Dragon Slayer[edit]
Dragon slayers are a unique type of people. They are taught by dragons on how to use magic when they are young. They become a master of whatever element they are taught. They can produce and control their element from any part of their body, which can be used both in melee or as a ranged form of offense. The generated element can be manipulated in a wide variety of ways, but their “type” is fixed. However, they can be given a material manifestation. Due to their draconian mentors, they possess keener senses such as sight, hearing, and smell. They also have some defining physical characteristics such as reptilian pupils, sharper canines, or dragon scales in various places.
Creating a Dragon Slayer[edit]
A dragon slayer is a master of their magic type as well as using his/her own body as a weapon. They are masters of unarmed combat, amplifying their own natural power with elemental magic. Their power is that of a dragon's, which is where they draw their namesake.
To quickly build a dragon slayer, make Dexterity your highest. Followed by Wisdom, then Constitution. Take the Outlander or Hermit background.

Shadow Dragon Slayer[edit]
Technique created by Skiadrum the Shadow Dragon, you have been trained by him to learn the Shadow Dragon Slayer power or somehow gained their power through Dragon Slayer Lacrima.
- Shadow Dragon's Slash:
At 2nd level as an action for 2 mana you can cover your arm in shadows before punching your target. Upon landing your attack the shadows shoot outward as multiple tendrils stab into your target. This move has a +1 to hit and the user rolls a 1d10 for however many tendrils land on the target. The damage dealt being xd4 necrotic damage, with x being the number rolled on the d10.
- Shadow Dragon's Haste:
At 2nd level as an action for 3 mana you can attempt to grab your opponent with a hand cloaked in shadows. On a successful hit you grab your opponent by their neck and begin to drain their life, dealing 2d8 necrotic damage and healing by the same amount.
- Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash:
At 2nd level as an action for 2 mana you can phase into the shadows beneath you appearing behind up to 3 targets. Those targets then must succeed a Wisdom saving throw to notice you. If you're hidden from your targets they receive a -3 penalty to this save. On a successful save they notice and manage to avoid your attack. On a failed save you assault them with a feather-like stream of shadows dealing 4d10 Necrotic Damage.
- Shadow Dragon's Eruption:
At 4th Level as an action for 4 mana you form a ball of shadow in your hands before throwing it at the ground within 45 feet of you as it erupts into a geyser of shadows. Those caught within a 30 feet sphere of the ball's location must succeed a Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d8 necrotic damage on a failed save and half as much on a success.
- Shadow Dragon's Abyss:
At 6th level as an action for 6 mana you can spread out your shadow in a 40 foot radius from you for the next minute, this ground counts as difficult terrain and can catch airborne creatures. Those caught within this shadow or start their turn in it must succeed a Strength saving throw. On a success they manage to avoid being pulled in or go up 1 stage if they're already trapped inside, on a failed they begin sinking into the shadows up to 3 stages. Allies can willingly enter the 3rd stage without suffocating. Those 3 levels below you or below half health skip to stage 2. Those 6 levels below you or below 1/3rd health skip to stage 3.
- 1 Fail: The become trapped from the waist down, losing access to all forms of movements or abilities that would move them until escaping the shadow.
- 2 Fails: They become trapped from the neck down, only being able to use their head and nothing else.
- 3 Fails: They become completely trapped in your shadow and begin suffocating. Remaining there even after the spell ends. They become freed if you're either knocked out or willingly free them.
- Shadow Drive:
At 8th level, as a bonus action for 2 mana you can enter Shadow Drive, cloaking your body in an aura of dark shadows. Significantly strengthening your body for the next minute. Shadow Drive cost 1 mana at the start of each turn to remain in the form and gives the following benefits:
- +2 to AC and enemies receive a -2 penalty to saving throws against you as your body morphs in an out of shadows. Attacks that miss you allow you to disappear into shadows and reappear in a location 15 feet away.
- The first Dragon Slayer spell you perform each turn has it's damage die increased by 1 step.
- You can reduce the first 2 instances of damage you take each turn by 5.
