score increases with a +2 Wisdom score increase instead. If they are a cleric, they can always choose the Water Domain, provided their god's portfolio doesn't conflict with it. Asgorath, god of creation, could have this domain.

### Acolyte of Water

Starting 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 102), and with one of the following skills of your choice: Athletics, Nature or Survival.

### Gift of the Seas

At 1st level, you gain a swim speed of 30 feet, and you can breathe air and water. If you also have a swim speed from another source, or the ability to breathe water from another source, then your swim speed is increased by 20 feet. As an action, you can grant up to 10 creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you these benefits for 1 hour. You can do so 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

\columnbreak

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 120 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 the orb does not encounter a creature it will also disappear.

Once per turn, when you take damage and while you have at least one orb hovering around you, you lose one of your orbs and regain hit points equal to 1d6 + your cleric level. If the damage was dealt by a creature within 5 feet of you, that creature takes cold damage equal to the amount of hit points you regained this way.

### Strength of the Seas

At 6th level, you can channel the strength of the seas into yourself and others. When you or an ally that you can see within 60 feet of you fails a saving throw, you can use your reaction to let them reroll that saving throw. If they reroll the saving throw this way, they must use the new roll. If that creature succeeds on the 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 damage of the effect that forced the saving throw (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.

>**Variant Sea Elf:** Some sea elves are blessed with divine foresight, and are known as Oracles. Sea elves that choose this variant can exchange their +2 Dexterity ability score increase with a +2 Wisdom score increase instead. If they do, they also exchange their Sea Elf Training trait with the Oracle trait:
>
>**Oracle.** You know the *guidance* cantrip. At 3rd level you can cast the *augury* spell once with this trait, and at 7th level you can cast the *divination* spell once with this trait to ask a question to your deity or a different source, and you regain the ability to cast these spells this way when you finish a long rest. You can also cast these spells using spell slots you have of the appro-priate level. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice).

\pagebreakNum

## Circle of the Dragon
Druids of the Circle of the Dragon devote themselves to the natural balance of all dragons, good and evil, as dragons are an integral part of the world. Some join this circle to obtain draconic power, while others worship dragon gods of balance like Asgorath and seek to gain a divine ascension. Regardless, these druids carry with them a flaming passion, and they are known for their extraordinary pride.

### 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. 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 (CR) 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.

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, and the Shadow Dragon template (*Monster Manual* page 84) increases a dragon's CR by 3).

### 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 (like your Wild Shape) do not further expire. While motionless, you must use this feature again after finishing a rest to remain in this form. The damage of your druidic dragon's breath weapon increases to 10d8 at 14th level, and 10d10 at 17th level.

In addition, your natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and 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.

\pagebreakNum

### Druidic Dragon Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of druidic 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 and armor are magically changed to accommodate them.

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

>**Variant Half Green Dragon:** Some half green dragons are more in touch with the natural world and can exchange their +1 Intelligence and +1 Charisma ability score increases with a +2 Wisdom score increase instead. These half green dragons tend towards druidism, as well as other paths that require patience and wisdom.

## Circle of Savagery

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

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

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

#### Restriction: Lizardfolk Only
Only lizardfolk can choose this druid circle, though your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign. 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 challenge rating (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.

\columnbreak

You must maintain concentration on this, as if you were concentrating on a spell, or the creature disappears. However, you only need to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration on this when taking damage once per round. You can also use this feature while you are in your Wild Shape form. 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.

In addition, 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.

## Additional Dinosaurs

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

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

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

Purple Dragon Knights inspire greatness in others by committing brave deeds in battle, and guide their allies to glory with their battlefield experience. The mere presence of a knight in a hamlet is enough to cause some orcs and bandits to seek easier prey. A lone knight is a skilled warrior, but a knight leading a band of allies can transform even the most poorly equipped militia into a ferocious warband. As a knight spearheads an attack, the knight's actions and commands can awaken reserves of courage and conviction in allies that they never suspected they had.

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

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

You can use this feature three times, 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
At 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.

\columnbreak

>##### Imbue Arrow (Arcane Archer)
>*If you are a fighter with the Arcane Archer archetype, you gain the Imbue Arrow feature at 7th level:* Your Arcane Shot feature now has a number of uses equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier or 2, whichever is higher. At 18th level, as part of a long rest you can create an *arrow of slaying* against a creature type of your choice, which lasts until you start a long rest.

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

- **Push the Advantage:** It gains advantage on the attack roll, and it adds your proficiency bonus to the damage roll of the weapon attack.
- **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.

\pagebreakNum

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

### 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. If a creature consumes a lesser potion other than a lesser healing potion it immediately loses any current lesser potion effect that it gained from consuming a lesser potion (as such this does not include the lesser potion effect of the Quartermaster feature). 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). You also count as one size category larger when determining your carrying capacity, due to your experience at carrying supplies around.

### Infuse Scrolls
You have rigorously studied 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. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC of your scrolls and when making a spell attack roll with one:

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

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

</center>

Those who use your scrolls can use these values or their own spellcasting ability modifier and proficiency bonus. You gain scroll slots as you level up in this class, allowing

\columnbreak

you to create a temporary scroll for each slot. As part of a long rest, you can use 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 start a long rest.

##### Supply Specialist Spell Scrolls 
| Fighter Level | Spells Known | Scroll Slots | Spell Level | 
|:----:|:----:|:----:|:----:|
| 3rd | 3 | 1 | 1st | 
| 4th | 4 | 1 | 1st | 
| 5th | 4 | 2 | 1st | 
| 7th | 5 | 2 | 2nd | 
| 8th | 6 | 2 | 2nd | 
| 10th | 7 | 3 | 2nd | 
| 11th | 8 | 3 | 2nd | 
| 13th | 9 | 3 | 3rd | 
| 14th | 10 | 3 | 3rd | 
| 15th | 10 | 4 | 3rd | 
| 16th | 11 | 4 | 3rd | 
| 19th | 12 | 4 | 4th | 
| 20th | 13 | 4 | 4th |

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

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

You can also use normal scrolls, without being restricted by class spell lists or available spell levels. However, if you use a scroll this way instead of using the standard rules, then you must follow the same rules as if you were attempting to use one of your own temporary scrolls.

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

- ***Aid.*** You can administer a single potion to yourself or a willing or unconscious creature within 5 feet of you, granting you or the creature its effect.
- ***Arm and Restock.*** You can give a friendly creature within 30 feet of you any amount of ammunition and a weapon you are carrying. They can immediately equip the weapon and stow or doff any weapons, shields or items they are carrying without spending any actions.
- ***Handyman.*** You can use the Use an Object action.
- ***Here.*** You can give an item, such as a potion or a scroll, to a friendly creature within 30 feet of you.

\pagebreakNum

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

Your skill at making potions also allows you to make their doses much smaller, without losing any of their potency. Potions you have made yourself (lesser and regular) can now be consumed as a bonus action instead of an action.

### Improved Potions
At 10th level, you've improved the process of supplying your adventuring party. You now create the improved version of your lesser potions, as mentioned in their description.

### Resourceful
At 15th level, if you begin combat with no lesser potions prepared, you can scrounge around in your supplies, and prepare one lesser potion of your choice. Once per day after finishing a short rest, you can regain one spell scroll that you prepared at the end of your previous long rest.

### Quartermaster
At 18th level, your close work with your supplies has toughened your body and soul. Your Constitution score is increased by 2, and your maximum Constitution score is 22.

You are always under the effect of one lesser potion of your choice. The lesser potion must have a duration longer than instantaneous. If you choose the Adrenaline Potion, you cannot return to life that way, unless an Adrenaline Potion is administered to you. You can change this effect at the end of a short or long rest. If the effect has a choice of effects, you can also change this choice at the end of a rest.

#### Lesser Potions

***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.*

***Swiftness Potion***
 *(duration, 1 hour)*
 When consumed, this potion enhances the muscles of the adventurer. Their speed is increased by 10 feet. 
 *Improved Potion: Their speed is instead increased by 20 feet for the duration.*

***Warding Potion***
 *(duration, 1 minute)*
 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.*

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

***Tenacity Potion***
 *Prerequisite: 7th-level (duration, 1 minute)*

\columnbreak

When consumed, this potion increases the adventurer's grit. They are immune to the charmed, frightened, and paralyzed conditions for the duration.
 *Improved Potion: Effect duration increases to 1 hour.*

***Adrenaline Potion***
 *Prerequisite: 10th-level (duration, 1 hour*)
 When consumed, the adventurer does not fall unconscious when reduced to 0 hit points for the duration. It still makes death saving throws as normal, and still fails one when it takes damage. If administered to an adventurer that died within the last minute, they return to life with 1 hit point.

## Firearms, Revised

The firearms described here are known as flintlocks due to their unique firing mechanism. The process of reloading such a weapon is complex and time consuming. As such, combatants typically fire off only one or two volleys before ducking into cover or charging into melee combat. You can use these firearms instead of those found in the *Dungeon Master's Guide* (page 268) or other homebrew, but if so you must use the limitations of these heavier firearms. You can only find and use firearms at your DM's discretion.

A firearm cannot be fired unless it is loaded. As an action, you can make a Dexterity check against a firearm's Load DC. If you have proficiency with the firearm, you can add your proficiency bonus to the check. On a success, the firearm is loaded. You can also attempt to load a firearm by spending one of your attacks as part of the Attack action. You automatically succeed at loading a firearm while out of combat. A firearm with the Bayonet property also counts as a two-handed melee weapon that deals piercing damage.

Flintlock firearms are difficult to maintain, as the powder within a loaded gun will gradually turn to sulfuric acid. As such, you can only carry or wield one loaded firearm at the same time, or two if they are both pistols. You can stow one-handed firearms as a free action on your turn. Firearms use bullets, and 10 ammunition costs 3 gp and weighs 2 lbs.

If you have proficiency with the hand crossbow you also have proficiency with the pistol. If you have proficiency with the heavy crossbow you also have proficiency with the rifle. Fighters and artificers have proficiency with all firearms.

##### Firearms 
| Name | Cost | Damage | Load | Weight | Properties |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|:-----------:|:-:|:-:|
| Blunderbuss | 300 gp | 3d8 piercing | DC 10 | 6 lbs. | Range (30/120) |
| Musket | 300 gp | 2d12 piercing | DC 12 | 10 lbs. | Bayonet (1d10), Two-handed, Range (120/480) |
| Pistol | 150 gp | 2d8 piercing | DC 10 | 3 lbs. | Light, Range (30/120) |
| Rifle | 500 gp | 2d10 piercing | DC 15 | 8 lbs. | Two-handed, Range (200/800) |

## Feats

### Firearm Expert

- You gain proficiency with all firearms.
- Attacking at long range or attacking a target within 5 feet of you will not impose disadvantage on your attack rolls with firearms.
- You can attempt to load a firearm as a bonus action.
- When you use the Attack action and attack with a one handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a pistol you are wielding in your other hand.

## Way of the Dragon Turtle

Monks who favor tenacious stances and heavy strikes more than nimble evasion and rapid blows are often trained in the Way of the Dragon Turtle. Recognized for their impressive physiques and unmatched endurance; these martial artists are well known for being kind hearted and eager to help others. These monks believe that every jar of water delivered, and every tree trunk carried, is time spent training. Their fighting style involves keeping foes away from their allies, facing blows with steely resolve, and locking down their opponents with powerful grapples.

##### 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, but 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.

##### Totem of Dragon Strength

\columnbreak

### 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 58).

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.

Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the dragon turtle spirit can't bite another target nor use its steam breath. 
> ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.
>
> ***Steam Breath (Recharge 5-6).*** The dragon turtle spirit exhales scalding steam in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Being underwater doesn't grant resistance against this damage.

## Way of the Drunken Master, Revised

The Way of the Drunken Master teaches its students to move with the jerky, unpredictable movements of a drunk-ard. A drunken master sways, tottering on unsteady feet, to present what seems like an incompetent combatant who proves frustrating to engage. The drunken master’s erratic stumbles conceal a carefully executed dance of blocks, parries, advances, attacks, and retreats. A drunken master enjoys playing the fool to bring gladness to the despondent or to demonstrate humility to the arrogant, but when battle is joined, the drunken master is a maddening, masterful foe.

### Drink like a Demon

Starting at 3rd level, you gain additional proficiencies and other benefits, which you have gained from practicing this unique martial arts. Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer and the antics of a jester. You gain the following benefits:

- You gain proficiency with improvised weapons, which count as monk weapons for you if they lack the heavy and special properties. 
- You gain proficiency in the Performance skill, and with brewer's supplies and the herbalism kit if you don't already have it. Proficiency with the herbalism kit allows you to create potions of healing with the rules in *Xanathar's Guide to Everything* (page 130).
- You can drink a potion or any other drink as a bonus action instead of an action.
- When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon on your turn, you can use your bonus
action to make a grapple check against the target.
- You can use your bonus action to try to pin a creature grappled by you. To do so, make a grapple check. If you succeed, the target is restrained until the grapple ends.

If you possess the Brawler feat (page 136) when you gain this feature (or the Grappler or Tavern Brawler feat), you can immediately exchange it for another feat of your choice.

### Drunken Technique

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to twist and turn quickly as part of your Flurry of Blows. Whenever you use Flurry of Blows, your walking speed is increased by 10 feet until the end of the turn, and you gain the benefits of the Disengage and Dodge action until the start of your next turn.

You can also use Flurry of Blows after you take any action, not just the Attack action. You can move after using your Flurry of Blows, and between making your Flurry of Blows attacks, provided you have enough movement speed.

### For Medicinal Purposes

At 6th level, when you ingest any alcoholic drink you gain advantage on Strength and Constitution checks and saving throws but disadvantage on Intelligence and Wisdom checks and saving throws for the next minute, or until you convert your ingested alcoholic drinks as described below.

You can convert all alcoholic drinks you have ingested, and cause one effect of your choice on that same turn. You can only do so on your own turn and while you are under the effect of an alcoholic drink as described above. You can convert your alcoholic drinks this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have

\columnbreak

no uses available, you can spend 1 ki point to use this feature again. After converting your alcoholic drinks this way, you can immediately choose one of the effects below:

- You can ignite the alcohol within your body as an action and spew it forth as a breath of flame. Roll your Martial Arts die a number of times equal to 2 + your proficiency bonus. Each creature in a 30-foot cone extending from you in a direction you choose must make a Dexterity saving throw. Creatures in the area take fire damage equal to the total number rolled on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one.
- You can use your action or bonus action to regain a number of hit points equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

### Tipsy Sway

Also at 6th level, you can move in sudden, swaying ways. You gain the following benefits:

- **Leap to Your Feet.** When you are prone, you can stand up by spending 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed. In addition, you can use your bonus action to attempt to escape a grapple.
- **Redirect Attack.** When a creature misses you with a melee attack roll, you can use your reaction to cause that attack to hit one creature of your choice, other than the attacker, that you can see within 5 feet of you. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your profi-ciency 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.

### Drunkard's Luck

At 11th level, you always seem to get a lucky bounce at the right moment. When you make an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw and have disadvantage, you can spend 1 ki point to cancel the disadvantage for that roll.

### Intoxicated Frenzy

At 17th level, you gain the ability to make an overwhelming number of attacks against a group of enemies. When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can make up to three additional attacks with it (up to a total of five Flurry of Blows attacks), provided that these additional Flurry of Blows attacks each target a different creature that turn.

\pagebreakNum

## Way of the Four Elements, Revised

You follow a monastic tradition that teaches you to harness the elements. When you focus your ki, you can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend the four elements to your will, using them as an extension of your body. Some members of this tradition dedicate themselves to a single element, but others weave the elements together.

### Bending Arts

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can spirit-ually connect with one or more of the four elements and learn to manipulate its form or “bend” it, using the energy within you, becoming a part of your martial arts style.

You gain a new attack option that you use with the Attack action, a bending strike. This special attack is a melee weapon attack (even though your element is not a weapon) with a range of 10 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage die is equal to your Martial Arts die.

When you take the Attack action on your turn and use a bending strike as part of it, or you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action, you can make one bending strike as a bonus action. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can make two bending strikes instead of two unarmed strikes.

To use a bending strike, you must have at least the **Initiate** mastery rank in that bending strike's element. Each bending strike has additional benefits based on its element:

- **Airbending (Air).** Your bending strike deals bludgeoning damage. If this attack hits a creature one size larger than you or smaller, you can force it to make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, you can push the creature 5 feet in a direction you choose. In addition, if it fails this Strength saving throw, you can choose to forgo the damage of the attack and also knock the target prone.
- **Earthbending (Earth).** Your bending strike deals bludgeoning or piercing damage. You can also make earthbending strikes as ranged weapon attacks with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. At 5th level, you can apply your Stunning Strike to your ranged earthbending strike when you hit a creature.
- **Firebending (Fire).** Your bending strike deals fire damage. When you are directly under the sun, or you are in a hot environment (at your DM's discretion), you can harness the energy of the sun or your surroundings and add half your Wisdom modifier (rounded up) to the damage of your firebending strike.
- **Waterbending (Water).** Your bending strike deals your choice of bludgeoning, piercing, slashing or cold damage. While you are directly under the moon, or you are in a cold environment (at your DM's discretion), you can harness the energy of the moon or your surroundings and add half your Wisdom modifier (rounded up) to the damage of your waterbending strike.

