You were brought into the service of a metallic or chromatic dragon. You may be his voice to the outside world, an entertainer, a simple maid or cleaner, or a even a slave. Regardless of your specific role, you are at the beck and call of your draconian master. Metallic dragons often treat their attendants well, giving them gifts and large spaces of their own. Chromatic dragons treat their slaves cruelly, giving them little unless specifically impressed with one's loyalty.
Work with your DM to figure out whether this service was willing or not. Did he rescue you from disaster? Does your entire family owe it a great debt? Or were you captured, sold, or blackmailed into slavery?
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, History
- Tool Proficiencies: One gaming set of your choice
- Languages: Draconic, and one of your choice.
- Equipment: A [Tooltip Not Found] (a reminder of your service), a book of dragon lore, Any simple weapon, [Tooltip Not Found], and a pouch containing 15 gp.
You have endured a long life of labor with this dragon. Whatever kind of dragon you serve/ed, other dragons of that type are friendly towards you, and perhaps tolerant of your friends. If you ever return to your original home, you will be welcomed by your master. (assuming you didn't run away) You also are proficient in Arcana when recovering lore on dragons.
