[QUOTE="Yunru, post: 7201422, member: 6780961"] So this is a pet project I'm working on, based around, you guessed it, dragons. As you can see, not all the subclasses are complete, and any suggestions would be most welcome along side any regular feedback. [Sblock="Circle of the Dragon"] [B]Dragon Eyes: [/B] When you choose this circle at 2nd level, your eyes alter and take on draconic characteristics. You gain darkvision of 60 feet and you have both proficiency and expertise in Perception. [B]Dragonform: [/B] Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to turn into to a dragon with CR equal or less than half of your level. If you do, you can only remain in dragon form for a number of minutes equal to your Druid level. [B]Draconic Resilience: [/B] Starting at 6th level, you gain proficiency in two saving throws of your choice from Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, or Charisma. Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier. [B]Empowered Dragonform: [/B] When you reach 10th level, you can expend two uses of your Wildshape to turn into a dragon with CR equal or less than your level. [B]Dragon Wings: [/B] When you reach 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a Bonus Action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a Bonus Action on your turn. You can’t manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them. [/Sblock] [Sblock="Way of the Dragon"] [B]Claw of the Dragon: [/B] Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate your ki to mirror that of a dragon's. You may have your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 damage of your choice of Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison. [B]Mighty Presence: [/B] At 6th level, you can enhance your presence with your ki. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 ki points to unsettle your enemies. Each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. [B]Draconic Flight: [/B] Beginning at 11th level, you learn to harness ki to enable you to fly as a dragon does. You may spend a ki point each turn. If you do, you gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed until the start of your next turn.
