Dragon Shaman
A halfling struggles to pull herself up a jagged cliff face. Above her, the wind howls, but she pushes on. Once at the top she pauses, as if awe-struck by the heavy, rhythmic breathing issuing from a cavern opening in the mountainside. Gathering herself, she withdraws a beautiful gem from her bag and carefully makes her way inside. A goliath opens his arms wide and takes the blow from an orc’s greatsword. The sword pierces through metal and leather, but rebounds against hard scales hidden beneath the armor. The goliath smiles, then rears back and belches forth a stream of dragon fire from his open mouth.
As a horde of skeletons descend upon a group of adventurers, the human among them raises his sword to the sky and shouts out a battlecry. His companions feel a surge of empowering energy and shake off their fear, then rush forward with renewed vigor. To some, the passing shadow of a dragon overhead isn’t a sign that invokes fear; it’s a blessing that reveals you to be in the presence of greatness. Those who become dragon shamans respect dragons as power incarnate. Some worship dragons, but most simply aspire to gain dragon powers for themselves. In assuming the abilities and the likeness of a dragon, one seeks to emulate that might and embody that power within themselves.
Power for Power’s Sake
Power is the ultimate goal for any dragon shaman; power allows one to effect their will in the world, whether that be to the benefit of others or for malicious purposes. Dragons, with all their might, are the ultimate embodiment of power and the will to use it. Many a dragon would not be not suprised to find mortals wishing they could become dragon themselves. While dragons gain power naturally by living and aging, a dragon shaman must seek it out. Unlike dragonflesh grafters, who use bioalchemy to unnaturally fuse themselves with dragon parts, dragon shamans seek to prove their worth by searching for a totem dragon to bless them.Draconic Influence
Every dragon shaman has a totem dragon. This may be a draconic soul sent to guide the dragon shaman by some more powerful entity, the lingering spirit of a dragon, or even the manifestation of some part of the dragon shaman’s own psyche. This totem dragon bonds with the dragon shaman, creating a unique entity whose soul is now, in a very literal sense, part dragon. Over time, the dragon shaman’s body will become more dragon-like. Hard scales grow out from beneath their skin, and they learn how to use a breath weapon much like their totem dragon’s. With time the dragon shaman will even gain large leathery wings, allowing them to soar in the sky as any true dragon should. Most dragon shamans worship dragons in the abstract, honoring them in much the same way a cleric might honor light as a symbol of purity. For many, dragons are simply awe-inspiring, though they do not apply any special treatment do them. Other dragon shamans worship dragons directly, from the race as a whole to a specific individual.Creating a Dragon Shaman
When creating a dragon shaman character, think about your character’s connection to dragons. What set them on this path of draconic influence? What relatinship do they have with dragons?

You have advantage on Intelligence checks made to recall information about dragons, and advantage on Charisma checks made while interacting with dragons. In addition, you can speak, read, and write Draconic in addition to your other languages.Totem Dragon
You choose a type of true dragon to emulate. Choose the Chromatic Totem Dragon, Gem Totem Dragon, or Metallic Totem Dragon, both detailed at the end of this class description.

You learn three auras of your choice, which are detailed at the end of this class description. As a bonus action on your turn, you can project one of your known auras. Your aura ends only when you are knocked unconscious, you use a bonus action on your turn to end your aura, or you activate another aura in its place. You can only have one aura active at a time. While projecting an aura, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain the benefits of the aura. Unless the aura says otherwise, the benefits of an aura fade from an ally as soon as they leave this area. You learn an additional aura at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

When you use your draconic breath, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your totem dragon. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, 5d6 at 15th level, and 6d6 at 20th level.

Touch of Vitality
At 3rd level, your touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your dragon shaman level x 5. As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it.

Totem Dragons
A dragon shaman’s totem dragon is not a living, breathing dragon. Becoming a dragon shaman is a spiritual journey, where the emulation of power is facilitated through a spiritual entity. This spirit could be the soul of a dead dragon, perhaps sent by one of the dragon gods to act as the dragon shaman’s guide. For others it is an inner aspect of the their own soul, suggesting some past draconic influence in their life or bloodline. And some ancient dragons are able to instill a fragment of their essence into a mortal, passing on a rudimentary copy of their knowledge and personality. It is the connection to this dragon spirit, and the act of bonding to it, that transforms a mortal into a dragon shaman. Abilities taught or gifted more directly by a dragon instead creates a warlock or sorcerer, depending on the circumstances involvedChromatic Totem Dragon
As children of Tiamat, many chromatic dragons hold the belief that they are superior to all other creatures. Their vanity is not without reason; very few creatures, save perhaps another dragon, can stand up to a fully grown chromatic and live to tell the tale. Having a chromatic totem dragon does not make one inherently evil. Good-aligned individuals can emulate a chromatic dragon’s strength without adhering to evil ideals. For some, the choice of which dragon spirit bonded with them was never theirs to make; part of their journey is embracing the nature of their dragon and learning how best to wield its power.Chromatic Dragon
When you choose this totem dragon at 1st level, you pick a true dragon to emulate. Your choice determines the damage type associated with your totem dragon and some of the features you gain at later levels. Chromatic Dragon Type| Dragon | Damage Type | Skill Proficiencies |

At 6th level, you take on an aspect of your totem dragon. These adaptations are always active, unless otherwise stated. In addition, you gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet if you don’t already have it. If you already have darkvision from another source, its range increases by 30 feet.- Black – Amphibious.

Starting at 15th level, when you are reduced to half of your maximum hit points or fewer you can roll d10s instead of d6s for your Draconic Breath.Gem Totem Dragon
Gem dragons are wielders of powerful psionic abilities, and many are prodigiously intelligent as a result. While most metallic dragons may help a dragon shaman gain their powers in order to provide some kind of aid for a greater cause, a gem dragon will help a mortal out of the simple joy from bestowing some of their power to another. This was a personality quirk of Sardior himself. Being the progenitor of all gem dragons, most look up to Sardior as an ideal, and do their best to emulate him through their own actions. The bond with a gem totem dragon awakens a small amount of psionic power in mortals. This power is, compared to even the youngest of dragons, relatively weak, but still grants the dragon shaman a few unique psionic abilities.Gem Dragon

Whenever a feature you gain from this class uses your Charisma, you can use your Intelligence instead. Additionally, when you gain the Dragon Wings feature you can hover when using your fly speed.Draconic Adaption

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.Metallic Totem Dragon
Among the wisest of all creatures, most metallic dragons are noble and altruistic. They acknowledge their own strength as that of one powerful race among the many that live in the world. Dragon shamans who emulate metallic dragons often use their strength to help others in need. Bonding with a metallic totem dragon connects the mortal to Bahamut in a way many clerics of the platinum dragon could only dream of, and it is not uncommon to find such dragon shamans pledging a life of devotion.Metallic Dragon
