Ranger - Dragon Lord

Rangers who follow the path of the Dragon Lord form an unparalleled bond with dragons, becoming their trusted allies and guardians. They embody the power and majesty of dragons, gaining access to their abilities and channeling their elemental forces. Dragon Lords serve as the protectors of dragonkind, defending them from threats and using their draconic powers to bring justice and balance to the world.

Draconic Bond

At 3rd level, when you choose the Dragon Lord subclass, you establish a bond with dragons and gain insight into their ways. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill if you don't already have it. Additionally, you can speak, read, and write Draconic.

Dragonkin Heritage

Also at 3rd level, you gain a measure of draconic power in your bloodline. Choose one type of dragon: Black, Blue, Green, Red, or White. This choice determines the damage type associated with your Dragonkin Heritage, as well as the additional benefits you gain at higher levels.

- Black Dragonkin: Acid damage. You gain resistance to acid damage and can hold your breath for up to 15 minutes.

- Blue Dragonkin: Lightning damage. You gain resistance to lightning damage and have advantage on saving throws against being paralyzed or stunned.

- Green Dragonkin: Poison damage. You gain resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.

- Red Dragonkin: Fire damage. You gain resistance to fire damage and can use your bonus action to exhale fire in a 15-foot cone. Creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking fire damage equal to your Ranger level on a failed save, or half damage on a successful one. This ability recharges after a short or long rest.

- White Dragonkin: Cold damage. You gain resistance to cold damage and have advantage on saving throws against being blinded or frightened.

Draconic Presence

Starting at 7th level, your connection to dragons allows you to command a measure of their presence. As an action, you can unleash your Draconic Presence, exuding an aura of authority. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Draconic Resilience

At 11th level, your bond with dragons enhances your physical and mental resilience. You gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened, and you have resistance to the damage type associated with your Dragonkin Heritage.

Draconic Transformation

Starting at 15th level, you can tap into your draconic nature and assume a more powerful form. As an action, you can enter a Draconic Transformation for 1 minute. During this time, you gain the following benefits:

- Your size becomes Large.

- You gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed.

- Your attacks deal additional damage equal to your Ranger level of the damage type associated with your Dragonkin Heritage.

- You have resistance to all damage except for force damage.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