### Disciple of the Elements

Also at 3rd level, you learn magical disciplines that harness the power of the four elements, provided you meet the prerequisites of the discipline. Most disciplines require you to spend ki points, and also require a certain mastery rank or higher in one of the four elements; Air, Earth, Fire, or Water. Some elemental disciplines allow you to cast spells. To cast one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't require material components for

\columnbreak

it. The spell save DC of these spells is equal to your ki save DC, your spell attack modifier for these spells is equal to your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You gain 2 mastery points at 3rd level, and an additional 2 mastery points at 6th level, 11th level, and 17th level, which you must immediately spend to increase your mastery rank in one or more elements. You can either spend 2 mastery points into a single element or spend 1 mastery point into two different elements. The Elemental Mastery Ranks table shows the total number of mastery points you must spend into an element to reach a certain mastery rank in that element. Each mastery rank grants you additional benefits:

#### Air

**Initiate.** You gain a +2 bonus to Dexterity checks and saving throws (this includes Dexterity checks for initiative). 
**Acolyte.** When you use Step of the Wind to Dash, you also gain the benefits of the Disengage action, and vice versa. 
**Adept.** You gain a +1 bonus to your attack rolls, and you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. If you already have resistance to one of these damage types from another source, then you can choose to instead reduce damage of that type by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) after halving the damage. 
**Master.** Your Step of the Wind no longer has a ki point cost.

#### Earth

**Initiate.** You gain a +2 bonus to Strength and Constitution checks and saving throws. 
**Acolyte.** You gain a +1 bonus to AC. 
**Adept.** While you aren't wearing heavy armor, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage dealt to you is reduced by 2 + half your proficiency bonus (rounded down). You reduce damage this way before resistances have been calculated. 
**Master.** The normal range of your ranged earthbending strike increases to 60 feet, and its long range increases to 180 feet. When you use Deflect Missiles you can deflect the attack with the earth. If so, you can use it to deflect a single ranged attack (including ranged spell attacks) against you or an ally within 30 feet of you, but you can't reflect it back.

#### Fire

**Initiate.** Your unarmed strikes and firebending strikes deal an additional 1d4 fire damage. 
**Acolyte.** You can use Flurry of Blows after you take any action, not just the Attack action. 
**Adept.** You gain a +1 bonus to all ability checks, and you gain resistance to fire damage. If you already have resistance to fire damage from another source, then you can choose to instead reduce fire damage by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) after halving the damage. 
**Master.** Your Flurry of Blows no longer has a ki point cost.

#### Water

**Initiate.** 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. 
**Acolyte.** Your hit point maximum is increased by an amount equal to your monk level, and you gain a +2 bonus to Wisdom checks and saving throws. 
**Adept.** You gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws, and you gain resistance to cold damage. If you already have resistance to cold damage from another source, then you can choose to instead reduce cold damage by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) after halving the damage. 
**Master.** Your Patient Defense no longer has a ki point cost.

\pagebreakNum

\pagebreak

You can also specialize into a single element, allowing you to reach even higher mastery ranks as shown on the Elemental Mastery Ranks table below. With these higher mastery ranks you can use more advanced disciplines.

##### Elemental Mastery Ranks
| Mastery Rank | Required Total Mastery Points | 
|:---:|:---:|
| Initiate | 1 |
| Acolyte | 2 | 
| Adept | 3 | 
| Master | 4 | 
| Grand Master | 6 |
| True Master | 8 |

You can spend additional ki points to increase the level of an elemental discipline spell that you cast. For each extra ki point you spend, you increase the spell's level by 1. The spell level can't be higher than 1 + the number of mastery points you have spent into the element associated with that spell.

## Feats

### Avatar
*Prerequisite: 8th level Way of the Four Elements monk*
___
You are on a quest to attain mastery over all four elements. You can take this feat up to four times, but **you can't take this feat if you have a Grand Master or True Master rank in one of the elements, nor can you gain those ranks anymore once you've taken this feat at least once.**

- Increase your Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Each time you take this feat you gain 2 mastery points which you must immediately spend to increase your mastery rank in one or more elements.
- When you reach the Master rank in all four elements, you gain access to the powerful Avatar Form. You can spend 6 ki points as an action to activate this form which lasts for 10 minutes. You can use this feature once, and you regain the ability to do so after finishing a long rest. The Avatar Form grants you the following benefits:

#### Avatar Form
- You have resistance to all damage. In addition, you are immune to cold and fire damage.
- You gain a flying speed and burrow speed equal to your walking speed, and you count as being affected by the *freedom of movement* spell. You can burrow through any earth, which leaves a Large sized tunnel behind you.
- Ranged weapon attacks, made against you or allies with-in 10 feet of you, have disadvantage on the attack roll.
- Whenever you spend ki points, you reduce the ki point cost by 1, down to a minimum of 1 ki point.
- You can use your action or bonus action to create a 15-foot cube of swirling wind centered on a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature in that area must make a Strength saving throw. A creature takes 3d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If a Large or smaller creature fails the save, that creature is also pushed up to 10 feet away from the center of the cube.
- As an action or bonus action you can force creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they are knocked prone.
- You can use your action or bonus action to create a line of fire 60 feet long and 10 feet wide extending from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- You can use your action or bonus action to create a 30-foot cone of freezing water extending from your outstretched hand in a direction you choose. Each creature in the cone must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails its save against this effect has its speed halved until the start of your next turn.

## Way of the Kensei, Revised

Followers of the Way of the Kensei train relentlessly with their weapons, to the point that the weapon becomes like an extension of the body. Founded on a mastery of sword fighting, the tradition has expanded to include many different weapons. Kensei, or sometimes called kensai, see a weapon much in the same way a calligrapher or a painter regards a pen or brush. Whatever the weapon, the kensei views it as a tool used to express the beauty and precision of the martial arts. Through intense devotion, practice, and study, the kensei becomes a peerless warrior. Regardless, kensei can come from many walks of life. While some kensei seek enlightenment, others are warriors who favor speed over strength, such as the famous Eris Greyrat.

### Path of the Kensei

Starting at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. This path also includes instruction in the deft strokes of calligraphy or painting. You gain the following benefits:

- **Kensei Weapons.** You gain proficiency with martial weapons, and any martial weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties counts as a monk weapon for you, as well as the glaive and longbow which lose the heavy property when you use them as monk weapons (these may be known to you by other names, such as guandao or naginata and daikyu). The longsword also counts as a finesse weapon for you (which may be known to you by other names, such as katana). When you use the Attack action to attack with a monk weapon, you can make one additional attack with that weapon as a bonus action.
- **Agile Parry.** While you aren't incapacitated nor wielding a shield, and you are only holding a single melee weapon that lacks the heavy property, you gain a +2 bonus to AC.
- **Way of the Brush.** You gain proficiency with your choice of calligrapher's supplies or painter's supplies.

### One with the Blade

At 6th level, you extend your ki into your monk weapons, granting you the following benefits:

- **Magic Kensei Weapons.** Your attacks with your monk weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- **Deft Strike.** When you hit a target with a monk weapon you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice an additional time, or roll your Martial Arts die, and add it as extra damage of the weapon's damage type. You can only use this feature once per turn. 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. While you have no uses available, you can spend 1 ki point to use this feature again.

### Sharpen the Blade

At 11th level, you gain the ability to augment your weapons further with your ki. As a bonus action, you can expend up to 3 ki points to grant one of your monk weapons you touch a bonus to attack and damage rolls when you attack with it. The bonus equals the number of ki points you spent. If the weapon is a magic weapon that grants a bonus to attack and damage rolls, then the total bonus of the weapon and this feature can't be increased beyond +3 this way. This bonus lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again.

\columnbreak

You can spend 5 ki points to cast the *steel wind strike* spell. Your spell attack modifier equals your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. If you are holding a melee weapon with a bonus to attack and damage rolls or another bonus, you can apply these bonuses to each melee spell attack of the spell. You can only apply the bonuses of one weapon.

### Unerring Accuracy

At 17th level, your mastery of weapons grants you extraordinary accuracy. If you miss with an attack roll using a monk weapon on your turn, you can reroll it. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.

##### Swordmanship and Martial Arts
While some followers of the Way of the Kensei pick up the sword eventually, others practice the arts of the sword from the start. These can be tranquil monks or swordmanship practitioners from any walk of life, favoring speed above strength. As a monk you can gain the **Kensei Weapons** part of the Path of the Kensei feature at 1st level, but if so you must choose the Way of the Kensei subclass at 3rd level, and you cannot make one additional attack with a monk weapon as a bonus action until you've chosen this subclass.

## Way of the Sun Soul, Revised

Monks of the Way of the Sun Soul learn to channel their own life energy into searing bolts of light. They teach that meditation can unlock the ability to unleash the indomitable light shed by the soul of every living creature.

### Radiant Sun Bolt

Starting at 3rd level, you can hurl searing bolts of magical radiance. You gain a new attack option that you use with the Attack action, a sun bolt. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 60 feet. You're proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is radiant, and its damage die is equal to your Martial Arts die. Similar to the bending strike of the Way of the Four Elements monk, when you gain the Extra Attack feature, your sun bolt can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.

When you take the Attack action on your turn and use a sun bolt as part of it, or you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action, you can make one sun bolt attack as a bonus action. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can make two sun bolt attacks instead of two unarmed strikes.

### Searing Fists

Also at 3rd level, your unarmed strikes and sun bolts deal an additional 1d4 radiant damage.

### Searing Arc Strike

At 6th level, you gain the ability to channel your ki into sear-ing waves of energy. Immediately after you take the attack action on your turn, you can unleash radiant fire in a 15-foot cone as a bonus action. Each creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one.

You can spend ki points to increase the damage and range of this arc. For each ki point you spend, you increase the range of your Searing Arc Strike's cone by 5 feet, and increase its damage by an amount equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die. You can spend a maximum of 3 ki points whenever you use this feature.

\pagebreakNum

### Searing Sunburst

At 11th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion. As an action, you magically create an orb and hurl it at a point you choose within 150 feet, where it erupts into a sphere of radiant light for a brief but deadly instant. Each creature in that 20-foot radius sphere must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. Structures in the sphere take full damage from it. You can spend ki points to increase the damage of this sphere. Each ki point you spend increases the damage by an amount equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die. You can spend a maximum of 3 ki points whenever you use this feature. In addition, you can use your bonus action to charge this feature when you use it. If so, when you roll damage for this feature, and you roll a 1 or a 2, you can reroll the die. You must use the new roll.

### Sun Shield

At 17th level, you become wreathed in a luminous, magical aura. You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. You can extinguish or restore the light as a bonus action. While this light shines, whenever a creature hits you with a melee attack you deal radiant damage to that creature equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1), and the damage of your Searing Fists feature increases to 1d8 radiant damage.

## Items

#### Ki Focus of Mighty Blows
*Wondrous Item, uncommon (+1), rare (+2), or very rare (+3) (requires attunement)* 
A necklace, headband or other worn trinket that aids in the alignment of the mind, body and spirit. Some versions of this item are headbands that fully cover the wearer's eyes, yet do not hinder the wearer's vision at all. While wearing this item, your unarmed strikes and natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage, and you gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes and natural weapons which is determined by the item's rarity. If you are a monk then you can also add this bonus to special attacks related to your monk features that don't involve a weapon, a spell, or an unarmed strike (such as the

\columnbreak

sun bolts of the Way of the Sun Soul or the bending strikes of the Way of the Four Elements). If these special attacks deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, then they count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. If you already receive a bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes, natural weapons, or these special attacks, then the bonuses don't stack and you use the highest bonus.

If you are a monk, you can use your action while wearing this item to regain ki points equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die. You can’t use this action again until the next dawn.

> ##### Arcane Tradition: Summoner
>
>Wizards who follow this arcane tradition devote them-selves to finding ways around the limitations of summoning, allowing them to bring their conjured forces to bear with unmatched speed and efficiency.
>___
>**Summoning Savant** Starting at 2nd level, whenever you gain a wizard level, you can replace one or both of the wizard spells you would add to your spellbook with any conjuration spell that summons or creates one or more creatures. The spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Any non-wizard spell that you gain from this feature is considered a wizard spell for you, but other wizards can’t copy those spells from your spellbook into their own spellbooks. Additionally, when you cast a wizard spell that creates or summons one or more creatures, you can cast it without requiring material components (including those that have a cost). You can do so a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.
> **Improved Familiar** At 2nd level, you add the *find familiar* spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast *find familiar*, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or the form of a Medium or smaller beast with a challenge rating as high as 1. In combat, your familiar shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. As a bonus action, you can command your familiar to take an action from its stat block on its turn, which it otherwise cannot do. It gains a fly speed equal to its swim speed (if any), and it can always breathe air. Its Intelligence score becomes 10 if it was lower and it understands any language you know. Starting at 6th level, your familiar can take the form of a Huge or smaller beast. At 10th level your familiar can take the form of a beast with a challenge rating as high as 2, and at 14th level your familiar can take the form of a beast with a challenge rating as high as 3.
> **Adept Summoner** At 6th level, when you cast a wizard spell that creates or summons one or more creatures, the creatures have disadvantage on saving throws you force upon them, and also count as being affected by the *magic fang* cantrip (page 144) using your level for scaling. You can choose to cast such a spell as a bonus action, and you regain the ability to do so after finishing a long rest. **Unbreakable Binding** At 10th level, you no longer need to concentrate on spells that create or summon one or more creatures, except for the *flock of familiars* spell. However, when you cast a spell that creates or summons one or more creatures and normally requires concentration; any spell that also meets these criteria immediately ends. **Master Summoner** Starting at 14th level, any spell you cast that already creates or summons more than one creature, conjures two additional creatures of the same type. All of your created or summoned creatures add your proficiency bonus to their AC and to their attack and damage rolls.

## Way of the Weave

</div>

*“For over a thousand generations, the Silver Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the realms. Before the dark times, before the rise of Tiamat.”*

— Stella Dragonsong
___
Through countless hours of meditation, monks of the Way of the Weave are able to form a connection to the Weave, allowing them to cast arcane spells. These monks are known as Weavers, powerful practitioners of arcane magic who blend martial arts and spellcasting to devastating effect. The Weave is a way through which raw magic can be accessed, and used by casters of magic. It flows through the world, and touches all of existence. Weavers specialize in the schools of divination, enchantment, and transmutation magic. Using divination magic to peer into the expansive knowledge of the Weave, enchantment magic to manipulate the minds of the weak willed, and transmutation magic to alter their bodies and the world around them, they are prepared to meet any threat they may face. They are one with the Weave, and the Weave is with them.

This monastic tradition was founded by a group of half silver dragon Dragonsingers, wizards who use martial might in addition to their powerful magical abilities. This group sought to focus more on the body and the spiritual aspects of magic, and founded several monasteries where they could contemplate and meditate on using arcane magic without disruping the balance of all things. There have since been many branches, most still following the way of righteousness and justice, while others focus more on power and using it to further their own ends. Regardless, most monks of the Way of the Weave still hold strong connections with their Dragonsinger brethren, and often band together to achieve a common goal. These monks are also known as Silver Knights, to honor the half silver dragons that founded their order. Most Silver Knights are famous for being defenders of truth and justice, but those that follow the path of evil are terrible villains. While the color of an arcane saber is different for each Weaver, their alignment often influences the color of the blade. Blue and green are often associated with good aligned Weavers, while red and purple are aligned with those following a darker or more pragmatic path. But sometimes the color is influenced by the type of enchantment on the shortsword or longsword that was transformed into an arcane saber.

##### 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 enchantment spells from the wizard spell list, using the same rules as described above; *bless*, *command*, *compelled duel*, *gift of alacrity*, *guiding bolt*, *heroism*, *pass without trace*, *shield*, *shield of faith*, *witch bolt* (for thematic purposes it is recommended to use the revised *witch bolt* spell on page 103), *immovable object*, *zone of truth*, *beacon of hope*, *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.

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

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

### Arcane Saber
At 3rd level, you learn a ritual that transforms one short-sword or longsword into an arcane saber. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach through-out the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and transform it, returning your previous arcane blade(s) (if any) to normal. The blade disappears, leaving only the hilt. However, while holding the hilt you can ignite the weapon as part of an object interaction (including the object interaction you use to draw the weapon(s)), creating a blade of magical energy.

As part of this transformation, the weapon's damage type becomes force, and you can use your arcane saber as a spellcasting focus for your Way of the Weave spells. You can deactivate the energy blade as an object interaction or when you let go of the hilt (unless you throw your arcane saber and it immediately returns to your hand). This weapon counts as a monk weapon for you, and gains all the benefits as if it were an unarmed strike. For example, if a monk feature grants you additional unarmed strike attacks, you can attack with this weapon instead.

While holding this weapon and not wielding a shield, you can use this weapon for the Deflect Missiles feature against incoming projectiles. If you do, and you would reduce the damage of the missile attack to 0, you can choose not to catch it but immediately reflect it without having to spend any ki points. You can also use the Deflect Missiles feature against projectiles that target an ally within 5 feet of you.

### Advanced Weaver Training
At 6th level, you have mastered the advanced fighting styles of the Silver Knights, granting you additional benefits.

