Base Class: Warlock
Dragons are both cunning and relentless, using their power to gather hordes of wealth and knowledge. Whether your power is drawn from a Red Dragon, using the essence of their scales to shield yourself from the heat of the nine hells or taking advantage of a Silver Dragons long life to learn forgotten secrets and uncover relics lost to time. Your patron will share the secrets of dragon blood to not only give you resistance to certain elements but also warp your magic to make your patrons elemental cruelty cover more than a breath. From using their power to give you claws that drip with the acid of a Black Dragon to changing the essence of an eldritch blast to a sickening blast of a Green Dragon's poisonous bile.
Path of the Wyrm melds great with the spell slinging ways of the tome, giving you more options to abuse your elemental gifts. As well as Blade, giving any fierce warlock extra defense to stay in the fray longer. No matter what kind of warlock decides to form a pact with an Ancient Dragon there are plenty of ways to enhance your magic and protect your skin, as well as your companions, from all sorts of danger including other Dragons seeking power and riches.
I hope this subclass can add some interest both in and out of combat for every table.
