Description

Dragon Disciples of Avlis have formed a close bond with a dragon, and thereby gained some of the dragon's essence. This manifests in the form of draconic abilities, powers, and changes in appearance. The nature of the connection between any given Disciple and their sponsor dragon can vary, with the Disciple being viewed as a dear friend, a powerful vassal, or trusted agent.


Requirements

Alignment: Your character's alignment must match the alignment of the dragon who is giving your character some of their essence.

Skills: Lore 8, Spellcraft 5

How To Unlock The Class: Message The Event DM Team

In order to unlock the class you will need to contact the team to start the in-character roleplay to find/meet/form a connection with a dragon NPC that matches your PC's alignment.

To contact the team send a private message to the Event DM team via the forums at https://www.avlis.org/.

You can also contact the team via Discord via the team-assistance channel: https://discord.gg/sh6SB8WkCv.

From there, your PC will come in contact with a dragon of the type that matches (discussed with the Event team) and about 3 or so in-game sessions will occur (potentially with tasks requested by the dragon but this is not definitive) before the unlock happens. These in-game sessions will revolve around your PC getting to know the dragon and connecting with them in some way and the dragon granting their essence to your PC (unlocking the class.)

Will I Work With A Specific Event DM For My Unlock?

A specific event DM will reach out to work with you on the in-game sessions for your unlock (you can certainly ask for an Event DM in particular if you'd like, or not.) The event DM team will keep track of unlocks that are pending and their status and will look to match an event DM with your time zone/play time that allows for things to progress smoothly.

If, for whatever reason, a DM is unable to complete your unlock then it will be communicated and another event DM will take over the unlock.

What Can I Expect For The Relationship With My PC's Dragon Ally Post Unlock?

The relationship between your PC and the dragon they ally with and become a Disciple for is somewhat analogous to the Warlock class in D&D. The relationship depends on your PC, the dragon, and their personalities and connection.

The exact nature of the relationship with the dragon patron varies depending on the dragon.

You or your dragon may wish to continue your connection, your PC may wish to do tasks for your dragon, or in general keep in contact.

It's not required to keep in contact, but it's possible if you as a player want to and ICly it's desired. The NPC is a contact that could be relevant to your PC in the future, could be pulled in for future plots, etc.

The connection with your dragon continues so long as you think it's fun to continue it, just like any NPC connection a PC has.
