Draconic Aura (Su): You can channel the mighty powers of dragon-kind to project an aura that grants you and nearby allies a special benefit. Projecting an aura is a swift action (see page 4), and you can only project one draconic aura at a time. An aura remains in
effect until you use a free action to dismiss it or you activate another aura in its place. You can have a draconic aura active continually; thus, an aura can be in effect at the start of an encounter even before you take your first turn. Unless otherwise noted, your draconic aura affects all allies within 30 feet (including yourself) with line of effect
to you. Your aura is dismissed if you become unconscious or are slain, but otherwise it remains in effect even if you are incapable of acting.
The bonus granted by your aura begins at +1 and increases to +2 at 5th level, +3 at 10th level, +4 at 15th level, and +5 at 20th level. As a 1st-level dragon shaman, you know how to project three auras chosen from the list below. At every odd numbered level after that, you learn one additional draconic aura of your choice. Each time you activate a draconic aura, you can choose from any of the auras that you know.
Draconic Arcana: +1 to caster level checks and concentration checks per plus.
Draconic Bravery: +2 on Saving Throws vs. fear.
Draconic Celerity: +5 feet of speed per plus.

Draconic Vision: 20 feet of darkvision per plus.
Draconic Toughness (Ex): Dragon shamans are extremely tough, just like the dragons they revere. You add your Charisma bonus to your Constitution bonus when rolling hit points when rolling dragon shaman hit dice.
Totem Dragon: You must choose a totem dragon from among the true dragons appearing in the Bestiary (black, blue, brass, bronze, copper, gold, green, red, silver, or white). You must choose a dragon whose alignment is within one step of yours, as described in the following table. You gain additional class skills and a particular sort of breath weapon based on the dragon you select as your totem.
Black NE, CE, CN, Disable Device, Line of acid
Blue NE, LE, LN, Escape Artist, Line of electricity
Brass NG, CG, CN, Disable Device, Line of fire
Bronze NG, LG, LN, Disguise, Line of electricity
Copper NG, CG, CN, Acrobatics, Line of acid
Gold NG, LG, LN, Disguise, Cone of fire
Green NE, LE, LN, Climb, Cone of acid
Red NE, CE, CN, Acrobatics, Cone of fire
Silver NG, LG, LN, Acrobatics, Cone of cold
White CE, CN, NE, Escape Artist, Cone of cold
Bonus Feats. At levels 2, 8, and 16, you may select a bonus feat. The bonus feat must be a breath weapon feat, a draconic aura feat, or Skill Focus in the skill associated with your totem dragon.
Draconic Adaptation (Ex or Sp): At 3rd level, you take on an aspect of your totem dragon. Some adaptations are extraordinary abilities that are always active; others are spell-like abilities that you can activate at will. Spell-like abilities have a caster level equal to your class level and a save DC equal to 10 + spell level + Cha modifier.
Black—Water Breathing (Ex): You can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use spells and other abilities underwater (always active).
Blue—Ventriloquism (Sp): As the spell (at will).
Brass—Endure Elements (Sp): As the spell, except you can only target yourself (at will).
Bronze—Water Breathing (Ex): You can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use spells and other abilities underwater (always active).
Copper—Spider Climb (Sp): As the spell, except you can only target yourself (at will).
Gold—Water Breathing (Ex): You can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use spells and other abilities underwater (always active).
Green—Water Breathing (Ex): You can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use spells and other abilities underwater (always active).
Red—Treasure Seeker (Ex): You gain a +5 competence bonus on Appraise and Search checks (always active).
Silver—Feather Fall (Sp): As the spell, except you can only target yourself (at will).
White—Icewalker (Ex): You can walk across icy surfaces without reducing your speed or making Balance checks (always active).
At 13th level, you can choose as a swift action (see page 4) to share the effect of your draconic adaptation with any or all allies within 30 feet. In the case of spell-like abilities, you must make this decision when you activate the ability. The benefit lasts until you spend a free action to rescind it or (if the effect has a limited duration) the effect ends, whichever comes first.
