Draconic Sorcery (5e24)
Draconic Sorcery [1][2] [3]
Sorcerer subclass
Breathe the Magic of Dragons
Your innate magic comes from the gift of a dragon. Perhaps an ancient dragon facing death bequeathed some of its magical power to you or your ancestor. You might have absorbed magic from a site infused with dragons’ power. Or perhaps you handled a treasure taken from a dragon’s hoard that was steeped in draconic power. Or you might have a dragon for an ancestor.

Draconic Resilience
3rd level Draconic Sorcery feature.
The magic in your body manifests physical traits of your draconic gift. Your Hit Point Maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 whenever you gain another Sorcerer level.
Parts of you are also covered by dragon-like scales. While you aren’t wearing armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Charisma modifiers.
Draconic Spells
3rd level Draconic Sorcery feature.
When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Draconic Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

| 5th | Fear, Fly |
| 7th | Arcane Eye, Charm Monster |
| 9th | Legend Lore, Summon Dragon |
Elemental Affinity
6th level Draconic Sorcery feature.
Your draconic magic has an affinity with a damage type associated with dragons. Choose one of those types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison.
You have Resistance to that damage type, and when you cast a spell that deals damage of that type, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell.
Dragon Wings
14th level Draconic Sorcery feature.
As a Bonus Action, you can cause draconic wings to appear on your back. The wings last for 1 hour or until you dismiss them (no action required). For the duration, you have a Fly Speed of 60 feet.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you spend 3 Sorcery Points (no action required) to restore your use of it.
Dragon Companion
18th level Draconic Sorcery feature.
You can cast Summon Dragon without a Material component. You can also cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a Long Rest.
Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn’t require Concentration. If you do so, the spell’s duration becomes 1 minute for that casting. 5e24
