Dragon DiscipleLegacy Content
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 168 2.0The rippling waves of fear, the rustling of thick scales, and the beat of immense wings signal the arrival of a great dragon. The awe-inspiring presence of these creatures makes them worthy of reverence—or even outright worship. Dragon disciples dedicate themselves to becoming like these great beasts, with each disciple striving to typify one variety of dragon. Sorcerers of draconic blood, barbarians with the dragon instinct, and many kobolds with close ties to their draconic predecessors become dragon disciples, but anyone who has encountered one of these terrifying creatures might follow this path.
As a dragon disciple, you study and learn from the example of dragons, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you admire the dragons you emulate. While most dragon disciples do indeed revere their chosen dragon, countless tales are told of dragon disciples born of great personal tragedy at the hands of boundless draconic fury. These disciples have transformed themselves into what they despise in order to gain the power to destroy their draconic tormentor and at long last earn their revenge.

Uncommon Archetype Dedication Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 168 2.0Archetype Dragon DiscipleAccess You are a
kobold with the
dragonscaled or
spellscaled heritage, a
dragon instinct barbarian, or a
draconic bloodline sorcerer.
You choose to study or worship one type of dragon, and your focus grants you a measure of its power. You become trained in arcane spell DCs and arcane spell attack rolls. Choose one color of dragon when you select this feat; if you are a sorcerer with the draconic bloodline, this must be the same type as your bloodline. You gain resistance equal to half your level against one type of damage determined by the chosen dragon type. The GM may allow you to choose a dragon type not listed below, and will determine the damage type appropriate for that dragon.
You also gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws against
sleep effects and effects that would make you
paralyzed.
Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the dragon disciple archetype. If you later take the
sorcerer archetype, you must choose the draconic bloodline.
