Immediately after you damage a creature with your Divine Smite, you can use your Channel Divinity  to deal the same damage to all creatures in a 30ft. cone from your initial target. After you total the amount of damage dealt by the attack using Divine Smite, all other creatures within the 30ft. cone take half as much damage, rounded down. This damage type from this attack is the same as your chosen element from the Dragon's Heart feature.

Level 3: Draconic Fear

As a bonus action, you may use your Channel Divinity feature to exude the frightful presence of your ancestry. Creatures of the paladin's choice within 10ft, up to their charisma modifier minimum of 1, must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equals 8+PB+CHA mod) or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat this saving throw  at the end of each of it's turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature succeeds the saving throw or ends the effect on itself, the creature is immune to this fear effect for 24 hours.

The distance of this fear increases to 30ft. at 10th level.

Level 7: Aura of Draconic Might

You emanate an aura representing the might of your associated dragon. Either flames flit around you, the air around you sparks with lightning, objects corrode faster, or there is a chilling cold that can be seen forming around your presence. Whenever you or a friendly creature in your Aura of Protection damages with a weapon attack, you may add 1d6 damage of your associated dragon type to the roll.

In addition, elemental damage you deal that is associated to your dragon type to enemies that are within your Aura of Protection ignores resistance. At level 18, this effect extends to your allies.

Level 15: Draconic Menace

Your presence unnerves your enemies, causing them to falter by the fierceness of your scorn. Whenever a creature you can see within 30ft. succeeds on a saving throw, you can use your reaction to impose a penalty to the roll equal to your Charisma modifier, minimum of 1. If a creature were to fail the saving throw due to this feature, they take 2d6 plus your charisma modifier damage of your associated dragon type. You can use this feature an amount of times equal to your proficiency mod, and you regain all uses per long rest.

Level 20: Imperatoris Draconis

At 20th level, your form becomes more draconic in appearance and you gain effects of a true dragon. As a bonus action, you may Activate Draconic Form and gain all the features for 1 minute, or until you deactivate it.
