Path of the Dragons
Barbarian subclass
From the deepest pits of their rage, springs the fierce monster within them, a communion of unadulterated power. Your draconic heritage fuels your rage, as draconic magic spills from it in the form of your ancestor. Scales grow on you and increase your resilience and strength. Often, the wielder of this blood dates from ancient times from a powerful warrior, or sorcerer who mingled with dragons and bore a very powerful bloodline.
Very rarely, do people have such draconic blood within them, and even if they did have an ancestor that was a dragon, the blood has long departed in their bloodline. Those who wish to have the power of a mighty dragon will desperately go out of their way to get it. To do so, they must go through draconic-mending, by replacing their heart with that of a dragon and successfully attune to it. However, the power of the mighty dragon causes those to fall into madness if one fails to attune, and loses themselves in its madness. The failure of attunement will create an even more terrifying monster. The false dragons, Lesser Kin.
