A: Draconic Bloodline
Your magic comes from an ancestor with magical blood. Choose a single draconic element; Fire, Lightning, Cold, Acid or Plague. This is your lineage and the element of the Evocation tome you know.
You gain [½level] points of Armor against sources of that element and are immune to similar environmental effects.
A: Dragon magic
Your magic is drawn from the dragon, this has less limits than regular mages however it also comes with additional consequences. When you cast a spell you have no limit on the number of MD you may invest, however when you roll doubles you invoke a Mishap, and when you roll tripples you earn a Doom.
On your second doom you may foreswear your power and begin at level 1 in a new class, keeping any feats or other class levels. On your third doom you are effectively dead and must make a new character.
| 1d6 | Mishaps |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your eyes become a strange color and glow lightly unless you concentrate on them, lasts #d6 days |
| 2 | You grow visible scales that refuse to go away for #d4 days |
| 3 | Smoke comes out of your mouth whenever you breathe or talk growing thicker the longer its been since you used your breath weapon, lasts #d6 days. |
| 4 | You gain a craving for gold or some other treasure and will not willingly part with any for #d10 days. |
| 5 | You feel sure of your own superiority and refuse to accept insult, lasts for #d20 days |
| 6 | Start a 10 segment Doom clock if you do not have one already, fill 1d4 wedges of the clock, when the clock is full you trigger a Doom. |
"#" is the number of times this mishap has been triggered. The effect becomes permanent if # becomes larger than the dice.
DOOMS:
- First doom: You fall into a bloodlust, having just enough time to flee from your allies. You fly around shooting elements and scorching the landscape. Your only goal is the destruction of people and property, and you go about this task with insane, cackling gusto. Lasts 2d6 minutes.
- Second Doom: As above, but lasts 2d6 days
- Final Doom: As above, but permanent
B: Breath Weapon
You can channel your magic into a powerful breath weapon, as an action you may exhale a [level]x5 ft. cone (or line of 3 times the length) of your element, dealing [level]d8 damage to everyone within, or half on a successful PHYS save. Once you use this ability you may roll a d6 at the end of each turn, regaining the ability on a 6.
C: Signature Magic
By either the nature of your bloodline or your career in magic you have become an expert in a subset of spells. You may choose a [½Level] spells to be your Signature Spells.
When casting signature spells, your first Magic Dice expended on the spell counts as two. Furthermore your expertise means you only trigger Mishaps on triples and cannot trigger dooms (except by mishap) while casting these spells.
D: Draconic Body
You can draw deeply on the power of your soul, changing your body to becomes more draconic for a time. As an Action you may change to your draconic form, when you do you:
- Gain [Level] MD, this can go over your normal limit.
- Becomes completely immune to your element and related effects.
- You grow wings and scales, allowing you to fly and gain 6 armor.
- You have no limit to the number of times you can use your breath weapon. This form expires at the end of the combat or scene, and all benefits are lost. You must recover before you change into this form again, unless you wish to gain a Doom.
