DRACONIC

DRAGONWARD
Greater; 6th
Using this invocation makes you resistant to the attacks
and special abilities of dragons for 24 hours. You gain the
following benefits, which apply against any creature of the
dragon type or the dragonblood subtype (see page 4):
• Immunity to frightful presence.
• Damage reduction 5/— against natural weapons (this
stacks with similar damage reduction you might already
have, such as from barbarian levels).
• Resistance 20 against any acid, cold, electricity, fire, or
sonic damage dealt by a breath weapon.
DREAD SEIZURE
Lesser; 4th
You speak a word that sends wracking pain through the
limbs of a single target creature within 60 feet. Though these
seizures are not powerful enough to immobilize the creature,
they do reduce all of its speeds by 1/2 (round fractions up
to the nearest 5-foot increment). The target also takes a –5
penalty on attacks made against creatures more than 5 feet
away from it (or against creatures outside its own space, for
creatures with a natural reach of 0 feet). This effect lasts for
3 rounds; a successful Fortitude save negates the effect.
ELDRITCH GLAIVE
Least; 2nd; Blast Shape
Your eldritch blast takes on physical substance, appearing
similar to a glaive. As a full-round action, you can make a
single melee touch attack as if wielding a reach weapon. If you
hit, your target is affected as if struck by your eldritch blast
(including any eldritch essence applied to the blast). Unlike
hideous blow (Complete Arcane 134), you cannot combine your
eldritch glaive with damage from a held weapon.
Furthermore, until the start of your next turn, you also
threaten nearby squares as if wielding a reach weapon, and
you can make attacks of opportunity with your eldritch glaive.
These are melee touch attacks.
If your base attack bonus is +6 or higher, you can (as part
of the full-round action) make as many attacks with your
eldritch glaive as your base attack bonus allows. For example, a
12th-level warlock could attack twice, once with a base attack
bonus of +6, and again with a base attack bonus of +1.
ELDRITCH LINE
Greater; 5th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows you to invoke your
eldritch blast as a 60-foot line. An eldritch line deals the normal
eldritch blast damage to all targets within the area. This is not a
ray attack, so it requires no ranged touch attack. Any creature
in the line can attempt a Reflex save for half damage.
IGNORE THE PYRE
Lesser; 4th
When you use this invocation, you gain remarkable resilience
to any one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or
sonic). For 24 hours, you gain resistance equal to your invocation
caster level against the energy type of your choice. If
you use this invocation a second time before the duration of
the first expires, the new resistance and duration replace the
old one.
IMPENETRABLE BARRIER
Dark; 7th
You can conjure a wall of force as the spell (PH 298) with
this invocation. The wall is black and blocks sight of all kind.
You can only have one impenetrable barrier in effect at a time.
If you use the invocation a second time before the duration
of the first expires, the previous wall disappears. If your
barrier is destroyed (such as by a rod of cancellation, a sphere of
annihilation, a disintegrate spell, or a Mordenkainen’s disjunction
spell), you take 1d10 points of damage.
PENETRATING BLAST
Greater; 6th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a penetrating blast. A penetrating blast gains a
+4 bonus on caster level checks made to penetrate a target’s
spell resistance. A creature affected by a penetrating blast must
succeed on a Will save or have its spell resistance lowered
by 5 for 1 minute. Multiple uses of this essence don’t stack;
instead, the new duration replaces the old one.
WEIGHTY UTTERANCE
Lesser; 4th
You speak a word of the Dark Speech (Book of Vile Darkness
47), causing one flying creature to be forced downward
suddenly. You can affect a single target creature within 60
feet. The target must make a Will save or fall 5 feet per caster
level. A creature that is forced to the ground as a result of this
invocation takes 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet traveled
and cannot fly again for 1 round.
DRACONIC SOULMELDS
The soul energy of dragonkind burns more brightly than
in perhaps any other kind of creature. Historically, even
the most skilled meldshapers (see Magic of Incarnum) have
found themselves incapable of channeling pure draconic
soul energy. A rare few characters, though, tap into their own
draconic heritage to shape incarnum composed entirely of
the souls of dragonkind.
These new draconic soulmelds are intended for use by
meldshapers who seek to access the powers of dragons or
expect to face draconic enemies. They follow the normal
