Warlock
Base Class: Warlock

Dragons rarely take interest in mortal affairs, at best being distant and mostly uninterested and at worst cowing some nearby village or community into servitude and tribute.  On the rare occasion a dragon takes interest in a community or even an individual, they may invest one favored mortal with a sliver of their power either as a token of friendship or to establish more presence in their community.  You are one such being. Whether a pact forged from friendship or fear, you wield the might of dragons at your fingertips

How did you come to meet your patron? Roll on the table below or come up with a scenario of your own to detail when your servitude began

 

Dice

Scenario

1

A dragon ruling over your home village demanded a mortal from the community as part of their tribute. You were selected

2

While exploring the abandoned lair of a dragon, you found an artifact housing the dragon's soul and mind. It granted magic in exchange for letting it travel with you.

3

You developed a close relationship with a nearby dragon. Fearing for your safety, they granted you some of their magic to protect yourself.

4

A tyrannical dragon chose you to be their eyes and ears in the mortal world so that you can keep them informed of potential treasures to be had.

5

The kindly new neighbor of your village turned out to be a dragon. The stories and tales they shared with you were secretly investments of power.

6

A dragon has chosen your family as its charge, granting every member born to its line great power. You were next to inherit such power

Level 3: Dragons Mark

Your patron has marked you as theirs in some way. It could be as simple as a rune left on your body in the draconic language, your eyes may become slitted and glow with elemental power, scales matching your patron's coloration, fangs or claws replacing your teeth and nails.

Select a dragon type that reflects your patron: Chromatic, Gem, or Metallic.  If you choose Chromatic or Metallic when you cast a spell that requires an attack roll or saving throw that deals acid, cold, fire, poison, or lightning damage, you can change it to match the damage type of your patrons' breath weapon.  If you choose gem and cast a spell that requires an attack roll or saving throw that deals force, necrotic, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage, you can change it to match the damage type of your patrons' breath weapon.  When you change the damage type to match your patrons, you can deal an additional amount of damage on one of the rolls equal to your charisma modifier. The extra charisma damage does not apply to spells benefiting from agonizing blast 

In addition, you can speak draconic and have advantage on charisma checks when dealing with dragons matching the scale color of your patron
