Each demi-dragon is different, with some drawing heavily Ritual Transformation

The exact details of the demi-dragon transformation are
unclear, but the nature of innate dragon magic hints at
multiple paths to the same result. Whether accomplished
through magical prowess, alchemy, zealous devotion, or by
bathing in dragon's blood, the transformation draws upon the
essence of a true dragon to instill a spark of magic within the
subject, forcing them to take on the physical characteristics
of a dragon. Though adopting the shape of a dragon during
the transformation, the subject is often brought only halfway
there, and can be left temporarily scaleless or wingless. Such
deficiencies tend to correct themselves over time—but once
transformed, there is no known way to reverse the
metamorphosis.
Spark of Magic
As part of their transformation, a spark of magic forms in the
heart of a demi-dragon—this is what allows them to mimic a
dragon's power and imitate their elemental breath weapons.
As a result of their unusual nature, demi-dragons develop
the ability to siphon magic out of their surroundings,
requiring an external source of magical energy to feed this
spark as a way to bring themselves closer to the inherent
nature of true dragons. The relative power of this spark is a
measure of the magical essence a demi-dragon has
accumulated.
Where true dragons are born into their natural splendor,
demi-dragons must toil, steal, and sacrifice for but a fraction
of that power.

Embodiment of the Fervent
Hoarder
Fervent Hoarders hold a singular desire in their heart, and
take up adventuring to sate it. Hoarders form a special bond
with an object that they covet, binding it tightly to the Weave
of magic as a focus for their own extraordinary power.
Though many Hoarders desire glittering gold, their magical
bond can take the form of any beloved object.
Heart of the Hoard

3rd-level Fervent Hoarder feature
The pride and joy of your hoard takes the form of a special
centerpiece item, which is imbued with your draconic magic
as a nascent focal point of your lair. During a short or long
rest, you can designate one item in your possession as your
hoard centerpiece. The item can benefit from any
enchantments that you have available via Absorb Magic as if
it were a part of you. While the item is in your possession,
you can use it to conjure temporary replicas of your hoard,
such as spectral swords or piles of coins. You can make
melee weapon attacks with these replicas, and they count as
a natural weapon for you. On a hit, you deal 2d6 bludgeoning,
piercing, or slashing damage (your choice), and you add your
Charisma modifier to the attack and damage rolls.
When you designate a centerpiece item, you can

Optional Class Features
This section offers additional features that you can gain as a
demi-dragon. Unlike your other class features, you don't gain
the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM,
you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you
meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description.
These features can be selected separately from one another;
you can use some, all, or none of them.
Transformed Power
When you first take a level in demi-dragon while already
having levels in another class, you may optionally convert
those levels to an equivalent amount of demi-dragon levels.
Indefinite Mind
As an option, choose Intelligence or Wisdom. The chosen
ability score is used in place of Charisma for Dragon Spark
and Dragon Scales, as well as every demi-dragon feature that
refers to Charisma (except for Force of Self).

the task remains undone, you have advantage on your next

you abandon the task or fail to complete it before 10 minutes
have passed, these benefits are lost.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long
rest before you can use it again. Starting at 18th level, you
gain advantage on all Wisdom saving throws until the task is
accomplished.

10th- and 20th-level demi-dragon feature
Your size increases to Large. At 20th level, your size
increases to Huge.
Note: A permanent size increase can be a significant

unclear, but the nature of innate dragon magic hints at

multiple paths to the same result. Whether accomplished

through magical prowess, alchemy, zealous devotion, or by

bathing in dragon's blood, the transformation draws upon the

essence of a true dragon to instill a spark of magic within the

subject, forcing them to take on the physical characteristics

of a dragon. Though adopting the shape of a dragon during

the transformation, the subject is often brought only halfway

there, and can be left temporarily scaleless or wingless. Such

deficiencies tend to correct themselves over time—but once

transformed, there is no known way to reverse the

heart of a demi-dragon—this is what allows them to mimic a

dragon's power and imitate their elemental breath weapons.

As a result of their unusual nature, demi-dragons develop

the ability to siphon magic out of their surroundings,

requiring an external source of magical energy to feed this

spark as a way to bring themselves closer to the inherent

nature of true dragons. The relative power of this spark is a
