Draconic Benefactors

Source Draconic Codex pg. 206
Some abilities reference your draconic benefactor, draconic exemplar, or a draconic instinct, which is a specific type of dragon from which you draw your draconic powers— typically the type of dragon you serve or whose blood runs in your veins. You can choose your exemplar when you create your character, but are required to choose one only when you select a feat or other option that requires you to have one (such as Breath of the Dragon). This means your draconic power might remain a mystery to you for some time, only revealing its true nature to you as you grow in experience.

The table below lists all of the dragons included in Draconic Codex and can be used to determine the benefits of your draconic connection or the benefits you gain when using dragon form and similar effects. If you choose a dragon from a different source, work with your GM to determine if you have access to it and what options that dragon grants you.
