Drakewarden Ranger

Class Features

Feature Description
Draconic Gift At 3rd level, the bond with your drake grants you Thaumaturgy, allowing you to cast the Thaumaturgy cantrip as a ranger spell. Additionally, you gain the ability to speak, read, and write Draconic, or one other language of your choice.
Drake Companion At 3rd level, you can summon a drake bound to you. It appears within 30 feet of you and obeys your commands. You can also choose the damage type for its Draconic Essence, which affects its abilities. The drake shares your initiative count and takes its turn immediately after you.
Bond of Fang and Scale At 7th level, when you summon your drake, it grows wings and gains a flying speed. Additionally, you gain resistance to the damage type chosen for the drake’s Draconic Essence, and the drake’s Bite attack deals extra damage.
Drake’s Breath At 11th level, you or your drake can exhale a 30-foot cone of breath damage in a chosen damage type (acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison). This deals 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half on a successful save. The damage increases to 10d6 at 15th level.
Perfected Bond At 15th level, the bond between you and your drake reaches its full potential. Your drake’s Bite attack becomes more powerful, and it grows to Large size. While riding the drake, it can use its flying speed. You also gain the Reflexive Resistance ability to protect each other from damage.
