Base Class: Barbarian
Dragonkith, "kith" translating to kin from Draconic, are creatures that serve and aid dragons. They live with or near a dragon or a group of dragons, acting as servants or peers (depending on the individual dragon and the dragonkith). In return for service, over time, the dragon bestows upon a dragonkith special abilities—and even physical changes—using complex rituals known only to their kind. Dragonkith are usually found in the company of their dragon companion. Sometimes they are alone, completing some errand for the dragon. Occasionally they work in small, tight-knit groups of dragonkith, all pledged either to the same dragon or to allied dragons.
Draconic Language
You can speak, read, and write Draconic, if you do not already.
Draconic Scales
A dragonkith overtime develops crusty scales the same color as their dragon lord. They make their natural AC 13 + Dexterity modifier + Constitution modifier.
Telepathic Plea
Wherever a dragonkith is, its dragon companion can send an instantaneous, telepathic plea for help at any time. No details are provided in the message, other than that the dragon is in danger. This communication does not work both ways (the dragonkith cannot alert the dragon).
Mighty Attack
Starting at 3rd level, a dragonkith can call upon their dragon’s might to deal an extra 1d6 damage on a single attack. You can use this feature equal to your barbarian level, regaining uses after you finish a long rest. This damage is increased to 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.
Draconic Resistance
At 6th level, the dragonkith gains resistance to their dragon’s damage from their breath weapon. This resistance becomes immunity at 14th level.
Detect Treasure
At 6th level, the dragonkith can use a detect treasure ability. This works like the detect magic spell, except that it senses Medium or smaller objects worth 100gp or more. They can tell exactly how much the item is worth and how much it weighs. You cannot use this feature until you finish a long rest.
Telepathic Link
At 10th level, a dragonkith develops a telepathic link with its dragon lord. The dragonkith and dragon can communicate telepathically. Because of this link, one has the same connection to an item or place as the other. For instance, if the dragonkith has seen a room, then the dragon has also seen the room, and as such can teleport there if they wanted to.
Draconic Knack
At 14th level, the dragonkith acquires the ability to cast a single spell in the sorcerer’s spell list, up to 4th level. For the instance that the spell has increased effects at higher levels, you count the spell as being 4th level. The spellcasting ability is Constitution, doesn't count as a spell so it can be used while raging, and doesn’t use somatic or material components. This can only be used once before having a long rest to regain the ability.