- You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a spell. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).
- As a bonus action you can throw one arcane saber at a creature within 60 feet, causing it to spin with deadly speed as it collides, and allowing you to use the Attack action to attack it. It immediately returns to your hand.
- You can manipulate the Weave to choke or crush helpless enemies. As a reaction, you can deal 1d6 force damage to creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you that are restrained, stunned, or paralyzed. The damage increases by 1d6 each time you use your reaction this way against the same target. The damage resets when the target is no longer restrained, stunned, or paralyzed. This damage increases with your Martial Arts die.
- While holding a one bladed arcane saber with both hands, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
- When performing the ritual to create your arcane saber, instead of a single shortsword or longsword, you can transform two shortswords (or longswords if you possess the Dual Wielder feat on page 136) or a large hilt with two blades (one on each end) instead. While dual wielding these two arcane sabers or holding this large hilt with both blades active, you can use the Flurry of Blows feature without having to spend a ki point, but you must spend a ki point when reflecting projectiles even when reflecting them with your arcane saber. While holding this large hilt with both blades active, you gain all the benefits as if you were dual wielding a separate light melee weapon in each hand, each using the weapon's regular damage dice. You can also choose to activate or deactivate only one blade of the large hilt, and wield it as a one bladed arcane saber instead.

### Flow of the Weave
Beginning at 11th level, you choose a path which matches your interpretation and use of the Weave the most. Choose one of the following benefits:

***Light.*** You learn the *cure wounds* spell, and at 13th level you learn the *aura of vitality* and *revivify* spells, which don't count against your number of wizard spells known. When you use these spells to restore hit points to a creature, that creature regains additional hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).

***Dark.*** You learn the *witch bolt* spell (page 103), which doesn't count against your number of wizard spells known. When you cast it, the damage increases by 2d12, the target becomes stunned instead of restrained on a failed save, and it can still be stunned this way on a successful save.

***Gray.*** You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. The range increases to 30 feet at 17th level.

### One With The Weave
At 17th level, your practiced connection to the Weave grants you the power to freely shape your ki into spells. You can now also cast your spells by spending a number of ki points equal to the spell's level, but you cannot spend more than 5 ki points this way. You learn the 5th-level *animate objects*, *hold monster*, *steel wind strike* and *wall of force* spells, and at 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th level you learn one additional 5th-level (or lower) divination, enchantment, or trans-mutation spell of your choice from the wizard spell list.

## 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 Tenets

Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Draconic Majesty vary, paladins of this oath share the following tenets.

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

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

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

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

### Oath Spells

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

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

### 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 metallic dragons; deep and gray dragons are chromatic dragons; Amethyst, crystal, emerald, sapphire and topaz dragons are gem dragons; and celestial, fang, moonstone, and song dragons are their own subspecies of dragon. For game purposes; gem, moonstone, and song dragons count as metallic dragons; while celestial and fang dragons count as chromatic dragons.

\pagebreakNum

##### Draconic Oath

| Metallic Dragon | Chromatic Dragon | Damage Type |
|:----:|:----|:----|
| Copper, Steel | Black, Fang/Gray  | Acid |
| Silver  | White | Cold |
| Gold, Brass | Red | Fire |
| Amethyst | *none* | Force |
| Bronze, Song | Blue  | Lightning |
| Topaz | *none*  | Necrotic |
| *none* | Green | Poison |
| Emerald | Deep | Psychic |
| Crystal, Moonstone | Celestial  | Radiant |
| Sapphire | *none* | Thunder |

The damage type associated with your Draconic Oath's chosen dragon is used by features of this oath.

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

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

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

**Wing Buffet.** When you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with a wing buffet, and use your Channel Divinity to summon radiant wings that create a strong wind. Each creature of your choice in a 30-foot cone, which originates from you, must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, they are pushed back 20 feet away from you and are knocked prone, and if they encounter a solid obstacle take 1d6 + your paladin level bludgeoning damage.

### Aura of the Dragon Queen

*Chromatic Draconic Oath only*

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

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

### Aura of the Platinum Dragon

*Metallic Draconic Oath only*

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

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

\columnbreak

### Draconic Wings

At 15th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of spectral dragon wings from your back, 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.

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

### Draconic Avatar

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

# Ranger, Revised

## 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.

### Favored Foe (revised)

At 1st level, a ranger gains the Favored Foe feature.

##### Favored Foe
*1st-level ranger feature, which replaces the Favored Enemy feature and works with the Foe Slayer feature*

When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can mark the target as your favored foe for 1 minute. The first time on each of your turns that you hit the favored foe and deal damage to it, including when you mark it, you can increase that damage by 1d4. You can use this feature to mark a favored foe a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. This feature's extra damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, and to 1d8 at 14th level. Creatures that are affected by your *hunter's mark* spell cannot receive this feature's extra damage from you.

In addition, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy. Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as goblins and orcs) as favored enemies. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies (if any).

Your favored enemies always count as being marked as your favored foe, increasing your damage against these enemies as described above. You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language, at 6th and 14th level. As you gain levels, your choices should reflect the types of monsters you have encountered on your adventures. When you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace one of the options you chose as your favored enemy with another of these options available to you.

### Deft Explorer (revised)

On successful save, the creature takes half this extra damage and is not restrained. If the weapon attack made a critical hit, this extra damage will not be increased that way. A creature restrained this way can use its action to make the saving throw again, ending the effect on a success.

You can use this feature once, and you regain the ability to do so after finishing a short or long rest.

\pagebreakNum

## Grim Slayer

Unlike the Monster Slayer, rangers with the Grim Slayer archetype devote themselves to hunting down certain types of monsters. These pragmatic killers come from many backgrounds, and the kind of reputation they they make for themselves is often influenced by the types of creatures they relentlessly hunt down. They could be someone whose sister was murdered by goblins, or a crusader who is on a rampage to slay as many demons as they can, or even a grim vigilante who hunts down criminals. Depending on their prey, they are seen as devoted heroes or obsessed fanatics, and slayers often receive nicknames like Dragon Slayer, Goblin Slayer, Demon Slayer, or just Slayer. Regardless of their reputation however, they are often greatly appreciated by the common folk, as they are willing to do the dirty work that most adventurers shy away from. In a grim world where many people might not meet another sunrise due to the dangers of roaming monsters, it's the Grim Slayer whom the common folk rely on to survive.
___
**This subclass uses the Favored Foe (revised) feature, even if your DM does not use this as a standard feature.**

### 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 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.

\columnbreak

##### Grim Slayer Spells
| Ranger Level | Spells | 
|:---:|:---:|
| 3rd | *wrathful smite* | 
| 5th | *see invisibility* |
| 9th | *spirit shroud* |
| 13th | *freedom of movement* |
| 17th | *hold monster* |

### 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 ranger level.

### 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.*

## Beast Master, Revised

The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the world. United in focus, beast and ranger work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike. Emulating the Beast Master archetype means committing yourself to this ideal, working in partnership with an animal as its companion and friend.

### 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 sent to your beast grove. Your 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 continue to fight for the interests of both the natural and civilized 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.

\columnbreak

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

Starting at 7th level, your beast companions gain one of the following traits of your choice, which can be different for each of your beast companions:

***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 additional 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 does not gain this benefit if it has 0 hit points. In addition, your beast 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 if they share the same name. Starting 15th level, your beast companions gain one more trait of your choice this way.

In addition, the attacks of your beast companion 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.

## Assassin, Revised

You focus your training on the grim art of death. Rogues who adhere to this archetype are diverse: hired killers, spies, bounty hunters, and even specially anointed priests trained to exterminate the enemies of their deity. Stealth, poison, and disguise help you eliminate your foes with deadly efficiency.
___
**NOTE:** *Hiding in combat:* When you attack a creature you are hidden from, either with a ranged attack or by moving forward with a melee attack, your first attack roll gains advantage but also reveals your position (unless you miss it with a ranged weapon attack and you have the Skulker feat). While your position is revealed, you have disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide again. You can only attempt to hide when you are heavily obscured or have at least three-quarters cover, unless specified otherwise.

### 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.

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

### 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 30) 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.

When you force a creature to make a saving throw against a poison you used against it, you can change the poison's DC value to 8 + twice your proficiency bonus.

### 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.

### 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.

\columnbreak

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.

## New Weapons

##### Garrote (Simple Weapon)

| Cost | Damage | Weight | Properties |
|:---:|:-----------:|:-:|:-:|
|  1 sp  | - | 1/4 lbs. | Two-Handed, Finesse, Special |
___
**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).

## Stormscale

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

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

Stormscale are taught how to draw raw magic from their blue dragon heritage, granting them supernatural abilities that allow them to dispatch targets with lightning speed.

### 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 Armor
> Stormscale are skilled at interweaving freely gifted dragon scales into light armor. This light armor gains the benefits of a Dragonfriend's Armor (page 117), except it counts as a studded leather armor and it has a base AC of 13 + Dex modifier.

### 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.

### Stormbringer

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).

## Draconic Bloodline, Revised

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

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

##### Dragon Ancestor

| Dragon | Damage Type |
|:----:|:----|
| Black, Copper, Fang/Gray, Steel  | Acid |
| Silver, White  | Cold |
| Brass, Gold, Red | Fire |
| Amethyst  | Force |
| Blue, Bronze, Song  | Lightning |
| Topaz  | Necrotic |
| Green | Poison |
| Deep, Emerald  | Psychic |
| Celestial, Crystal, Moonstone | Radiant |
| Sapphire | Thunder |

You learn the *primal savagery* cantrip, which counts as a sorcerer cantrip for you. In addition, when you cast the *fire bolt*, *green-flame blade*, *primal savagery*, *burning hands*, *dragon's breath*, *flaming sphere*, *scorching ray*, *fireball*, and *delayed blast fireball* spells, you can choose to change their damage type to the one associated with your dragon ancestor. If changed, they won't ignite objects.

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

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

Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, 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 you already have resistance to the damage type that triggers this spell from another source, then you can instead reduce damage of that type by an amount equal to twice your proficiency bonus after halving the damage. If the damage that triggers this spell is of the type associated with your dragon ancestor, you can cast it without expending a spell slot or spending a sorcery point.

\columnbreak

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

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

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

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

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

#### Draconic Fury
***Prerequisite:*** *Draconic Bloodline sorcerous origin*
___
When you cast the *primal savagery* cantrip, you can spend 2 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 only empower spells of 8th level or lower with this feature. Empowered spells can't exceed 9th level.

#### 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: Class Features

Throughout the history of Dungeons and Dragons the sorcerer class has been known for the flexibility of its spellcasting. In 5th Edition, this is achieved through their Font of Magic and Metamagic features. However, in practice  the sorcerer class has the smallest number of spells known and the most restrictive spell list of any spellcasting class. These optional features give sorcerers more flavor by letting them use their own magical essence instead of a spellcasting focus, and also give them their Spell Versatility feature from Unearthed Arcana back, as well as give several sorcerous origins an expanded spell list known as Origin Spells. This increases their number of spells known, and provides some sorcerous origins with additional features.

### Optional Sorcerer Features

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

##### Sorcerous Essence
*1st-level sorcerer feature* 
 You can cast sorcerer spells without requiring material components, except material components that have a cost.

##### Spell Versatility
*1st-level sorcerer feature* 
 Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one spell you learned from your sorcerer Spellcasting
feature with another spell you can learn from that feature. The new spell must be the same level as the spell you replace.

##### Origin Spells
*1st-level sorcerer feature* 
 You learn additional spells associated with your sorcerous origin when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Origin Spells tables. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know, and it can't be replaced.

##### Divine Soul Origin Spells
| Sorcerer level | Spells | 
|:----:|:----|:----|
| 1st | *guiding bolt, sanctuary* |
| 3rd  | *aid, enhance ability* |

| 3rd  | *invisibility, shadow blade* |
| 5th | *fear, hunger of hadar* |
| 7th | *phantasmal killer, shadow of moil* |
| 9th | *mislead, negative energy flood* |
___
**Shadow Magic, variant:** When you kill a creature with the *negative energy flood* and *finger of death*  spells, it raises a shadow (*MM* page 269) instead of a zombie. Shadows created this way cannot create new shadows on their own.

##### Storm Sorcery Origin Spells
| Sorcerer level | Spells | 
|:----:|:----|:----|
| 1st | *thunderous smite, thunderwave* |
| 3rd  | *gust of wind, shatter* |
| 5th | *call lightning, sleet storm* |
| 7th | *ice storm, storm sphere* |
| 9th | *destructive wave, maelstrom* |
___
**Storm Sorcery, variant:** When you cast a spell that deals lightning or thunder damage or a spell from your Origin Spells feature, that affects creatures that you can see, you can choose which creatures are affected by the spell. You gain proficiency with light armor, shields, and martial weapons. At 6th level, you can cast the *thunderous smite* and *thunderwave* spells without expending a spell slot.

##### 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.

## The Dragon Student
The Dragon Student is an unusual patron, as you are the one teaching it. Your power comes from your dragon student, but it is you who helps it harness this awesome power. Technically this power comes from Io, the dragon primordial of creation, who gifted this power as an other-worldly patron. But it's your dragon student who grants it to you directly. This is why you are more warlock than wizard.

You are a Dragon Master, a student of the Darastrix Academy. At a young age you were bonded with a dragon wyrmling, entrusted to you by its dragon parents. Even though you are a student, you are a master in your own right to your dragon wyrmling, as you teach it to harness its power. Due to the bonding, your wyrmling shares your drive to learn its dragon magic quickly, at the cost of other aspects of its draconic might being weakened. Although you are technically a wizard, the bond that you have made with your dragon has granted you access to its dragon magic, but in exchange your own studies towards the arcane have been limited. However, the ability to delve into the secrets of dragon magic more than makes up for that. Now you and your dragon partner go out on adventures, as you seek to put the power of dragon magic into practice. Most Dragon Masters are human, but half dragons have been known to teach siblings. Brown, celestial, deep, fang, gem, gray, moonstone, song, and steel dragons don't send their young to become dragon students, due to their secretive nature.

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

#### Expanded Spell List

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

##### Dragon Student Expanded Spells
| Warlock Level | Spells | 
|:---:|:---|

| 3rd | *dragon's breath, flaming sphere* |
| 5th | *fireball, lightning bolt* |
| 7th | *freedom of movement, wall of fire* |
| 9th | *bigby's hand, cone of cold* |

</div>

#### 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.

\pagebreakNum

#### Dragon Magic
At 1st level, you and your dragon share the same spell slots, and you can both cast your known warlock spells. However, the damage type of your *eldritch blast*, and all spells that your dragon casts (if and when they deal damage), is changed to the damage type associated with your dragon student, as listed in the Dragon Student table. Your dragon can cast *eldritch blast* as a melee spell attack. Your dragon uses your Charisma modifer for its spells, and shares your spell save DC and spell attack modifiers. Only you can maintain concentration on spells you both cast. Your dragon can cast spells without requiring material components, except material components that have a cost. As an action, you can expend a spell slot to summon your dragon into an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you. You can also summon your dragon's body this way if it has died.

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

#### Gifted Instructor

At 6th level, your firsthand experience with dragon magic has advanced your own studies substantially, and in return you have taught your dragon how to fly.

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

When you cast a Warlock spell yourself that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell and take no damage from the spell.

In addition, your dragon gains a flying speed of 30 feet. While your dragon is carrying a rider, it can't use the flying speed of this feature until you reach 14th level in this class.

> ##### 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.

#### Dragon Magic Mastery

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

Moreover, when you or your dragon cast a spell targeting yourselves, you can also affect the other with the spell if you are within 30 feet of each other.

####     Aerial Superiority

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

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

## Pact of the Dragon

*Pact Boon feature, requires the Dragon Student patron*

When you command your dragon to cast or use a warlock spell, and a creature was hit by this spell (or was hit by an attack roll that was involved with this spell) or a creature failed its saving throw against it, then your dragon gains temporary hit points equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus. It can only gain temporary hit points this way once per turn.

You can now issue a command to your dragon as a bonus action instead of an action, except when you command it to cast or use a spell (the Dragon Rider invocation is an excep-tion to this rule). You can only issue one command per turn.

\pagebreakNum

## Dragon Companion

Each dragon type is unique, and has certain quirks that Dragon Masters should take into account when teaching their dragon student. The alignment mentioned for each dragon type is its racial alignment, but the bond can have an influence on the dragon. In addition, each type of dragon has a unique trait, granting you both additional benefits:

### 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 also eat rotten and spoiled food without any penalties, and is immune to diseases. 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)

While a blue dragon Wyrmling is not as ferocious as a black wyrmling, 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 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)

Brass dragon wyrmlings 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 listen-ing 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* and *comprehend languages* spells at will. While your dragon is under the effect of the *comprehend languages* spell, creatures who speak at least one language can understand the literal meaning of your dragon's words, but your dragon has disadvantage on all Charisma checks against creatures that do not share a known language with your dragon. Additionally, you and your dragon gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill (+2 plus PB in its stat block).

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*, *wall of water*, *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. Your dragon also 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.

\pagebreakNum

### Green Dragon (lawful evil)

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

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

### Red Dragon (chaotic evil)

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

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

### Silver Dragon (lawful good)

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

\columnbreak

always want to know why humanoids act as they do or perform certain tasks. Satisfying your wyrmling's curiosity is one way to form a strong bond with it. The wyrmling also has an insatiable need to help others, and likes being appreciated. Silver dragons also love to fly, so keep in mind that the bond's 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, and can walk over icy and cold sur-faces 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*, *rime's binding ice*, 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).

## New Eldritch Invocations

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

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

\columnbreak

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.

