Level 1: Dragon Blood

Though the nature of your draconic blood doesn't control you, it pours into your magical capabilities. You gain a new feature associated with your draconic ancestry.

Metallic Dragon - As a bonus action, you offer Draconic protection to creatures of your choice within 30ft of you. The creatures gain temporary hit points equal to your Sorcerer level and gain resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry for one minute. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining spent uses on a long rest.

The creatures add 1d4 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Ancestry to the first damage roll they make each turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining spent uses on a long rest.

When you reach 6th level, this damage increases to 1d6. When you reach 10th level, it increases to 1d8. When you reach 18th level, it increases to 1d10.

Level 6: Elemental Affinity

Starting at 6th level, your spells and class features ignore resistance and immunity to the damage type associated with your draconic lineage, and when you cast a spell that deals damage of that type, you can apply an additional effect depending on the damage type.

Acid.

When you hit a creature with the spell’s attack or when they fail the spell’s saving throw, their armor class takes a −1 penalty until the end of your next turn, or for the duration of the spell, whichever is longer.

Any reductions to their armor class also reduce the roll needed to score a critical hit by the same amount for the same duration.

If the spell affects an area, the area becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute. If a creature moves into this difficult terrain for the first time on a turn, they must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Spell Save DC.

Failure. The target falls prone.

If the spell affects single targets, it instead causes them to fall prone if they failed the spell’s saving throw, or if the spell was an attack roll, they must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save dc, falling prone on a failure.

Fire.

If the spell affects an area, the area that the spell affected erupts in living flames for 1 minute. Any creature of your choice that ends its turn in the flames takes a number of d6s of fire damage equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up) and gains 1 level of Burning.

If the spell affects single targets, it instead causes them to gain 1 level of Burning.

Lightning.

Failure. The target takes an equal amount of lightning damage.
