Displacer Bound

Your connection to the natural world takes the form of a fey spirit, which can manifest in physical form as a displacer beast. As your powers grow, your beast grows as well, blossoming from a small six-legged companion to a majestic creature large and strong enough for you to ride. Along the way, you gain an increasing share of the awe-inspiring power of displacer beasts and of the Fey.

Consider the source of the Fey spirit you have bonded with. The Displacer Bound Origin table offers examples.

Drakewarden Origin

Displacer Gift

3rd-Level Displacer Bound Feature

The bond you share with your beast creates a connection to feykind, granting you understanding and empowering your presence. You gain the following benefits:

Fey Born. Your fey qualities give you a supernatural charm. As a result, whenever you make a Persuasion or Intimidation check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

Fey Tongues. You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan or one other language of your choice.

Displacer Gift Skill Proficiency

You gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Intimidation or Persuasion

Intimidation

You gain proficiency in either Intimidation.

Persuasion

You gain proficiency in Persuasion

Displacer Beast Companion

3rd-Level Displacer Bound Feature

As an action, you can magically summon the Displacer beast that is bound to you. It appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of you.

The Displacer beast is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Displacer beast stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. 

Whenever you summon the Beast, choose a damage type listed in its Fey Essence trait. You can determine the cosmetic characteristics of the Displacer beast, such as its color, its fur texture, or any visible effect of its Fey Essence; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

In combat, the Displacer beast shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Displacer beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The Displacer beast remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the drake again, or until you die. Anything the Displacer beast was wearing or carrying is left behind when the drake vanishes.

Once you summon the Displacer beast, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to summon it

Bond of Fang and Fur

7th-Level Displacer Bound Feature

The bond you share with your Displacer beast intensifies, protecting you and stoking the beast’s fury. When you summon your Displacer beast, it grows stronger and gains a climbing speed equal to its walking speed.

In addition, while your Displacer beast is summoned, you and the beast gain the following benefits:

Beast Mount. The Displacer beast grows to Medium size. Reflecting your special bond, you can use the Displacer beast as a mount if your size is Medium or smaller. 

Magic Tentacles. The Displacer beast Tentacle attack deals magical piercing damage and is able to attack twice with a reach of 10 ft.

Displacement. As a bonus action you can activate displacement: You project an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. This ends at the end of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move. You can use a number of times equal to your PB, and replenish on a long rest.

Force Resistance

You gain resistance to the force damage.

Psychic Resistance

You gain resistance to the psychic damage.

Displacer Strike

11th-Level Displacer Bound Feature

As an action, you and your beast swap locations in a straight line within 30 ft, then you can make a melee spell attack against any creature within that line between you and your beast’s locations. On a hit, a target takes 8d6 force damage.

This damage is increased to 10d6 at level 15.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to use it again.

Perfected Bond

15th-Level Displacer Bound  Feature

Your bond to your Displacer beast reaches the pinnacle of its power. While your beast is summoned, you and the drake gain the following benefits:

Empowered Tentacles. The displacer beast's tentacle attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the type chosen for its Fey Essence (for a total of 2d6 extra damage). 

Never apart. As a bonus action you and your beast vanish in a mist of smoke, appearing at a location you can see within 60 ft of your original location. When you appear, you are mounted on your beasts and  creatures of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Reflexive Resistance. When either you or the beast takes damage while you’re within 30 feet of each other, you can use your reaction to give yourself or the beast resistance to that instance of damage. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
