Draconic Transformation

15th-level Dragon Knight feature

At 15th level, your dedication to to your dragon has further altered you physically as you grow wings and a tail, matching those of your dragon's type. The resistance you gained from the Elemental Blessing feature turns into an immunity as the scales cover more of your body.

You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed plus 20. In addition, your new tail is able to aid you in performing athletic feats and fighting in combat. You gain advantage on athletic checks and gain the Tail Strike, Tail Sweep, Tail Coil and Tail Kickoff abilities. For abilities that require a saving throw, the DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your constitution modifier.

Tail Strike - Your tail is a natural melee weapon with 5ft range. It deals 1d10 + your strength modifier magical bludgeoning damage and you are proficient with this weapon.

Tail Sweep (bonus action) - You can sweep your tail around you to try and knock over anyone that gets too close. Every creature within 5ft of you must make a dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 + your strength modifier magical bludgeoning damage and get knocked prone. This damage can benefit from the Elemental Blessing feature.

Tail Coil (bonus action) - You can attempt to coil your tail around a medium or smaller creature within melee range. Make a Tail Strike against a creature within range. On a hit they don't take the normal damage and are instead restrained. The creature can attempt to make a contested athletics check as an action on their turn to escape. If you have the Elemental Blessing feature active when you use this bonus action, the creature takes the bonus damage from that feature at the start of each of their turns as long as they are restrained by this ability. If you have a creature restrained by this ability, you can't use any other abilities granted by this feature,  but can drag the restrained creature when you move as part of your movement.

Tail Kickoff (bonus action) - You use your tail to make a jump of extraordinarily long distance. Make an athletics check. You immediately jump up to that many feet in any direction. This doesn't count against your movement for this turn.

Draconic Awakening

18th-level Dragon Knight feature

Starting at 18th level, your abilities from your dragon become fully awakened. You gain an aura of fear and when you use the attack action on your turn, you can empower your first attack with a flying charge, as long as you have one hand free. You can use this flying charge attack a number of times equal to your constitution modifier per short rest.

Aura of Fear - Each creature of your choice within 60ft of you must make a wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your constitution modifier) or become frightened of you for 1 minute. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Once a creature succeeds on a saving throw against this ability, or the effect expires, the creature is immune to this ability for the next 24 hours.

Flying Charge - You move up to half your flying speed towards a medium or smaller creature. If you are within 5ft of the creature at the end of this movement you attempt to grapple them (strength or dexterity saving throw, DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your strength modifier). If you successfully grapple them, they are dragged along the floor, taking 2d10 bludgeoning damage and an additional 2d10 damage of the type linked to your dragon as you move up to half your flying speed again before throwing the creature up to 10ft in any direction. If they collide with a wall or similarly strong object, they take another 2d10 bludgeoning damage and the wall/object takes the maximum damage from the impact. The movement from this attack counts against your movement for this turn and can't benefit from the Elemental Blessing feature.
