Breath Weapon: At first level, the Draconic Inheritor selects a breath weapon. At level 5, the breath weapon only damages enemies. At level 5 and 10, the Draconic Inheritor can select an additional type of Breath Weapon. The DC for this breath weapon is 15 + 1/2 Draconic Inheritor level + Charisma modifier. The damage of all breath weapons scales at the same rate as that granted by Dragon Disciple:
1-2: 3d10
3-6: 6d10
7-10: 8d10
10+: 8d10 + 1d10 per 2 level above 10
Voice of the Dragon: At level 2, the Draconic Inheritor gains a +2 bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy and Intimidate checks. This bonus increases by another +2 at 6th, and again at 10th level.
Draconic Senses: At level 4, the Inheritor gains the Lowlight Vision and Darkvision feats. At level 8, they gain Dragon Disciple's Blindsense (See Invisibility, Ultravision, spot/listen +10) ability.
Draconic Magic: Beginning at level 3, spell damage that shares a damage type with one of their breath weapons have their spell scaling increased by +0.2. This bonus increases to +0.3 at level 5, and +0.4 at level 7. (This does not stack with Archmage's spell scaling bonus)
Draconic Abilities: At level 8, the Inheritor gains +2 Constitution
Wings: At level 9, the Inheritor grows wings and becomes capable of flight. This can be replaced with another major draconic feature (tail or horns) and can be accompanied by a single minor feature (eyes, some scales, etc). If you choose so, replacing the wings removes access to flight. See a DM to receive the wings, which must be of a color fit for your 1st level breath weapon selection.
Draconic Immunities: At 10th level, the Inheritor's transformation is complete and they gains immunity to paralysis and magical sleep effects. In addition, they gain immunity to the elemental damage type associated with the dragon breath they chose at first level.
Bonus Feats: The epic draconic inheritor receives bonus epic feats at 13, 16, 20.
Epic Bonus Feats: automatic quicken spell, automatic silent spell, automatic still spell, epic energy resistance, epic spell focus, epic spell penetration, great charisma, improved combat casting
Draconic Inheritor cannot be taken on any race with a type change. ie. Half-Dragon, Fey, Tiefling, Half-Celestial, Lycanthropes, etc.
Tails and Horns:
A draconic inheritor may optionally request a tail or horns at draconic inheritor level 9 instead of wings.
Note that draconic inheritor with additional physical features are treated with the same reaction level as a half-dragon of the same type.
