Sorcerer: Sorcerous Manifestation: Dragon Descendant

These sorcerers manifest physical traits of dragon lineages and channel elemental forces with unmatched potency. Though a few bloodlines are well known, most remain shrouded in obscurity.

Dragon Descendant Features

Dragon Magic

If you expend sorcery points to cast a spell from the ‘dragon descendant’ spell list that deals damage or provides resistance to a type of damage, the damage type of the spell changes to match the damage type of your draconic heritage (see below) and you can add your Charisma modifier to the spell’s damage rolls.

If you replace a spell from you manifestation spell list, the new spell must be an evocation or an abjuration spell from the primal spell list.

Draconic Manifestation

Beginning from 3rd level, you take on draconic features, and your skin becomes covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales or protruding horns granting you the following benefits:

•          Dragon Hide. While you are not wearing any armour, shield or helmet, your armour class equals 10 + you Charisma modifier + your Dexterity modifier.

•          Dragon Tongue. You can also 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.

•          Dragon Heritage. You must choose one type of dragon heritage (see the ‘dragon heritage’ table). The damage type of your dragon heritage determines damage type and resistance granted by some of your dragon descendant features.

Draconic Affinity

Starting at 10th level, your draconic manifestation improves, granting you the following benefits:

•          Dragon Resistance. You gain resistance to the damage type associated with your ‘dragon heritage’.

•          Dragon Wings. You sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, giving you a 60-foot fly speed. You cannot use these wings if your wear armour.

•          Dragon Breath. Once between long rests, you can cast cone of cold (even if you have replaced it from your list of ‘dragon manifestation spells’) as if you had expended 5 sorcery points to cast it with your ‘dragon magic’ feature. When you use this ability, you cast the spell without expending a spell slot or sorcery points.

Draconic Presence

Beginning at 14th level, you can channel the dreadful presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those around you to become struck with awe or fear.

As an action, you draw on this power and exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet. For 10 minutes or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (awe) or frightened (fear) by you until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your aura for 24 hours.

Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 sorcery points to use it again.