Breath Weapon (Su): At 4th level, you gain a breath weapon corresponding to your totem dragon. Regardless of the area one affects or the type of energy damage it deals, all breath weapons deal 2d6 points of damage, plus an extra 1d6 points of damage for every two additional class levels (3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 8th level, and so forth). A successful Reflex save halves the damage dealt; the save DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 your dragon shaman level + your Con modifier. Just like a true dragon, once you breathe you must wait 1d4 rounds before you can use your breath weapon again. Cone-shaped breath weapons extend out to 15 feet at 4th level, increasing to 30 feet at 12th level and to 60 feet at 20th level. Line-shaped breath weapons are 30 feet long at 4th level, increasing to 60 feet at 12th level and to 120 feet at 20th level.
Draconic Resolve (Ex): At 4th level, you gain immunity to paralysis and sleep effects. You also become immune to the frightful presence of dragons.
Touch of Vitality (Su): At 6th level, you can heal the wounds of living creatures (your own or those of others) by touch. Each day you can heal a number of points of damage equal to twice your class level × your Charisma bonus. For example, a 7th-level dragon shaman with a Charisma score of 14 (+2 bonus) can heal 28 points of damage. You can choose to divide your healing among multiple recipients, and you don’t have to use it all at once. Using your touch of vitality is a standard action. It has no effect on undead.
Beginning at 11th level, you can choose to spend some of the healing bestowed by your touch of vitality to remove other harmful conditions affecting the target.
For every 5 points of your healing ability you expend, you can cure 1 point of ability damage or remove the dazed, fatigued, or sickened condition from one individual.
For every 10 points of your healing ability you expend, you can remove the exhausted, nauseated, poisoned, or stunned condition from one individual.
For every 20 points of your healing ability you expend, you can remove a negative level or the blinded, deafened, or diseased condition from one individual.
You can remove a condition (or more than one condition) and heal damage with the same touch, so long as you expend the required number of points. For example, if you wanted to heal 12 points of damage and remove the blinded and exhausted conditions from a target, you would have to expend 42 points (12 hit points restored plus 20 points for blinded plus 10 points for exhausted).
Natural Armor (Ex): At 7th level, your skin thickens, developing faint scales. Your natural armor bonus improves by 1. At 12th level, this improvement increases to +2, and at 17th level to +3.
Energy Immunity (Ex): At 9th level, you gain immunity to the energy type of the breath weapon you gained at 4th level.
Commune with Dragon Spirit (Sp): At 14th level, you gain the ability to contact your dragon totem directly to ask questions of it. This is the equivalent of casting a commune spell, except that it has no material component, focus, or XP cost and allows only one question per three class levels. After using this ability, you cannot use it again for seven days.
Draconic Wings (Ex): At 19th level, you grow a pair of wings that resemble those of your totem dragon. They allow flight at a speed of 60 feet (good maneuverability). You can even fly while carrying a medium load, though your fly speed drops to 40 feet in this case. If you already have wings, you can choose whether these draconic wings replace your own.
CLINGING BREATH
[METABREATH]
Your breath weapon clings to creatures and continues to affect them in the round after you breathe.
Prerequisites: Con 13, breath weapon.
Benefit: Your breath weapon has its normal effect, but also clings to anything caught in its area. A clinging breath weapon lasts for 1 round. In the round after you breathe, the clinging breath weapon deals half of the damage it dealt in the previous round. Creatures
that avoid damage from the breath weapon (such as creatures with the evasion special quality or incorporeal creatures) do not take the extra damage. For example, an old silver dragon uses its cold breath and deals 72 points of cold damage (or 36 points against a target that makes its save). In the following round, foes that failed their saves against the
breath weapon initially take an additional
ENLARGE BREATH [METABREATH]
Your breath weapon is larger than normal.
Prerequisites: Con 13, breath weapon.
