Overview & Creation

Circle of the Dragon

Druids of the Circle of the Dragon devote themselves to the natural balance of all dragons, good and evil, as dragons are an integral part of the world. Some join this circle to obtain draconic power, while others worship dragon gods. Regardless, these druids carry with them a flaming passion, and they are known for their extraordinary pride.

Subclass Options

Emissary of the Dragons

At 2nd level you have learned to speak, read and write Draconic. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check. While you can see a dragon, or you are in your Wild Shape, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Circle Forms

The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into the most feared creatures in all the realms. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as 1, ignoring the max CR column of the Beast Shapes table. This includes dragons you have not seen before. Additionally, you can transform into a dragon that has movement speeds from the Limitations column of the Beast Shapes table, but you cannot use those movement speeds until you’ve reached the appropriate druid levels shown on the table. You lose your burrow speed and Change Shape action (if any). Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down (a silver dragon wyrmling counts as a dragon with a challenge rating of 3 for this feature).

Frightful Transformation

Starting at 6th level, when you use your Wild Shape, each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your druid spell save DC or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, then it becomes immune to your Frightful Transformation for the next 24 hours. In addition, while in your Wild Shape, you can replace the DC of your breath weapon with your druid spell save DC.

Wild Draconic Form

At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to change into a druidic dragon. When you do so, choose a damage type from the Elemental Essence table. While you remain motionless as a druidic dragon, you do not age, and any temporary effects on you (such as your Wild Shape) do not further expire. While motionless, you must use this feature again after finishing a rest to remain in this form. This form doesn't require food nor water.

Druidic Dragon Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of druidic dragon wings from your back, granting you a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn. Your clothes and armor are magically changed to accommodate them. In addition, those who fail their saving throws against your Frightful Transformation feature or your druidic dragon's Frightful Reveal ability also become paralyzed until the end of your next turn, as they are gripped by fear.
