The goal for this subclass is that it feels distinctly different from the dragon sorcerer. There’s also dragon-specific invocations that allow the warlocks to further differentiate the abilities of chromatic and metallic dragons. The warlock also gains access to the fearful aspects of their patron’s Frightening Presence at both 6th and 14th level. The scales were originally part of the 10th level feature, but it proved to be far less meaningful by that level, and felt like it belonged earlier, during the character building process. While the 1st-level features are most useful at 1st-level for the armor provided by draconic scales, the breath weapon damage becomes more and more important as the warlock gains levels. This patron’s design is based partially on the Celestial patron and Genie patron for warlocks and the Draconic Ancestry origin for sorcerers, with some Dragonborn breath weapon as a spice. Even the most bestial of dragons might lend power to a warlock for the purpose of consolidating hunting territory or growing their treasure hoard. Dragons are ubiquitous across nearly every D&D universe, and many have long-term goals that require agents such as warlocks to do what simple kobolds cannot. With a name like Dungeons and Dragons, it’s no surprise that one of the most commonly desired warlock patrons is a spellcasting ancient dragon, such as a wise gold dragon or a cunning black dragon, lending its arcane power to a warlock just as a fiend, archfey, or genie might.
