class features:
Nature Dragon Slayer Magic (Level 1): You have been trained in a unique form of magic that allows you to harness the power of the forest to combat dragons. Your breath weapon is poison-based, and you gain resistance to poison damage. You also gain profiency in Nature. Nature's Absorption (Level 1): At 1st level, you gain the ability to consume other nature-based attacks directed at you. When you are targeted by a spell or ability that deals damage of a earth or poison, you can use your reaction to absorb the energy. You regain hit points equal to the damage taken. If this healing brings you above your maximum hit points, the excess becomes temporary hit points. Slayer's Bond (Level 2): At 2nd level, you form a magical bond with the flora and fauna of the forest. You gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened and charmed. Additionally, you gain proficiency in the Nature skill if you don't already have it.

On a failed save, a creature takes poison damage equal to your Nature Dragon Slayer level and is poisoned until the end of its next turn.
