Fixing D&D Dragons (by making them Warlocks)

Dragons are the poster boys of DnD, warlocks are one of the most iconic D&D classes, so what if we combine warlocks and dragons together into it's own new thing?

Honestly, the concept of basing Warden Dragon off of animals has grown on me, so I think I'll propose some animal ideas for the other classes: Artificer: Termite (I imagine their hoard being like a city of some kind based around advancement. Also maybe monster hunter Ahtal-Ka vibes with the dragon possibly having its hoard build a dragon-shaped mech around its body, which is smaller compared to other dragons) Barbarian: Bear or Bull (I think that makes enough sense.) Bard: Maybe a Lyrebird or Peacock? (I like the thought of them being all flashy and extravagant, with their hoards being like secret societies) Cleric: Dove (White doves specifically to embody an angelic aspect of gods) Druid: Elk (antler headwear is a staple among druids and primal peoples. Also they'd totally take in anyone lost in the woods like a mysterious forest spirit) Fighter: Wolf (was already mentioned in the OG video so it goes without saying lol) Monk: Monkey (Journey to the west. They totally have temples devoted to enlightenment). Paladin: Eagle (It just felt right, and I couldn't think of anything else) Ranger: Viper (Quick fast strikes, nature) Rogue: Rat (Sneaky, underground city type beats)

[@Croutonium]

The druid + elk suggestion is so good. I can totally see that! For paladin, hear me out: Elephant. Imagine the tusks on that thing, and the body structure built as sturdy as a wall/shield.

I can see the Artificer Dragon getting its power from how widely its thralls' inventions are used. So its Artificers crank out usually practical gadgets for mass production.

[@Scream_Lord]

LOVE the design for the Patron Dragon but it feels a BIT too close to the Brainstealer Dragon which is a dragon that has been injected with Mindflayer Tadpoles and underwent Ceremorphosis. And like the Patron Dragons there are very tentacle-y, squidy, octopus faced dragons. But I suppose that COULD be used as a plot point. Maybe a Mindflayer Colony is using the resemblance to lure victims into their lairs. Or maybe someone mistook a Patron Dragon for a Brainstealer and send your party on a quest to slay it?

[@Croutonium]

I had the same thought about Brainstealers, but I'm thinking it was probably just out of not knowing about it, rather than copying. They're more a niche dragon AFAIK, especially for someone who constantly states his distaste for dragons lol. Kudos to you for turning a critique into a positive though!

[@masalanicholoff3593]

Maybe instead of having tentacled faces, they could have beaks and the w shaped pupils and skirt-like membranes of a cuttlefish? The cuttlefish aspect could be amplified by making them longer and wingless like Asian dragons.

[@daniell1483]

I love the idea of combining the Guild Master and Patron roles. I can practically see the story in my mind's eye. A great kingdom falls under the threat of some external foe and when all seems lost, people with supernatural power begin to arise from the masses, calling themselves adventurers and forming a guild, saving the kingdom. In return, the GM, a dragon in disguise, makes a deal with the king, slowly subverting power from within. Before the king knows it, he is little more than a figurehead with the Guild being the real authority in the nation, hostage to its one-time saviors.

[@Merilirem]

Was the external foe just another dragon's minions lol? Dragon power games moving the story lol.

[@daniell1483]

@@Merilirem Hm, you could play it that way, but in my headcanon, the stronger a being is, the more strictly binding oaths are. So I imagine the Dragon GM made a deal and abides by it to the letter. Maybe the external threat was another dragon or other existential threat, but the threat was genuine. But that's just my read.

[@Dabantam]

I actually came up with a fan Warden Dragon for Warlocks a while back. It was called a Proffer Dragon, and it basically acted as a middleman between its hoard and actual patrons, gaining strength and powers from both and sneakily form partnerships with other patrons in order to grow their hoards

[@gd_xl]

that’s sick

[@Dabantam]

I also made a fan warden dragon for bards called a Spectacle Dragon, a sort of parrot-like dragon that creates a variety of songs by mixing sounds it hears and creates a hoard of people inspired by its songs

[@HellIsForeverWithInfinite]

May I ask what animal it was based on? If you came up with that

[@Dabantam]

@@HellIsForeverWithInfinite It was also based on an octopus (which pretty much feels like a given for anything based around warlocks). The only real difference is modus operandi, with the official version being a patron itself while mine is more of a middle man between warlocks and the actual patrons.

[@MarkusAldawn]

The vibe of Pointy Hat is so strong that when the Human Familiar spoke, I was like "I wonder if this was dubbed over." I was so sold on the premise that the voice I was hearing belonged to a hat that when a human spoke with it, I was like "this jangles my suspension of disbelief."

