The Dragon Slayer

The Dragon Slayers are specially trained fighters that excel at combating a specific species of dragon. But many have had practice facing such beasts. What makes the Dragon Slayers unique is that they were trained by dragons themselves to combat other dragons, having been given gifts and magics to make them a worthy fight for any draconic creature.

Draconic Teachings

When you choice this subclass, choose one type of following dragons whose teachings have changed the way you fight. You gain resistances to attacks associated with your choice.

Fire Dragon – resistance to fire damage

Iron Dragon – resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage from metal and nonmagical metal weapons

Sky Dragon – resistance to bludgeoning damage from wind and force damage

Lightning Dragon – resistance to lightning and thunder damage

Poison Dragon – resistance to poison and acid damage

Shadow Dragon – resistance to necrotic damage (shadows)

Light Dragon – resistance to radiant damage (light)

On the first attack against any dragon type enemy per round, you can add damage equal to a number of d6s equal to either your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier. This is your Draconic Ability Stat. You pick the ability stat when you choose this subclass and it will be used to calculate saving throws for other subclass abilities. The damage type is that of the original attack.

Additionally, when you attack a dragon with an immunity to your chosen elements, you bypass their immunity with any of your elemental damage. The dragon is now resistant to your damage instead of immune.
