Dragon’s Voice

Dragon's Voice

Vizier dragons cultivate extraordinary beings, but their methods have long sparked fierce debate among their own kind.

The most infamous experiment was the archdragon Mengkare's city of Promise, a eugenic project of staggering ambition. In his Glorious Endeavor, he sought to forge a perfect species by excising free will itself. He invited those he deemed the best of humanity, but the price was total submission: every major life decision was made by the archdragon.

From the ashes of Mengkare's hubris, a new philosophy arose. A council of vizier dragons argued that the archdragon's mistake was not his goal, but his method. True potential, they posited, cannot be forced or bred, it must be unlocked through inspiration. What if a dragon could bestow a fragment of their own power upon an individual with latent potential, elevating them to become a mentor and a catalyst for countless others?

Thus was born the Dragon's Voice, chosen individuals charged with a single mission: to inspire others to realize their potential and embody the truth that greatness is walked freely.

Dragon's Voice Dedication

Feat 2

uncommonarchetypededication

Prerequisites Charisma +2; trained in Diplomacy or Performance

Your voice is empowered by a vizier dragon. The DC for abilities gained via this archetype is either your class DC or spell DC, whichever is higher, and is called your dragon's voice DC. You gain the Powerful Utterance action.

Powerful Utterance aa You express your power in one of two ways. You can't use Powerful Utterance again for 1d4 rounds.
• Ardent Proclamation (occult, fire) You breathe a blast of flames in a 30-foot cone that deals 2d6 fire damage. Each creature in the area must attempt a basic Reflex save against your dragon's voice DC. At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, the damage increases by 1d6.
• Chastising Word (auditory, mental, occult) You chide the targets strictly enough to leave the mind reeling. Each creature within a 30-foot cone must attempt a Will save against your dragon's voice DC. On a failure, the creature becomes stupefied 1 for 1 minute (or stupefied 2 on a critical failure).

Words of Power

Words are special actions that enhance your allies or doom your enemies. The word trait means the action has the auditory, linguistic, and mental traits. After being affected by a word, a target becomes immune to that same word for 1 minute. You can use a word action only in encounter mode.

Reverberation

A "Reverberation" line on a word feat represents a benefit you can acquire. You don't gain these benefits unless you take a feat that grants them.

Word of Caution a

Feat 4

Echoing Triumph

Your voice is a wellspring that mends flesh and spirit. Choose one ally within 30 feet. That ally gains fast healing 5 + their level for 1 round. You can Sustain this effect once per round as a single action.
Reverberation Your words purge weakness. The target can immediately attempt a new saving throw against one negative effect or condition currently affecting it that required a save. If the new save would have a worse result than the original save, nothing happens. The target can attempt only one new save per effect and can't attempt a save against a negative effect or condition that is part of a curse, disease, or the effect of an artifact or deity.