[@ultimatepandaman3966]

Honestly silver dragons smelling like rain is such a good way to give a little bit of exposure to players. When you say something smells like rain you can immediately image the sensation and you will easily connect it with the particular dragon. It's the difference between describing entering the dungeon and saying the slabs have moss on them and saying "the place smells of damp, mossy stone". It's like it teleports you there with your eyes closed.

[@gabrielsalesmartins]

I really don't understand the beef Pointy Hat has with dragons, but I love this new contents to use on my tables, thanks for the new and interesting content!

[@AdriusFrostglare]

An excellent premise. I had my own notion of how to do dragons following a theme of "power". Assuming a homebrew setting where the chromatics, metallics, and all that jazz doesn't exist, a dragon starts off with a mote of power. As it grows, it develops and obsession for a particular thing that gives them 'power' and they make a horde that way. This can be anything: knowledge, wealth, loyalty, divinity, even something more nebulous like reputation. They grow in size as they accrue 'power', and usually stick to one type over others but can frequently get multiple. Their physical characteristics are dependent on what they value and collect the most of and usually this further entrenches their obsession. For instance, not all of them can fly, and not all of them look like lizards, much like your own dragons, but as they grow older, they need to accrue more and more of their power until they can't anymore, after which they lay a clutch of eggs, endowing it with some of their original power, before rapidly declining in health and dying... assuming they don't have contingencies. Often a dying dragon won't go quietly and becomes *everyone's problem*, just as a growing dragon seeks out more and more sources of power to feed itself. They essentially become 'power elementals'.

[@JulianLopez-rt6kp]

You know, I think you should have called this series Demico and Dragons, seeing as it's your take on the most iconic fantasy creature.

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

To me AD&D 2nd Ed, particularly the Councle of Wyrms box set, made the different dragons feel different. One reason is back in that edition of D&D flying characters had a fly level ranked from A to E. I think it was A could basically hover like a hummingbird but E had to constantly keep forward momentum at least at half speed. It also affected how well they could turn. A and B could turn on a dime, E turned in giant curves while C and D could turn faster but not easily. It was a lot of work that was normally ignored by all players/DMs unless you were very specifically having an aerial fight like dragon vs dragon. The really good fliers could mess up the crappy fliers. There where some other things that made them feel kind of different as well but I focused on that due to your comments about flying.

This was interesting, but I totally fell into it because I thought, from the outset, that it was how to make a Dragon as a Patron, which is something I have wanted for three years, which it eventually does, and almost as much as i have longed for a Clockwork Patron, so I can have some gunslinger warlock who received their firearm from Mechanus, and serves some powerful Modron, or even Primus, or some forgotten LE Rogue Automaton. Hell, now I might have to keep an eye out for Artificer + Dragon, because a dragon that actually MAKES something, and that then might be useful to others, despite their typical hoarding habits, could be great!

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

Thank you! This is almost exactly the type of dragon I've been running as a warlock patron. Not only do the characters regard them as gods, but I sidestepped the power sharing/loss dynamic by having the dragons demand their helots absorb the life essences or life echoes (memories) of defeated foes and offer these as semi-annual tributes to ensure the dragon patrons stay in power.

[@VulcanWolf]

Thanks for another fantastic entry, PH! I love what you've been doing for dragons in this series (can't be easy). Not only has it inspired a bunch of new ideas, it's helped fill some holes in my own worldbuilding process. And that's coming from someone who has a preference against dragons in general! You've given me a lot of use for them now. I hope this series is a success for you. It would be much deserved, especially because it's evident that a lot of work and care goes into everything you make. Gonna go rewatch my lich & dragon playlists now that I've updated them. 😂 Edit: Also love how the draconic essence could go one way or the other.

[@benjaminRitchey-e4q]

as soon as i saw the thumbnail, i knew this was going to be good.

[@Dumbozo_II]

I heard from a dnd KZbinr that once a patron gives power, they can't take it away. This is because the power a patron gives is more akin to knowledge than superpowers. So, the patron dragon being able to take away a warlocks power is probably a somewhat unique ability of theirs, kind of like taking knowledge from out of your head. And because the patron dragon lose some of themselves when they give power, it can be seen as the patron dragon being made of knowledge, which is maybe how they are able to take the knowledge away, since that knowledge is their body. And if all of this is true, perhaps as the power and knowledge given to a warlock grows, in some way, the patron dragons' body, knowledge, and power also grows. So when a patron dragon takes their power back, they gain more power knowledge and body mass. And if a patron dragon takes back all their power they gave all once it can result in a temporary super state where they're like twice as big. Maybe it's temporary because in taking all their knowledge back too fast they also takes all the knowledge of the warlock so they has to purge all of it afterwards before their soul gets polluted by memories and identities not their own.

