When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the
area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the
type of which is determined by your draconian subrace.
The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitu-

DIFERENT MAGIC SOURCES

To adapt the standard D&D 5th edition magic to the

Dragonlance setting, you can establish five magic
sources:

Magic from the gods: spellcasters who cast spells from

the gods and belongs to one of the Holy Orders of the
Stars faction are clerics. Those who worship all, some
or one of the nature gods (Habbakuk, Chislev and
Zeboim) and don´t belong to the Holy Orders of the
Stars are druids.

Magic of the world: spellcasters who cast spells from

the pure essence of Krynn are sorcerers.

Moon Magic: spellcasters who cast spells from the

moons are wizards. Before passing the Wizards of
High Sorcery Test they extract magic energy from all
the moons and after passing the Test they chose one
moon to serve.

Pact magic: spellcasters who cast spells from a pact

with a superior entity are warlocks. Normally, they
belong to the Order of the Thorn of the Knights of

Neraka, and they used to pact with Takhisis. Now, with
the dark goddess dead, who knows what dark and
Monsters
mysterious entities they made a pact with? Draconians

Magic from the heart: mystics are clerics who do not

worship any deity. The process of harnessing their
magic is one of inner awareness and self-discovery.
