==Description==
==Description==
Dragon Disciples within Avlis have formed a close bond of some kind with a dragon. This bond causes the dragon to grant some of their essence to this person. That essence causes the power of the dragon to manifest in the form of draconic abilities, power, and appearance.
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''': [[NWN:Lore|Lore]] 8, [[NWN:Spellcraft|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/.


The connection between disciple and dragon can take on a myriad of forms.
You can also contact the team via Discord via the team-assistance channel: https://discord.gg/sh6SB8WkCv.


For some, it means the dragon sees the adventurer as less than expendable. Others may see the disciple as a cherished friend, a family member, a fellow follower of a god, a well trained assassin, a vassal for their hoard/clutch. The important piece is that the adventurer has shown themselves to be valuable to the dragon to warrant this essence, granting the adventurer some of the dragon’s power.
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.)


This is part of the very core of the dragon’s being manifested through dragon magic. Them giving it to an adventurer is not a small nor hastily done thing.
==== 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.


Receipt of some of the dragon’s essence means that the adventurer is someone that is important to the dragon in some way. This matter of importance can take on many forms as detailed above.
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.


==Requirements==
==== What Can I Expect For The Relationship With My PC's Dragon Ally Post Unlock? ====
'''Alignment''': Your character's alignment '''must match''' the alignment of the dragon who is giving your character some of their essence.
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.


'''Skills''': [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Lore Lore] 8, [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Spellcraft Spellcraft] 5
The exact nature of the relationship with the dragon patron varies depending on the dragon.


'''DM Unlock''': Work with event DMs to, through roleplay, gain a dragon's essence to become a Dragon Disciple.
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.


== Types Of Dragon Disciple ==
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.

'''Changelings'''

* You can use the Changeling menu to set your form to what it was prior to gaining wings/a tail on level up/login if desired.
* If you are in a form that does not have a wing slot (e.g. an animal that does not display wings) and wings would be gained, then the wings will not visually display.
* From an in-character perspective, you can treat this as the changeling form being able to adjust for the wings but the dragon essence doesn't go away, so they'll end up returning at some point.

For example, if someone has only ever met 1 human dragon disciple with red wings and that dragon disciple was talking about a specific Bauxite dragon, and then the PC goes and meets an elf with the same looking wings talking about that same Bauxite, the PC might end up making the connection that the human and elf could be the same person.

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.

Avlis Changes From Default Red Dragon Disciple

Static Hit Die

  • Unlike standard Red Dragon Disciple the Avlis Dragon Disciple does not gain a hit die increase while levelling. Instead, the Avlis Dragon Disciple has a static hit die of d10.

Breath Weapon

  • The breath weapon gained at level 3 depends on the type of dragon that grants your character its essence.

Wings

  • The wings gained at level 9 depends on the type of dragon that grants your character its essence.
  • Available Wing Colors:
    • Brass (Brass Dragon)
    • Bronze (Bronze Dragon)
    • Copper (Copper Dragon)
    • Silver (Silver Dragon)
    • Gold (Gold Dragon)
    • White (Marble Dragon)
    • Black (Coal Dragon)
    • Green (Olivine Dragon)
    • Blue (Azurite Dragon)
    • Red (Bauxite Dragon)
  • Available Wing Types:
    • Dragon
    • Demon

Tails

  • If your character already has wings (e.g., they are an Avariel, have a roleplay reward, etc.) then they will instead be given tail corresponding to the dragon color.

Immunity

  • The immunity type gained at level 10 depends on the type of dragon that grants your character its essence.

Changelings

  • On level up and on login, if your character meets the requirements for wings but does not currently have them set then they will be set on your PC. This means that if you are in a form that lacks wings and go through either of these steps you will gain wings.
  • If you are in a form that has wings (e.g. your Changeling looks like an Avariel) they will instead gain a tail.
  • You can use the Changeling menu to set your form to what it was prior to gaining wings/a tail on level up/login if desired.
  • If you are in a form that does not have a wing slot (e.g. an animal that does not display wings) and wings would be gained, then the wings will not visually display.
  • From an in-character perspective, you can treat this as the changeling form being able to adjust for the wings but the dragon essence doesn't go away, so they'll end up returning at some point.

Are The Wings Recognizable?

  • They are similar to other unique visual features of a PC. For example, if someone has only ever met 1 human dragon disciple with red wings and that dragon disciple was talking about a specific Bauxite dragon, and then the PC goes and meets an elf with the same looking wings talking about that same Bauxite, the PC might end up making the connection that the human and elf could be the same person.

Notes

  • All Avlis Dragon Disciples gain immunity to paralysis and sleep at level 10.