[@ThePa1riot]

That all sounds very true to the Warlock’s class identity. What with the emphasis on occult lore and “secrets mortals were not meant to know,” as opposed to the Wizard’s more academic “peer reviewed” stance on magical knowledge. Not that Wizard’s are strangers to keeping secrets but the knowledge being kept usually isn’t hazardous itself as much as what it could do in the wrong hands. Plus the idea that the Patron can make a Warlock “un-know” something simply because it wishes to is very Warlock and disturbing. Add on to your idea of the knowledge taken back from the Warlock to the Dragon can muddle its mind with traces of different identities could make it go mad if it wasn’t already. A dragon with a mind both ancient and fragmented? Perfect Warlock Patron!

[@Dumbozo_II]

I probably should have spaced that out into paragraphs

[@ParkCityCutter]

I need more of this, we deserve this. I’m trying to make a campaign surrounding the idea of the warden dragons.

[@dragonmaster613]

Personally, I like finding redundant combinations that just go hard. Case in point: Draconic Sorcerer Dragonborn. So if there is a Dragon Pact, I'd love to see what a Dragon Race(Species post TCE) would do with it. Like a Assimar Celestial Warlock.

[@danjbundrick]

I might prefer sliiiiiiightly less emphasis on the tentacles in the dragon patron's art, but it's still a really cool design

[@cypixolotl571]

This series got me thinking of a fun idea for an artificer dragon. They have less raw power than other warden dragons so they resort to technology when building their hordes. While some foster communities of inventors, others construct whole armies of warforged trying to artificially raise their own strength. Make their design based on rodents like rats or beavers to match their weak but industrial vibes

[@intergalactic92]

Polite reminder that artificers are about enchantments as much as they are about inventions. Whilst they were created for the steampunk setting they can function in your typical high magic world. They do have an entire subclass dedicated to potion making and there isn’t any mechanical reason the artillerist has to have a mechanical cannon, it could be a familiar which happens to be able to breathe fire. The steel defender could be an enchanted tree that follows you around. Etc. Although, I do find the idea of a dragon that is as small as a salamander, building a mechanical dragon body to appear as large as traditional dragons to be highly amusing. I can see the party fighting mecha-Godzilla, and upon its defeat a tiny dragon crawls out for round two (or more likely run away in fear).

[@eniqmo6144]

Im already imagining a fight against tthis thing . Drop a few warlocks in the fight . Whenever one drops. The dragon either gains some health back or a spell slot. Maybe even give the dragon a bonus action to take the power back / or redistribute the power amongst the remaining warlock either giving its power to either warlocks . Or just keeping it to heal a bit, or reganning spell slots

[@syrupchugger421]

That's a great idea and helps keep it fresh and different from all other dragons, keeping the theme of warlock. That's again for feeding my campaigns with ever growing enemies and plot hooks

[@H240909]

I love the concept, but I’m not too crazy about the squid dragon look. Especially since we already have a big tentacle dragon monster (I think it’s called a brainstealer?). Maybe an alternative look could be some sort of spider-headed dragon. Like imagine a normal dragon with eight beady eyes and two scaled mandibles coming from the corners of its mouth. And maybe with eight legs too. I just think it’d look more unique and still be on brand with the whole ensnaring warlocks thing.

[@ThePa1riot]

I think you could easily swap out the octopi look for a spider. Another suggested a shark, which keeps the marine idea and would be a badass looking dragon.

[@nerdaccount]

These are so good. Thank you Pointy Hat!! (And your Familiar too!)

[@mickgilbo]

I would include the ability for the dragon to forcefully rescind it's granted power from a ward, and drain their life force back with the magic, giving a boost to the dragon (in either HP, or recharging their breath weapon instantly, or recharging one of their legendary resistances)

I like the classic nordic concept of dragonhood as a curse. If you are too greedy, wrathful or gluttonous you become a dragon, but how wold a envious, lustful, slothful or prideful dragon work?

[@spulp_lord]

Maybe they would try to spread such sins and have like an extra wisdom saving throw effect to the breath weapon that if failed induces the sin

[@marykateharmon]

Pride is easy. They view themselves as above everyone else and so take on a form that's as powerful as they view themselves to be then remain isolated from others because none others are worth their time unless they need them. Honestly, along with greed, I consider this sin a core archetypical sin of dragons. Lustful can also work in a similar way to gluttonous and be a main reason why they want princesses, though their lust-filled hunger may or may not have turned into more of a literal hunger. They certainly now would have the stamina for it. Slothful, well most dragons sleep then raid a village to eat then go back to sleeping. Someone so slothful that they only view others as bothers or resources in order to not need to do any work could then work as a dragon. Envious honestly is the hard one. Best way I could see it working would be envious of other dragons' hoards and powers and/or envious of kings' or other nobles' treasures and covets them for themselves, and so becomes a dragon in its desire. This dragon would likely be the most outgoing and active of them all because there would always be someone new to be envious of, someone more powerful or more wealthy or just with things they don't have but desire.

