Homebrew Deamonic Wraith dragon Species Details

When a person thinks about the peak of strength, they may think of the branding fear of demons, the world molding power of dragons or the magical manipulation of a lich. this is trinity of tyrannical tyranny is a combination of all three.

A creature of such power cannot be born, but grafted onto a willing body and soul. There are 5 steps towards achieving this form.  

 Step one.

In order to start this transition you body must be open to change on all three planes , that being the mind, body and soul. In order to start this change you must prepare your body to writhe in the flames of damnation and sin in which your soul will spend in when fate takes you.

You must form a pact with a spirit or entity and have it change you into fiend spawn (teifling).

with this step you gain the benefits of fire resistance.

Step Two

Now your body has began the transformation but your body may begin to settle in this form, in order to stop this you must carve a magical seal onto your body, this will keep your three planes from hardening, if this happens, then continuing this path will no longer be an option. where on your body does not matter, as long as its carved into you skin as so it does not leave your body, the blade in question must be made from the bone of a malevolent creature and covered in the cinder from a pyre.

Step Three.

The second part of this trinity of terror is the part that sores through the sky, changes climates, destroys forests, levels cities and spins tales with its very existence. The dragon.

In order to meld this mighty creature with your own, you must slay one, it must be an adult or older, afterwards you carve the symbol below around the grave with the carving tool allocated to the dragon type, then you must gather its blood, then places it into a grave and fill it enough so that you are completely covered. the grave must be placed inside the triangle, the symbol must be shaped with something which represents the dragons type.  

sulfur = red

coal socked in acid = black

an holly wood that has been struck by lightning = blue 

a dragon tooth socked in basilisk venom = green

an icicle with yeti blood inside = white 

an Amethyst shard with a graviturgy rune carved into the side of it = Amethyst 

an emerald with a illusion rune carved into the side = emerald

a Sapphire with a Evocation rune carved into the side = Sapphire 

a diamond with a broken holy rune wrapped around it = crystal 

 

Once all these steps have been taken, you must smother yourself in the grave for one full day, the older the dragon, the less time with an ancient dragon being half a day.

Depending on the item used to draw the symbol, you will be privy to its power.  

With this step you gain flight, a breath weapon which coincides with type of dragon used in the ritual and proficiency with con saves.

 

Step Four

You have gained much power taking these steps, but these next two are by far the most difficult though this one is by far the shortest and most open ended one.

Commit an act of unparalleled evil, weather it be murdering an innocent, forcing someone into a fate worse then death, betray your oath or something of equal evil.   

Step Five

Here we are, at the edge of the cliff, about to drop off into pure, ungovernable power, the world will be yours to mold, but now you must make one last move, becoming a Wraith templar.

In order to do this you must first create a Phylactery, which will house a part of your very soul

Creating Your Wraith templar Phylactery

A Wraith templar phylactery is the item that holds the Wraith templar soul, allowing it to age and reform without the looming threat of death. If your physical body is destroyed, the phylactery reforms your body within 5ft of it after 1d10 days from an eerie fog wafting out from the phylactery. Your phylactery must be a non magical item with the choice of item being of your preference. If it is an object that was crafted, it must be of exceptionally high quality. The object must be prepared with marks of binding made of silver, which costs 5,000g to inscribe. Your phylactery has AC10, 30HP, and resistance to all damage. You are mentally linked to your phylactery and see it as if you are using the Scrying spell at will. If your phylactery is destroyed, your soul returns to your body temporarily and you must create a new one using the same methods. If you do not possess a phylactery when your physical body is destroyed, both your body and soul are lost forever. Only divine intervention can restore your form. To prepare an object to receive your soul, you must succeed on a DC 20 Arcana check. Failing this check destroys the item and you may not attempt it again until the next day. Upon a success Arcana check the object is spiritually linked to you, allowing you to detect it at any distance as long as you are on the same plane as it. The object will stay open to you for one week, where it will close off to you forever if the Lich ascension has not occurred yet. You may also use magical items as phylacteries so long as the item does not contain a soul already.

Brewing the Wraith templar Conversion Potion

The Wraith templar  Conversion Potion is a vile mixture made of numerous poisons and the blood of various creatures. By drinking this deadly potion, you embrace the ingredients' natures of life and death for the last time before ascending into undeath as a Wraith templar. The potion's ingredients must be consumed within the one week period of your phylactery being in the soul receiving state. Depending on the ingredient used, the potion may or may not being prepared ahead of time, and then consumed when appropriate. Material Components The potion used in the Lich ritual must be brewed from five of nine of the following ingredients:

• A vial of wyvern's blood
• A vial of Manticore venom
• A vial of pure Arsenic
• Crushed Belladonna
• A crushed Unicorn horn
• A pint of Griffon's blood
• A pint of Vampire's blood
• A pint of specially prepared ale that has had the spell book or brain of another spell casting creature soaked in it for 24 hours.
• The heart of a sacrificed humanoid. The humanoid must have been sacrificed within 1 hour of the potion being created and is used as a container for the potion rather than an ingredient. If used as an ingredient, the heart must be consumed immediately after drinking the potion.

Once the potion has been drank, you will die, after 3 days you will rise again with your new powers along side you.

with this final step you gain an aura of detect magic, the undead race traits and resistance to none magical damage.

All of these traits do not replace your current races traits but add onto them.
