Dragon Type

At 1st level, you choose a type. Your type grants you features again at 3rd, 7th, 13th and 17th level. You can choose Air, Fire, Iron or Lightning as types.

Damage Type

Each dragon type have a particular damage type correlated to it: Air (Thunder), Fire (Fire), Iron (Fire), Lightning (Lightning).

Improved Unarmed Strike

At 1st level, you cause 1d6 bludgeoning damage with your unarmed strikes (instead of the normal damage). In addition, your unarmed strikes score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Dragon’s Roar

At 2nd level, you can release a line of energy or elemental force as an Action. All creatures in a 30 feet by 5 feet line must succeed on a save DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier, or suffer 2d6 damage from that type, or half as much on a success.

In addition to damage, each Roar have a specific effect. The effect depends on your dragon type:

Air

You project forward a gust of loud wind. Creatures that fail the save are pushed 10 feet back and knocked prone.

Fire

You blast flames. Creatures that fail the save catch fire, taking 1d4 damage at the start of each turn, unless a creature uses its Action to put out the flames.

Iron

You expel molten iron. The molten iron hardens, causing creatures that fail the save to have their movement speed reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn.

Lightning

A lighting bolt is fired from your mouth. Creatures that fail the save are stunned until the start of their turns.

Talons of the Dragon

At 3rd level, you gain enhanced jumping ability. As a bonus action, you can make a high-powered leap, moving up to 20 feet in a straight line. You deal 1d8 + your Strength modifier elemental damage to creatures within a 10-foot radius at the end of your jump. Creatures within the area must make a DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus or take the full damage and become stunned until the end of their next turn.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Claws of the Dragon

At 6th level, you gain resistance to the damage type related to your dragon type. You also can cause damage with your unarmed strikes from that type, rather than bludgeoning. This damage bypasses resistances to that damage type.

Scales of the Dragon

At 9th level, your scales harden, granting you natural armor. While not wearing armor, your AC is 14 + your Constitution modifier. Alternatively, when using armor, you gain a bonus of +1 to your AC.

Finally, you can choose to add your Constitution modifier instead of Dexterity modifier (whichever is higher) to your AC when using light or medium armor.

Thanks for the Meal

Dragon Warrior's have the ability to devour things made up from there parents elemental aspects. So a Fire type would eat flames, Iron.... Iron... And an Air would eat air. However! Due to the nature of Dragon Warrior's magic, they are not able to consume there own abilities and eat them. So no matter how much a you want to. Your Character CANNOT eat his own flames.

Note: This is made considering the possibility that a DM may throw a Dragon Warrior of the same type as you at the group and to ensure you don't just blast yourself for healing.

That aside. Eating objects/Materials/energy of your type will allow you to regain 2d4 Health points. Which increases each 5th level and adds 1d4 each time it increases. So at 20th level you would regain 6d4 Health Points.

Scent

Scent:

This extraordinary ability lets a Dragon Warrior detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.

Dragon Warrior's can with the scent ability detect opponents by sense of smell, generally within 60 feet. If the opponent is upwind, the range is 120 feet. If it is downwind, the range is 30 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at three times these ranges.

The Dragon Warrior detects another creature’s presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If it moves within 10 feet of the scent’s source, the creature can pinpoint that source.

Dragon Warrior's with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10. The DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Dragon Warrior's tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.

Dragon Warrior's with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.

Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily.

False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base Survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.
