As you strive to ascend to dragonhood, you have gained a lesser dragon form of your Draconic Ancestry's dragon. While all half dragons aspire to assume their rightful true dragon form, only those truly dedicated to this goal will be blessed with a lesser dragon form. This form varies in appearance, but it always looks similar to the half dragon's draconic ancestry. Sometimes it has wings like a wyvern, with four limbs instead of the true dragon's six, including wings. Other times, the dragon form looks like a smaller or more humanoid version of their dragon ancestor. Regardless, the form drains those who use it, and as such, they are only able to stay in this form for a limited time. Afterwards, these half dragons require rest in order to regain access to this form. Despite its power and majesty, the dragon form pales in comparison to the ascension to dragonhood. And this gift only makes them strive harder to achieve their true and ultimate form.
- You gain blindsight out to a range of 10 feet.
- You can use your bonus action to change into a large sized form based on your ancestral dragon. Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. You can regain this form after finishing a long rest. Your weapons merge with you, and the magical bonuses of your equipped melee weapons are transferred to your bite attack. If you are able to attack with your claws, wings, or tail then you can continue to do so. This form doesn't hinder class abilities or spellcasting, nor the use of spell components. In addition, for each minute that you haven't entered combat while in this form, you can extend its duration by 1 minute, up to 10 minutes total.
This transformation grants you the following benefits:
- You gain a flying speed of 30 feet
- You gain a bite attack, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d8 (2d6 if you were wielding a twohanded weapon) + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). Your bite counts as a finesse weapon. If you originally had a bite attack that uses higher damage dice, then you can use those damage dice instead.
- You gain the effects of the Enlarge option from the enlarge/reduce spell.
- Your Breath Weapon trait immediately recharges after you change into your Dragon Form. When you use your breath weapon during your Dragon Form, you can empower it with one of the three empower options of the Improved Breath Weapon feat without expending an empower point. The rules of the feat remain the same.
- Once per turn, you can deal bonus damage (of your chosen dragon's damage type) equal to your level to a single target you have damaged that turn.