Benefit: The length of your breath weapon increases by 50% (round down to the nearest multiple of 5). For example, an old silver dragon breathing an enlarged cone of cold produces a 75-foot cone instead of a 50-foot cone. Cone-shaped breath weapons get wider when they get longer, but line shaped breath weapons do not. When you use this feat, add +1 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
EXTEND SPREADING BREATH [METABREATH]
You can convert your breath weapon into a spread effect that can be used at range.
Prerequisites: Con 15, breath weapon, Shape Breath, Spreading Breath, size Small or larger.
Benefit: You can modify your breath weapon so that it fills a spread centered anywhere within a short distance of your head. The range and size of the spread depends on your
size, as shown below.
Dragon Size Spread Radius Spread Range
Small 10 ft. 40 ft.
Medium 15 ft. 60 ft.
Large 20 ft. 80 ft.
Huge 25 ft. 100 ft.
Gargantuan 30 ft. 120 ft.
Colossal 35 ft. 140 ft.
HEIGHTEN BREATH [METABREATH]
Your breath weapon is even more deadly than normal.
Prerequisites: Con 13, breath weapon.
Benefit: You can increase the save DC of your breath weapon by any number up to a maximum equal to your Constitution bonus. For each point by which you increase the save DC, add +1 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
LINGERING BREATH [METABREATH]
Your breath weapon forms a lingering cloud.
Prerequisites: Con 15, breath weapon, Clinging Breath.
Benefit: Your breath weapon has its normal effects, but also remains as a lingering cloud of the same shape and size as the original breath weapon. This cloud lasts 1 round. Foes caught in the breath weapon’s area when you breathe take no additional damage from the lingering breath weapon, provided they leave the cloud by the shortest available route on their next turn. Otherwise, anyone who touches or enters the cloud while it lasts takes one-half of the breath weapon’s normal effects; any saving throw the breath weapon normally allows still applies. Damaging breath weapons deal one-half their normal damage, and breath weapons with effects that have durations last for half the normal time. If a creature is affected by the same non-damaging breath weapon twice, the effects do not stack.
For example, an old silver dragon uses this feat on its cold breath weapon. Creatures caught in the 50-foot cone take 16d8 points of cold damage, and a DC 31 Reflex save
reduces the damage by half. The 50-foot cone lingers for 1 round. While the cone lasts, anyone touching or entering it takes 8d8 points of cold damage, and a DC 31 Reflex
save reduces the cold damage to 4d8 points. Creatures in the cone when the dragon breathed take no additional damage if they leave by the shortest available route on
their next turn. If the same dragon uses this feat on its paralyzing breath weapon, a creature caught in the 50-foot cone must make a DC 31 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d6+8 rounds. The 50-foot cone lingers for 1 round. While the cone lasts, anyone touching or entering it must make a DC 31 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d3+4 rounds. Creatures in the cone when the dragon breathed take no additional damage if they leave by the shortest available route on their next turn. Creatures paralyzed by the initial breath cannot leave the cloud, but suffer no additional effects because the paralyzing
effects do not stack.
When you use this feat, add +2 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
Special: You can apply this feat more than once to the same breath weapon. Each time you do, the lingering breath lasts an additional round. You can apply this feat to a breath weapon that also has received the Clinging Breath feat, but the resulting breath clings only to foes caught in the initial breath.
MAXIMIZE BREATH [METABREATH]
You can take a full-round action to use your breath weapon to maximum effect.
Prerequisites: Con 17, breath weapon.
Benefit: If you use your breath weapon as a full-round action, all variable, numeric effects of the attack are maximized. A maximized breath weapon deals maximum damage, lasts for the maximum time, or the like. For example, an old silver dragon using a maximized cold breath weapon (damage 16d8) deals 128 points of damage. An old silver dragon using a maximized paralysis gas breath weapon (duration 1d6+8 rounds) paralyzes creatures for 14 rounds if they fail their saving throws. The DCs for saving throws against
your breath weapon are not affected. When you use this feat, add +3 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again. This feat stacks with the effects of breath weapons enhanced with other metabreath feats, but does not maximize
them. For example, a maximized breath weapon further enhanced by the Tempest Breath feat produces the type of wind effect noted in that feat description, but the velocity of the wind is not also maximized.