## Dracolich Initiate

</div>

*“I never blamed my parents, they only did what any parent should, protect their child. Unfortunately, sometimes parents do all the wrong things for all the right reasons.”*

— Zehir Dragonsong
___
Although every half dragon has the potential to become a mighty dragon, their early lives are fragile. Some more than others. There are some diseases that magic, arcane or divine, can not heal. Or whose methods of healing are outside the reach of those who need it. Sometimes the parents will go to any length to save the life of their child, as it threatens to lose its hold on this world. Those truly desperate will seek out blue dragons or half blue dragons to request an altered Dracolich Brew. Although the brew that they attain is nowhere near the potential of the normal brew used to create dracoliches, its altered and watered down form does grant those that drink it immunity against any diseases. In exchange however, it slowly kills those who take it, forcing them into a life of arcane study if they wish to "live". Through these studies, these desperate wizards hope to understand and use the effects of the altered Dracolich Brew to transform into a lich before the brew kills them. Most dracolich initiates are half blue dragons, but any half dragon can take this option. Those that follow this path are not necessarily evil, however those that work for Tiamat can again experience the mortal pleasures they lost before, making it tempting to join her dark path. Those that don't follow Tiamat often become content with the study of the arcane and attaining power and knowledge.

#### 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.

##### Dracolich Initiate

You are immune to diseases, and when not wearing armor and not wielding a shield you can calculate your AC as 10 + Your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier.

\columnbreak

You know the *primal savagery* cantrip. For you, this cantrip counts as a wizard cantrip. Once per turn, when you deal damage to one or more creatures (of CR 1/4th or higher if they are non-player creatures) with your breath weapon or *primal savagery* cantrip, you regain a number of hit points equal to your proficiency bonus, provided you have no more than half your maximum hit points remaining.

### School of Necromancy, Revised

#### Necromancy Savant

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and time you must spend to copy a necromancy spell into your spellbook is halved. The *inflict wounds*, *speak with dead*, and *harm* spells count as wizard spells for you.

#### Grim Harvest

At 2nd level, you reap life energy from creatures with your spells. Once per turn, when one or more creatures fail a saving throw against or are hit by one of your 1st level or higher spells, or you kill one or more creatures with such a spell, you regain hit points equal to twice the spell's level, or three times its level if the spell belongs to the School of Necromancy. This feature can't target constructs or undead.

#### Undead Thralls

At 6th level, you can mentally command undead creatures you control and can see without spending any actions. In addition, you add the *animate dead* and *summon undead* spells to your spellbook if they are not there already. When you cast *animate dead*, you can target one additional corpse or pile of bones, creating another undead, as appropriate. You can also cast this spell on one non-humanoid corpse, provided its number of hit dice are equal to or lower than your level. It retains its statistics, and gains the zombie NPC feature (*Dungeon Master's Guide* page 282). You can only control one corpse animated this way at a time. The zombie mentioned in this subclass references the standard zombie, and not this animated corpse. The grave bolt ranged spell attack of your *summon undead* spirit counts as a weapon.

When you create an undead using a necromancy spell, it has additional benefits (except for the mob of zombies):

- The creature's hit point maximum is increased by an amount equal to your wizard level.
- The creature adds your proficiency bonus to its weapon damage rolls.

#### Dreadful Summoner

Also at 6th level, you can create a pocket dimension where you can store your undead minions. As an action, you can send any number of undead you control and can see into this dimension, or summon any number that are already there into unoccupied spaces within 60 feet of you. If you lose control over an undead while it is in this pocket dimen-sion, it will appear into an unoccupied space closest to the space where they were before being sent to this dimension. You can choose to destroy an undead you created when you lose control over it while it is in this dimension. You can also use your action this way to store (or summon back) any number of corpses or piles of bones that you can see within 60 feet of you within this dimension. Undead you control can take their turn on your initiative instead of their own.

#### 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.

\pagebreakNum

In addition, whenever you create an undead using a necromancy spell, it has additional benefits:

- If the creature is not a mob of zombies, it gains the Undead Fortitude trait. If it already has this trait, then the DC of its Undead Fortitude is reduced by 5 instead.
- It can calculate its AC as 10 + your proficiency bonus, provided it is not a zombie or mob of zombies. This amount can not be increased by any armor or shield.

___
As an action, you can combine four zombies you control and can see into a mob of zombies that you control (if each zombie is within 5 feet of another of those zombies), or

>**Undead Fortitude.** If damage reduces the undead to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the undead drops to 1 hit point instead.

separate the mob if you can see it and it has its maximum hit points. Any wounds the zombies have are transferred to the mob. When the mob is killed, all zombies that were combined in it are destroyed. If you lose control over a zom-bie in the mob, you lose control over the mob of zombies.

#### Command Undead

Starting at 14th level, you can use magic to bring undead under your control, even those created by other wizards. As an action, you can choose one undead that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. If it succeeds, you can't use this feature on it again for the next 24 hours. If it fails, it becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands until you use this feature again.

Intelligent undead are harder to control in this way. If the target has an Intelligence of 8 or higher, it has advantage on the saving throw. If it fails the saving throw and has an Intelligence of 12 or higher, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of every day until it succeeds and breaks free.

## Wyrm Wizard

*“Each true dragon is like a library full of books so old their titles have been forgotten. Most would pay dearly for a chance to plunder such a resource, but only few have the key to the library doors.”*

— 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.

### Knowledge of the Wyrm

You spend a great deal of time exploring the depths of a dragon's magical knowledge, giving you a distinct advantage over spellcasters who do not have the benefit of draconic tutelage. Starting at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana 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 Arcana. Additionally, you can now speak, read and write Draconic. Whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

You learn one 1st-level spell of your choice from any spell list, which becomes a wizard spell for you and which you always have prepared without having to add it to your spellbook. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell. You learn an additional spell from any spell list this way when you reach 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th level in this class. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 4th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level from any spell list. From 10th level on, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you gained through this feature, and replace it with another spell from any spell list. It must be a 5th level or lower spell. You cannot add these spells to your spellbook or other spellbooks, and as such you cannot use these spells for the Spell Mastery and Signature Spells features.

### Draconic Discovery

At 2nd level, you make startling discoveries into the nature of magic thanks to the unique insight of your dragon mentors. Once per turn, when you cast a 1st level or higher

\columnbreak

spell, you can empower it and cast it at a spell level that is one level higher, provided the spell grants additional benefits when you cast it at a higher spell level. 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. You can only empower spells of 8th level or lower with this feature. Empowered spells can't exceed 9th level. For example; a 5th level wizard casting the *magic missile* spell with a 3rd level spell slot can empower the spell with this feature to upcast it as though they had cast a 4th level magic missile instead (even though they don't have 4th level spell slots), creating six magic darts of force instead of five.

### Convert Counterspell

At 6th level, you become a master at countering the spells of enemy spellcasters. You add the *counterspell* and *dispel magic* spells to your spellbook if they are not there already. In addition, you can cast both of these spells once at their lowest level without expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so after finishing a long rest.

Whenever you successfully end a spell with *counterspell* or *dispel magic*, or you reduce a creature (of challenge rating 1/4th or higher if it is a non-player creature) to 0 hit points with a 3rd level or higher spell, you regain one use of your Draconic Discovery feature. You can regain a use of your Draconic Discovery feature this way a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up), which resets after you finish a long rest.

### Break Spell Resistance

At 10th level, you gain great insight into the way creatures naturally resist magic by studying the magical defenses of dragons. When you force a creature to make a saving throw against one of your spells, it cannot have advantage on that saving throw. Creatures that attempt to counter, dispel, or otherwise end, any spell cast by you have disadvantage on ability checks to do so (if any).

In addition, you can expend one use of your Draconic Discovery feature to cast a spell from your spellbook that you do not have prepared. You must still expend the necessary spell slot(s) and provide any necessary materials required to cast the spell normally. Starting at 14th level, you can expend two uses of Draconic Discovery to cast a 5th level or lower spell you do not know from any list. It is cast at its lowest level, can't be upcast in any way, and you must expend the appropriate spell slot(s) and provide any necessary materials required to cast the spell normally. Additionally, at 14th level, you can instead expend three uses of Draconic Discovery to cast a 6th, 7th, or 8th level spell this way with the same restrictions, but afterwards you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

### Wyrm Sage

At 14th level, you have completed your training under your dragon mentors. You have defied the slander that you were a dragon slave, 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.

**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.

#### Feature: An Eye for Treasure
You’ve seen your fair share of treasure over the years, as many half dragons (and those raised among them) tend to have the same love for treasure as all dragons have. You can use your knowledge of luxurious goods to help identify worth (but not magical properties) and to bargain a fair selling or buying price from shopkeepers. With time others may seek out your knowledge of antiquities, and your knowledgeable view is valued by those of high society.

#### 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.

___
The culture of each half dragon subrace varies, due to the influences of their dragon bloodlines.

**Black:** Half black dragons tend to be survivors in an ever changing world, willing to use any trick they can to thrive. They have also found an appreciation for metal working, creating tools of war unmatched by most other races.

**Blue:** Half blue dragons tend to serve their full blooded kin, working as Stormscale agents or sorcerers to aid them. Even so, they interact a lot with mortal societies, using their draconic charms to negotiate prices when trading, and their skill at disguises to complete their missions.

**Brass:** Half brass dragons love interacting with other races and cultures, and their communities often bring forth great intermediates, as well as gifted paladins.

**Bronze:** Half bronze dragons tend to build mighty cities out of stone, usually near bodies of water, and often have strict yet fair laws. Sharks are a delicacy among them. Their communities often raise relentless yet just crusaders, and they are the most militaristic of the half dragons.

\columnbreak

**Celestial:** Celestial dragons are worshipped in eastern cultures, yet most half celestial dragon communities seem to exist outside such nations. These communities often raise many gifted monks, rangers, and sorcerers.

**Copper:** Half copper dragons tend to be more carefree, and they have a reputation for making riddles and playing pranks. Their communities are often lively yet chaotic.

**Gold:** Half gold dragons have an affinity towards magic and the divine, and many renowned clerics and monks were raised in their communities. The worship of Asgorath and Bahamut, as well as the Arcana and Dragon domains, are popular among clerics that come from such communities.

**Green:** Half green dragon communities are well hidden, and they often produce skilled manipulators or reclusive and wise druids, depending on the half green dragon.

**Red:** Half red dragons are infamous for their mighty and deadly raiders, who sail on their longboats across the sea and river beds to raid and pillage. Many however are peaceful, but still enjoy testing their mettle against others.

**Sapphire:** Half sapphire dragon communities are reclusive, and often underground. Those that make contact with other races prefer to trade with gnomes and dwarves. These communities often produce gifted psychics, and wage war against mindflayers wherever they find them.

**Silver:** Half silver dragons are often found in human villages and cities, either living among them (in disguise or as half dragons), or in their own conclaves. They love humanity's drive and how it forces them to action.

**Steel:** Many half steel dragons are unaware of their true heritage, as their appearance is that of a (half) human from birth if they live among humans. Those that are aware are part of a secret organization known as the Confluence.

**White:** Half white dragons are survivors whose tribes try to steer away from other cultures, unless those cultures encroach on their (often expanding) territories. Their societies are less developed compared to those of the other races, as they tend towards tribalism.

## How to Train Your Dragon

Sometimes your party might come across a true dragon hatching, and convince it to tag along with you for food and company. And over time, this dragon can bond with you and try to aid you on your quest to the best of its ability. The following rules will allow you to take such a dragon hatchling with you on your adventures, using the sidekick rules from *Tasha's Cauldron of Everything* (page 142). You can read about the quirks of these dragons under Dragon Companion (page 79), under the additional dragon types (page 124), and in *Fizban's Treasury of Dragons*. You can also use these rules to play as a full blooded dragon your-self, by using the statistics of a dragon hatchling, and being able to become a wyrmling later on during your adventures.

### Dragon Hatchlings as Sidekicks
You can use the statistics for dragon hatchlings (page 95) 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:

#### Breath Weapon
The dragon calculates the DC of its breath weapon as 8 + its proficiency bonus + its Constitution modifier. At 3rd level, the damage of its breath weapon increases by one damage die (2d6 becomes 3d6, 4d10 becomes 5d10 etc). The damage of its breath weapon increases by an additional damage die at 5th level, 11th level, and 17th level.

#### Natural Armor and Weapons

The dragon can't wield weapons or shields, but it can attune to magic armor and magic melee weapons (without the thrown property). Once attuned, the dragon can merge the item with its body. If so, it grants the dragon the magical bonuses of that item (but not the standard AC or weapon damage dice of the armor or weapon), which it can add to its natural armor or its natural weapons. This will make its natural armor and weapons count as magical.

#### They Grow Up Fast

Due to living a challenging lifestyle, the dragon hatchling will mature faster than other dragon hatchlings. When it reaches a sufficient sidekick level, it will grow into a dragon wyrmling. This will replace its base dragon hatchling game statistics with the game statistics of a dragon wyrmling of the same dragon type (see page 124, the *Monster Manual*, or *FToD*), with the exception that the white wyrmling will gain an Intelligence score of 10 and a Charisma score of 13. In addition to Dexterity and Charisma, its new form grants it proficiency in Constitution and Wisdom saving throws, or different ones if it already has those proficiencies (your choice). The level at which the dragon will grow into a dragon wyrmling of the same type is equal to three times the challenge rating (CR) of that dragon wyrmling (a silver dragon wyrmling counts as a dragon with a challenge rating of 3 for this feature). It retains all ability score increases and adds these to its new dragon wyrmling game statistics.

\columnbreak

### 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, they are among the most unique of adventurers. Players that want to play as a dragon can play a dragon hatchling sidekick, by using the rules as listed before, and also gain the following extra benefits:

- Two of your ability scores aside from Charisma (of your choice) increase by 2. This boon transfers to your dragon wyrmling form when you reach the appropriate sidekick 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 (and DC if any) 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 the DC of your breath weapon 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 117) out of your scales within one week, instead of the month it usually takes.

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. Dragon sidekicks with the Shadow Dragon template (*Monster Manual* page 84) won't have the challenge rating of their game statistics increased by 3, but they must give up an Ability Score Improvement to gain the Living Shadow trait. Their Shadow Breath can only raise shadows at 9th level, and shadows created this way cannot reduce Strength nor create new shadows on their own. You must have your DM's permission to play a shadow dragon.

\pagebreakNum

### Optional: Young Dragon Sidekick

At your DM's discretion, a dragon wyrmling sidekick can become a young dragon of the same type at a level equal to twice that young dragon's CR, similar to growing into a wyrmling but from a wyrmling into a young dragon instead. You will need an in game explanation for its sudden growth. A party can gain a young dragon sidekick if their level is at least twice its CR, or you can start as one if your starting level is at least twice its CR, with the rules as listed before but using that young dragon's game statistics from the start (a party can also gain a wyrmling sidekick this way (or you can start as one) if their level is at least three times its CR).

## Dragon Hatchlings

The age of dragon hatchlings is around 0 to 2 years, but dragon hatchlings who join adventuring parties will mature much faster. Dragon hatchlings are too young to use their second breath weapon (if any), and their breath weapon will not cause additional effects (if any). Dragon sidekicks (hatchlings, wyrmlings, and young dragons) with a burrow speed can only burrow as part of the Hide action. This lets them burrow just below the surface, and afterwards they can burrow at their burrow speed until they re-emerge as a bonus action while near the surface. Like other dragons with a burrow speed, dragon sidekicks cannot burrow through solid rock, unless they have the Tunneler trait or a similar trait. While the dragon sidekick is burrowed just below the surface; its vision, breathing, and hearing is unhindered, it has three-quarters cover, and creatures suffer a -5 penalty to their ability checks to find it. The dragon sidekick cannot interact with the surface while burrowed, nor can it burrow this way while carrying a rider.

## Revised and Additional Elven Feats, Items and Traits

These feats, items, and traits are meant to give more options to elven players, as well as to players overall.

## Feats

### 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 these two spells in this way when you finish a long rest. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice). 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 (page 102), then you also gain advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

### 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 102), ignoring the trait's requirements.

### Revenant Blade (revised)
*Prerequisite: Elf or Triton (see Greater Tapal on page 122)*
___
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 use a double-bladed scimitar as part of the Attack action and 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. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice). 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.

## Items

#### Coral Armor
*Armor (breastplate, half plate, or plate)*, 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.

Rarity | Attack/Damage bonus | Saving Throw DC
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| Uncommon | +0 | 12
| Rare | +1 |13
| Very Rare | +2 |14

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

Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral weapon loses the heavy property (if any). If the weapon does not have the two-handed property, it gains the light and finesse proper-ties. These weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Magic weapons made out of mithral have their cost increased by 300 gp instead of increasing their rarity.

## Variant Rules for Traits

With your DM's permission, elves (and other races) can benefit from the following variant rules:

##### Variant rule: Learned

If a racial trait of a subrace allows you to speak, read, and write one extra language of your choice (such as the Extra Language trait of the high elf), then you can also learn an extra language of your choice this way every 4 levels (pro-vided the trait does not already grant you a similar effect).

##### Variant rule: Reverie

When a young elf enters a trance, or reverie, they can experience memories from their past lives. Adult elves can enter a trance to remember these memories, or those of their current life. If a racial trait of an elven subrace grants you proficiency with weapons, you can choose to forgo that trait and gain the following benefit: Whenever you finish a long rest using your Trance trait, you gain two proficiencies, each one with a weapon or a tool of your choice (selected from the “Equipment” chapter of the *Player’s Handbook*), which you retain until you finish your next long rest.

