For boons from other gods or powers, see Boons
Dragons are creatures of great power, and have occasionally been known to bestow their inherent mystical energies onto other creatures via Draconic Boons (sometimes also called Dragonmarks).
About
Draconic boons often manifest on the inheritor in the form of a tattoo or other physical form, often referred to as a Dragonmark. Though the two terms are often interchanged, not all draconic boons leave dragonmarks.
Known Boons
Boon of the Inspiring Leader
Upon slaying The Green Stag, the heroes Vadath, Stan, Delphi, Ferris, and Miles Ison were granted the powers of Inspiring Leaders, pulled from the Green Stag's own impeccable leadership skills.
Boon of the Galadiir (Corundum Egg)
Upon making allies with Bleucorundum, a number of creatures have been recipient to a powerful boon that renders them invisible to specific targets. In the case of Durian, Grandmush, Violet, Trina, Arlin, Amber, and Zevendell, they were rendered invisible to Dragons (much like a Warforged's natural abilities) while later on, other heroes were rendered invisible to the cultists of Fallhorn City for an infiltration.
Boon of the Garden
Upon slaying the Black Dragon Thymor'ala, the slayers that were present absorbed some of her spellcasting energies, allowing them to then take on small feats of magical casting themselves, despite several of them otherwise being martial Barbarians.
Boon of Foresight
Upon slaying Bazzniagalvinica, the heroes known as Airavata, Asger, Rakim, Orifyire, Clank, and Nockdus all gained the ability to briefly see into the future, allowing them to strike with precision. (Mechanically it was advantage on all rolls for 1 round)
Boon of the Whispers
Upon slaying Tranquil the Terrible, the heroes known as Dancer of the Boreal Valley, Drang,Clank, and Thuchor earned the Fey Touched powers of the Jabberwock, giving them the power to teleport once per day, and cast Dissonent Whispers on creatures, driving them loony.
Boon of the Ruby Court Harbingers
This boon laid dormant inside an unactivated Topaz Astrolabe, which had come from the Ruby Court in the heavens above. When its latent activation happened inside a shrine in the Northern Snowy Mountains, it bestowed power to a group of normal heroes, granting them a draconic heritage and a formal title as "Harbinger". The heritages were as follows:
- Arlin, the heritage of Bahamut, transforming him into a Silver Dragonborn.
- Brakanar, the heritage of Eros the Crystal Dragon
- Spinel, the heritage of Bleucorundum the Sapphire Dragon
- Draennac, the heritage of Tuschello the Topaz Dragon
- Tristram Caniedydd, the heritage of Feredemius the Emerald Dragon
- Ona, the heritage of Venaleth the Amethyst Dragon
- Grandmush, the heritage of Kristang the Obsidian Dragon.
Power wide, besides the new dragonblood they now posessed, the creatures each gained a breath weapon and elemental resistance (much like a Dragonborn naturally would, without making them all dragonborns, just Arlin.)
Boon of the Elemental Water
Given by a nameless White dragon killed in the Northern Snowy Mountains:
You've been exposed to the primordial magic of the Elemental Plane of Water, granting you the following benefits:
- Elemental Magic. You learn the thaumaturgy cantrip, using Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as the spellcasting ability (choose when you select this feat).
- Wave Surge. You can use a bonus action to create a forceful surge of water directed at a creature within 15 feet of you that you can see. The target must make a Strength saving throw; the DC for this save is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + the spellcasting ability modifier chosen for this feat, and a creature can choose to fail this saving throw. On a failure, the target is pushed up to 10 feet away from you or pulled up to 10 feet toward you (your choice). The water vanishes immediately after the creature succeeds or fails. You can create this effect a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. (edited)
Boon of the Telepath
Given by the Emerald dragon Smargarg upon saving an Emerald dragon egg and delivering it to him:
- Grants telepathy with a range of 60 feet.
- Cast Detect thoughts requiring no spell slots or components 1/day.
