Draconic Patron (Krynn)

Throughout the land of Krynn, and beyond, five ancient dragons sit in solitude. Those brave enough to seek their favor can, for a price, attain a portion of their might. A warlock who seeks out one of the five ancient and powerful dragons of the continent may gain a fraction of their immense power in exchange for unwavering servitude.

Whether it be Vorramyx, the Drowned King, the Withering Heart, the Harbinger of Despair; Velazrith, the Shifting Storm, the Crown of Chains, the Harbinger of Domination; Thalvraxis, the Unending Nightmare, the Harbinger of Distrust; Azrakul the Crimson Sovereign, the Breath of Ruin, the Harbinger of Doom; or Skalvryx, the White Death, the Harbinger of Desolation—these draconic patrons are often cunning and manipulative, sending their warlock envoys into the world as their eyes, ears, and instruments of will. Whether their aims are to amass wealth, infiltrate mortal societies, or uncover the schemes of their enemies, many ancient dragons rely on mortal agents to maintain their influence over the world.

Forging such a pact is a perilous endeavor. Few who seek this power ever obtain it—and those who do walk a razor’s edge. Dragons are known to devour their minions at the first sign of failure—or even a hint of disobedience. Should a patron suspect, even for a moment, that their warlock is not fully under their control, the consequences are swift and final. Yet for those few who prove their loyalty, the rewards are great—and their power only continues to grow.

Breath Weapon

3rd-level Draconic Pact feature

You have a breath attack that deals the same damage type associate with your chosen draconic patron. As a Bonus Action on your turn you can exhale a 30-foot line or a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area makes a Dexterity saving throw against your Warlock spell save DC, taking 2d8 damage of the chosen type on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.  

You regain the expended use of your Breath Weapon after a Short Rest. You can also expend a Warlock spell slot (no action required) to regain your use of it.

The damage and range of your breath weapon  increases as you gain Warlock levels.  

• 6th Level: 4d8 damage.  
• 10th Level: 6d8 damage, and you exhale either a 30-foot cone or a 60-foot line.  
• 14th level: 8d8 damage.

• Fire. The target has the Burning (fire) condition. The burning damage is a number of d6 equal to half the spell’s level, rounded down. 
• Acid. The target has the Burning (acid) condition. The burning damage is a number of  d6 equal to half the spell’s level, rounded down.

When a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of you,  you can use your Reaction to force them to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC.

Dragon Form

14th-level Draconic Patron feature

As a Bonus Action on your turn, you can surrender fully to your draconic patron, allowing its will to consume your own. Your body twists into a monstrous reflection of its power. In that moment, you are no mere warlock, but an avatar of your master’s might, a glimpse of the dragon you may yet become. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:  

• Your size increases by one category. 
• You grow wings and have a flying speed of 60 feet. 
• At the start of each of your turns, if you’ve expended your Breath Weapon, roll 1d6. On a 5 or 6, you regain your use of it. 
• Your armor class becomes 10 + your Dexterity  modifier + your Charisma modifier. 
• You gain advantage on Strength and Constitution ability checks and saving throws.
• If you fail a saving throw, you can reroll it with a bonus equal to your Warlock level. You must use the new roll, and you can’t use this feature again.
• You gain temporary hit points equal to five times your warlock level. 

Once you use this feature, you must finish a Long Rest before you may do so again. You can expend a warlock spell slot (no action required) to regain your use of it.
