Base Class: Blood Hunter
The order of the dragon was created for one reason, to hunt and kill chromatic dragons plaguing the land. They aren't as prevalent as they once were, but if anyone in wild mount wants a dragon to be slain the order is the first place they turn. Using a ritual similar to the other orders, the blood hunter is infused with draconic essence. The blood hunter must sneak into the lair of a dragon and steal a dragon scale and tooth that will be used in the ritual. The ritual allows the blood hunter to take on a hybrid form similar to that of a Dragonborn, gifting many of the draconic traits that make hunting them easier.
Dragon Sense
Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to hone your dragon tracking skills. You can focus your senses as an action to magically discern the distance and direction to the closest dragon within 10 miles of you.
Draconic Transformation
Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to learn to control the draconic blood that lives within you. As a bonus action, you can transform into your Draconic form for up to 1 hour. You can speak, use equipment, and wear armor in this form. You can revert to your normal form earlier as a bonus action. You automatically revert to your normal form if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
In the Character Builder, set the option for Draconic Transformation to Draconic Form to activate the bonuses for that form on the character sheet.

Posted Apr 20, 2020The player noticed that when in the draconic transformation features that he had features Feral Might and Bloodlust from the order of the lycan and that every time he transformed they increased by one each in features and traits.
It, however, doesn't seem to add anything to unharmed strike (Feral Might would have added 1 to its damage) but just a thing he and I noticed while testing it out a little.

Posted Apr 19, 2020Just one question about the colors of the draconic transformation. Is the idea that you can choose the color every time you transform using your bonus action or do you choose one from the start and that is the one you are stuck with until level 11 when you can start to change resistances and breath weapon types?
