 Dragon Rider
A
lightly armored half-elf sits atop her scaled
companion. Light glints off of the scales as the
dragon jumps from it's perch in the mountains
to fly down to the valley below. Dodging
between a slew of black arrows, the dark blue
dragon spews a blast of lightning from it's maw
onto the squad of goblins below.
A hulking red dragon breathes fire upon a slew of soldiers
upon a battlfield marred with ashes and arrows. Bodies are
littered around the dragon and his Orc companion, sitting
upon the dragon skewering anyone dumb enough to come
within range of the bloodthirsty pair.
Clothed in a white robe pulled tight around him, a young
human and his large white dragon companion stalk their prey
through a snowy field. The pari is nearly indistinguishable
from the ground beneath them and their quarry is unaware of
their presence. Large bolts of magic blast from the human's
hands as he strikes the creatures before him.
Regardless of scale color or birthplace, the dragon and his
rider are bonded from birth. Joined at the soul, dragon and
rider are inseparable. Whether good or evil, lawful or chaotic,
a dragon and his rider work together toward their common
goal; each giving the other benefits because of their joined
souls.
Joined Souls
A Dragon Rider and his Dragon are bonded at birth. The
child is paraded before several dragon eggs until one hatches.
When the egg hatches for a child, the child and the dragon
form a bond that magically joins their souls together. The
dragon and his future rider become inseparable, forming a
strong telepathic bond.
The Dragon grants his rider innate magical abilities,
coming directly from the Dragon's magical ancestry. The
Dragon Rider can tap into the senses of his scaled
companion, allowing him to see farther, hear better, and smell
more sharply than a normal person would be able.
Because of the nature of the bond between Dragon and
Rider, the death of one of the pair results in a catastrophic
loss for the surviving member. The most likely outcome from
a loss on this scale is insanity, with the potential for
immediate death of the surviving of the pair. However in
some instances, with a very strong will, the surviving member
will come out on the other side relatively unscathed, despite
the difficulty of living with half a soul.
Life in the Wind
Rider and Dragon, twin souls, born to be brothers. A dragon
and rider live for adventure, travelling from place to place
exploring the known world and doing good for those around
them, or raining destruction on those unfortunate enough to
be caught in their path.
Dragon and Rider alike live a life of freedom, not being
held down by anything but the relationships that they form
with those around them.
PART 1 | Dragon Rider
2
The life of a Dragon Rider is a lonely one, however the bond
between dragon and rider allows for a companion no matter
where life takes them.
Creating a Dragon Rider
As you build your dragon rider, think about the type of dragon
with which you are bonded. The color of a dragon determines
many of the abilities that a rider recieves through his bond
with the dragon. Think about the relationship between
dragon and rider. Do you and your dragon continue to serve
the order of dragon riders? Or have you and your companion
decided to strike out alone and try to make it on your own.
What led you to become an adventurer? Do you and your
dragon have a desire to discover ancient locations not seen by
men in this era? Are you and your partner building a large
hoard, and beginning small by doing odd jobs for villagers
nearby? Maybe you are the people's champion from the town
in which you were born and raised. Maybe your dragon and
you have been cast out of your homeland because of some
crime committed at an early age. Maybe you've been cast out
because those close to you are fearful of your abilities, and
the dragon with which you have formed your bond.
Quick Build
You can make a dragon rider quickly by following these
suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest
ability score, depending on whether you want to focus on
melee weapons or on archery (or finesse weapons). Your next-
highest score should be Wisdom, to fuel your innate casting
ability. Second, choose the Outlander background.

Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty.
Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting
Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose
again.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged
weapons.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even
if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.
The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property
for you to gain this benefit.
Protection
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you
that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to
impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding
a shield.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Soulbound
The group known as the Dragon Riders travels to many
towns and cities throughout the known world, bringing eggs
to be brought before newborn children. When an egg hatches
for a child, the two become bonded with soul and mind. A
dragon rider's abilities stem from this bond, but there are
downsides to this as well. Because of this bond, the death of
one of the soulbound pair results in a catastrophic loss for
the surviving member of the pair.

PART 1 | Dragon Rider

 But the lifelong bond is worth it for the pair, as the near
immortality flows between both dragon rider. On a percentile
die, a roll of 1-15 means death; 16-80 means permanent
insanity, 81-100 means no effect. Restoring the partner to life
restores insanity. If death, both must be restored.
A Dragon Rider also gains proficiency in the Draconic
language as well because of the bond with their dragon.
Mind Meld
Dragon and Rider form a special bond from birth, and both
mind and soul are joined by strong magics. A dragon rider
and his companion can speak to each other telepathically
because of this bond, but they can also meld their minds
together to become as though one mind with two bodies. This
mind meld grants special abilities to both dragon and rider as
their bond becomes stronger. Melding your mind with your
dragon takes concentration on both ends, and breaking this
concentration ends the abilities that come from your mind
meld.
Spellcasting
Because of your bond with your dragon, you have the ability
to cast magical spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of
spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
wizard spell list. You learn additional wizard cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Dragon Rider table.
Innate Spellcasting
Being a dragon rider allows you to draw on the
magical power running through the veins of you
and your companion. As your bond strengthens,
then you can expand your knowledge to allow you
to cast more powerful spells. You can also draw
upon the ancient knowledge of dragons to increase
your capabilities and learn new spells.
Spell Slots
The Dragon Rider table shows how many spell slots you have
to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these
spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher.
You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long
rest.
for example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have
a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast
shield using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher
You know 3 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of
which you must choose from the abjuration and evocation
spells on the wizard spell list.
PART 1 | Dragon Rider
4
The Spells Known column of the Dragon Rider
Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells
of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an
abjuration or evocation spell of your choice, and must be of a
level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you
reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of
1st or 2nd level.
The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come
from any school of magic.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one
of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your
choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a
level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an
abjuration or evocation spell, unless you're replacing the spell
you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells,
since you learn your spells through the bond with your
dragon. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability.
In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting
the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when
making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Blood of a Dragon
Because of your bond with your dragon, starting at 2nd level
you now have blood of a dragon running through your veins.
This prevents you from becoming sick from any disease.
You receive other benefits as you become stronger because
of your dragon blood.
Rider Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you emulate by
focusing on different areas of your bond with your dragon.
Choose Dragon Knight, or Dragon Kin, both detailed at the
end of the class description. The archetype you choose grants
you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and
18th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th,
16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of
your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of
your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability
score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
The number of attacks increases to two when you reach
5th level, and three when you reach 11th level in this class.