Here's where my mind went during this video. You could interact with members of the dragon cult that have different levels of Warlock each time you meet them (like the same character). Party helps them, they are significantly more powerful, party defeats them without killing them, they are level 1 or have no more powers. As you are battling the dragon, it returns it's power to itself, making it stronger but the cult members also in the battle are significantly weakened.

I want to see the artificer dragon Also spouting an idea, what about making the Druid and the Artificer dragon together, as destined enemies of sort for the whole nature vs progress angle

[@ThePa1riot]

I don’t want them to share a video as I feel like that would cut into one vs. the other, but I do think having the two of them mentioned as being at odds could be feasible. Hell, no reason you can’t run it that way in your own games even if it’s never mentioned.

[@davidecolucci6260]

@@ThePa1riot I can see the point, just for curiosity, If you were to ran a campaign with a conflict between the 2, would you have the players taking a side or have them gets caught in the crossfire having to deal with both?

[@ThePa1riot]

@@davidecolucci6260I feel like that’s kind of up to the players. Although it would be very interesting if there was a Druid AND an Artificer in the party.

[@adammcclelland5746]

I can’t wait to see how this series is gonna tackle artificers.

In Pathfinder first edition when fly was a stat that determined how well you maneuver in the air silver dragons were the best at flying specifically. Especially on cloudy days because they could choose to walk on clouds to change direction faster.

Thank you human familiar, your new haircut looks great! Thatwas an awesome video and an incredible new dragon! I'm so excited for all the game possibilities with an adventuring guild contract bound to it's patron dragon!

[@lucasandradelanes]

I wished they'd return with the hybrid chromatic dragons. Orange, purple, yellow dragons are all so cool conceptually and have so much potential lorewise

[@oddluck4216]

Love this! Fits perfectly with the flavor of the BBEG dragon of my primary campaign - a Legendary Black Dragon/demigod seeking more and more power (and followers) to attain godhood and usurp Tiamat's position.

[@blazeking1360]

This series has given me an idea for a campaign, that takes place on a continent where each country is lead by a0 warden dragon or something like that

[@billcipher3180]

fun-fact: silver dragons are reverse scalies(lizards who think humans and human-like creatures are sexy)

[@ryanbirchley6613]

The two Silver Dragon breath weapons - The damage one is a high velocity volley of ice shards. The paralysis one is a heavy low kelvin spray mist that snap freezes. Probably!

[@imaginaryguide1895]

I would love a Patron dragon whose power grows independently of itself, like a plant's roots will grow to fit its container. In that way, the larger the dragon's hoard, the more their power can grow collectively over time.

[@promatheus951]

Love this series, so far. Hope it does well enough to do at least a few more classes. Barbarian Dragon might be interesting.

I've always kinda played Dragons in a Warlocky way. For one thing, when sticking to the DMG optional spellcasting variant for dragons, it places no restrictions on how many spells of each level you should choose. So, to make adding lower level spells more fair, I just have it be that any spell they can cast is cast at the highest level of spell they can know. And, of course, there thematics of their spell choices help reflect their personalities and such. Chromatic Dragons, especially Reds, tend to have Absorb Elements as a nod to their alignment with Tiamat (which coincidentally happens to also match up fantastically with the Chromatic Dragonborn and Gift feat from Fizban's Treasury in more recent years). A Gold Dragons may have more Smite spells. Blue Dragons keep some buffs on hand to aid their Interns in doing the dirty work for them, but also dominating spells for some temporary interns. Copper tend more Bardic with communication utility. White Dragons focus on primal hunting, evading, and trapping utility with the few spells they get. ...And are the most in need to swap out to what would be most beneficial at each age milestone. A Young White might have Pass Without Trace to stay hidden out in a snowstorm (focusing on hit and run Breath Weapon attacks against herds/groups) or Hunter's Mark to chase down pray (relying more on their enhanced multiattack against one target at a time). An Adult may have Freedom of Movement from being obsessed with not being captured, or use Hunter's Mark to casually chase down a target for hours until they're Exhausted. While an Ancient might go for Bones of the Earth and make sure the tunnels leading into its lair are the perfect height to restrain intruders with, and corridor length perfect for ambushing them as they turn any given corner while laying in wait from any other corner, (or for dealing with situations where they get surrounded on multiple sides in a, for their size, cramped space; or can even double as a quick but brittle wall spell... honestly, Bones of the Earth gets slept on too often, especially for DM usage) alongside finally knowing a total of 2 spells so they can still focus on long-term utility with the other one.
