The Dragon

You have been blessed with the power of an Ancient Dragon. You may have slain a dragon and ate its heart to gain its power, perhaps you consider dragons gods among mortals and serve them gladly, or perhaps you are blessed by Tiamat or Bahamut themselves; whatever the reason, you have been touched by dragon magic and have commenced a transformation.

Draconic Patron

At 1st level, the draconic magic that was bestowed unto you manifests in your physical body. Each of your hands transforms into a claw, which you can use as a light melee weapon with the finesse property if it’s empty. Both claws may count as a single pact weapon for Pact of the Blade. Each claw attack deals 1d6 slashing damage on a hit. When you attack with these claws, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.

At Warlock level 6 the attacks deal an additional 1d6 of your dragon patron's damage type. This additional damage increases again at Warlock level 10 (2d6) and Warlock level 14 (3d5).

Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your dexterity modifier and you can read and speak Draconic.

Dragon Transformation

At 14th level, you can allow your draconic magic to completely take control of your body, transforming into a dragon for 1 hour using an action. Your ability to transform recovers after a long rest.

You can stay in a dragon shape for 1 hour. You then revert to your normal form. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the dragon, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
• When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
• You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
• You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
  
  While transformed, use the Dragon Transformation Statblock.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