##### 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.

\pagebreakNum

### Dark Elf (Drow)

With your DM's permission, if you are playing an elf (drow) or a dwarf (duergar) with the Sunlight Sensitivity trait, you can exchange it with the Sensitive Eyes trait. If you are playing an elf (drow), you gain Drow Spell Resistance as an additional racial trait, provided you have the Sensitive Eyes trait (if you lack the Sunlight Sensitivity trait, you must also choose the Sensitive Eyes trait to gain this additional trait).

##### Sensitive Eyes
*Drow or Duergar racial trait, replaces Sunlight Sensitivity*
 While in sunlight, you have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

##### Drow Spell Resistance
*Drow racial trait, requires Sensitive Eyes*
 You have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

>**Trident, variant** 10 gp | 1d8 piercing | Thrown (range 20 /60), Versatile (1d10). You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with this weapon against underwater targets. The three tips help you deal with the refraction of water.

\columnbreak

### Sea Elf

With your DM's permission, if you are playing an elf (sea), you gain Net Mastery as an additional racial 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 upgrade nets and add your PB to their AC/DC.
___
You can repair destroyed nets and upgrade nets as part of a rest. If a net 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.**

\pagebreak

### Wood Elf

With your DM's permission, if you are playing an elf (wood) with a strong connection to the night, you can exchange your Mask of the Wild trait with the Shadowmeld trait.

##### Shadowmeld
*Wood elf racial trait, replaces the Mask of the Wild trait*
 You can attempt to hide while you are lightly obscured by shadows (dim light), and even hide this way if you are within a creature's Darkvision, provided you remain stationary.

## Sword Dancer of Eilistraee

Sword Dancers are specialized priestesses of Eilistraee. Unlike clerics, their bond to the Dark Maiden goes deeper as their very souls are blessed by her divinity. Only female elf and half-elf sorcerers can choose this sorcerous origin.

##### Sword Dancer of Eilistraee Origin Spells (pg. 82)
| Sorcerer level | Spells | 
|:----:|:----|:----|
| 1st | *cure wounds, magic missile* |
| 3rd  | *moonbeam, spiritual weapon* |
| 5th | *beacon of hope, spirit shroud* |
| 7th | *aura of purity, freedom of movement* |
| 9th | *commune, steel wind strike* |

### Chosen of Eilistraee
You gain proficiency with longswords, which are considered to have the finesse property for you. 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 can learn spells from the cleric spell list as if they were sorcerer spells. You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics and Performance skills.

### Spellsong
At 1st level, if you are not wearing armor or using a shield, you can awaken your Spellsong. You can start the Spellsong as a bonus action, and dismiss it at any time (no action re-quired). It lasts for 1 minute, but ends early if you're incapa-citated, if you don armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a 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. While your Spellsong 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 a +2 bonus to your AC while wielding a melee weapon.

### Sword Dance

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

### 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.

### Sword Song

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

## Revised Spells

#### 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.

# Dragons

Dragons are among the most powerful creatures of creation, and rightfully feared for their might. Each dragon type is different, and has its own personality traits. Nevertheless all dragons, even the metallic dragons, have a part in their brain that makes them fully believe that their race is the superior one without question, debate or hesitation. As such dragons tend to be prideful at best, and arrogant at worst. Nevertheless they have had the most impact of any creature, aside from the gods and other divine beings, upon the realms. Below is a summary of the general personality of each dragon race. Although each dragon is of course unique, they do share certain strong traits among their own race, which are then passed on to those mortal races that share their blood, albeit in a lesser manner. Regardless, dragons make for either powerful allies, or deadly foes.

The dragons detailed here are the standard ones found in the *Monster Manual* on page 86. For more details on the other dragon types that are mentioned in this work, you can find their statistics in either *Fizban's Treasury of Dragons* or in this work on page 124.

#### 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 a 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.

\columnbreak

#### 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 than other dragons they are still dragons, and when compared to most non-dragons they are still at the top of the food chain.

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

### Dragonborn

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

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

#### Relationship with other races

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

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

\columnbreak

___
for them, but generally tolerate it while simultaneously relying heavily upon their unorthodox way of fighting and high numbers.

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

#### Ironscale Legions

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

\pagebreakNum

In addition, most dragonborn feel that one must prove themselves through their own skill, instead of relying so heavily upon a deity. Nonetheless, within the Ironscale Legion, results are ultimately what matter.

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

#### Relationship with the Dragon Gods

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

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

### Dragonforged

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

\columnbreak

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

> ##### 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.

Whenever you become stabilized you immediately regain 1 hit point.

### Half Dragon

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

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

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

In addition, half dragons live a lot longer than dragonborn, being able to live almost a millennium, and surpassing the age of elves. Despite this, they often have more children than elves do, and as such are a fast expending race, almost as fast as dragonborn. The only thing keeping this race in check from overwhelming areas are the many conflicts they tend to have. Not because they are necessarily violent (though in the case of some half dragon subraces this is indeed the case), but because they are a prideful race that doesn't shy away from a challenge and often meets it head on. Combined with the half dragon

\columnbreak

race its desire to become stronger and seek out challenges, they tend to live dangerous lives. In order to expand and increase their survival changes, half dragons usually spend the early parts of their long lives rearing and raising children, and will only adventure once they feel they have experienced this kind of life long enough, potentially leaving their current children into the care of their spouse or families. Their long lives allow them to experience both lifestyles, and it isn't uncommon for a half dragon adventurer to have children waiting at home, or to return to a life of family once their adventuring lives are behind them. However, despite their claims, their adventuring lives are never truly left behind, as their racial drive to become stronger often pushes them back into it once more. Despite this, half dragons are a race with strong individuals, and some start their lives as adventurers instead. The pull towards worthwhile challenges taking priority for them.

Alongside half silver dragons, half blue dragons, and half bronze dragons, half red dragons are among the most numerous of half dragons. This has baffled many scholars, as red dragons do not have the love for humanity that silver dragons have, nor the organization and family bonds of blue and bronze dragons. In addition, red dragons are infamous for their pride and desire to make achievements without the help of others. And ironically, while half red dragons have the strongest desire out of all the half dragons to become stronger, they do work very well together. They are known as sea coast raiders, who pillage while sailing their longboats. While this is partially true, there are also more peaceful half red dragon tribes. Half red dragons generally believe that they were formerly human tribes, who sought to create more half red dragon tribesmen to give them an edge in their many wars. They did this through temporary forged alliances with red dragons, whom they bought with gold and treasure. Over time their dominant genes spread, creating entire tribes of half red dragons. Among these tribes, sorcerers that practice Storm Sorcery are revered. These sorcerers are blessed by the storms (page 82) and use their magic to safely guide their people's longboats on their long journeys, and are also capable combatants who can hold their own in battle. Those half red dragon Storm Sorcerers that have done a great deed for their people will often be gifted a Sorcerous Hammer, through which they can channel their spells (page 81). Another way to show your worth is by becoming a renowned warrior, and berser-kers are considered to be among the greatest of warriors.

\pagebreakNum

**At your DM's discretion, if you are playing a barbarian who has chosen the Path of the Berserker, you gain the Tireless Rage feature at 3rd level.**

>##### Tireless Rage (Berserker)
>*3rd-level barbarian feature, requires the Berserker primal path* Whenever you would gain a level of exhaustion, you must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you do not gain the level of exhaustion. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, it resets to 10. In addition, you ignore all effects of any levels of exhaustion you have while you are raging.

There are also groups of half dragons that work together with their full-blooded kin. The most notable of those are the half silver dragons, who are often raised in human settlements by their silver dragon family. These children are often the result of the silver dragon's fascination with humans, resulting in unions that create half silver dragons.

Half blue dragons on the other hand are often created by blue dragon families as a means to create plentiful and loyal troops to serve them. Despite this ulterior motive, blue dragons are surprisingly good parents, treating their half and full-blooded offspring with equal affection. This generally results in half blue dragons being loyal agents of their families. The family always comes first, even if it means defying Tiamat. Despite being chromatic dragons, blue dragons are more likely to be mocking and manipulative than outright cruel or murderous to "lesser" creatures, which is why they love using hallucinations on travelers. Because the dragons themselves already provide the brute strength to their forces, half blue dragons often become Stormscales; specialized warriors who perform key tasks. These include taking out spellcasters, who pose the biggest threat to their full-blooded kin, assassinating key leaders, or using their incredible speed to surprise foes and take them head-on. They are loyal to their full- blooded dragon kin, to the point that blue dragons trust them enough to let them be hired by those with sufficient gold. They are greatly feared by even the most powerful of wizards, as more than one spell caster has met a grizzly demise at the hands of a Stormscale.

\columnbreak

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

## Feats

### Mage Slayer (revised)
You have practiced techniques in melee combat against spellcasters, gaining the following benefits:

- 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 automatically know the type of spell and its spell level.
- 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.  If that attack hits, you can also force the target to make a Constitution saving throw in order to successfully cast the spell. The DC equals 10 + your proficiency bonus or half of the damage the creature takes from the attack, whichever is higher. On a failure, the creature's spell fails and has no effect. You can force a creature to make a saving throw this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.
- 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.

\pagebreakNum

#### Relationship with other races

Half dragons get along well with dragonborn, as they share similarities with this draconic race. However, unlike dragonborn, half dragons tend to be more individualistic due to their stronger ties to their draconic ancestry, despite their more humanoid appearance. Half dragons are well accepted within dragonborn communities, despite them having long tails, even though it is seen as a bad omen for a dragonborn to have a tail at all. Dragonborn see half dragons as fundamentally different, despite the similarities, and that would explain their tolerance for their tails.

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

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

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

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

#### Blessed by the Dragon Gods

Most half dragons only possess a draconic tail and lower body, along with several scales on their upper bodies. However, there are also those who are blessed by the dragon gods (usually Bahamut or Tiamat) and are granted draconic wings. These blessings seem to be given at random, as even the most devout followers of Bahamut will find it unlikely that they would be blessed with them. However, half silver dragons who live in high altitudes seem to gain them more often than not. Those who are granted this blessing will often start with smaller or weaker wings, which need time to properly grow in size or strength.

**NOTE:** With your DM's permission, if you are playing a half dragon, you can start at 1st level with the Wings trait of the dragonborn (page 7). However, if you do, you must choose the Draconic Heritage (Half Dragon) feat (page 21) the first time you reach a level that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature.

### Zekyl (Elf)

The zekyl (also known as zekylynor) are the offspring of shadow dragons and their drow partners. The shadow dragons of clan Jaezred created the zekyl as a slave race, until they eventually rose up against their full shadow dragon masters, and formed the secret patriarchal organization known as Jaezred Chaulssin. Now they seek to destroy drow society from within and end the oppressive and cruel matriarchy that Lolth has forced upon the drow race. Though their reasons are less benign, as they seek to rule over all of drow kind themselves, while secretly living among them.

\pagebreakNum

As they grow stronger, they are able to ascend to dragonhood in a similar manner as half dragons are, and will become known as draa'zekyl or drow-dragons (not to be confused with the drow-dragons (half-deep), which are an entirely different elven subrace). However, due to the influences of the Shadowfell on their bloodline, as well as the effects of the faerzress in the Underdark, they are not truly half dragons themselves, as they are genetically closer to their elven lineage. Which is why, when ascended, they consider themselves to be an entirely different species.

Due to the chaotic influences of the Shadowfell, their appearance varies, but they always share some draconic characteristics. Some might look like normal half dragons, while others could have less draconic traits (such as drow legs) or even more draconic traits; such as a full dragon's head. Their shadow touched nature allows them to change their appearance, enabling them to infiltrate drow society from within. They are also far more likely to develop wings than regular half dragons are, which scholars believe is due to the influences of the Shadowfell instead of a deity. The zekyl are led by their ascended kin, now called drow-dragons, who genuinly care for them as a family. Because of this strong bond, most zekyl have a strong sense of loyalty to the drow-dragons that govern over them. Yet some Zekyl follow the deities Vhaeraun and Eilistraee, whom they consider allies against Lolth. While others become adventurers, and seek to leave the Underdark all together.

### Drow-Dragon (Elf)

Also commonly called half deep dragons, the drow-dragons (half-deep) are born from a union between a drow and a deep dragon (also known as a purple dragon), or are descendants from such unions. These elves are not to be confused with zekyl who have ascended to dragonhood and also call themselves drow-dragons. Drow are the only creatures with whom the deep dragons interact, and form alliances with, while the drow are willing to tolerate the deep dragons for their shared interests. The skincolor of drow-dragons (half-deep) is a deep maroon, which many believe is due to the influence of the faerzress of the Under-dark, which also causes them to be more elven than half dragon. Their appearance is a little less chaotic than that of the zekyl, as most look like regular half dragons, aside from their deep maroon skincolor and (occasional) lack of horns.

Drow-dragons (half-deep) have an affinity towards necro-mancy similar to their full blooded deep dragon cousins. This is because deep dragons tend to lay their eggs near a place with lingering undead energy. They do this in the hopes that this will cause their young to have some necro-mantic affinity (or even turn them into shadow dragons entirely), to help them survive in the Shadowfell should they ever have to enter that plane. This affinity towards necro-mancy is passed on to drow-dragons (half-deep), who often become accomplished and deadly necromancers (page 88).

## Optional: Strong Heritage

While some half dragons gain wings later on in their life as a blessing, there are also those who are born with them. With your DM's permission, if you are playing a drow-dragon (half-deep), half dragon, or zekyl, you can choose the Strong Heritage option, and gain additional benefits. If you do, you must choose the Draconic Heritage (Half Dragon) feat (page 21) the first time you reach a level that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature. If you choose this option, you grow retractable claws from the tips of your fingers as natural weapons, which you can use to make

\columnbreak

unarmed strikes. Extending or retracting the claws requires no action. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier instead of the normal bludgeoning damage for an unarmed strike. Your claws also count as finesse weapons. At 3rd level, you count as being permanently affected by the *magic fang* cantrip (page 144). You also gain the Wings trait of the dragonborn (page 7).

If you did not choose this option at character creation, you can still gain these benefits when you choose the Draconic Heritage (Half Dragon) feat at a later level.

### Silverbrow (Human)

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

### Kobold
Despite their appearance, kobolds are descendants of true dragons. Kobolds are cowardly by nature and usually have a weaker moral standing than most other races, and as such they seem to have little in common with their draconic ancestors. Nevertheless, kobolds are quite capable crafters and builders, if they are instructed well enough. And they have an uncanny natural affinity for tunneling and laying traps. Kobolds can live up to 120 years, but their tendency of almost comedically getting themselves killed means they rarely live that long. They are the most numerous of all the draconic races, and they are also renowned for their team-work. When fighting alongside other kobolds they are also far less cowardly. What they are most renowned for how-ever is their worship of dragons, whose whims and even cruelty they readily forgive. What they are most renowned for, however, is their worship of dragons whose whims and cruelty they readily forgive; normally Kobolds tend to be petty and spiteful if they don't receive the respect they believe they deserve as descendants of gloarious dragon-kind. No form of treachery comes to mind when a dragon is involved. And as far as they are concerned, dragonborn and half dragons are every bit as dragon as true dragons are.

#### Wild Kobolds
Those kobolds that are found as opponents to adventurers are usually "wild kobolds" as they are described by those that understand the difference. These kobolds are far less likely to interact with other races, and have developed a sensitivity to sunlight because they are not accustomed to living outside their tunnels. Like the more civilized Kobolds, 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. Therefor they are less developed, and far more hostile. Kobold players may sympathize with their less developed cousins, or they could be scornful, not liking how their even more cowardly kin 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 races on the other hand are often met with suspicion, and the feeling is mutual. However, if a good meal is involved they can be more open. Gnomes however, are generally considered a racial enemy, but 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.

\columnbreak

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 25), and using the Weasel Companions option (page 23), 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:

>***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 1d6 + 2 piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 12). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the bat can’t bite another target. The bat regains hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt.

\pagebreakNum

### Lamia

The lamia are one of the most exotic races that you will find in human cities, due to their lower serpentine bodies. They were born from experimental unions between yuan-ti and lamia nobles, in order to create the ultimate serpentine race to dominate all the other "lesser" races. Instead, they created a race that did the exact opposite, and instead formed symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationships with humans and other races. The vast majority of lamia are female, and are known to seek out human males for relationships. The children of a union between a lamia or naga and a human (or other humanoid) are usually born as full lamia or naga, with an average chance of 25% for the child to be born as the race of the other parent. Lamia, much like elves, are almost always universally beautiful, and are known for being surprisingly comely despite their heritage. Most lamia are compassionate and devoted, especially towards their partner, and as such most lamia are good aligned. However, lamia can come from any background and embrace any alignment, and they can make for deadly assassins due to their natural weapons.

The favorite pets of lamia are flying snakes (*MM* page 322), which are not flightless snakes that glide, but are actual flying snakes with leathery wings. Lamia use these as both family pets and as messengers who deliver scrolls wrapped in their coils. They are often easy to domesticate and train, and are overall friendly if not provoked.

#### 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, but lose their draconic resistance due to their dominant lamia genes (see page 20 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 are

\columnbreak

quite comely, 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 138) but are also permanently changed into their Dragon Rage form. However, they can still cast and concentrate on spells, wield coral weapons (page 119) 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 celestial dragon ancestor grant her a unique appearance.

