Overview & Creation
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.
Class Features
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, at 11th level you can attack 3 times, instead of once, whenever you take the attack, at 17th level you can attack 4 times instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.
Evasion
At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a
Dexterity 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.
Infused Strikes
Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance to nonmagical attacks and damage.
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, you choose one type of element that was of your dragon parent. The damage type associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later. Choose from one of the following elements/damage types:
- Wind: 15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
- Acid: 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
- Cold: 15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
- Fire: 15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
- Lightning : 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
- Poison: 15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
- Radiant: 15 ft. come (Dex. save)
- Necrotic: 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
You are also immune to the chosen element. Another benefit to being raised by dragons is learning their language. You can read, write, and speak draconic and celestial.
Draconic Resilience

Dexterity or

Dragon's Roar
You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
When you use your breath weapon, each creature within a 30ft cone must make a
Dexterity saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your
Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The amount of the damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Breath Attack column of the Dragon Slayer table.
