Work In Progress |
Dragon Slayer[edit]
Dragon slayers are a unique type of people. They are taught by dragons on how to use magic when they are young. They become a master of whatever element they are taught. They can produce and control their element from any part of their body, which can be used both in melee or as a ranged form of offense. The generated element can be manipulated in a wide variety of ways, but their “type” is fixed. However, they can be given a material manifestation. Due to their draconian mentors, they possess keener senses such as sight, hearing, and smell. They also have some defining physical characteristics such as reptilian pupils, sharper canines, or dragon scales in various places.
Creating a Dragon Slayer[edit]
A dragon slayer is a master of their magic type as well as using his/her own body as a weapon. They are masters of unarmed combat, amplifying their own natural power with elemental magic. Their power is that of a dragon's, which is where they draw their namesake.
To quickly build a dragon slayer, make Dexterity your highest. Followed by Wisdom, then Constitution. Take the Outlander or Hermit background.

Dragon Slayer Magic[edit]
A dragon slayer's lost magic gives them the power of a dragon, and in turn, the power to defeat them. As they learn and grow, dragon slayers develop unique characteristics.
- Draconic Parent
As dragon blood flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon parent to emerge, part of your skin is covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales.
At 1st level, the Dragon Parent you have chosen gives you one of the following elements:
- Arcane: 30ft. line (Dex. save for half)
- Metal/Bludgeoning(Magical): 30 ft. line (Dex. save for half)

- Shadow/Necrotic: 15 ft. cone (Dex. save for half)
In addition, you learn how to read, write, and speak in Draconic.
- Draconic Resilience
When you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + Dexterity (or Strength) modifier + Wisdom modifier. In addition, You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. You also have advantage on strength related skill checks against a creature who's sizes is smaller than the size you're counted as. Upon reaching level 4, it becomes two sizes larger. Upon reaching level 8, it becomes three sizes larger. Upon reaching level 12, it becomes four sizes larger. If you're counted as 2 sizes larger than a targeted creature, you roll all related grapple checks as if you have expertise.
Dragon Slayer Martial Arts[edit]
At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.
- You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain Dragon Slayer levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Dragon Slayer table.
- When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike can make one additional unarmed strike as a bonus action.
- When grappling a target gain advantage from your dragon strength to keep the target held.
Slayer Senses[edit]
At 1st level your superior dragon instincts alert you to incoming danger. You gain proficiency in Perception. If you are already proficient in this skill you instead gain expertise.
You also gain advantage in all your Wisdom (Perception) checks to track targets that leave behind a scent.
Additionally, you gain a blindsight of 30 feet.
Motion Sickness[edit]
The greatest ailment to befall a dragon slayer is severe levels of motion sickness which comes in multiple stages and seems to get stronger the more powerful the you become. At the 2nd level when riding on something that youperceive as a vehicle you begin to feel just a little bit woozy. Receiving a -2 to all ability scores for the duration. This gets worse at 7th level, you now begin to feel extremely nauseous, having trouble moving or really getting anything done. You're limited to only one action per turn and no bonus action or reaction. Additionally your movement speed is reduced to 0. This peaks at 13th level where you'll feel as though you can't do anything without puking your guts out. You're afflicted with the poisoned and incapacitated condition, and are unable to take any sort of action until exiting the vehicle.
It is possible to temporarily fight through this feeling by convincing yourself or being convinced that what you're riding isn't a vehicle. If you're trying to convince yourself it's a DC 20 Charisma save at 2nd level, DC 25 Charisma save at 7th level, and DC 30 Charisma save at 13th level. The DC remains the same if someone tries to convince you it isn't a vehicle, but it instead becomes a persuasion or deception check rather than Charisma save.
Mana[edit]
at 2nd level, Your Dragon Slayer Magic awakens. Your access to this Magic is represented by a number of Mana Points. The mana points shown in the Mana points column of the dragon slayer table + your wisdom modifier determines the number of Mana points you have.
You can spend these points to fuel various Mana features. You start knowing three such features: Dragon's Roar, Devour element, and Elemental Strike. You learn more Mana features as you gain levels in this class.
When you spend a Mana point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of you expended Mana points into yourself.
Some of your Mana features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the features effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
- Mana save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
- Dragon's Roar
As a bonus action, you can spend 1 Mana point to unleash a roar of elemental energy . the size, shape and damage type are all connected to your Draconic Parent. The roar is also affected by your stats. The number of dice rolled are equal to your proficiency bonus. Your wisdom modifier also affects the size of the dice:
- At +0 the dice is a d4 (So with a proficiency bonus of 2 it's 2d4+Wis Modifier)
- At +1 the dice is a d6 (So with a proficiency bonus of 2 it's 2d6+Wis Modifier)
- At +2 the dice is a d8 (So with a proficiency bonus of 2 it's 2d8+Wis Modifier)
- At +3 the dice is a d10 (So with a proficiency bonus of 2 it's 2d10+Wis Modifier)
- At +4 the dice is a d12 (So with a proficiency bonus of 2 it's 2d12+Wis Modifier)
- At +5 the dice is a 2d6 (So with a proficiency bonus of 2 it's 4d6+Wis Modifier)
- Devour Element
When you are targeted by a damaging ability or spell that uses your chosen Dragon Parent element, as a reaction, you can consume the element of your Dragon Parent, reducing the damage by your Dragon slayer level x Wisdom Modifier and restoring half of the damage you absorbed as HP rounded down or gain half of your Mana rounded down. You can devour your element if you find it around, for example if you see a fire as a fire dragon slayer you can eat it and either restore hit points equal to your Dragon slayer level + Wisdom Modifier or regain an amount of Mana equal to your Wisdom modifier, this can be done as a bonus action on your turn. (Bludgeoning means you can eat metal, cold means you can eat ice, fire means you can eat fire, force means you can eat air, lightning means you can eat electricity, poison means you can eat poison, radiant means you can eat light/the color white and necrotic means you can eat shadows)

