First Introductions

First Steps

• Gold, Copper, or Bronze: Fierce Companion. You dragon will seek out and stay aware of threats, keeping watch and granting you advantage in combat. Permanently gain +2 to your initiative, as well as a permanent +1 to your proficiency modifier.
• Silver, Mercury, or Iron: Distant Tactician. Your dragon will typically watch from afar, giving you psychic nudges as to its recommended actions, as well as traps and secrets it may spot from further away. Permanently gain +2 to your passive perception, and roll your first attack each round with advantage.

Evolved Cooperation

Warming Up

• Sweep. Your dragon makes a tail attack on a specified enemy. On a successful hit, the enemy is knocked prone or is dazed if it cannot be made prone. The next attack made against this creature automatically hits.
• Launch. Your dragon makes a sweeping movement, moving in a large circle in the air, to throw you up to 120 feet in any one direction of your choosing. If this action causes you to collide with a creature, you may make a melee attack. On a successful hit, you add 1d10 + your strength modifier in force damage to your attack.
• Strife. Your dragon sweeps overhead, hurling its breath weapon down on an area of your choice.
• Dragon's Cry. Your dragon emits a powerful roar. Creatures you deem enemies within 90 feet of your dragon must make a Wisdom saving throw, DC 20, or be frightened of your dragon, yourself, and your allies for the next six rounds. Creatures may retake this saving throw at the beginning of each turn, becoming immune to this effect on a successful saving throw or when this effect ends. Additionally, creatures you deem allies become rallied and cannot be frightened for the next 6 rounds, and attack with advantage if they are adjacent to an allied creature.

Tandem Teamwork

True Rider

• Arcane Breath. (if you chose spellcasting in your rider features) You choose a number of spell slots to consume, pouring the arcane energy into your dragon as it uses its breath weapon. The breath weapon used this turn will cover its normal area times the number of spell slots used, damage dealt increases by one damage die per spell slot consumed, and the DC saving throw will increase by your Wisdom modifier.
• Dragoon Lance. (if you chose a fighting style in your rider features) You make a weapon attack, using your dragon's movement to increase the power of your attack. Your dragon's ability score is used for this attack roll, and any successful hit is treated as a critical success.
• Synchronized Strike. Your dragon may use its draconic link to pass on to you immunity to its own breath weapon, using its breath weapon to launch you; or a projectile you fire, or a spell you use, at an enemy you choose. This attack is made using your dragon's ability scores, and deals 1.5 times normal damage from both your attack and your dragon's breath weapon. This ability is not limited to matching damage types. For example, a silver dragon's cold breath may launch a firebolt and both damage types will be dealt. If you are launched in your dragon's breath weapon with this effect, you take no damage as a result of using this feature.
