Path of the Ancient Dragon

Barbarians who follow this path draw on the primal rage of ancient dragons. Whether through bloodline, a draconic blessing, or surviving a dragon’s fury, they embody the might, ferocity, and resilience of dragonkind.

 

Draconic Fury

 

 

• When you enter Rage, choose a dragon type (Red, Blue, Green, Black, White, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper, Brass).
• While raging, each melee weapon attack you hit adds an extra 1d4 damage of your dragon’s type (fire, cold, lightning, acid, or poison).
• This extra damage increases to 1d6 at level 10, and 1d8 at level 14.
• You also gain Draconic Presence: while raging, you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum +1) to Intimidation checks.

 

 

 

Draconic resistance

Draconic Resistance

 

• You gain resistance to the damage type associated with your dragon choice while raging.
• In addition, you can roar with draconic might: as a bonus action once per rage, force all creatures of your choice within 10 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency + Constitution modifier) or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

 

 

Dragon’s Wings

Dragon’s Wings

 

• When you rage, spectral draconic wings erupt from your back.
• You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed, but you must land before your rage ends or fall.

 

 

Ancient Dragon’s Wrath

Ancient Dragon’s Wrath

 

• Once per rage, when you take damage, you can use your reaction to unleash a Draconic Breath: a 30-foot cone or 60-foot line (your choice when you activate it) dealing damage of your dragon’s type equal to 3d10 + your Barbarian level (Dex save for half, DC = 8 + proficiency + Con modifier).
• Enemies that fail the save are also knocked prone by the force.