## Feats

### 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.

### Spellscale

Spellscales come in a variety of personalities, but eccentric is often an accurate word to describe them. They are quick to try new things, but even quicker to grow bored with them and try something new. Spellscales prize magic above all else, considering it holy and giving it the reverence most other races accord to their deities. Spellscales believe that deities exist and are awesome, but magic is too, in a way that surpasses even the power of the deities. Spellscales alternately honor many dragon deities through their daily meditations, and they gain great spiritual satisfaction from their devotion to magic. Their rituals blend a sense of divinity in with sorcery, uniting both spirit and blood.

#### Relationship with other races

Spellscales often view members of most other races as too limited in their perspectives and pursuits. No other race has
the spellscales’ natural inclination for sorcery. No other race finds the entire world so fascinating. They consider dragonborn distantly related creatures, like a third cousin by marriage. The dragonborn’s singularity of intention interests spellscales, as they find it fascinating in a way, if terribly dull. Spellscales think dwarves are slow; ponderous in their physical movement, their social bonding, and their decision making. Nevertheless, dwarves are mesmerizing to observe in this slowness. Far from being boring, this activity is comfortable and reassuring, akin to rereading a favorite novel. Spellscales feel that, while elves have the right idea when it comes to holding a fine appreciation of magic, they’re too academic in their approach to matters arcane. However, everyone is entitled to their own eccentricities, and the elves’ racial penchant for wizardry over sorcery is peculiar but acceptable. Aside from this, spellscales see elves as graceful, free spirits who have a love of life nearly equal to their own. Spellscales wonder what place gnomes have in the multiverse, as they often seem content enough to stick to cantrips and low level spells without seeking more powerful and wonderful magic to practice. Most spellscales view these sadly hampered humanoids

\columnbreak

with a mix of pity and compassion, treating them gently, as one would a slow-witted child, to be protected and educated. Most spellscales’ outlook toward half-elves can be summed up in a phrase: charming, quite charming. Half-elves have a resourcefulness born from a mixed heritage. They have poise and personality. And, like humans, a half-elf can do just about anything. They find that their flexibility and variability is to be respected. Spellscales find orcs overall a bit too crude and boorish to hold much social attraction for them, but half-orcs nevertheless prove physically fascinating. Not even half-orcs notice the nuances of their physiology. A spellscale might marvel at how one half-orc’s lower teeth point inward and another’s outward, or at just how capable a half-orc is in toe-to-toe battle and feats of strength. Fellow storytellers and agreeable folk, halflings and spellscales get along well. Spellscales appreciate how halflings fill many niches in the societies of other races while retaining a distinct outlook. Humans and half dragons appeal to a spellscales’ curiosity, as they vary greatly in their lifestyles, ambitions, and philosophies. Each individual is unique and interesting. The human race and half dragon communities are young compared to true dragons or dwarves, adding to their charm. Spellscales treat both with a fond tolerance. Spellscales acknowledge that kobolds try hard as sorcerers, they really do, but to a spellscale they’re far too limited in their talents and their worldview. The kobold race’s inclination toward both strict loyalty and borderline worship of dragons perplexes spellscales. They ponder how a race with so much potential could limit itself with such philosophical baggage. And while spellscales admire and revere dragons, ever curious about them, they feel no particular attraction for them. Even as they meditate on the dragon deities frequently for inspiration. Spellscales are naturally interested when presented with an opportu-nity to investigate a dragon’s lair or converse with a friendly dragon, but they are equally fascinated to explore the nooks and crannies of a human city or delve into the depths of the earth. Spellscales acknowledge the link between them-selves and dragons, but they view themselves as something apart from dragons and possibly, in a small way, superior.

# 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. Dragon-born on the other hand prefer not to revere gods, and will mostly just tolerate their worship. Gods are an especially touchy subject for the Dragonborn; as they are generally not very fond of true dragons this distaste is extended 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 ground. Bahamut on one hand promotes strength in his followers and teaches them to promote independence. He will shield those that are weaker, but strongly encourages those weaker beings to strive to improve themselves. While Tiamat has little patience for weakness, and encourages her followers to kill those that provide no use to them.

### Asgorath
Asgorath, also known as Io, is the neutral dragon deity of creation. He (or she, as some traditions suggested) is regarded as the creator of the multiverse and of dragonkind. He manipu- lates the destinies of all dragons by operating in a way that no one suspects his involvement. Asgorath is supposed to encompass all alignments, but is often regarded as neutral. However, many good aligned half dragon clerics and paladins worship him, as he is the protector god of all of dragon kind. In the Outer Planes, he is more commonly known as Io. His holy symbol is a multicolored metallic disk.

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

\columnbreak

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

### Bahamut

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

\pagebreakNum

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

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

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

### Kurtulmak

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

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

The second branch is practiced by the more civilized kobolds, in which Kurtulmak is of lawful neutral alignment. It tells that Kurtulmak is a victim of a cowardly act by Garl Glittergold, but that one day their people will rise up and bring him to justice. Their holy symbol is the head of a kobold with golden eyes, and two crossed pickaxes.

The First story tells of how Kurtulmak decided to carve out a great cavern and rig it to collapse, whereupon he would then play a great jest; he would invite all of the other racial deities to the cavern for a feast, whereupon he would

\columnbreak

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

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

\pagebreakNum

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

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

### Tiamat

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

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

Tiamat feels only scorn towards her brother, as she believes that dragons should dominate the world and rule over the lesser and weaker races. Nonetheless, if non-draconic followers of her prove their worth, she will indeed bestow her blessings and strength upon them. Strength and independence are virtues she is always fond off, and she can even become fond of mortals without draconic blood in their veins. Provided they acknowledge and submit themselves to the superiority of dragons.

\columnbreak

## Ancient Foes
Dragons are known to be among the most powerful beings in the multiverse. As such there are few that seem to be able challenge their power. However, the multiverse is a vast place, and the enemies of dragonkind have more than one way to bring ruin to the realms dragonkind call home. In order to combat such threats many half dragons receive divine calls from their deities, who then band together to fight a common foe, sometimes regardless of which dragon god they align with. These campaigns are sometimes nicknamed bronze crusades, as the vast majority of those receiving the call are half bronze dragons. They are among the most numerous of half dragons, and are also the most organized and militaristic. This divine calling can come at any time forcing many to leave their spouses and children behind as they risk everything to ensure that dragonkind, including their families, will endure.

### 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, they and several of their slave-steeds, were banished to their own world of Abeir where the dragons would revolt against their masters. After defeating most of their former masters, the dragons became the new rulers of Abeir while those left behind by the Primordials became the dominant species of many worlds. The Primordials still remain a threat, however, as some have vowed to bring dragon kind back under their rule. They work 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 more easily influenced by 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’ 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 of the other races. While many true chromatic dragons are indeed evil, more than one innocent half dragon or dragonborn has been the victim of a hateful mob set up by primordial cultists.

# Dragon's Armory

Most magic items are created by wizards and artificers, crafted using complex spells and techniques beyond normal people. There are, however, some that can be made by anyone – though the materials are too hard for many to attain. For those brave enough to confront the most dangerous magical creatures in the multiverse, extraordinary items can be crafted by people without a whiff of magical talent.

### 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.

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

\columnbreak

a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this weapon. When you wield this weapon as a war pick, it has the finesse property and deals an additional 1d8 piercing damage. Using it in this way, it can also be used as a pick-axe. When you wield this weapon as a mace, you can use it to shove an enemy, adding 1d8 to your Strength (Athletics) check. If you successfully hit or shove a creature with this weapon, it takes an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage. If the dragon that provided this claw dies, it becomes a magical war pick/mace that only retains its +2 bonus.

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

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

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

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

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

\pagebreakNum

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

While wearing this armor, you can speak Draconic, you gain a bonus to AC based on the age of the dragon, you have advantage on saving throws against the Frightful Presence and breath weapons of dragons, and you have resistance to one damage type that is determined by the kind of dragon that provided the scales, as shown in the Dragon Species and Damage Types table (page 117).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

\columnbreak

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

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

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

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

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

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

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, and your attacks with this weapon score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. When you hit a creature with it, you choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. The creature takes an extra 2d12 damage of the chosen type. When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a critical hit on the attack roll, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy falls prone in this way. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.

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

# Draconic Magic Items

Although not gifted by Dragons themselves, these magical items are no less potent. Mortal ingenuity and fascination with these powerful creatures have spurred a surge in items that reflect Draconic power. They are often crafted by dragonborn and half dragons, who guard the secrets of their creation ferociously. These items are sometimes gifted to kobolds and lizardfolk.

#### Amulet of the Red Dragon
*Wondrous item, rare (+1) or very rare (+2) (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, which makes it a popular item among berserkers. While wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

- You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls with melee weapons, which is determined by the amulet’s rarity.
- 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 holding it:

You deal an extra 1d8 poison damage with this weapon. If you're a half bronze dragon with the Dragon of the Coast trait (standard or naga), and this weapon still has charges, then when you use your Breath Weapon's repulsion gas you can instead create 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 regains all charges at dawn, but you can't expend its charges if it has not been submerged in saltwater for at least 1 hour in the past 24 hours. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend 1 of its charges to force the target to make a DC 15

\columnbreak

Constitution saving throw. On a failure, corals start growing from the target's wounds, and it can't regain hit points, 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 try to remove the corals, but must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check to do so.

While underwater, you can use a bonus action to activate the healing properties of the weapon for 1 minute, and re-gain 5 hit points at the start of each of your turns while you are submerged. You can’t do so again until the next dawn.

#### 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 to you by your DM through a storyline.

While 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 your 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 a creature, that creature regains (additional) hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.

\pagebreakNum

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

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

While wearing it, you gain the following benefits:

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

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

This tattoo consists of Draconic runes injected into the skin with a needle. While this tattoo is on you, you can use an action to cast the *haste* or *ianna's overcharge* (page 144) spell once on yourself, requiring no concentration. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the next dawn. After the spell ends the tattoo becomes damaged. It can be repaired for a cost of 150 gp worth of materials by someone proficient in the Arcana or Sleight of Hand skills. You can attune to it as if it were a magic item; if you do, it will not become damaged when used. You can wear only one Runic Dragon Tattoo at a time.

#### Staff of the Apprentice
*Staff, common (requires attunement by a creature with shield proficiency)*

*At their DM's discretion, cleric, druid, and storm sorcerer (see page 82) players can exchange one of their starting equipment choices for this magical quarterstaff.*

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

When you're holding this staff without wield- ing a shield, and you roll damage for a cantrip or 1st-level spell, or you roll to restore hit points through any spell, and you roll a 1 or a 2, you can reroll the die. You must use the new roll.

You can add the magical core of your Staff of the Apprentice to any other staff, granting it all the above benefits and restrictions. Afterwards the Staff of the Apprentice becomes an

\columnbreak

ordinary quarterstaff. You can exchange this core between multiple staves, including magical staves, and an ordinary quarterstaff becomes a new Staff of the Apprentice.

#### Vicious Cleavers of Tiamat
*Weapons (battleaxes), hoard item (requires attunement by a drow-dragon, half dragon, or zekyl)*
   *Blood for the Dragon Queen! Skulls for the Dragon Hoard!* See *Fizban's Treasury of Dragons* page 25 for hoard items. If you attune to both of these battleaxes, then they count as a single item for attunement purposes. You gain the Ambidextrous option (page 71), and you ignore the Dragon's Pride Transformation Flaw and have advantage on Wisdom saving throws you make to retain control over your Dragon Rage form. Fire damage dealt by you ignores the resistance and immunity to fire damage of dragons and fiends. Tiamat often gifts these two battleaxes to half dragons that seek power to enact their revenge, even if it comes at a price. Afterwards those cursed folk often become berserkers (see page 108 for the Tireless Rage feature). DM's can gift these battleaxes to their players as part of their background.

***Curse.*** You gain the Dragon Rage curse (page 138) at transformation level 1, which lasts even if attunement ends.

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

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

This item grants its wearer the following benefits:

- You gain a bite attack, if you do not already have one. Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
- All your bite attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- If you already have a bite attack, then the damage dice of your bite attack increase by one step. For example, from 1d4 to 1d6, from 2d6 to 2d8 etc. (maximum of d12).
___
If you are a dragonborn, your bite deals an extra 1d4 damage of the type asso- ciated with your Draconic Ancestry. If you are a lizardfolk, your bite deals an extra 1d4 piercing damage. This extra damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level for both races.

# Naga (Bronze)

Bronze naga (page 20), or naga for short, are often the most pragmatic of half dragons. They are an enigma to most, and have a reputation for being deadly raiders. Many follow Lendys; dragon god of merciless justice, and often carry out attacks against "evil" targets or races. Most of their men are affected by the Dragon Rage transformation (page 138) but are also permanently changed into their Dragon Rage form. However they can still cast and concentrate on spells, wield coral weapons (page 119) 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 them-selves. Bronze naga players can choose this option with

___
their DM's permission, which grants them the Dragon Rage curse at transformation level 1, while also applying these alterations to the curse. Naga myrmidons are male naga who underwent special training and are able to control the dragon rage. Naga sirens, named after the infamous sirens (page 122), are female naga who fulfill support roles for their men. Both often lead murgul, their grunts, into battle.

>**Variant Naga (Bronze):** Some bronze naga are more adept to living in the dark depths of the sea, and gain Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. In exchange, they must consume twice as much water as normal.

While the target's wounds are infected by these corals it can’t benefit from any healing, it has dis-advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it takes 2d4 poison damage at the start of each of its turns.

> ***Crushing Wave.*** Instead of using its breath weapon, the naga conjures a wave of water in a 30-foot cone. Each creature of his choice in that area must make a DC 14 Strength saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Targets that fail their saving throw are also knocked prone.

## Siren (Variant Triton)

The sirens are the mixed offspring of sirines and merfolk or tritons. They are infamous for their luring songs which have doomed many sailors, though not always intentionally. They either have legs like their sirine fey ancestors, or a fish like tail which transforms into legs when they walk on land. Many sirens reside in a realm called Aquaria and name themselves Mithalans, where they practice the verse, while others live in the kingdom of Atlantica. Their appearance varies, but they are generally considered attractive. The songs of sirens are tied to their inner light or verse as they call it. As such, many follow the Way of the Sun Soul, and can create radiant bolts of light that hone in on their foes.

To play a siren, which is a variant triton (*Volo's Guide to Monsters* page 115), you must forgo your Ability Score Increase trait, your Control Air and Water trait, and your Guardians of the Depths trait. In exchange however; your Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charisma scores increase by 1, and you gain the Magic of the Verse and Luring Song traits:

***Magic of the Verse.*** You can cast *animal friendship* at will with this trait, but you can target only beasts with a swim speed with it. At 3rd level you can cast the *enthrall* spell once with this trait, and at 5th level you can cast the *water breathing* spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to cast these spells this way after finishing a long rest. You can also cast these spells using spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Your spellcasting ability for these

___
spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice). You only require verbal components to cast these spells.

***Luring Song.*** You gain proficiency in the Performance skill. Whenever you sing, every humanoid that can hear the song and can't breathe water must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + twice your proficiency bonus) or be charmed until the song ends. You can exclude humanoids of your choice that you can see from having to make this saving throw. The range of this effect is 15 times your proficiency bonus in feet. You can start the song as an action and must use a bonus action on your subsequent turns to continue singing. You can stop singing at any time. A target charmed this way is incapacitated and ignores all other songs. If the target is more than 5 feet away from you, it must move on its turn towards you by the most direct route, provoking opportunity attacks, but it won't move through dangerous terrain that it can see. The target can make the saving throw again at the end of its turns, and whenever it takes damage from you or your allies. On a success, the target is immune to being charmed this way for the next 24 hours.

___
**ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR TRITONS:** 
***Sea Dweller trait:*** Sea elves and tritons can communicate simple ideas with any beast, elemental or monstrosity with a swim speed, but they can't understand them back this way. 
**Greater Tapal:** The greater tapal is a chevron-shaped blade with two handles, and counts as a double-bladed scimitar.

## Murgul

The murgul are a race that resemble a mix between a fish and a frog. They are famous for the gurgling sounds they make when they talk, and infamous for attacking their foes in large numbers. They were artificially created by the bronze naga, and serve them as labor and soldiers. Murgul serve their bronze naga master unquestionably, as they count as being permanently charmed by all bronze naga. An exception are the so called "renegade" murgul, who are not charmed this way, and who are always cast out by other murgul. These murgul often start a career as adventurers, or form isolated villages with other renegade murgul. However, the "renegade" condition is not hereditary, and these villages will often join bronze naga if they come into contact with them. Even without their naga masters, murgul will organize themselves into caste systems similar to grungs. That, and their poisonous skin, makes some scholars speculate that they are part grung. Similar to their bronze naga masters, they have developed a taste for shark meat. Also similar to their naga masters, murgul will relent-lessly hunt down any sahuagin they can find. Both because the naga have deemed the sahuagin to be an evil race, and because they taste very similar to sharks. They prefer to speak in Nerglish, as that is easy for them to talk in, and those who speak Draconic can understand this language.

### 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.

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

\columnbreak

***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 you make 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. If the weapon is a ranged weapon, you can apply the poison to ammunition used by the weapon.

