PublicationPathfinder Lost Omens Draconic Codex

The oath that ties you to your bound dragon transcends the boundaries of life and death. When the pact is made, the dragon chooses one type of creature other than humanoid. (The GM selects the appropriate trait.) You gain resistance equal to half your level to physical and mental damage from these creatures. You also gain the Draconic Precision action. If you die from damage delivered by a creature of this type, you rise as an undead creature of the dragon's choice. This undead's level can be no higher than your level or your bound dragon's, whichever is lower. This undead creature has your mind; if it's normally mindless, it loses that trait and any immunity to mental.

Draconic Precision 1 (concentrate)

Frequency once per day


Effect Your Strikes against the chosen type of enemy deal an additional 1d6 precision damage for 1 minute. This damage increases to 2d6 if you're 17th level or higher.


Oathbreaker's Calamity Should either party break the oath, both you and the dragon are forever forsworn from comradery. Creatures can't treat either of you as an ally while in combat.


Trait Effects

Contract: A contract is a type of item that magically establishes an agreement between multiple parties and typically grants magical benefits.

Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
