Dragon Blade (5e Class)

Dragon Blade

Introduction

A dragon blade is a powerful warrior who has been chosen by a dragon to become its champion. The reason why a dragon has chosen its champion is often a mystery. Some dragons may have a quest or journey they want their champion to complete in their place; other dragons might choose based on someone's alignment or righteous nature. Dragons are very selective when choosing a champion and because of this, not many are around. Usually only the older or more powerful dragons have champions. For some, a champion is a symbol of pride and power, but for others, it can be a way to spread the influence of the person they entrust their power to. The longer a champion remains loyal, the more physically draconic they become.
