While all half dragons aspire to assume their rightful true dragon form, those with enough experience can 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, giving it four limbs instead of the true dragon's six, including wings. Other times, the dragon form looks like that of a smaller-scale dragon of their ancestor's type. Regardless, the form drains those who use it, and as such, they are only able to stay in it for a limited period of 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.
Prerequisite: Half Dragon, Improved Breath Weapon
You are blessed by either Bahamut or Tiamat, granting you a lesser dragon form of your Draconic Ancestry's chosen dragon.
You gain blindsight out to a range of 10 feet.
You can use your bonus action to change into a large sized form of your ancestral dragon. Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. You may 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 may continue to do so. This form does not 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 may extend its duration by 1 minute, up to 10 minutes total.
This form 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 with a higher damage dice then you may use that one instead.
You count as being enlarged by the enlarge-reduce spell.
Your breath weapon immediately recharges after you change into your dragon form. Whenever you use your breath weapon during your Dragon Form, you may 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 equal to your level and of your chosen damage type to a single target you’ve damaged that turn. This only applies to those you've damaged with your bite attack, breath weapon, or spells.
You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your level. Your AC and other defensive boons remain the same (your scaled body parts can be used as your shield). However, your AC cannot be lower than 15 + your Dexterity or Strength modifier (your choice).
If you ascend to dragonhood, True Dragon Form replaces this Dragon Form. In which case, you may choose a new feat immediately instead of this one.
