Homebrew Gold Dragon (form locked) Species Details
You are a mighty gold dragon; However, you have been form locked into humanoid form. Perhaps your parents turned you into an elf as a baby and left you to be raised by elves, until the day they reclaim you and grant you access to your true form once more. Or perhaps an evil wizard abused your good will, caught you in your human form, and laid a powerful curse that prevented you from returning to your true form. Whatever the reason, a humanoid form is one you now make due with. At least you maintain some of your draconic power.

Alignment
Per your heritage, you are typically aligned to Lawful Good, with a strong desire to help those around you, with no interest in having the credit for it. That said, the circumstances of your locked form could perhaps sway you to other alignments.
Size
Having been turned into a medium humanoid, your size is medium as well.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet and base swim speed is 15 feet, as you naturally move through water with ease.

Born of Fire
Despite being restrained by your limiting form, you are still resistant to fire damage, and can cast the Fire Bolt cantrip at will.
Eater of Gold
You can eat just about anything, but your preferred diet consists of gold, pearls, and gems. Thankfully, you don't need to gorge yourself on such wealth to feel satisfied. Gifts of treasure that you can consume are typically well received, as long as they aren’t bribes. For every 100g worth you eat, you gain the benefits of 1 hour of rest.
Invader of Dreams
You can communicate telepathically with any creature within 30 feet of you that knows a language, so long as it is asleep. You enter its dreams appearing in your true dragon form. You have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma checks made within the dream against the dreamer's corresponding stat. Failing any of these checks immediately ejects you from the dream and awakens the dreamer.
