Dragon's Chosen (5e Class)
Dragon's Chosen[edit]
|
|---|
| From Wallup [1] |
The human is tiny in comparison to his draconic companion, gazes over the land. Spying some travelers about to be waylaid by bandits, he calls out to his friend as he rushes to aid the humans. The would-be bandits laugh at his foolishness until the dragon appears on the other side of the road, as if from nowhere. Surprised and off guard, they quickly fall before the two. Climbing on his dragon's back, the human salutes the awed travelers as they vanish into the sky.
The human flings bolts of lightning, holding the demons back. Falling back, she suddenly raises her hands and cries out. A mighty thunderstorm rises in a place where there was no weather, and the demons are fried to oblivion. The human falls to her knees exhausted, and smiles as her dragon makes a quip about the overly dramatic display.
Fighting for his life, the dragonborn stumbles back as a moment's respite appears. To his left, his dragon fights her best to slay the hoard of infinite goblins. Glancing back at the village that didn't care to help them, he fights his way to her side. Melding their minds, they charge as one, slaughtering goblin after goblin. Their only thoughts are to keep each other safe.
Dragon's Chosens are just that - warriors who were chosen by an dragon and permits to fight at his side - but they are also much more. They are powerful magicians who astound other spellcasters with their feats of magic. They are warriors who can topple champions and best heroes. They are the few who would offer a parental hand to a wyrmling with no one to turn to. They would dare to raise a dragon in a world where dragons are feared as monsters or looked to as gods. They walk the lands below and fly the skies above. Two parts of one force. They are all that and more. They are the Dragon's Chosen.
The Bond[edit]
Some might look down on a dragon with the Bond, as it loses much of its freedom, and its size and power also depend on the Contractor's power. But they don't know that the dragon only becomes fragile for the contractor's benefit, otherwise its immense power can destroy the contractor.
Not to mention that dragons choose the contractor of their own volition. Their contractors mean more to them than any other treasure they can find, not to mention that together with the contractor, they become fearsome. Two creatures connected, sharing everything. The dragon may have lost some of its independence, but it gained something just as great, a friendship, a love, that transcends species and time.
Important Disclaimer[edit]
For reasons of ease, style of play, actions in combat, and the very bond between the player character and the dragon, the player must also control the dragon and have access to its sheet, but he and the master must be alert and always remember that the dragon is not the servant of the character, he has his own will and thoughts.
Creating a Dragon's Chosen[edit]
When playing a Dragon's Chosen, think about the following questions to decide why you would want to play this character.
Do you want to play a character who has a partner by his side? Do you want to ride a powerful mount into battle? Do battle as your dragon keeps enemies at bay with its fangs and claws? Fight side by side with a dragon, growing up with you?
Remember, for this class, while the dragon has strength and vitality, you must be the agile ant that will help you with arrows or magic.
Quick Build[edit]
You can make a Dragon's Chosen quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma or Dexterity or Strength, should be your highest ability score, followed by the one of the others. Second, choose the Folk Hero background.

Soulbound[edit]
Your soul is now bonded to that of a dragon.
This dragon is your companion and friend. He will fight for you with all his strength, and you for him.
If you or your dragon start making death saving throws, the other is distracted over concern for their partner, they have disadvantage on all checks, saving throws, and attack rolls not attempted to help their partner until their partner is either stabilized or dead. If either you or your dragon dies, the remaining one the tension in your bond hampers your body and focus, you take psychic damage equal to 2 times your character level when it dies and should make an Intelligence saving throw (DC 20), if succeed, they retain their sanity, if failed, they become permanently insane (permanent madness) until their partner is resurrected. They cannot be cured of this madness through any other means, you only regain your sanity when you can cure the dragon without any interruptions.
- Your bound is strong enough to bring each other back to life, you both can use True Resurrection as a cantrip, but only to save each other. And the requisite is 50 GP instead of the original 25000 GP in diamonds.
- You gain the benefit of learning to speak, read, and write Draconic.
- With your shared bond, the dragon always knows what you want from him and what he wants from you. Furthermore, if the distance between you and the dragon is not more than 1km, then you can enjoy telepathic communication without any limitation.
- You gain the same lifespan as a dragon, regardless of your original race. Additionally, you stop aging physically, both naturally and magically, you are immune to being aged.
The Dragon rolls initiative like any other creature, but you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on.

- As a reaction, you can use your wings as a shield, increasing your AC by 2, but it will be destroyed until the end of your next turn.
- Now you can use Breath Weapon:
- You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.

The DC for this saving throw equals 10 + your Charisma + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 8d8 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 10d10 at 18th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Maybe a Dragon Mage, channeling the magical might that all dragons have. Or perhaps, you will be a Dragon Friend, one who focuses on the bond between them and their dragon.

At level 3, the dragon grows to a young dragon, so now, you are permitted to ride the dragon.
You don't need any kind of saddle to stay mounted, and yet, you get the bonuses as if you were wearing a saddle.

- The first attack the enemy lands on you has a chance to return 1d6 damage based on the shared bond dragon's type (such as 1d6 fire damage for a red dragon). The enemy must do an Constitution saving throw with DC equals to 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency Bonus.
In addition, you also have +0 AC at 2nd level, +1 at 7th level, +2 at 10th level, +3 at 14th level, +4 at 17th level
Fearful Cast/Wondrous Figure[edit]
At level 7, you find people seem to be afraid/in awe of you.
You may radiate, passively, fear/awe in a 90 ft sphere. All creatures make an Intelligence saving throw against a DC equal to your Charisma score. If they fail, they become frightened of/charmed by you for 24 hours. And may remake the Intelligence saving throw after it ends. After 24 hours, enemies realize they were under the effect of this ability, but if they weren't attacked by you they don't blame you for being under the effect. If the creature succeed, they become immune to the ability for 24 hours.
If in combat (after the initiative roll), during their turn, creatures at are frightened of/charmed by you can remake the Intelligence saving throw. Creatures that succeed are immune to the ability for 24 hours.
If your dragon is within 120 feet of you, this ability has a range of 210 feet and enemies are also frightened of/charmed by your dragon.
(Note: If your dragon is of good alignment, this ability is Wondrous Figure. If they are of evil alignment, the ability is Fearful Cast. If they are neutral, you may choose either Wondrous Figure or Fearful Cast. Once you have Wondrous Figure, you cannot exchange it for Fearful Cast and vice versa. If you have Wondrous Cast, it causes awe, while Fearful Cast causes fear if you have it.)
Dominating Presence[edit]
Also, if you have "Fearful Cast" whenever you need to perform an "Intimidation" check, you will roll with advantage. Likewise, if you have "Wondrous Figure", whenever you need to perform a "Persuasion" check, you will roll with advantage.
To use this ability, the target does not need to be under the effect of "Fearful Cast/Wondrous Figure".
