Order of the Dragonbound

Even though it is still uncommon to run into Blood Hunters, there are some that have a rarer connection to the arcane than other orders. While some make deals with eldritch beings, try and tame the curse of lycanthropy, learn and use the art of mutagens, or gain insight into the ethereal realm, however some gain powers by making a sacred pact with a draconic being. These hunters are mostly rare as it is hard to gain word with a dragon but there are those that not only make contact with one, but the coveted power.

Spellcasting

Due to your contract, you have the ability to cast spells.

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips from the sorcerer's spell list. You can learn an additional cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots. The Dragonbound Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your sorcerer spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level sorcerer's spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the transmutation and evocation spells on the sorcerer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Dragonbound Spellcasting table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of 1st level or higher. 

A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 13th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability. Your chosen Hemocraft ability (Intelligence or Wisdom) is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, so you use your Hemocraft ability whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Hemocraft modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Hemocraft modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Hemocraft modifier
