Primeval Presence is most strongly associated with ancient dragon-blooded peoples such as the Drakaryn, whose mere bearing can evoke instinctive awe, fear, or deference rooted in prehistory. You carry the weight of something older than gods, an echo of primeval authority that unsettles even the mighty.
You gain the following benefits:
• Increase your Charisma or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Once per long rest, when you enter combat or a tense social encounter, you may assert your primeval presence. Creatures of your choice within 10 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC determined by the DM or your spell save DC if applicable). On a failure, a creature has disadvantage on its first hostile action against you.
• Dragons and dragon-blooded creatures have disadvantage on this saving throw.
This effect represents instinctive hesitation and ancient recognition rather than supernatural fear or magical compulsion.
