Barbarian Path
Path of the Dragon
Some barbarians are content with emulating the wild beasts of the land, enhancing their senses and heightening their natural skills. Those that follw the path of the dragon, however, attempt to be more like the greatest, most fercious beasts of all...dragons.

Dragon Blood
At third level, the Dragon Barbarian undergoes a special ritual, which involves consuming the blood of a true dragon. This ritual allows the blood to awaken in his veins, granting him the powers of a dragon.
Choose a Dragon type. While Raging, you gain the breath weapon of that dragon type, shown below:
- Black: Acid 5 by 30 ft. Line (Dex Save)
- Blue: Lightning 5 by 30 ft. Line (Dex Save)
- Brass: Fire 5 by 30 ft. Line (Dex Save)
- Bronze: Lightning 5 by 30 ft. Line (Dex Save)
- Copper: Acid 5 by 30 ft. Line (Dex Save)
- Gold: Fire 15 ft. Cone (Dex Save)
- Green: Poison 15 ft. Cone (Con Save)
- Red: Fire 15 ft. Cone (Dex Save)
- Silver: Cold 15 ft. Cone (Con Save)
- White: Cold 15 ft. Cone (Con Save)

The DC for your save is 8 + your con modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. This breath weapon deals 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much on a sucessful one; this damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. If you are a Dragonborn and your chosen dragon matches your Draconic ancestry, both the damage of your racial Breath weapon and this breath weapon increase by 1d6.
You may use this breath weapon once per rage.

Dragon Skin
At level 6, When you rage, you take on the apperance of a drgaon: you skin becomes covered in scales, you sprout horns, and you grow a (non-useable) Tail, and you gain a portion of the Dragon's immortal invulnerability. For the duration of your rage, you gain resistance to your chosen dragon's damage type, and you take 3 less damage from all slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage (magical or non-magical). If you are a dragonborn and your chosen dragon matches your Draconic ancestry, You instead gain immunity to that damage type.

Dagons Roar
At level 10, you learn to channel the legendary fear that all dragon's instill. As an action, choose one creature within 30 ft. that can see and hear you. That creature must make a Wis Save (DC 8 + Con Mod + Proficiency bonus) or be firghtened till the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you may use your action to extend the duration of this effect until the end of your next turn. This effect ends if the creature ends it's turn more than 60 ft. from you, or out of your line of sight.
A creature who sucessfully saves against this ability may not be affected again by it for 24 hours.

Dragon's Wings
At level 14, you reach the pinacle of dragonhood. You sprout a pair of wings from your back, granting you a fly speed equal to your normal movement speed.

Nice! I though about doing it as a Totem, but I decided to go for a full Path of it's own. I hadn't seen yours before though, well done.

Hmm, seems like a combo of Dragonborn(a race) and Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer(A class). Im not sure if I like it.
