Description
The Forge Dragon creates communities that contain mainly Artificers but it is not rare to find barbarians, fighters, or rarely a rouge. You will never find a full-caster such as a wizard or a druid. Their hoard will often exchange metals and weapons in exchange for enchantments.
These dragons seek out adventures that lack magic but are tired of being outclassed by their magical companions. They offer the adventurers magic items in exchange for metal and weapons. They force the adventurers to come back because if they do not the forge dragon can disable their weapons magical abilities or even turn the weapons against their owner.
These dragons grant the adventurers powers and can slowly will teach one of the adventurers, their prince, their art. Eventually they can transfer their draconic essence to their prince, this is their successor.
This dragon will not allow magic users into its lair, but not because of hate, because of fear. This dragon will not let other magic users threaten its power. It attempts to keep its followers away from spell casters even within their own party.
The outer appearance of this dragon is in line with all warden dragons and has an animal like appearance. This dragon has a porcupine like appearance with metal spikes that it has welded to its skin. They are naturally scaleless so they have artificial metal scales that are brought to them by their hoard. These dragons adorn these scales with intricate carvings. They are often shielded with enchanted armor and may carry rings carved with runes.
Although these dragons intents might seem evil they often are purely trying to keep their hoard safe. Some honestly believe that magic users are too wild and powerful to be trusted. They try to comfort those who join them and they try to help them by granting their wishes.
The level of control and oppression the dragon forces on its hoard is entirely up to it.
Lair and Lair Actions
Forge dragons can be found in a multitude of places but are often found near people or where people used to be. This way they can use scrap metals for their weapons. Often they settle in abandoned cities. In these cities they use the metal they are brought to rejuvenate the city in the hopes to attract more people to join their hoard. Younger dragons may be more nomadic and settle on the outskirts of cities.
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 mass illusion is casted over the city making it seem more beautiful than it truly is. Any creatures affected by it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the illusion.
- Metal walls are launched up from the ground in a 30ft radius
