Dragon Instinct Feature 1


Barbarian

You summon the fury of a mighty dragon and manifest incredible abilities. Perhaps your culture reveres draconic majesty, or you gained your connection by drinking or bathing in dragon's blood or after watching a marauding wyrm burn your village. Select a type of dragon from Table 3-4: Dragon Instincts to be your instinct's dragon type. Chromatic dragons tend to be evil, and metallic dragons tend to be good.

Table 3-4: Dragon Instincts

Dragon Type Breath Weapon
Black Chromatic Line of Acid
Blue Chromatic Line of Electricity
Green Chromatic Cone of Poison
Red Chromatic Cone of Fire
White Chromatic Cone of Cold
Brass Metallic Line of Fire
Bronze Metallic Line of Electricity
Copper Metallic Line of Acid
Gold Metallic Cone of Fire
Silver Metallic Cone of Cold

Anathema

Letting a personal insult against you slide is anathema to your instinct. Choose whether your character respects or abhors your dragon type. If you respect it, defying such a dragon is anathema, and if you abhor it, failing to defeat such a dragon you come across is anathema.

Draconic Rage (Instinct Ability)

While raging, you can increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 4 and change its damage type to match that of your dragon's breath weapon instead of the damage type for your weapon or unarmed attack. If you do this, your Rage action gains the arcane and evocation traits, as well as the trait matching the damage type.

Specialization AbilityLevel 7

When you use draconic rage, you increase the additional damage from Rage from 4 to 8. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from Rage when using draconic rage from 8 to 16.

Raging ResistanceLevel 9

You resist piercing damage and the damage type of your dragon's breath weapon.
