Path of the Dragon Soul

You have become infused with the ancient draconic language, allowing you to harness words of power. You can channel your rage into powerful shouts for various magical effects.

Shouts

Starting at third level you have learned to channel your rage into powerful shouts. You gain two Shout options of your choice from the list below. Shouts have different ‘levels’ that determine the cooldown it imposes on your ability to use another Shout, and all shouts have augmented effects when cast at higher levels. Unless otherwise specified, a Shout requires you to be raging. You can concentrate on Shout even while raging and cannot concentrate on a Shout if you are not raging.

1st Level: No cooldown

2nd Level: 1 minute

3rd Level: until your next short rest

During a cooldown period, you are unable to cast any Shout, however you can still maintain concentration on one.

Refer to the Shout to determine the maximum number of times you can cast each level of Shout based on your barbarian level. Taking a long rest resets your Shout limits.

Barbarian Level	1st Level	2nd Level	3rd Level
3rd	1	-	-
6th	2	1	-
10th	3	2	-
14th	3	2	1
18th	4	3	1

Shout Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Shout Attack Bonus = Your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

This effect also forces a magically hidden creature to attempt another saving throw

3rd Level:
Increase the range to 1 mile, the duration to 24 hrs, and the Shout now strips all targets of magical invisibility. You can designate any number of creatures to not be stripped of their invisibility.

Dragon Soul

Starting at 3rd level you are able to channel the energy of dragon souls to power your abilities.

Whenever you participate in the defeat of a dragon, you can spend a short rest immediately after its death to absorb its soul. Souls can be spent in two ways. You can use 2 collected souls to learn a new Shout, and as an action you can expend a dragon soul to regain a quarter of your hitpoints (rounded down). You can also use 1 collected soul to swap out any number of your learned Shouts for different ones. Stronger dragons give more power than others. Gain 1 soul from the defeat of a Young Dragon, 2 souls from an Adult Dragon, and 3 souls from an Ancient Dragon. Wyrmlings have not yet accumulated enough draconic power to siphon their energy and grant no souls. Carrying around dragon souls has other effects. Any dragon can sense your presence while you are within 1 mile of it or its lair per soul you have stored. It does not know your location, only that you are nearby (and are Dragon Soul). Any dragon that can see you while you carry dragon souls immediately recognize you as a Dragon Soul.

Dragon Hunter

You draw your power from the ancient draconic way of the Voice. You wield supernatural power against these creatures. Starting at 6th level, you gain the following benefits.

-You can sense the presence of living dragons nearby. You are always aware if you are within 1 mile of a living dragon, and you can determine if any creature is a dragon in disguise (such as the effects of a polymorph or alter self spell) unless the dragon succeeds on a Charisma (Deception) check against your Wisdom (Insight) check, you gain a +10 bonus to your insight for this purpose. You do not automatically know the location or direction of the dragon.

-You gain advantage on Wisdom saving throws against being frightened by a dragon’s Dragon Fear effect.

-Gain proficiency in Charisma (Intimidate) if you are not proficient already.

Dragonfoe

The more powerful you grow in the Voice, the more familiar you are with its use. Starting at 10th level you gain the following benefits.

-You can hear the rumblings of the ancient draconic language that dragons use to intone their abilities. You have advantage on all saving throws you make to resist the effects of a dragon’s breath weapon or enemy Shout so long as you can hear the source. In addition, you take only half damage on a failed save, and no damage on a successful one.

-You can read, write, and speak Draconic. You can also hear and understand the ancient draconic language, although you can only speak it through Shouts.

-Dragons have disadvantage on saving throws against your Shouts.

-Taking a short rest refreshes the number of 1st level Shouts you can cast, but not 2nd or 3rd level Shout.

Signature Shout

Your soul has become comfortable with the intonations of the ancient draconic language. At 14th level, pick one Shout you know. You gain the following benefits with that Shout.

-You can cast the Shout at 1st level without counting toward your limit a number of times equal to half your charisma modifier rounded up (minimum 1) per long rest.

-When casting this Shout for free, you can choose to expend 1 or 2 dragon souls. When you do so you can cast the Shout at 2nd or 3rd level respectively instead of 1st. Empowering a Shout in this way also ignores any cooldown limitations. Once you empower a Shout in this way you cannot do so again until you have completed a short rest.

-You can add twice your proficiency modifier to a Charisma (Intimidate) check by intoning your voice with hints of the ancient draconic language.

-You can spend dragon souls to gain extra uses of the Voice. Gain an additional use per level per soul you spend. (Spending 1 soul grants you 1 additional use of a first level Shout per long rest) Extra uses gained this way last for 1 week, refreshing on long rests like normal. You can only have a number of extra uses of Shout levels equal to or less than your charisma modifier. (Example: A level 14 Dragon Soul Barbarian with a Charisma of 16(+3) can only have a combined total of +3 extra Shouts from dragon souls, 3 1st level Shouts, a 1st and 2nd level Shout, or a single 3rd level Shout)

Dragon Aspect

At 18th level you gain mastery over the Voice such that you can assume the shape of a dragon. Learn the Shout Dragon Aspect for free.

Dragon Aspect

Casting Time: 5 minutes      Range: self
Duration: 8 hours

You cannot spend dragon souls to learn this Shout, but gain it for free at Barbarian level 18.
This Shout can only be cast at 3rd level, but does not impose the normal cooldown for a 3rd level Shout.

3rd Level:
You assume the form of any metallic or chromatic adult dragon for the duration, following the same rules as detailed in the Polymorph spell with some exceptions. You can continue to use Shouts while in dragon form, the duration is 8 hours instead of 1. You cannot use any legendary or lair actions associated with the dragon form. You may spend dragon souls when you cast this Shout. Reduce the casting time by 1 minute for each soul spent (minimum of 1 action to cast when using 5 souls)
