Circle of the Dragontouched

The majesty of dragons often commands respect by those who consider themselves lesser beings than dragons. Sometimes, this manifests itself in cult-like worship. Other times, it manifests in a desire to be more like the dragons they so admire. Kobolds are a fine example of this hero worship as a culture. Those who follow this path and are successful are called the dragontouched.

Breath of the Dragon

Those who seek the power of dragons first learn the power of the dragon's breath. It is the basis for much of the fear surrounding the dragons' power. As a member of the Circle of the Dragontouched, it is the basis of their power as well. When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you learn to use your breath to emulate that belong to the dragons you aspire to become.

Breath Weapons. You learn to use one breath of your choice, which are detailed under "Breaths" below. You can learn to use additional breaths at 6th, 10th and 14th level.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 10th level, you can use it twice before a rest, and starting at 14th level, you can use it three times before a rest.

Breath Shape. Some breaths are cone shaped while other breaths are lines. If the breath is a cone, it starts off as a 15-foot cone. At 6th level, it becomes a 30-foot cone, at 11th level, it becomes a 60-foot cone, and at 16th level, it becomes a 90-foot cone. If the breath is a line, it starts off as a 20-foot line that is 5 feet wide. At 6th level, it becomes a 40-foot line, at 11th level, it becomes a 60-foot line, and at 16th level, it becomes a 90-foot line.

Starting at 6th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down. You can't use any legendary actions or lair actions of your new form. If your new form has a fly speed, you transform into a version without a fly speed.

At 8th level, you may transform into a version with a fly speed, as normal.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