***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.

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

# Celestial Dragon

Celestial dragons, also known as lung dragons or t'ien lung dragons, are neither metallic nor chromatic dragons. Instead they are believed to be related to the astral dragons, as they are also able to take flight without having wings. They are smug and arrogant, yet also noble and honorable, even if they are often rigid and unmerciful. They are also known for their heavenly wrath breath weapons, which burn and blind foes with radiant fire, as well as their ability to control the weather.

***Colorful Dragons.*** A t’ien lung’s scales are dull gold at birth, but brighten to a brilliant yellow when it reaches the young adult age; but orange and light green varieties are also common, as well as radiant blue. Radiant and sometimes Multi-hued manes surround their necks, and whiskers often branch from their snouts and rise over the tops of their heads. Wispy golden beards dangle beneath their chins. From the age of young adult and up, their scales give off a sweet aroma resembling that of cherry blossoms.

***Habitat/Society.*** T’ien lung live in resplendent castles in cloud banks and on high mountain peaks. Male t’ien lung never remain with their mates, and females banish their offspring as soon as they reach the age of young. Though wingless, these dragons can fly magically due to a magic blue pearl embedded in their brains. If removed from the dragon, this pearl loses its magic but is still worth 1,000 gp. It can cease or resume flight as a free action. Half celestial dragons do not inherit this pearl, but there are those who are blessed with wings, whose appearance varies.

***Ecology.*** T’ien lung enjoy eating opals and pearls and look kindly on any mortal who gives them such delicacies. Farmers who rely on the good will of t’ien lung for good weather often make sizeable offerings of these precious gems. T’ien lung are thought to be among the most favored officials of the Celestial Bureaucracy; true or not, t’ien lung do little to discourage their reputation.

***Reserved yet deadly.*** Whenever possible, t’ien lung attempt to warn away potential opponents with a fiery blast from their breath weapon. If their warnings go unheeded, they fight ferociously. T’ien lung prefer to fight from the air, circling their opponents and attacking with their magic and breath weapons, then swooping in for melee attacks when given an opening.  T’ien lung can perform tail slaps and can kick opponents behind them sending enemies reeling.

### 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.

\columnbreak

### 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.

# Fang / Gray Dragon

Fang and gray dragons are greedy, rapacious, and cunning creatures. They live for the hunt, and are exceptionally well adapted to it. Savage combatants, even by draconic standards, these dragons relish the chance to consume the flesh of other creatures, and happily wade into the fray for the chance to enjoy their favorite meal. The most physically terrifying of the dragons, their bodies are covered in bony spikes, and their tails are forked with scythe-like tips. A faint scent of blood always surrounds these dragons. The scales and bony spikes of fang dragons are gray or mottled brown, while those of gray dragons are always gray. Their heads are adorned with many horns or spikes, while their eyes tend to be glittering red or orange. Despite their muscular wings, they are rather poor flyers.

***Angry and Twisted.*** Fang and gray dragons are prone to random acts of violence and outbursts of rage. They revel in the violence, and when they feel they have the advantage they wade into the fray with fervor. These dragons will not hesitate to wreak havoc on anyone they deem weaker than themselves, even if they see them merely as an annoyance.

***Consummate Hunters.*** Fang and gray dragons eat all manner of fresh meat, especially enjoying the flesh of intelligent creatures. They prefer to seek food far from their lairs, and will use their ability to mimic sounds they have heard to lure in prey. Fang and gray dragons are masters of physical combat, and every part of their body is lethal. Their bite is said to drain their victim's very soul, consuming it.

***Hunter and Hunted.*** Fang dragons are not chromatic dragons, and are outside Tiamat's control. Which is why she sent her followers out to find their eggs and "improve" them with a ritual that turned them into chromatic dragons. This ritual gave them a breath weapon and turned them into the first gray dragons. She then ordered these gray dragons to hunt down and kill any remaining fang dragons. Hunted, with their numbers dwindling, fang dragons detest Tiamat and all her followers and will attack them on sight.

### Fang Dragons

You can use the gray dragon game statistics for fang dragons as well, by removing their Acid Immunity trait and Acid Breath action. In exchange, they gain the Rage trait:
___
***Rage (Wyrmling: 1/Day, Young: 2/Day, Adult: 3/Day, Ancient: Unlimited).*** As a bonus action, the fang dragon can enter a rage for 1 minute. While raging it has advantage on all saving throws and on Strength checks, and it gains a bonus to its damage rolls equal to its proficiency bonus.

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

- A dense fog forms in a 40 foot radius centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The fog spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. A wind of at least 20 miles per hour disperses the fog. The fog otherwise lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again, or the dragon dies.
- The dragon chooses a point on the ground within 120 feet of it, and stone spikes sprout out from it. The effect is identical to the *spike growth* spell and lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again or until it dies.
- A 20 foot radius of antimagic forms centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. This zone has the same functional effect as if an antimagic field had been cast, except it is stationary, and remains until the dragon uses this lair action again or the dragon dies.

### Regional Effects
The region containing the dragon's lair is warped by it's magic, creating one or more of the following effects:

- Within 6 miles of a fang dragon's lair, the terrain takes on sharper features. Jagged, rocky outcroppings surface,
plants grow thorns, and it becomes harder to move through the area. Overland movement takes twice as long in the area due to the hazardous conditions.
- Animals (other than insects) will not reside or willingly approach within 1 mile of a fang dragon's lair.
- Within 1 mile of its lair, the dragon leaves no physical evidence of its passage unless it wishes to. Tracking it
there is impossible except by magical means. In addition, it ignores movement impediments and damage from plant and rock formations in this area.

# Song Dragon

Song dragons are a rare breed of dragons that prefer to dwell among humanity. To this end they take on the form of a woman, using this disguise to live as a human would, and only revealing their true form if placed in peril or the need is great enough. Music is an intrinsic part of a song dragon's personality, much like pranks and jokes are among copper dragons. They are known for their independance and rarely acknowledge anyone's authority over their own. In their natural form, song dragons are slim and splendid dragons with iridescent silver-blue scales and the general shape of a copper dragon. In human form, they appear to be attractive women of 20 to 30 years in age. They retain full knowledge and awareness regardless of form. Most are consummate actors, such that others are usually unaware of a song dragon's identity.

***Little Lives.*** Despite their innate power, song dragons prefer to dwell among people that many other dragons might perceive as "lesser" creatures. A song dragon, both female and male, possesses a unique alternative form, that of an attractive human(oid) woman aged between 20 and 30 years old. In addition, due to greatly lesser numbers, male song dragons are an extremely rare occurrence.

***Agents of Good.*** Song dragons seldom live uninteresting lives. Many choose to serve or cooperate with powerful individuals, groups, or organizations whose causes align with their sensibilities. They believe in causes that preserve, renew, and protect the land or communities they choose to live in. Some song dragons may be perceived as great heroes of humanity, while others choose to keep their acts of heroism just as secret as their true form.

***Battle's Song.*** Song dragons strike quickly and mercilessly with their razor-sharp claws, ending a fight as quickly as possible. They sing joyously as they fight, and it is this habit for which they are named. The song dragon is no fool, however, and they will remain silent if their song would endanger allies or prevent the success of their own attack. This song inspires hope and courage within the dragon as well as its allies. Song dragons prefer not to fight in their lairs, as those are the human communities they live in. In human form, they prefer to use slashing edged weapons.

### Lair Actions
The song dragon can use its lair actions in both dragon and human form. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

- One creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the dragon's haunting song. The charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- The dragon chooses a point on the ground within 120 feet of it. Each creature within 10 feet of that point must succeed at a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be unable to move their feet from the ground and be restrained. A creature can take an action to attempt a DC 15 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach and ending the restrained condition on a success. The area counts as difficult terrain, and this effect lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again or until it dies.

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

- Intelligent creatures within the town in which the dragon lives feel joyous, and at peace. Good-aligned creatures in particular feel like this town is lovely, and would make an excellent place to settle.
- The dragon can use tiny beasts such as rodents and birds within the town as its eyes and ears. They are unaware of its presence in their minds.
- The town in which the dragon lives seems better kept and more beautiful than efforts on the part of its citizens can explain. The citizens assume someone is responsible, but tend not to question who or how.

# Steel Dragon

Steel dragons, or Greyhawk dragons, are a variety of dragon that prefer humanoid form to their own, using their shapeshifting ability to infiltrate the cities of civilised races and live a second life among them. A steel dragon wyrmling’s scales are blue-grey, highlighted with steel. As the dragon ages its coloring lightens, eventually gaining the luster of burnished steel by adulthood. For some reason, possibly a form of vanity or maybe just a law of their magical transformation by which they must abide, the steel dragon’s humanoid form always has one feature that is steel-grey. This feature might be their hair, eyes, or nails, for instance. It need not be an organic part of their body and might just as easily be ornamentation such as a ring or tattoo. Whatever the reason, it is by this sign that two steel dragons recognize each other.

***Urban Dwellers.*** Steel dragons prefer to live among humanoids, choosing for their homes large dwellings such as mansions, towers, or castles. Steel dragons prefer to have a life of significance worthy of their sense of personal status, and as such stand apart even while they blend in.

***Second Life.*** Steel dragons prefer to live a second life among human cultures, rather than in their own true forms. They prefer to invest in property and business instead of hoarding monetary treasures. When they do hoard, they prefer to hoard works of art, antiquities, books, finery, magic items, or servants. They respect laws as a means to gain wealth, but despise absolute authority, even if meant for good. As such they often promote freedom and under-mine authoritarian forces in their many lives. They are skillful shapechangers who fully immerse themselves into their many human lives, which they call the chain of lives.

***Peaceful Predators.*** Despite their power, steel dragons would rather talk their way out of a conflict than engage in needless fighting. If a fight is unavoidable, the steel dragon opens up with spells or ranged attacks in preference to melee. They use spells to incapacitate an enemy, if possible, only transforming back into a dragon if the need is dire.

### Lair Actions
The steel dragon can use its lair actions in both dragon and human form. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

- Part of the ceiling collapses above one creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. It must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone and buried. The target is restrained and unable to breathe or stand up. The target or a creature next to it can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, ending the buried state on a success.
- The dragon chooses a point on the ground within 120 feet of it, and stone spikes sprout out from it. The effect is identical to the *spike growth* spell and lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again or until it dies.
- The dragon targets a creature within 120 feet of it that can hear and understand it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the dragon until initiative count 20 on the following round. A creature charmed in this way obeys to the best of its ability any command the dragon issues that isn't directly harmful to itself.

\columnbreak

### Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary steel dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

- Intelligent creatures near where the dragon lives become more intellectually stimulated, and frequently pick up unusual interests which become a passion.
- Within its lair, the dragon can set illusory sounds so that they can be heard in various parts of the lair. It often uses this ability to listen to great classical works.
- Within the limits of its home town, the dragon leaves no physical evidence of its passage unless it wishes to. Tracking it is impossible except by magical means.

## Dragon Rage Transformation

*The transformation listed here follows the rules of the Transformation section in the Grim Hollow Campaign Guide (page 30 and 31).*

You are affected by the Dragon Rage, or Dracorage, a curse bestowed upon dragon kind and their half blood descendants. A Dragon Rage causes those affected to slowly become more agitated and reckless, eventually becoming little more than raging beasts. The Dragon Rage form manifests itself in a dragon as a madness of growing aggression, shown by its blood red glowing eyes, as it goes on a mindless rampage. For half dragons the Dragon Rage form is more extreme, as they gain a more bestial draconic appearance. Their heads turn into the image of their dragon ancestors, and scales cover their entire bodies, while their hands grow long and extended claws that can easily tear though metal and hide alike. The worst part is that they can attack anyone at random, as they struggle to maintain control against the madness that is overtaking them.

The Dragon Rage curse was created during the first Rage of Dragons, or Dracorage. This was a periodic Realms-wide event that occurred when many dragons went on a collective, senseless rampage, destroying everything in their path. This periodic madness seemed to be tied to the appearance of the King-Killer Star, and could last for several tendays. Sometimes, however, these Rages are localized, less intense events, depending on the astrological position of the stars. In the event of a localized Rage of Dragons, the more common label was a Flight of Dragons. Sometimes dragons or half dragons will mimic the effects of a Flight of Dragons, such as for large conflicts or for "bronze crusades". When mimicked, dragons or half dragons that are affected will only attack those they wish to attack when they lose control, and never their allies.

Rages could take place in a number of different cycles. Some took place every few decades, while others every few centuries. In Faerûn, most sages agreed that this periodic Rage was a direct result of a curse caused by the Dracorage mythal, a powerful mythal created by the elves.

### Gaining the Dragon Rage Curse

While most Dragon Rages are tied to a certain location, in some cases there are dragons and half dragons that suffer the curse of the Dragon Rage through a different and permanent way. This could be done at random by having an ancestor who was strongly affected by a Dragon Rage. It could also be the result of a wound you suffered from a dragon or half dragon who was affected by the Dragon Rage themselves, or a curse bestowed upon you by a cultist of Tiamat. It could even be caused by a very traumatic experience. Another cause could be that you were affected by the Aggravate Dracorage spell. Regardless, there are few means to stop the effects of the Dragon Rage completely by natural or magical methods. Most spells are ineffective and even a *wish* spell only mitigates the effects if cast daily.

The rare spell Abate Dracorage is perhaps the most effective spell in calming the effects of the Dracorage, or even ending it. This is a spell discovered by the song dragon Karasendrieth, that soothes the effects of the Dracorage. A spell that does the opposite is the Aggravate Dracorage, which is a spell created by the lich Sammaster, to trigger the effects of the Dracorage on a single dragon.

If you are unable to find spellcasters that can cast these

\columnbreak

rare spells, your next best chance to reduce (or increase) the stages of your Dragon Rage is to resort to elven High Magic. This can be done by aiding elven kind and gaining their trust, or seducing members of their race into helping you. If you can persuade enough elves (at your DM's discretion) they can perform a special High Magic mythal for you, which will end the Dragon Rage curse entirely. Another option would be to have them increase the effect of the Dragon Rage, but allowing you more control over it. The latter will grant you advantage (or a +5 bonus if you already have advantage) on Wisdom saving throws you make to retain control over your Dragon Rage form. As such, consider how your character feels about the curse. Do they wish to cure it? Or do they wish to embrace its power, hoping to find a way to better control the Dracorage?

### Transformation Features

Those affected by the Dragon Rage gain the following transformation features:

#### Prerequisites

**Ability Scores:** Strength 13
 **Race:** You must be a drow-dragon (half-deep), half dragon, true dragon, or zekyl. True dragons are intelligent dragons who become stronger with age instead of weaker. This includes red and silver dragons, but not dragon turtles nor sea serpents.
 **Roleplay:** You must have gained the Dragon Rage curse. This is usually gained by surviving an encounter with a dragon or half dragon who is affected by the Dragon Rage curse. Discuss with your DM how you can achieve this within your backstory or in-game.

Some of your abilities require your target to make a saving throw to resist their effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

**Transformation Save DC =** 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier (maximum of 5)

</center>

#### Level Milestones

The following are examples of possible level milestones for those affected by the Dragon Rage:
- Defeating a true dragon.
- Being affected by the Aggravate Dracorage spell (An Abate Dracorage spell will have the opposite effect).
- Gaining control of your violent urges.
- Unleashing the Dragon within and losing all restraint.
- Being affected by a Rage of Dragons mythal. This is temporary, as it is tied to a location and duration. You (and those who can gain this curse, even if they're not cursed in the first place) have their transformation level increased up to level 4). You revert back to your original transformation level (if any) when the mythal ends.

>##### Helpless Creatures
>This Transformation refers to helpless creatures in multiple instances. For game purposes, a helpless creature is a humanoid that is unconscious, restrained, blinded, paralyzed or frightened. Creatures that are so vulnerable in their current situation they are defense-less, or are far weaker than you, are also considered helpless. For example, a disarmed enemy, or a weak villager, pleading for mercy. In these instances the DM decides if the creature is considered helpless or not.

\pagebreakNum

### Transformation Level 1

Starting at 1st level, you gain all the following Transformation Boons and this level’s Transformation Flaw.

#### Transformation Boon: Dragon Rage Transformation

As an action, you can willingly embrace the Dracorage, causing you to turn into your Dragon Rage form. If you are a true dragon, then your eyes become filled with bloodlust and rage (if you are shapechanged, this will also turn you back into a true dragon). If you are a half dragon (or drow-dragon or zekyl), then your normally more human or elven looking body becomes more bestial, as you transform into a monstrous dragon hybrid. While you are affected by this transformation, the following rules apply:

- You can’t cast spells or concentrate on spells. Your ability to speak is reduced to short, basic, guttural responses. You can speak more coherently while out of combat, albeit not fluently and with a bit of effort.
- Your stats remain the same as your normal stats.
- You gain claws and a bite as natural weapons (if you don't have those already), which you can use to make unarmed strikes with. They deal damage (piercing for your bite and slashing for your claws) equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the normal blud-geoning damage for an unarmed strike. If you also have another bite or claw(s) attack that uses higher damage dice, then you can use those damage dice instead.
- While not using a shield, you can calculate your AC as 15 + your Dexterity modifier.
- You regain the use of your racial breath weapon on a 5 or 6 of the d6 die roll. If you already regain the use of your racial breath weapon on a 5 or 6 on the d6 die roll, then you regain it on a 4-6 on the d6 die roll instead.
- Your bite deals an additional 1d6 damage of the same damage type as that of your racial breath weapon. If you make a bite attack, you cannot make another bite attack until the start of your next turn.
- When you take the Attack action (but not the Multiattack action) or use your racial breath weapon on your turn, you can make one attack with your claws or bite as a bonus action that turn. 
___
Your Dragon Rage form lasts for a number of hours equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) and ends early if you are knocked unconscious or reduced to 0 hit points. You can end this transformation as an action on your turn.

