Mother’s Talon

There are few mother’s talons in the world, as an existing talon must decide to take a new fledgling talon on as an apprentice and must have heard the aspiring apprentice’s name whispered to them by the Mother of Dragons in their dreams. The Mother’s Talons exist to further the mother’s goals and revenge schemes in the world, as the Mother of Dragons’ displeasure with what the war between gods and titans has wrought on the world. She uses her Talons to thwart the machinations and schemes of god and titanspawn alike in the world.

Proficiencies

• Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A mother’s talon is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor, and with shields.

Breath Weapon

At 1st level, a talon of Tiamat gains the ability to breathe out a cone of fire 30 feet wide and 30 feet long that deals 3d6 points of cold damage. As the talon gains levels, additional versions of the breath weapon become available, and the damage of all breath weapons increases. At 3rd level, the talon can breathe a cone of acid and the damage increases to 5d6 damage. At 5th level, he can breathe a cone of lightning and the damage increases to 7d6. At 7th level, he can breathe a cone of thunder and the damage increases to 9d6. At 9th level, he can breathe a cone of fire and the damage increases to 11d6. In each case, a successful Reflex save halves the damage dealt. The DC for saves against the talon’s breath weapon is equal to 8 + charisma modifier + talon’s proficiency bonus. A mother’s talon can use his breath weapon a number of times equal to his proficiency modifier. All uses are regained after a short or long rest. Once a talon uses his breath weapons, he cannot use it again until 1d4 rounds have passed.

Strength of the Mother

Also at 1st level, a mother’s talon gains proficiency in either Strength or Constitution saving throws, as the player chooses. If the player already has both, he may choose charisma instead. If he has all three, he gains no benefit from this.

Spellcasting

When an even-numbered mother’s talon level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class.

He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained.

Voice of the Mother

At 2nd level, a talon always has advantage on Intimidate and Persuasion checks. At 3rd level the talon gains expertise in intimidate or persuade. At 4th level he gains expertise in whichever skill he does not already have it in.

Eyes of the Mother

At 3rd level a talon gains darkvision at 3rd level, he gains darkvision 30 feet. If he already has darkvision, his darkvision improves by 30 feet. At 5th level, he gains blindsense out to 10 feet.

Mother’s Protection

At 5th level, a gains immunity to magic sleep and paralysis effects. In addition, he gains immunity to one of the following forms of energy, at his option: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. Once an energy immunity is selected, the decision cannot be undone.
