Homebrew *Sealed Dragon- Fury of the Five Fold Queen Species Details

( Furies of the Five Fold Queen) 

You are, a metallic dragon that was taken by the Cult of Tiamat. This sect of the cult of Tiamat took great satisfaction in turning those of metallic blood against their kin. The abducted children were treated cruelly, and trained within an inch of their lives for 12 years. 

Those that survive to their 13th year, are subjected to a blood ritual that binds them in human form. It is sealed with a magical brand (or tattoo) depicting the fangs of the Five Fold Queen in star formation. This brand acts as both shackle and activator for the subject. When the brand senses the blood of any other being with metallic blood or ancestry, it glows in Tiamat's colors, and forces the subject into a mind controlled, murderous rage. The subject must attempt to kill whatever activated it by any means available. A subject that tries to fight the activation is severely punished with debilitating pain, rendering it helpless. (So the handlers can control them if needed). Handlers can use the draconic words "rise/ kneel" to force an activation/punishment. 

Finally, the survivors are then turned against each other to the death in a final trial by combat. The victorious are christened as a "Fury" and presented with a dragontooth dagger- pulled from the very mouths of their metallic kin- Before having their memories subdued and being released back into an unsuspecting world.

The children have no memory of their draconic heritage, their true forms are deprived them, no memory of their time with the cult, and fully believing they are humans.

Though as a true dragon, draconic came as simply to you as breath- it is now denied you. The draconic language is a blurred memory. You cannot understand it. visually, it is mixed and illegible. Hearing it spoken forcefully will cause you pause, like a small child rebuked.

-----

Upon first seeing iconography of Tiamat, you are overwhelmed by a distant memory- a beast, bound in molten chain, roaring in agony over the sound of rhythmic chanting as the star brand approaches. This instance begins the weakening of the seal, and the addition of your ancestral breath weapon. 

The seal was never meant to weaken,, and as such, your sealed draconic power manifests in strange ways. (Roll on wild magic table)

At each milestone of the DM's choosing- usually relying on story moments- a new memory, or clearer memory of your time with the cult emerges, and with it, a slice of your once glorious power. (more options/ attacks will be added in the future)

 

 

*Sealed Dragon- Fury of the Five Fold Queen Traits

Rage of the Five Fold Queen

draconic breath

At 5th level, your racial breath weapons return to you, though much weakened by your human form.

"You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest."

 

Branded rage

The cult of Tiamat took great satisfaction in turning those of metallic blood against their kin. The abducted children were treated cruelly, and trained within an inch of their lives for 12 years. Those that survive to their 13th year, are subjected to a blood ritual that binds them in human form. It is sealed with a magical brand (or tattoo) depicting the fangs of the Five Fold Queen in star formation.

This brand acts as both shackle and activator for the subject. When the brand senses the blood of any other being with metallic blood or ancestry, it glows in Tiamat's colors, and forces the subject into a mind controlled, murderous rage. The subject must attempt to kill whatever activated it by any means available.

Activation- (failed save)
On presence of even a drop of shed metallic dragon/ anything with metallic ancestry's blood, brand glows and subject is forced into a murderous rage. Subject must attempt to kill whatever activated it. Effect ends on death of prey, death of subject, or subject being rendered unconsious. Subject remembers what it did in this state.

Punishment- (successful save)
Subject is rendered helpless by a wave of insurmountable pain. Acts as hold person. Subject may take no actions. Effect ends when subject is rendered unconscious.

Handlers- may force either effect with the draconic words "rise/kneel"- only the handlers have this ability. If a non handler says these words, there is no effect.