#### Transformation Boon: Might of the Dragon

Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1. An ability score cannot be increased beyond 16 this way.

If you are not a true dragon, then you become a Dragon in addition to any other creature types you are. Spells and abilities that affect Dragons of a specific CR have no effect on you.

> **NOTE:** If this curse is applied to a non-player creature, then that creature can treat player creatures as if they were non-player creatures for the Transformation Flaws of this curse.

\columnbreak

#### Transformation Flaw: Curse of the Mythal

The violent nature of your curse sometimes causes you to lose control. When you are in your Dragon Rage form, you must succeed at a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of your turns or lose control. If you're a true dragon, then this DC increases by 1 for each transformation level you have above transformation level 1. Half dragons (and drow-dragons and zekyl) with a True Dragon Form count as true dragons. If you are under an additional effect that prevents you from concentrating (like the barbarian's Rage feature), then you have disadvantage on this saving throw. If you are in an area affected by a Rage of Dragons, you automatically fail this saving throw. If you fail this saving throw, you are subjected to the following until you succeed.

- You must move toward the closest non-player creature you can see, smell or hear, prioritizing hostile creatures first and helpless creatures second (if a hostile creature you can see is further away than a helpless one, you must move towards the hostile creature). If you end your movement and no non-player creature is within 5 feet of you, you must use your action to dash toward one. Allies that defend themselves don't count as hostile creatures.
- If there is a non-player creature within 5 feet of you and you have not used your action, you must make at least one melee attack against it, prioritizing hostile creatures first and helpless creatures second. If your racial breath weapon is available, and you are able to use it against the non-player creature without harming a player creature, then you must use your racial breath weapon against the non-player creature with your action.

___
If you (as well as those races who can gain the curse, even if they weren't cursed in the first place) are in an area affected by a Rage of Dragons, your transformation level increases to level 4  until the Rage of Dragons ends, and you must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw. You can't use your Legendary Resistance trait (if any), or similar feature, to automatically succeed on this saving throw. On a failure, you automatically turn into your Dragon Rage form, and you cannot transform back until you leave the area or the Rage of Dragons ends. If you succeed on this saving throw, you become immune to this effect for the next 24 hours.

### Transformation Level 2

At 2nd level, you can pick one of the following Transforma-tion Boons. You also gain this level’s Transformation Flaw.

#### Transformation Boon: Resistant Scales

While in your Dragon Rage form, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical weapons.

#### Transformation Boon: Indomitable Dragon

Your transformation has granted you a strong presence, strengthened by your draconic might.

- When you make a Charisma check, you can add your Strength modifier instead of your Charisma modifier to the roll.
- Your hit point maximum increases by 15 hit points (as well as that of your True Dragon Form if you have it).
- When you make a saving throw while in your Dragon Rage form, you can add your Constitution modifier (maximum of 5) to the result.

\pagebreakNum

#### Transformation Boon: Dragon's Roar

While in your Dragon Rage form, you can use a bonus action to let out a loud roar and mark a creature
within 60 feet as your challenger. A creature remains marked this way for 10 minutes, or until it dies. While a creature is marked as your challenger, you gain the following benefits:

- Whenever you hit the marked creature with a melee weapon attack, you deal an additional 1d6 damage. This damage is the same type as that of the weapon.
- When you deal slashing or piercing damage against the marked target, it starts to bleed (if it can) and cannot regain hit points from spells or abilities for 1 minute. It can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
___
You can mark a creature this way for a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all uses after finishing a short or long rest.

#### Transformation Flaw: Dragon's Pride

Your draconic pride compels you to only fight with your natural weapons. Any armor you are wearing, or weapons or shields you are wielding, merge into your Dragon Rage form or immediately falls to the ground. Your DM may decide if they feel the armor is too large to merge. You cannot wield any weapons or shields while in your Dragon Rage form, as your pride prevents you from doing so.

### Transformation Level 3

Starting at 3rd level, you can pick one of the following Transformation Boons, or pick a boon from a lower level that you meet the prerequisites for. You also gain this level’s Transformation Flaw.

#### Transformation Boon: Draconic Vigor

Your hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to twice your character level, and it increases by 2 every time you gain a character level. If you are a half dragon (or drow-dragon or zekyl) with a True Dragon Form, then both your original form as well as your True Dragon Form gain these bonus hit points. Instead of using your level, you can use your total number of Hit Dice for this feature (whichever is higher).

At the start of each of your turns, while you are in your Dragon Rage form, you gain 5 temporary hit points.

#### Transformation Boon: Momentum of the Dragon

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points while in your Dragon Rage form, you can use your reaction to move up to your speed and then immediately use your racial breath weapon. This ability ignores your breath weapon's recharge property (meaning that you can use your breath weapon this way even when it has to recharge, and using your breath weapon this way won't initiate the recharge penalty).

#### Transformation Boon: Draconic Savagery

You embrace your Draconic Savagery, granting you the following benefits while you are in your Dragon Rage form:

\columnbreak

- You are immune to the charmed and frightened conditions.
- The damage dice of your bite and claws increase to 1d8. If you also have another bite or claw(s) attack that uses higher damage dice, then you can use those damage dice instead. In addition, your natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with natural weapons. This bonus increases by 1 at 11th level (+2) and 17th level (+3). Instead of your level, you can determine this increase based on your total number of Hit Dice (whichever is higher).

#### Transformation Flaw: Hazy Memories

The Dragon Rage curse occupies your mind constantly, as you struggle to recall memories of less practical significance. You have disadvantage on Intelligence checks recalling information or knowledge.

### Transformation level 4

Starting at 4th level, you can pick one of the following Transformation Boons, or pick a boon from a lower level that you meet the prerequisites for. You also gain this level’s Transformation Flaw.

#### Transformation Boon: Unstoppable Dragon

You have become an avatar of carnage and slaughter that even other dragons fear. When you are reduced to 0 hit points (and you are not killed outright), you are not knocked unconscious nor do you lose your Dragon Rage form. You can take your future turns as though you were not at 0 hit points, you don't have to make a death saving throw each turn, and you are still be affected by all spells, abilities and features as normal. While you have 0 hit points, taking damage causes one death saving throw failure, and three death saving throw failures can still kill you. You are unaffected by spells that cause you to die instantly (such as the *power word kill* spell), but damage can still kill you.

#### Transformation Boon: Breath of Fire

When you use your racial breath weapon during your Dragon Rage form, you can empower it with one of the three empower options of the Improved Breath Weapon feat (page 14) without expending an empower point. The rules of the feat remain the same. You don't need to have this feat to use this boon.

#### Transformation Boon: Draconic Affinity

You have learned to control your Dragon Rage form through sheer force of will, pride, and confidence in your superiority as a dragon. You gain the following benefits:

- While you are in your Dragon Rage form, you can speak normally and cast spells. In addition, you can cast spells without requiring material components, except material components that have a cost.
- While you are in your Dragon Rage form, you have advantage on all Wisdom and Charisma checks and saving throws.

\pagebreakNum

#### Transformation Flaw: Rampaging Dragon

You've begun to realize the true cost of your transformation, as your Dragon Rage curse has gained
more control over your body than you have, due to the stress weakening your mind. While you can control it at times, you know it cannot be contained forever, and when it breaks free it will delight in any slaughter it can find. You gain the following features:

- If you can see, hear or smell a helpless creature, you gain disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
- At the start of your turns, if you can see, hear or smell a hostile or helpless non-player creature, you must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. If you're a true dragon, then this DC increases by 1 for each trans-formation level you have above transformation level 1. On a failure, you automatically turn into your Dragon Rage form. If you succeed on this saving throw, you become immune to this effect until the next dawn or dusk. You can choose to fail this saving throw and immediately transform.
- When you kill a creature while in your Dragon Rage form, you cannot transform back until the next dawn or dusk.

\columnbreak

>**Flight of Dragons**: A Flight of Dragons is a weaker and localized Rage of Dragons, and doesn't count as one for the Curse of the Mythal Transformation Flaw. Those affected by a Flight of Dragons will temporarily gain the Dragon Rage curse at transformation level 1, or have their existing transformation level increased by 1, until it ends. However, those that lose control will not attack non-hostile creatures unless they wish to. These Flights of Dragons are often used by bronze crusaders.

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

You shoot a bolt of lightning at a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, you can make another ranged spell attack against another creature within 10 feet of the first target. When you make an attack roll with this spell against a creature that is wearing armor made of metal, you have advantage on the attack roll. Creatures you hit take 1d6 lightning damage.

The spell's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

#### Bronze Dragon's Wrath
*2nd-level Conjuration*

- **Classes:** Artificer, Paladin, Ranger
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V, S, M (A javelin)
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
A javelin made of lightning appears in your hand. It has all the properties of a normal javelin, but deals 2d8 lightning damage instead of 1d6 piercing damage on a hit, and comes back to your hand after every throw. If you hit a target twice with this javelin on your turn, the next two attack rolls made against that target have advantage thanks to the attraction of the electricity. These attack rolls must be done within a minute after your turn, and they must be done with metallic weapons or they must deal lightning damage.

**At Higher Levels.** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, the damage increases to 3d8. When you cast it using a spell slot of 5th or 6th level, the damage increases to 4d8. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases to 5d8.

#### Copper Dragon's Trickery

You curse a foe with mishap, which strikes whenever it slips up. When you cast this spell, you can choose a humanoid you can see within range.

At any time before the spell ends, when the target of this spell misses with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to curse the target with mishap. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. If the target falls prone this way, it can't stand up from being prone until the start of its next turn.

#### Elemental Exchange
*3rd-level Evocation*
___
- **Classes:** Sorcerer
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
You tear your foes apart with elemental power, and absorb the released energy to heal your own wounds. As part of this spell choose either  acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 damage of your chosen type, and you regain hit points equal to the amount of damage dealt. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action.

If you use the Quickened Spell Metamagic option on this spell, you can make all subsequent attacks with this spell as a bonus action instead of an action. If you choose to do so, then the healing you receive from this spell on these subsequent attacks is halved.

**At Higher Levels.** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.

#### Fury of Tiamat
*2nd-level Evocation*
___
- **Classes:** Artificer, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 30 feet
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  Instantaneous
___
As Tiamat's Fury fills you, choose a creature within range. You grow spectral wings that propel you into the air in a straight line towards the target. While moving in this line, you are considered flying and are lifted above other creatures in your path. Opportunity attacks made against you while moving in this line have disadvantage.

When you reach the targeted creature, you slam into it with devastating force, and it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 2d6 fire damage and 2d6 force damage, and you can either push the target up to 10 feet away from you or knock it prone (your choice). On a success, the target takes half as much damage and suffers no other effects from this spell. If you are still in the air after the damage is dealt, you descend slowly at a rate of 60 feet per round, take no falling damage and can land on your feet.

**At Higher Levels.** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the fire damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.

\pagebreakNum

___

You unleash a wave of psychic power in a 30-foot cone out from you and in a direction you choose. Each creature of your choice in the cone must make an Intelligence saving throw.

- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
This spell was created by the half blue dragon sorceress Ianna, to aid her Stormscale brethren in battle.

Choose a willing creature that you can see within range, you infuse them with electric energy. Until the spell ends, the target can use a bonus action on each of its turns to teleport up to 15 feet, and it gains a +2 bonus to AC as static electric force pushes attacks away. Immediately after a creature makes an attack roll against the target (hit or miss), the target can use its reaction to make a weapon attack with advantage against that creature, provided it is within range of the weapon. This special weapon attack deals an extra 1d8 lightning damage when it hits.

Right after the spell ends, the target takes 2d6 lightning damage and has disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of its next turn, as the electricity escapes its body.

#### Io's Cursed Foresight
*7th-level Divination*
___
- **Classes:** Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and is incapacitated until the end of its next turn. A stunned target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. A creature that is immune to being frightened cannot be stunned or incapacitated by this effect.

#### Magic Fang
*Enchantment Cantrip*
___
- **Classes:** Druid
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** Touch

\columnbreak

___
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:**  1 minute
___
You touch one willing creature. Until the spell ends, or until you cast this spell again, all of the target's natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. When the target rolls a 1 or a 2 on a damage die for an attack it makes with these weapons, it can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.

The target can use the regular damage dice for its natural weapons, or use a 1d6 damage die instead. The damage type of its natural weapons remains the same, and any bonuses to the damage of these natural weapons still apply.

The optional damage die increases to 1d8 at 5th level, 1d10 at 11th level, and 1d12 at 17th level.

#### Radiant Mark
*Evocation Cantrip*
___
- **Classes:** Cleric
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 5 feet
- **Components:** V, M (a weapon)
- **Duration:**  1 round
___
This spell is favored by clerics of the Dragon Domain, as well as other domains that like to get close and personal. As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects and it is marked until the start of your next turn. The next time the marked creature is hit by an attack by a creature other than you, the attack deals additional radiant damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier and the mark is consumed.

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

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

Choose one of the following options when you cast the spell. Hazards of the chosen type cannot pass through the barrier or affect anything within it.

- Physical projectiles. 
- A specific spell or effect, such as a dragon's breath weapon or the *fireball* spell. 
- An environmental danger, such as falling rocks or lava.

**At Higher Levels.** When you cast Shield of Bahamut using a spell of 7th level or higher, the maximum radius increases by 20 feet for each slot level above 6th.

\pagebreakNum

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

___
You summon and bind a wyvern, which appears in an unoccupied space within range. The DM has the creature's statistics (*Monster Manual* page 303). The wyvern is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the wyvern, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). Without commands it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

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

> ##### Sorcerous Origin: Pyromancer, Revised
>
>Your innate magic manifests in fire. You are your fire, and your fire is you. *You can also create sorcerers of other elements by replacing any mention of fire in this subclass with a different element. For example, you could make a cryomancer by replacing fire with cold.*
>___
>**Heart of Fire** At 1st level, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that deals fire damage, fiery magic erupts from you, and creatures of your choice (if any) that you can see within 15 feet of you take fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier + half your sorcerer level. All spells that deal fire damage count as sorcerer spells for you. **Fire in the Veins** At 6th level, you gain resistance to fire damage, and all damage you deal ignores fire resistance. Whenever you deal fire damage that involves a damage roll, you can add your Charisma modifier to one of the damage rolls. **Pyromancer's Fury** At 14th level, you treat fire immunity as fire resistance instead (this fire resistance can't be ignored), and the range of your Heart of Fire effect increases to 30 feet. **Fiery Soul** At 18th level, you gain immunity to fire damage. When you cast a spell from your Origin Spells feature you can also cast it by expending a number of sorcery points equal to the spell’s level minus 1 (minimum of 0).

# Recommendations

There are a few homebrew and content creators which I would like to recommend to others. The first one is a homebrew that lets you **play as a full dragon**, which was made by ChimericWilder, called the **[Demi-Dragon](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NqSQRA6Rd_EFtbT0Ags-Pv2Z24j8zUxI/view)**, which is more detailed when compared to my own **Playing as a Full Blooded Dragon** content (page 94). I would also like to recommend **[Monkey DM](https://www.patreon.com/monkeydm/)** for his stellar homebrew material, and for being an overall great and helpful content creator. You can find their works and many other homebrew on the **[Unearthedarcana](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/)** subreddit, which also inspired several of my homebrew.

Although it is not Dragon themed, I would also like to recommend the Humblewood Campaign setting, even if you are using a different setting. The Corvum birdfolk are ideal for playing a pragmatic race that is misunderstood and willing to do what is necessary to help their friends.

You can find the Humblewood free playtest on the Deck of Many their official website. I recommend purchasing the full **[Humblewood campaign setting](https://thedeckofmany.com/collections/humblewood)**, as a way to support its creators. This provides you with the full content, as well as many beautiful artworks. The Corvum are also an ideal race for my **[Oath of Pragmatism](https://sta.sh/01seaq0c9oxb)** for those who wish to play as a pragmatic paladin: **[https://sta.sh/01seaq0c9oxb](https://sta.sh/01seaq0c9oxb)**

##### Additional Dungeons and Dragons Material

It is recommended to use this compendium in combination with: **[Tasha's Cauldron of everything](https://anyflip.com/eqxhe/cpgo)**, **[Xanathar's Guide to Everything](https://online.anyflip.com/rmzy/oapq/mobile/index.html#p=1)**, **[Elemental Evil Player's Companion](https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/EE_PlayersCompanion.pdf)**, the **[Monster Manual](http://online.anyflip.com/ofsj/fyzz/mobile/index.html#p=1)**, **[Explorer's Guide to Wildemount](https://anyflip.com/efdfy/dgdn)**, **[Eberron: Rising from the Last War](https://anyflip.com/rbal/zmrp)**, the **[Grim Hollow Campaign Guide](https://anyflip.com/rzjth/uwpg)**, **[Mythic Odysseys of Theros](http://online.anyflip.com/rbal/nqho/mobile/index.html)**, **[Fizban's Treasury of Dragons](https://5e.tools/book.html#ftd,-1)**, and **[Volo's Guide to Monsters](http://online.anyflip.com/awzb/monr/mobile/index.html#p=1)** (preferably the original and complete print from 2016).
