Base Class: Warlock
You have made a pact with the ultimate predator, a being that pushes the boundary between creature and god, an Ancient Dragon. Different Dragons have different personalities and will make pacts for different reasons. Perhaps you stole from a Chromatic Dragon and now it feels you owe it a debt, or perhaps you performed a good enough deed to attract the attention of a Metallic Dragon. Whatever the reason your pact has been made and you have gained some of the abilities of a Dragon, both natural and arcane.
Choose one of the dragon types for your patron from the table below. Your choice will grant you features later.

Form of the Great Wyvern
At 10th level you can call upon your patron to grant you some of their majesty and might. As a bonus action you can gain a flying speed equal to your current walking speed for 1 minute. When you enter this form each hostile creature within 30 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Warlock save DC or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turn ending the effect on a success. When you are in this form you either become a dragonlike form of your normal self or a translucent form of your patron shimmers around you.
Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Great Wyrms Embrace
At 14th your patron has granted you access to their strongest ability, their breath weapon. As action you can exhale energy of the same type as your patron in a 30 foot cone. Any creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Warlock DC, taking 15d6 damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. The damage is the same as the one associated with your patron.
Once you use this ability you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
