Description
Song dragons, also known as "weredragons", are a type of dragon that live among humanity is in disguise.
True Form. Song dragons have the ability to shift between the form of a humanoid and a dragon. Their human guise is actually their true form, as it is believed that somewhere in the past, a common humanoid ancestor was gifted with the ability to change forms.
Hidden Within Society. Song dragons forgo most of the dragon stereotypes in order to live their long lives among humanity. Some may seek to amass a horde of sorts by working their way upwards through society, however there are just as many song dragons that are happy to remain average by all counts. Song dragons are almost never seen in their dragon form, only resorting to such measures if they are in great danger or need. They prize their secrecy above all else, so any song dragon will be hesitant to reveal what they truly are. There are some who defy this status quo, however, and use their draconic form to claim power over others. Such individuals are hated by song dragon society and seen as crass brutes.
Lair and Lair Actions
Lair and Lair Actions
Song dragon's usually find themselves incorporated into humanoid societies and usually search for some slightly powerful positions. Through these positions, they usually find ways to build lairs hidden away from prying eyes, with the exceptions of those most trusted by the dragon. Their lair usually filled with various trinkets that are of varying rarity, yet the dragon rarely goes to look at its hoard as it knows its secret isbest protect by only disappearing when humanoid societies would normally be asleep.
Lair Actions.
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- A strange smell emanates from the dragon, causing any creature that is currently looking at the dragon has to make a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by the dragon for 1d4 - 1 minutes.
- The dragon starts softly singing, the sound reaching a radius of 60 feet from the dragon. Every turn, all creatures within range that can hear has to make a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or become distracted and have to skip their turn. On a successful save, they ignore this effect for 1d4 turns.
- The dragon let's out a loud roar that shakes the room, loosening a few spikes built into the ceiling of the room. 3 creatures of the dragon's choice within 90 feet of it has to make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save you take 45 (10d8) or half as much on a successful one.
Regional Effects.
The region containing a legendary song dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effect:
- A veil of tranquility covers the land within 1 mile of the dragon's lair. This usually makes crime, aggression and violence rarer in the area.
- The dragon's lair is always well hidden and protected. This means that's there are certain places that will appear to lead to suspicious locations that have might have magical remnants that might make adventurers think that this might be the dragon's lair.
If the dragon dies, the veil of tranquility is lifted immediately and the magical remnants slowly disappear within 1d100 days.
