Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Draconic Fear. You can use your Channel Divinity to exude the fear of Sardior. As an action, you force each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Draconic Breath. You can use your Channel Divinity when you take the attack action on your turn to replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 15-foot cone or 30-foot Line 5 feet wide. Each creature in the area or line must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC=8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of a type of your choosing from the following: psychic, radiant, or thunder. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10). You also gain better control of your normal Breath Weapon ability if you have one. Allowing you to choose between a cone 15-foot wide or a line 5-foot wide by 30-foot long
Aura of Sardior
Beginning at 7th level, you exude an aura of strength to those around you. You and any friendly creatures within 10 feet of you has resistance to one damage type of your choosing from the following: psychic, radiant, or thunder. You can change this type as a bonus action and it remains until you change it again. You must be conscious to grant this bonus.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Dragon's Might
Starting at 15th level, your attunement to the essence of Sardior further strengthens your ability to channel his might. Whenever you use your Draconic Breath, its range changes from 15 feet to 30 feet and the line range increases from 30- feet to 60-feet. This also increases for any normal Breath Weapon ability you may have. Alternatively, when activating your Draconic Fear all affected creatures now make their saves with disadvantage
Echo of Sardior
Your devotion to Sardior has earned you the right to adopt the form of his thanes. At 20th level, as an action, and as per the description of the [spell]shapechange[spell] spell, you transform into an Adult Gem Dragon of your choice (Amethyst, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz). You ignore the spellcasting components of the spell and cast it without a spell slot, but otherwise follow the spell's limitations as if cast by you. If you decide to change your form while transformed, you can only choose a different variant of an Adult Gem Dragon. After using this feature once, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Consult the Monster Manual for detailed descriptions and stat blocks for each Adult Gem Dragon type
