Dragonsoul heir Dragonsoul heirs , also known as dragon disciples , are an elite form of dragon sorcerer s . These spellcasters tap into the lingering residue of dragon blood within their bodies , unleashing it in the form of draconic abilities . As a dragonsoul heir progresses along the path they began , their physical appearance begins to change , becoming more and more dragon like as they realize the power within their blood . Dragonsoul heirs , as such , emulate the sorcerous power of some of the most powerful dragons . Culture . It is an accepted fact that , from time to time , dragons choose to take humanoid form . In some such cases , the dragon mates with one of the humanoid species , usually leaving behind the child . While such cases , and the half - dragon s who result , are extraordinarily rare , they are common enough that individuals with a smaller fraction of draconic blood are not entirely uncommon , nor are those who have been exposed to draconic power through other means , such as the unnatural fusing of dragonic blood to their bodies . Such people may not even be aware of their draconic features and , in most ways , are the same as any normal member of their race . However , as a result of their ancestry , many have a natural grasp of the arcane . After realizing their potential and draconic roots , many dragonsoul heirs prefer to use their abilities actively , rather than keeping them a secret or using them for personal amusement . Many are active explorers , adventurer s , or other wanderers who find themselves drawn to the lairs of ancient dragons . A great many have barbarian , fighter , or ranger training , though some also come from a bard ic or purely sorcerous background . Regardless of their origins and purpose , nearly all of the dragonsoul path choose to emulate in full the power of the world ' s most powerful dragons , wreathing themselves in the elements and turning away from few challenges . To the well - trained dragonsoul heir , they aren ' t the descendants of dragons or individuals touched by their power . They " are " dragons . Abilities . Sorcerers who seek to emulate the power of the dragons gain a number of abilities from their spell source . At the most basic level , dragonsoul heirs have an enhanced degree of resilience and durability , their ability to recover from injuries increasing as does their overall resistance to injury . With time , a dragonsoul heir begins to develop the scales of their draconic ancestor . These scales are almost invisible at first , but begin to develop and harden as the dragonsoul heir develops the power in his blood . Along with this armor comes the actual physical appearance of an obviously draconic creature as a later progression . Additionally , each dragonsoul heir gains enhanced resistance to the elemental energies wielded by the type of dragon from which they draw their power . Dragonsoul heirs gain access to a number of spell s which emulate the arcane power of dragons . Early on , dragonsoul heirs develop a breath weapon spell , " breath of the dragon soul " , similar to that of their draconic ancestor , a spell which sometimes increases in power as the dragonsoul heir develops further along their path . The form of this breath weapon depends on the draconic heritage of the dragonsoul heir . Another such spell is " dragon ' s revenge " , which dragonsoul heirs use to lash out against those who would injure them . A few dragonsoul heirs become yet more dragon - like by gaining outwardly draconic features . For instance , some dragonsoul heirs form wings and gains the ability to fly . Others go still further and become actual half - dragons , giving them a fully - powered breath weapon , an increase in physical power and charisma , greater resilience , the ability to see in low - light conditions , and an immunity to a variety of effects , including the type of energy their breath weapon uses .
