Dragon Knight

A heavily clad knight walks through the town. The townsfolk make way with fear in their eyes. She hears a scream in the middle of the town and she rushes to the source. A man, the governor, just executed another man for stumbling before him; eyes of rage burn behind her intimidating helmet. She leaps and strikes at the governor; he retracts and tries to cast his spells, to no avail. She grabs the man by the neck, and her cloak spreads out, shifting into wings as she launches into the air. She calls out to the wind, then throws the man downwards; as he falls his last sight is the maw of an ancient dragon. She lands upon her companion, then departs.

Atop a misty mountain, a group of refugees cower as the man before them, an elf, battles the blue dragon that has destroyed their town. He lunges and spews out a massive bolt of lightning, taking out the dragon's eye; He walks to the injured creature. The enslaved child of his enemy lands at his feet. He waves his hand commanding it to protect the villagers. It shields them with its body. In a last ditch effort, a crack of lightning is expelled from the downed foe, directly at the knight. He falls, and for a moment the dragon sees victory. The knight slowly rises. Renewed by the assault, he commands his subject to merge with himself; he crackles with lightning and flies at his foe, caught in a death embrace, as they both fall to their doom.

Among a horde of demons are a warrior and his trusted friend, a scarred silver dragon. He spins his lance around, hitting several of his enemies, to little avail, and as a last ditch effort he expels a wave of ice all around him, killing several of them; he then commands his dragon to brutally assault the remaining demons. Their destruction grants them a small reprieve. He pulls out his ax, takes a deep breath, soars up into the sky with his trusted steed, then jumps to what seems to be certain doom. As he lands, the earth shakes and his enemies fall to the ground. He rises up and looks to the army charging them; he looks back and sees his friend's nest: the last of the silver dragons, not yet even born. He looks to his friend once more, and smiles.

Envoy of the Dragon

Not many deserve to rule over dragons, and fewer still can ever accomplish such a feat, but those who do mostly become Dragon Knights, an ancient order who once devoted their lives to protecting the eggs of dragons. These warriors would lay down their lives in exchange for the dragon to watch over their race. Occasionally a wyrmling would see the devotion of these knights and would then devote their lives to protecting the one who they owed their chance at life to, but with the dwindling numbers of the dragons, this order simply faded into history. Occasionally a mortal might become a Dragon Knight by raising a dragon, although many have found ways to enslave dragons to their own ends. Neither good nor evil prevents a Dragon Knight from taking form, all it takes is devotion.

The Magic of Symbiosis

Many dragons possess powers that not even they are aware of. A Dragon Knight knows the ancient arts required in artificial aging and power extraction, and by forging a soul connection with the dragon, either willing or forced, creates a symbiotic relationship between the two, although the knight tends to take more than it gives in the terms of power. Those that act in the best interest of the dragon can benefit their companion to a great degree, accomplishing tasks that would be impossible by themselves alone. Naturally charismatic, Dragon Knights, although usually feared, are called upon to accomplish tasks that not even armies can perform, and are known as great saviors, or villains; it is rare for a Dragon Knight to not be known throughout the land. Their courage is boundless, their strength magnificent, and their leadership awe inspiring.

Breath Attack

If your dragon has an intelligence of 12 or has been under your service for at least a year, it may perform its breath attack on its own. After having used breath weapon, at the start of each of the dragon's turns, roll 1d6 -- on a 6 it can use breath weapon again. This becomes 5-6 at level 7 and 4-6 at level 14, and 3-6 at level 20.

Additionally, if they are concentrating on a spell they have to make a concentration check with disadvantage. You can bless a number of weapons equal to your Charisma modifier per long rest.

Dragon Scales

Mythical Flight

Unequaled Intensity

When you reach 10th level, your breath attack ignores resistance and treats immunity as resistance. Legendary Interference[edit] Starting at level 15, when a creature within 5 feet of you uses a legendary action or its resistance comes into effect, you may use a reaction to cancel it out. You may use this ability once per short or long rest. Additionally, you may use this to cause a creature to reroll a saving throw, taking the lower of the two rolls.

Dragon Fury

At 18th level you may use an action to merge your dragon's spirit with yourself; while merged, you crackle with elemental energy, all your attacks gain an extra 2d10 damage of your dragon's element, you gain an extra attack when you take the attack action (which stacks with extra attack), and you ignore resistance and immunities to your physical attacks. This lasts for 1 minute and you may use this only once per long rest. While in this form, you gain temporary hit points equal to your dragon's health; if it is reduced to 0, the merge ends and your dragon falls unconscious. When you revert back, the dragon's health becomes the same as the temporary health was.
