A | A dwarf steps into a tavern, his eyes glow with the power of ancient magic. The red cloak around him seems strange, curled around his front but connecting to his back. As he sits down, a drunk guard challenges him to a dual, hurling insults at the quiet new patron. The guard draws his sword and the man stands, unfurling his cloak into a pair of great red dragon wings. His hands burn with fire and his breath exhales embers. The guard stares slack jawed in awe before slinking away in defeat. The dracolyte curls his wings around him and sits once more.<br> | ||
In the midst of a castle siege, a platoon of strange black scaled | In the midst of a castle siege, a platoon of strange black scaled human approach a wall, and in unison vomit acid onto the stone, melting it away. The soldiers inside spew forth, but can only stare in awe as a black scaled woman transforms into a dragon, melting them with an powerful exhalation of acid.<br> | ||
Bandits surround an | Bandits surround an minotaur nomad in the desert. His fingers crackle with lightning as he drives a sword through the first cutthroat. A second bandit falls to a bolt of lightning shot from his hand and the elf throws his cloak off and takes flight on a pair of sapphire wings.<br> | ||
The first dracolytes were made by combining the souls of dead dragons with that of a living humanoid in an attempt to make a new breed of half dragon. Instead, the dragon souls were absorbed, giving the humanoids the gift of draconic power.<br> | |||
These strange new people were coined the dracolytes and served to empower dragon kind through the ages. This same ritual has been refined over the course of millennia, creating more Dracolytes and granting them better attunement to their dragon spirit.<br> | |||
Most dracolytes seek the power individually, sometimes through a respect for the dragons themselves, or perhaps a religious worship to a specific draconic god. Finding a group of dracolytes or a dragon to perform the ritual often requires a deal to be brokered as the sacrificing of a draconic soul is no small matter to those who revere the ancient beasts.<br> | |||
A dragon might be willing to perform the ritual only if you dedicate your life to serving it. Perhaps a dracolyte cult requires you to swear an oath to their cause in order for the power to be granted to you. Or maybe some dark force has kidnapped you and forced the transformation against your will. No matter the case, once the ritual has infused the dragon's soul into yours, you become more dragon than man. | |||

Dracolyte
A dwarf steps into a tavern, his eyes glow with the power of ancient magic. The red cloak around him seems strange, curled around his front but connecting to his back. As he sits down, a drunk guard challenges him to a dual, hurling insults at the quiet new patron. The guard draws his sword and the man stands, unfurling his cloak into a pair of great red dragon wings. His hands burn with fire and his breath exhales embers. The guard stares slack jawed in awe before slinking away in defeat. The dracolyte curls his wings around him and sits once more.
In the midst of a castle siege, a platoon of strange black scaled human approach a wall, and in unison vomit acid onto the stone, melting it away. The soldiers inside spew forth, but can only stare in awe as a black scaled woman transforms into a dragon, melting them with an powerful exhalation of acid.
Bandits surround an minotaur nomad in the desert. His fingers crackle with lightning as he drives a sword through the first cutthroat. A second bandit falls to a bolt of lightning shot from his hand and the elf throws his cloak off and takes flight on a pair of sapphire wings.
The first dracolytes were made by combining the souls of dead dragons with that of a living humanoid in an attempt to make a new breed of half dragon. Instead, the dragon souls were absorbed, giving the humanoids the gift of draconic power.
These strange new people were coined the dracolytes and served to empower dragon kind through the ages. This same ritual has been refined over the course of millennia, creating more Dracolytes and granting them better attunement to their dragon spirit.
Most dracolytes seek the power individually, sometimes through a respect for the dragons themselves, or perhaps a religious worship to a specific draconic god. Finding a group of dracolytes or a dragon to perform the ritual often requires a deal to be brokered as the sacrificing of a draconic soul is no small matter to those who revere the ancient beasts.
A dragon might be willing to perform the ritual only if you dedicate your life to serving it. Perhaps a dracolyte cult requires you to swear an oath to their cause in order for the power to be granted to you. Or maybe some dark force has kidnapped you and forced the transformation against your will. No matter the case, once the ritual has infused the dragon's soul into yours, you become more dragon than man.

You have mastered your dragon spirit, allowing you to transform fully into a dragon.
You suffer none of the frailty of old age, and you can't be aged magically.
Additionally as an Action, you can now shapeshift into an Adult version of your Dragon Spirit. You can't use this Action again until you finish a Long Rest. You can stay in this Dragon Form for a number of hours equal to half your Dracolyte Level, you can revert back to your normal form early as a Free Action. You automatically revert back to your normal form if your Dragon Form drops to 0 Hit Points or you fall Unconscious. While you are in your Dragon Form, the following rules apply:
- Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the Dragon, but you retain your Alignment, Personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma Scores. You also retain all of your Skill and Saving Throw Proficiencies, in addition, you gain the Dragon's Skill and Saving Throw Proficiencies if it has any that you do not already have. You use whichever Proficiency Bonus is higher these Proficiencies.
- When you transform, you use the Dragon's Hit Points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of Hit Points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 Hit Points, any excess Damage carries over to your normal form.
- You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if your new form is physically capable of doing so.
- You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your Dragon Form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with you has no effect until you revert back to your normal form.
