Wyrmbound Dedication

Feat 2

Prerequisites a Draconic Patron

Like a wyrmling freshly hatched you require knowledge and training before you can be of great use to your patron. You become trained in the skill corresponding to the tradition of your draconic patron (Arcana for arcane, Religion for divine, Occultism for occult, or Nature for primal dragons respectively), and you gain the Additional Lore skill feat for the type of dragon matching your patron, such as Barrage Dragon Lore. If you were already trained in this skill or lore you become trained in another skill or lore.

Additionally a useful peon must look the part if they are to represent the majesty of a dragon. You learn a ritual to designate a suit of clothing or armor of yours as your draconic attire. You can perform this ritual as part of your daily preparations or over the course of an hour. Your draconic attire lasts until your next daily preparations or until you designate a new suit. Your attire can only be worn by you and takes on the traits and aesthetics associated with your patron, the latter of which you decide upon each time you perform the ritual. You can shift its appearance between its normal and resplendent draconic forms with a free action that has the concentrate trait. While wearing your draconic attire in its resplendent appearance you can use the lore or tradition skill associated with your patron in place of your Diplomacy checks to Make an Impression or Request, and Intimidation checks to Coerce or Demoralize a creature so long as they would be convinced or cowed by your patron.

Wyrm's Tongue

Feat 4

Prerequisites Wyrmbound Dedication

With some magical assistance you take your first steps to becoming a polyglot like the dragons of legend. You can cast Translate as an innate spell once per day with a tradition matching your draconic patron's and heightened to a rank equal to half your level rounded up. At 10th level you can also cast Truespeech with the same frequency and heightening.

You are considered constantly under the effects of 3rd rank Translate at 8th level, and under the effects of 7th rank Truespeech at 14th level.

Wyrm's Mobility

Feat 4

Prerequisites Wyrmbound Dedication

While taking flight will require a deepening of your bond already you begin to reap the bounties of your patron's blessings.

You gain the Quick Jump and Cat Fall skill feats even if you do not meet the prerequisites for them. When you meet the prerequisites for the Cloud Jump and Aerobatics Mastery skill feats, you gain these feats.

At 10th level your bond has deepened enough to grant yourself a fraction of a dragon's flight. You gain a fly speed of 20 feet, which increases by 5 feet at 15th and 20th level.

You become an expert in two of the other prerequisite skills. Additionally when you can first increase a skill to master and then to Legendary you can also increase one of the prerequisite skills to master and then another to legendary, choosing which skill each time.

Your unwavering service to your draconic patron has not gone unnoticed and your bond strengthens, improving in the following ways:

Wyrm's Claws The damage resistance from your draconic attire increases to your level and the additional damage of your strikes and unarmed attacks increases to 2d6.

Wyrm's Pactmaker

Feat 16

Prerequisites Wyrmbound dedication; master in your patron's tradition skill.

To lesser beings you can handily serve as your patron's substitute in the manner of pacts. You count as and can take the place of a dragon in a dragon pact (Draconic Codex pg. 226) with creatures of a lower level than you. Any features requiring draconic anatomy or abilities use those of your patron, and any alterations unsuited for your physiology affect you proportionally. A broken pact of this manner does not affect your patron.
