Path of the Wyrmblood

Those barbarians who choose the Path of the Wyrmblood undergo a ritual where the blood of a dragon is imbibed, granting them the strength of ancient wyrms. Their fury becomes a catalyst for their draconic transformations and abilities. Through fire and smoke, fury and blood, the Path of the Wyrmblood offers Barbarians an avenue to utilize their own form of blood magic.

Dragon's Blood

The black, blue, green, red, and white dragons represent the evil side of dragonkind. Aggressive, gluttonous, and vain, chromatic dragons are dark sages and powerful tyrants feared by all creatures — including each other.

The brass, bronze, copper, gold and silver dragons seek to preserve and protect, viewing themselves as one powerful race among the many races that have a place in the world.

After consuming the dragon's blood, your form physically changes to reflect the menacing visage of the wyrm. When you rage, you may grow horns or other bony protrusions, or a tail, or a forked tongue, or reptilian eyes, or any combination of these features.

Whichever type of dragon's blood you imbibe, you learn how to speak Draconic.

Blue Dragon

Vain and territorial, blue dragons soar through the skies over deserts, preying on caravans and plundering herds and settlements in the verdant lands beyond the desert’s reach.