Dual Element Unique Spells[edit]
Below are the canon spells unique to Dual Element modes. Like mentioned before it is possible to make homebrew ones for non canon dual elements, but that would be done with you and your GM. Spells listed here do not benefit from the extra die of damage dual element mode grants, as they're already made accounting for that benefit. If a canon spell isn't listed here then the spell is either unchanged from entering the mode or isn't a unique spell made from the dual element mode. For example Lightning Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame isn't listed here since the same effect is gained through using Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame while in lightning fire dragon mode.
Finally it is possible to use these spells without being in Dual Element mode. Doing so requires 2 dragon slayers of each element within 5 feet of each other to perform the spell. One spends their action to initiate the spell, and the other spends their reaction to join in. Each spend half the required mana and both must succeed a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw.

Dragon Force[edit]
One of the strongest state a dragon slayer could possibly enter. Granting it's user the power to utterly destroy anything and everything in their path. Without mastery entering dragon force requires a conduit. Meeting a certain prerequisite that either allows or forces the dragon slayer to transcend to greater heights. Undergoing a temporary state of Dragonification, the slayer gains various traits such as scales, a tail, or even wings depending on the magic. The slayer's physical abilities also become enhanced to an extreme degree as well as magnifying their spells to an extremely powerful level.
You can technically enter Dragon Force at any level, but not willingly. If your campaign takes place in the fairy tail universe, then various canon methods like the consumption of Etherion, or a Fire Dragon Slayer's consumption of the Flames of Rebuke are various methods of achieving this state. For other campaigns, examples of said triggers would be experiencing an intense emotional state, or receiving an extremely large influx of magic from various sources. The main point is that regardless of the reason, until mastering Dragon Force, it's impossible to enter it willingly, only when your GM allows it. Regardless of how it's achieved, the benefits gained from Dragon Force aren't to be taken lightly. When entering Dragon Force for the first time, the slayer much choose which aspects of a dragon to embody. This decision cannot be changed each time it's entered, but once Dragon Force is perfected the change becomes permanent. The aspects are as follows:
- Dragon Scales: Gain +2 AC and a damage reduction of 3 which stacks with other sources.
- Dragon Tail: Gain the ability to strike with your tail as a free action once per turn. Dealing 2 martial arts die in damage.
- Dragon Wings: Gain fly speed equal to your movement speed as well as an additional bonus action (Recharge 4-6)
All slayers gain the following benefits from entering dragon force regardless of their aspect choice for the next minute:
- Restore xd10+Wisdom x Constitution in HP (X = Your level.) Excess healing is converted into temp HP. This benefit can only be gained the first time you enter dragon force per long rest.
- Restore xd10+Wisdom Mana (X = Proficiency Bonus.) This benefit can only be gained the first time you enter dragon force per long rest.
- Your Dragon Senses sharpen even further, If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. Your blindsight range is also doubled.
- You gain an additional action on each of your turns.
- Your Strength, Dex, Constitution, and Wisdom modifier increase by +4.
- Due to your Element constantly flowing out, your unarmed strikes and spells deal an additional 2 Martial Arts die of elemental damage.
- Your unarmed strikes and spells have their damage dice increased by an amount of steps equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded up (1d6->1d8->1d10->1d12->2d6->2d8, etc.)
When Dragon Force ends, you can't move or take Actions until after Your next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over you. After mastering Dragon Force, this only happens the second time you exit Dragon Force per long rest.
Dragon King Mode[edit]
Dragon King Mode, hailed as the pinnacle of all Dragon Slaying magic, bestows its wielder with power rivaling that of a dragon itself, besides fully transforming into one. There exist only two known methods to acquire this legendary power. The first involves either consuming or being bestowed with the power directly from the Dragon King corresponding to one's elemental affinity. This grants a temporary ascension into the King Mode for the following minute. The alternative method entails a natural evolution as a Dragon Slayer, wherein the power is unlocked through further progression. Regardless of the path taken to attain it, those marked with this power are formidable adversaries not to be underestimated. Enshrouded in the element they command with absolute mastery, they wield their overwhelming might to crush armies and vanquish even the most formidable foes.
