This archetype uses the homebrew Demi-Dragon class
Embodiment of the
Protector
Some demi-dragons choose a path of protection. These demi-
dragons are often of a metallic or even an earthen hue. Those
that choose to embody protection become a stalwart shield to
their allies, emboldening themselves with the magical powers
of their foes.
Shelter the Brood
3rd-level Protector feature
Your wings grow thick plates of armor and your bones
strengthen. You can use your wings to protect yourself and
your allies. As a bonus action, you can spread your wings in
an area around you. Until the start of your next turn, you and
creatures of your choosing within 5 ft. of you are considered
to be behind half cover. This cover protects from danger from
all sides, except from below. If a creature moves within 5 ft. of
you while this ability is active, you can choose to extend the
bonus of this ability to them.
Strength of Steel
3rd-level Protector feature
Like true steel dragons, you are resistant to magic.
Whenever you are a target of any spell of 1st level or higher,
you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution
modifier (minimum 1) before the spell's effects are resolved.
Cover (PHB 196)
Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can
provide cover during combat, making a target more
difficult to harm. A target can benefit from cover
only when an attack or other effect originates on
the opposite side of the cover.
A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC
and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover
if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The
obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of
furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature,
whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.
Rapid Response
6th-level Protector feature
In battle, your watchful alertness is matched only by the
speed of your response . Whenever a creature that is granted
cover from your Shelter the Brood is attacked, you can make
a tail attack against the attacking creature as a reaction.
Vigorous Wings
10th-level Protector feature
The edges of your wings are bladed like those of a steel
dragon. You can use your wings as natural weapons, with
which you are proficient, to make melee weapon attacks.
When you attack with them, your wings shear an area dealing
1d4 + your Strength modifier slashing damage to each enemy
in a 10 ft. cone. Roll an attack separately for each target in
the cone.
Wings of Protection
17th-level Protector feature
You are a living avatar of protection to any who find
themselves under your watchful gaze. When a friendly
creature that you can see is the target of an attack, you can
use your reaction to move up to 30 ft. using your glide or
flying speed and resolve that attack with yourself as the
target. If the attack would still hit you, you reduce the damage
that you take by an amount equal to your Constitution +
Charisma modifiers. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of
once). You regain expended uses when you finish a short or
long rest.
