And here we have my very first subclass and the winner (by a narrow margin!) of my first poll, the Draconic Patron! You’ve managed to gain the favor of a powerful dragon, and here are its effects!
Unarmored defense got nerfed from its original, instead allowing for you to basically have Half Plate without the stealth disadvantages rather than a full unarmored defense like a monk or a barbarian.
The Eldritch Blast element changes was a last minute addition. Not too worth it until you get to level 14.
Frightening Afterimage isn’t super powerful but it does seem fun.
Unwavering Bravery, cause the only person you should be scared of at this point is your patron.
And Avatar of the Dragon got a lot of changes over time. It didn’t originally have immunity, but you did have an unarmed strike the dealt a decent amount of elemental damage that got scrapped since you’d still likely avoid melee. It at one point had an AC of 19 as well but that got changed. The last effect changed constantly, from dropping the charisma modifier to only doing half of the level. And the debuff once it ends was far more punishing as you gained exhaustion and couldn’t move for 3 turns mid combat.
I want to hear your thoughts though! Do you like the variants of the expanded spell list? What’s overpowered and what’s underpowered? What would you do differently?
