Warlock: Great Wyrm Patron

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.00

Fizban's Treasury of Dragons has just been announced, and it seems a perfect place for WotC to introduce a draconic warlock patron. Unfortunately, based on their descriptions of FToD, we will not be seeing that subclass. Fortunately, I happen to have had a dragon warlock subclass that I've been working on for the past few weeks.

Dragons are powerful magical beings, many with innate magic of their own, and the many breeds of dragon have all sorts of motivations and reasons to bestow some of that power on a mortal ally (or thrall, whatever the case may be). Great Wyrms, as we understand, are a new age category of dragon coming out in FToD, older even than an ancient dragon. Larger and certainly of mythical power, they are exactly the sort of entity you'd think could have a warlock or two serving under them. As you gain levels as a warlock of a Great Wyrm, you become able to boost your damage output, gain a supernatural understanding of gold and treasure, and the capability to resist harmful effects. Eventually, you learn to channel the form of your patron itself, surrounding yourself with its image and in the process attaining flight and boosting your physical capabilities. Think Naruto and his early 9-tailed fox forms when he'd be covered in red energy shaped like a fox.

You may notice a lack of breath weapon in the core of the class. I feel overall, warlock class features don't tend to modify the physicality of the warlock itself, instead giving them abilities that reflect the nature of their patrons. However, invocations seem to offer more in the way of altering the warlock themselves, and so a number of warlock invocations have been included which grant the warlock more of the physical traits that dragons possess. With access to the spell dragon's breath, your dragon warlock can have their very own breath weapon.

Feedback and critique always appreciated.

This was a really fun subclass! I had a player use this in a dragon-themed one shot I ran at 12th level. She managed to find a way to use every subclass feature over the course of about 9 hours, even the more situational ones. The only tweak I [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
