You become a Medium chromatic or metallic dragon. This effect is similar to polymorph, but you retain your own hit points, ability scores, and saving throws, with a temporary +2 bonus to your Strength and Constitution as long as you remain in dragon form. You sprout wings that allow you to fly 40 feet and you gain darkvision 60 feet. While in dragon form, you gain Armor Class 17 (natural armor) and the following attack actions. You are proficient with your bite and claw attacks.

  • Multiattack. You can make three attacks, one with your bite and two with your claws.
  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d10 piercing damage, plus your Strength modifier, plus an additional 1d6 damage of the same type as your breath weapon.
  • Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 slashing damage, plus your Strength modifier.
  • Breath Weapon. You gain a breath weapon appropriate to your dragon type, as well as resistance to that damage type (and you may gain vulnerability to a damage type, as indicated below). You can use your breath weapon only once during the spell’s duration. It deals 27 (6d8) damage, with a Dexterity saving throw allowed for half damage.