Special: You cannot use this feat and the Quicken Breath feat on the same breath weapon at the same time.
QUICKEN BREATH [METABREATH]
You can loose your breath weapon with but a thought.
Prerequisites: Con 19, breath weapon.
Benefit: Using your breath weapon is a free action. When you use this feat, add +4 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
Special: You cannot use this feat and the Maximize Breath feat on the same weapon at the same time.
RECOVER BREATH [METABREATH]
You wait less time before being able to use your breath weapon again.
Prerequisites: Con 17, breath weapon.
Benefit: You reduce the interval between uses of your breath weapon. You wait 1 round less than usual before breathing again, but always at least 1 round. The feat stacks with the effects of metabreath feats, reducing the total time you must wait to use your breath weapon again by 1 round.
Special: If you have multiple heads with breath weapons, all breath weapons use the reduced interval.
SHAPE BREATH [METABREATH]
You can make the area of your breath weapon a cone or a line, as you see fit.
Prerequisites: Con 13, breath weapon, size Small or larger.
Benefit: If you have a line-shaped breath weapon, you can opt to shape it into a cone. Likewise, if you have a cone-shaped breath weapon, you can shape it into a line. When you use this feat, add +1 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
Normal: Without this feat, the shape of your breath weapon is fixed.
SPREADING BREATH [METABREATH]
You can convert your breath weapon into a spread effect.
Prerequisites: Con 15, breath weapon, Shape Breath, size Small or larger.
Benefit: You can modify your breath weapon so that it fills a spread centered on your head instead of taking its normal shape. The radius of the spread depends on your
size, as shown below.
Creature Size Spread Radius
Small 10 ft.
Medium 15 ft.
Large 20 ft.
Huge 25 ft.
Gargantuan 30 ft.
Colossal 35 ft.
When you use this feat, add +2 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
SPLIT BREATH [METABREATH]
You can split your breath weapon into a pair of weaker effects.
Prerequisites: Con 13, breath weapon, Shape Breath, size Small or larger.
Benefit: Your breath weapon retains its size and shape, but splits into two areas that you aim separately. Each portion deals half the damage the breath weapon normally deals or lasts half as long as the effect normally lasts.
For example, an old silver dragon that uses this feat on its cold breath weapon produces two 50-foot cones of cold that deal 8d8 points of cold damage each. If the same dragon used this feat on its paralyzing gas breath weapon, it would produce two cones of gas, each of which could paralyze a creature for 1d3+4 rounds.
You can aim the split breath effects so that their areas overlap. Creatures caught in the area of overlap are struck by both weapons and are affected twice, subject to all the normal rules for stacking magical effects.
TEMPEST BREATH [METABREATH]
You can make your breath weapon strike with the force of a windstorm.
Prerequisites: Str 13, breath weapon, Power Attack, size Large or larger.
Benefit: When you use your breath weapon, in addition to its normal effects, creatures in the area are affected as through struck by wind effects. The force of the wind depends on your size, as indicated below. For the effects of high winds, see Table 3–24 on page 95 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
Dragon Size Wind Force
Large Severe
Huge Windstorm
Gargantuan Hurricane
Colossal Tornado
Because your breath weapon has an instantaneous duration, creatures ignore the checked effect unless they are airborne (in which case they are blown back 1d6×5 feet).
When you use this feat, add +1 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.

Just wanted to say, very impressed. Its a big wall of text and I don't have time to review it in depth yet but it looks very good.
I wonder if you could crunch the numbers on how much HP a Dragon Shaman is likely to have at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20 assuming a 20 point buy with decent con and charisma? Thanks
Dude, I love it, although I wish there could be a good substitute for the bonus feats...
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but this is just what I was looking for.
I would definitely prefer the Dragon Shaman to gain the Paladin's Lay on Hands/Mercies feature... since the 3.5 version was twice as good as the 3.5 Paladin.
Otherwise, this is great.
