The rippling waves of fear, the rustling of thick scales, and the beat of immense wings signal the arrival of a great dragon. The awe-inspiring presence of these creatures makes them worthy of reverence—or even outright worship. Dragon disciples dedicate themselves to becoming like these great beasts, with each disciple striving to typify one variety of dragon. Sorcerers of draconic blood, barbarians with the dragon instinct, and many draakyns become dragon disciples, but anyone who has encountered one of these terrifying creatures might follow this path.
As a dragon disciple, you study and learn from the example of dragons, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you admire the dragons you emulate. While most dragon disciples do indeed revere their chosen dragon, countless tales are told of dragon disciples born of great personal tragedy at the hands of boundless draconic fury. These disciples have transformed themselves into what they despise in order to gain the power to destroy their draconic tormentor and at long last earn their revenge.
Dragon Disciple Dedication (Feat 2)
|
Uncommon
|
Archetype
|
Dedication
|
Archetype Dragon Disciple
You choose to study or worship one type of dragon, and your focus grants you a measure of its power. Choose one color of dragon when you select this feat; if you had to choose a color of dragon from a class or ancestry feature, this must be the same type as your previous choice. You gain resistance equal to half your level against one type of damage determined by the chosen dragon type.
- Black Acid
- Blue Electricity
- Gold or Red Fire
- Green Poison
- White Cold
You also gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws against sleep effects and effects that would make you paralyzed.
Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the dragon disciple archetype. If you later take the sorcerer archetype, you must choose the draconic bloodline.
4th Level Dragon Disciple Feats
Claws of the Dragon (Feat 4)
|
Archetype
|
Your fingernails grow into razor-sharp claws, and scales speckle your fingers, hands, and wrists. Your claws are agile, finesse unarmed attacks that deal 1d6 slashing damage and are in the brawling weapon group.
If you're a draconic sorcerer, when you cast dragon claws, increase the spell's slashing damage die from d4 to d6 and increase the resistance to 10 at 1st level, 15 at 5th level, and 20 at 9th level.
Draconic Scent (Feat 4)
|
Archetype
|
Your sense of smell is uncanny, much like a dragon's. You gain imprecise scent with a range of 30 feet. The GM might double the range if you're downwind from the creature or halve the range if you're upwind, at their discretion.
Dragon Arcana (Feat 4)
|
Archetype
|
You've discovered how to add the magic of dragons to your tradition. Add the draconic bloodline's granted spells to your spell list; you must still learn them or add them to your repertoire as normal. These spells are shield, true strike, resist energy, haste, spell immunity, chromatic wall, dragon form, mask of terror, prismatic wall, and overwhelming presence.
Scales of the Dragon (Feat 4)
|
Archetype
|
Scales grow across your body, protecting you against physical and magical threats. When you're unarmored, the scales give you a +2 status bonus to AC with a Dexterity cap of +2. Your resistance from Dragon Disciple Dedication increases to 3 + half your level.
8th Level Dragon Disciple Feats
Breath of the Dragon (Feat 8)
|
Archetype
|
You can use a powerful breath weapon, much like the dragon you emulate. You gain the dragon breath sorcerer bloodline spell and a focus pool of 1 Focus Point. If you already have a focus pool, increase your number of Focus Points by 1.
12th Level Dragon Disciple Feats
Wings of the Dragon (Feat 12)
|
Archetype
|
You can manifest draconic wings to soar through the air at great speed. You gain the dragon wings sorcerer bloodline spell and a focus pool of 1 Focus Point. If you already have a focus pool, increase your number of Focus Points by 1.
14th Level Dragon Disciple Feats
Shape of the Dragon (Feat 14)
|
Archetype
|
You've discovered how to transform yourself into a dragon. Once per day, you can cast 7th-level dragon form as an innate arcane spell, transforming into your chosen type of dragon. The spell automatically heightens to 8th level if you're 16th level and 9th level if you're 18th level. Any time you score a critical hit with an unarmed Strike gained from dragon form, you recharge the spell's breath weapon immediately.
16th Level Dragon Disciple Feats
Disciple's Breath [AA] (Feat 16)
|
Archetype
|
You unleash your breath weapon without spending focus. This has the effects of your dragon breath sorcerer bloodline spell, though it deals 9d6 damage instead of its usual damage, and you don't have to cast it or spend a Focus Point. You can't use Disciple's Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
