Child of the Silver Tongue

Children of the Silver Tongue is the name given to the group of descendants of the ancient silver dragon, Yndrir. This dragon is best known for her incredible ability to influence the environment and creatures around her with her voice alone. In most scenarios, she would use this ability to promote peace and harmony in the tribes of man and beast around her. On rare occasions, though, she would use her power of speech to strike hard at her enemies, pushing them to the limits of their mental capacity and causing them to forget the very nature of who they once were. Her title, The Silver Tongued Dragon, now inspires either fear or reverence in those who hear it muttered in any space of the Forgotten Realms and other neighboring dimensions.

Through Yndrir's great understanding of the sound that makes up the fabric of the universe and the patterns of time, she hid small portions of her strength in her very genome to gift to a select few of her descendants so that they might carry on her traditions in their lifetimes as well. These descendants tend to be very gifted in both music and magic. They often carry with them the belief that they were born for a particular purpose, designed by Yndrir herself, and they will follow that purpose to the best of their abilities.

Draconic Gift

3rd-Level Child of the Silver Tongue feature

The moment your special genetics are activated, which often occurs by dangerous adventure, you are granted the following draconic gifts from your ancestor, Yndrir:

Thaumaturgy. You learn the thaumaturgy cantrip, which is a ranger spell for you.

Tongue of Dragons. You learn to speak, read, and write Draconic or one other language of your choice.

Perception of Sound. Music and magic are one and the same to a child of the silver tongue. You learn to listen to the music around you, granting you unlimited access to the detect magic spell as long as your sense of hearing is not inhibited.

Draconic Resilience. As magic flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon ancestors to emerge. At 3rd level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Silver Tongue

3rd-level Child of the Silver Tongue feature

This skill, which is commonly associated with the College of Eloquence, has been gifted to you by your ancestor, Yndrir. In a luminant vision, she has directed you to use it wisely.

You are a master at saying the right thing at the right time. When you make a Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) check, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Unsettling Words

6th-level Child of the Silver Tongue feature

This skill, which is normally attributed to 3rd-level bards of the College of Eloquence, was gifted to you by your draconic ancestor, Yndrir. In a dazzling vision, she has given you her blessing to twist the minds of your enemies in the same she does.

You can spin words laced with magic that unsettle a creature and cause it to doubt itself. As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration and choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. Roll the Bardic Inspiration die. The creature must subtract the number rolled from the next saving throw it makes before the start of your next turn.

Environmental Command

6th-level Child of the Silver Tongue feature

Your draconic ancestor, Yndrir, has revealed to you the musical language of the elements. In a colorful vision, you were in her presence as she sang songs that shaped the fire, earth, and water around her.

You learn three cantrips that count as bard spells for you, but don't count against the number of cantrips you can know: control flames, mold earth, and shape water

In addition, you can cast one of these cantrips as a bonus action, spending a bardic inspiration die to do so.

Dragon Wings

14th-level Child of the Silver Tongue feature

Your dragon ancestor, Yndrir, has now given you the ability to speak into existence wings like that of her own. In a magnificent vision, she showed you how to fly.

You gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

You can’t manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Mastery of Self

14th-Level Child of the Silver Tongue feature

Your draconic ancestor, Yndrir, has gifted you with the knowledge of your own design. In a mystical vision, she showed you how to rewrite the musical notes of your magical genome.
