Path of the Wyrmblood

"I kill where I wish, and none dare resist. My armor is like tenfold shields! My teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath... death."

–Smaug the Terrible, The Hobbit

The blood of dragons was not meant for lesser beasts. Theirs is a raw and untameable royalty meant for a different age, a primeval time when mighty gods wrestled cosmic reptiles for the right to divide land and sea.

Yet mortals have always reached beyond their limits. A bold warrior may eat the heart of a fallen drake. A sickly lord may seek a cure in dragon egg rituals. A lost youth may discover a parentage beyond imagination. The blood of such mongrels erupts with fierce and terrible power, enough to split their mind with fury and forge their body anew... but should they survive, the Path of the Wyrmblood awaits.

Wyrmblood Path Quirk

d6 Wyrmblood Quirk 1 You protectively hoard and jealously obsess over your most precious things, be they treasures or people. 2 You have very particular sleeping habits, and cannot rest easy without the correct bedding or environment. 3 You possess a natural arrogance, and are puzzled or annoyed when others do not recognize your majesty. 4 You have an odd sense of temperature, and may shiver on warm days or cheerfully walk barefoot on ice. 5 You dream of deep lairs or high mountains, of being vast and invincible, and wake to disappointment. 6 You have a terrible temper, though it may constantly smoulder or simply erupt without warning.

Wyrmblood

When you enter this Primal Path at 3rd level, your ancestry awakens. While raging, you express draconic qualities such as reptilian eyes, sharp teeth, vestigial wings, gleaming horns, thick claws, or clusters of scales.

Choose one damage type from acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. This is your draconic damage type.

In addition, choose one shape: a 15 foot cone, a 5-foot-radius sphere, or a 5 feet wide and 30 feet long line. This is your fellbreath shape.

Drakescale

Starting at 3rd level, your unarmed strikes use a d4 for damage, and can inflict your choice of bashing, piercing, or slashing damage.

In addition, while raging you gain resistance to your draconic damage type, and can change the damage of your rage damage bonus to match your draconic damage type.

Fellbreath

Also at 3rd level, your fury bubbles up through your throat as sparks and spittle. Once per round, when you take the Attack action while raging, you can replace one of your attacks with a burst of draconic power.

You make an unarmed strike using Strength against every creature (other than yourself) within your fellbreath shape, rolling separately for each target. You do not add your Strength modifier to the damage of these attacks, unless that modifier is negative.

Each of these successful attacks is an automatic critical hit, and inflicts damage of your draconic damage type.

Lairchild

Starting at 6th level, you become more comfortable in one of the environments favored by your ancestors.
