Path of the Dragon Heart
In some places, dragons are seen as deities to mortals. Within their descendants, the Dragonborn kin, some are courageous enough to seek the path to gain their powers. Some gain the dragon's wisdom and with it a mind sharp enough to cut like a blade. But others gain the dragon's heart and the strength to become a lord of both heavens and earth.
Restriction: Dragonborn Only
Only Dragonborn who have taken the barbarian class may choose the Path of The Dragon Heart. The Dragon Hearted fills a particular niche in Dragonborn society and culture.
Also, two of the features in this subclass are affiliated directly with the Dragonborn race and subrace.
Path Of The Dragon Heart
| Barbarian Level | Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Draconic Mind, Draconic Might |
| 6th | Monarch's Weaponry |
| 10th | Liege's War Cry |
| 14th | Ruler of The Heavens |
Draconic Mind
At 3rd level, the dragon's wisdom flourishes within you, expanding your mind to the surroundings. Whenever you are raging and make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can add your rage damage bonus to it.
Draconic Might
Additionally, at 3rd level, while you are raging, your scales harden as the power of the dragons flows inside you. You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your rage damage bonus while not wearing any armor or a shield.
Monarch's Weaponry
At 6th level, while you are raging, your breath weapon gains an additional 15 feet to its range if it's a cone area, or 5 feet wide to each side and 30 feet to its length if it's a line. It also gains an extra die of damage.
Additionally, your draconic features grow more prominent, even growing a tail appropriate to your droconic ancestry. You can use either your teeth, claws, or tail as an action or bonus action to make a unarmed attack. You are considered proficient with them and you use your Strength to calculate the attack and damage modifier.
- Bite. This attack deals 1d4 piercing damage plus 1d4 your breath weapon damage and has a reach of 5 feet.
- Claw. This attack deals 1d10 slashing damage and has a reach of 5 feet. You must have at least one hand free to use this attack.
- Tail. This attack deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage and has a reach of 10 feet. Alternatively, you can try to grapple a creature with it instead of dealing damage. Your tail is not dexterous enough to use weapons, shields, or any tool.
Liege's War Cry
At 10th level, you can release a war cry, bringing fear to your enemies and courage to your allies. As an action, while raging, all enemy creatures within a 30-foot radius must make a Wisdom Saving Throw against your Breath Weapon DC or be 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.
Additionally, all allies within the same radius gain a number of temporary hit points equal to twice your barbarian level. While a creature has such temporary hit points, they have advantage on attack rolls against any frightened creature.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
Ruler of The Heavens
At 14th level, obtained the mastery of your draconic powers. You gain a pair of wings that give you a flying speed equal to twice your walking speed.
In addition, you suffer no drawbacks from old age, can't be magically aged, and your lifespan extends by 2000 years.
Finally, you add two additional damage dies to your Breath Weapon, or signature Ancestry attacks such as Draining Bite, and all damage dies become a d12, instead of a d10.
Dragonborn Revamped
Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids. Some dragonborn are faithful servants to true dragons, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Chromatic Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10). You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
