Draconic Acolyte

Requirements You are holding or wearing your draconic gift.

You briefly summon spectral claws that lash out in a flurry. All creatures in a 15-foot cone take 1d6 slashing damage with a Basic Reflex save against the higher of your class DC or spell DC. A creature that critically fails the save also takes 0d4 persistent bleed damage. If you are Channeling Draconic Essence, your spectral dragon's space can be the origin of the cone.

At 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the initial damage increases by 1d6 and the persistent bleed damage on a critical failure increases by 1d4.

Requirements You are holding or wearing your draconic gift.

Energy reminiscent of dragon scales shimmers over you, making it more difficult for attacks to penetrate your defenses. Until the start of your next turn, you gain a +1 status bonus to AC and gain resistance equal to half your level to bludgeoning damage. If you are Channeling Draconic Essence, you can grant these benefits to a willing creature who is in the same space as your spectral dragon instead of you.

Your devotion to dragons has attracted a loyal servant. You gain a familiar. You can select four familiar or master abilities each day, instead of two, but one of them must always be the Dragon familiar ability. When you Channel Draconic Essence, you can also Command your familiar as a free action.

Requirements You are Channeling Draconic Essence.

Uncontainable power explodes from your spectral dragon. Your Channel Draconic Essence ends, and all creatures (except you) in a 10-foot emanation from your spectral dragon take 3d6 damage with a Basic Reflex save against the higher of your class DC or spell DC. The damage's type matches the breath of your draconic benefactor. You then can't use Essence Overflow again for 1d4 rounds.

At 8th level and every 2 levels thereafter, the damage increases by 1d6.

Requirements You are holding or wearing your draconic gift.

Calling on your draconic gift, spectral wings carry you to your destination. You Fly. If you don't normally have a fly Speed, you gain a fly Speed of 20 feet for this movement. If your spectral dragon shares your space, this fly Speed is instead 30 feet, and your spectral dragon moves with you. If you aren't on solid ground at the end of this movement, you fall.

Frequency once per day

Trigger You take damage.

Requirements You are Channeling Draconic Essence.

Your power blunts blades and weakens spells like the hardiest of dragon scales. You gain resistance to the triggering damage equal to your level. Channel Draconic Essence ends.

Your investment in your draconic gift has unlocked greater power. When your spectral dragon shares your space, the status bonus to saves against sleep and paralysis increases to +2.

In addition, you can use Draconic Salvation if you succeeded or failed on your saving throw, not only if you critically failed.

Trigger You roll initiative.

The power of dragons flows through you at the merest thought. You Channel Draconic Essence.

Requirements You are holding or wearing your draconic gift.

Draconic essence coruscates around you, sapping the resilience of your foes. Each enemy in a 20-foot emanation must attempt a Will saving throw against the higher of your class DC or spell DC. If you are Channeling Draconic Essence, your spectral dragon can be the origin of this emanation. Regardless of the result of its saving throw, a creature that attempts a save is temporarily immune to your Frightening Power for 24 hours.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature is Frightened 1.

Failure The creature is Frightened 2.

Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 4.

Either by beseeching a dragon or bending it to your will, you conjure a mighty creature to assist you. Once per day while you are Channeling Draconic Essence, you can cast Summon Dragon as an innate spell with a tradition matching your draconic exemplar, heightened to half your level rounded up.

Your draconic gift is the key to a repository of treasure that only you can access. You create an extradimensional space that can hold up to 100 Bulk worth of objects. The space functions as a spacious pouch, but has no Bulk, and can be Interacted with using only one hand by touching your draconic gift. You can normally store and retrieve items that could fit through the opening of a bag (as Spacious Pouch). However, you can store an unattended item larger than would normally fit (but no larger than 10 Bulk) by spending 1 minute concentrating on your draconic gift as you press it against the object. Retrieving it takes 1 minute and causes the item to appear in the closest unoccupied space.