Dragon King Mode can only be accessed by the Slayer's primary element and cannot be used in conjunction with Dual Element mode, nor does the slayer have access to their secondary element while using the form. They can however access Dragon Force while in the form for an even greater power boost. While benefitting from Dragon King Mode the slayer is shrouded in an immense cloak of aura formed by their primary element. Bodies of water evaporate in the presence of a Fire Dragon King, only the toughest of a opponents have even a shred of hope for surviving a Lightning Dragon King's electricity. One might find it impossible to stand firm in the presence of the immense and powerful winds generated by a Sky Dragon Queen. While in Dragon King Mode, the slayer gets the following benefits:
- The first time per long rest you enter Dragon King Mode, you're restored to full health and gain temp HP equal to your level x your wisdom modifier.
- The first time per long rest you enter Dragon King Mode, restore xd12+Wisdom Mana (X = Dragon Slayer Level.) The mana restored can go over your total mana but excess will be lost upon leaving the mode.
- +4 Bonus to AC & Saving Throws.
- Bonus to Attack Rolls & Save DC equal to your proficiency bonus.
- You gain a +60ft of movement.
- You gain a +6 to your Strength, Dex, Constitution, and Wisdom modifiers
- You cannot gain disadvantage nor can opponents roll advantage against you.
- Your Dragon Roar's range and damage is doubled, your martial arts deal an extra 3 elemental dice worth of damage, and your spells damage dice are increased by 5.
- Your strength even has the capability of slaying immortal beings. Your attacks ignore effects that would prevent a creature from being killed/their HP reaching 0.
- Your devour element doesn't have a limit on how much damage you can devour and the benefits gained and multiplied by 2, but you can only consume your primary element.
No matter what method you used to enter the form, once Dragon King mode ends a wave of lethargy washes over you, giving you 4 ranks of exhaustion and you losing half your total mana.
Dragon King Unique Spells[edit]
While technically every spell used while in Dragon King mode is considered a Dragon King spell. These spells specifically can only be used while in Dragon King Mode. Spells listed here do not benefit from the boost in damage that Dragon King Mode grants, as they're already made accounting for that benefit.
- Dragon King Scales:
As a bonus action or reaction for 8 mana, you can harden your body with the scales of a dragon king increasing your defensive power immensely. For the next 5 turns, gain a damage reduction threshold of xd12 (X = Dragon Slayer Level + Wisdom Modifier.) This threshold reduces all instances of damage. If an attack counts as multiple attacks in one action it will only reduce the total damage.
- Roar of The Dragon King:
Spending an action instead of a bonus action as well as 12 mana, you can release the roar of a True Dragon King. Capable of wiping out entire armies with it's might. The Save DC of this roar is increased by +4, and the range/damage is quadrupled.

Feats[edit]
- Third Generation:
Prerequisite: Dragon Slayer Class, must have been implanted with a Dragon Lacrima
This feat is a unique one. Rather than selecting it, the feat is instead automatically added to your list upon being implanted with a Dragon Lacrima. This can also be taken as a background feat with the GM's permission, but besides that the only other method is obtaining it in story. Having been both trained by a dragon and implanted with a Dragon Lacrima, you possess an extra reserve of magic power to call upon. Once per long rest you can tap into this extra reserve, regaining xd10 (X = Proficiency) + your Constitution modifier in mana. You also have the uncanny ability to tap into Dragon Force at will. Although the dragon force itself will be considered incomplete until 13th level. Your choice in aspect upon becoming a third generation will be your permanent one, but while in incomplete dragonforce the buffs will be as follows:
- Dragon Scales: Gain +1 AC and a damage reduction of 2 which stacks with other sources.
- Dragon Tail: Gain the ability to strike with your tail as a bonus action once per turn. Dealing your martial arts die in damage.

- Restore xd6 Mana (X = Proficiency Bonus.) This benefit can only be gained the first time you enter dragon force per long rest.

When Dragon Force ends, you can't move or take Actions until after Your next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over you.
Once you reach 13th level and master Dragon Force you use the original buffs.
