The dragonblood invoker calls upon the power inherent in his draconic bloodline to brute force magical effects. He’s less reliant on his dragon patron, and gains fewer boons in exchange.

Class Skills (4 + Int modifier per level): Arcane Lore, Athletics, Intimidate, Perception, Persuasion, and Profession A dragon speaker gains additional class skills based on his dragon patron (see below).
Class Features
A Dragonblood Invoker does not gain the Draconic Arcana, Breath Weapon, Dragonblood Inheritance, Dragonpact, Commune With Dragon Patron, and Extended Breath Range class features.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A Dragonblood Invoker gains no proficiency with any type of weapon, armor, or shield.
Eldritch Arcana
A dragonblood invoker’s caster level for all of his class features is equal to his class level.
The save DC for any of the dragonblood invoker’s supernatural or spell-like abilities is equal to 10 + 1/2 his class level + his Cha modifier, unless otherwise stated.
A dragonblood invoker cannot activate draconic feats which require spellcasting the way a standard dragon speaker can.
Draconic Aura
You learn new draconic auras slower than normal and learn fewer overall. This ability otherwise functions as normal for a dragon speaker.
Eldritch Dragonfire
At 2nd level, a dragonblood invoker gains eldritch dragonfire as a bonus invocation known. For purposes of determining save DC and interacting with other effects, the invocation level of eldritch dragonfire is equal to the highest level invocation you can cast.
Draconic auras which normally affect your breath weapon instead affect your eldritch dragonfire invocation.
A dragonblood invoker cannot learn or cast the eldritch blast invocation but can use eldritch dragonfire for abilities and invocations which normally use eldritch blast and may affect his eldritch dragonfire with invocations and abilities as though it were eldritch blast.
Invocations
A dragonblood invoker casts invocations which are drawn from the dragonblood invoker invocation list.
At 4th level, you gain one 1st-level dragonblood invoker invocation of your choice. When you gain certain dragonblood invoker levels, you gain additional invocations of your choice and can select higher level invocations, as shown on Table: The Dragonblood Invoker.
To learn or cast an invocation, you must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the invocation level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your dragonblood invoker invocations is 10 + the invocation level + your Charisma modifier.
Upon reaching 8th level, and at every even-numbered dragonblood invoker level after that (10th, 12th, and so on), you can choose to learn a new invocation in place of one you already know. In effect, you “lose” the old invocation in exchange for the new one. The new invocation’s level must be no more than one level higher than that of the invocation being exchanged, and it must be at least one level lower than the highest-level dragonblood invoker invocation you can cast. You may swap only a single invocation at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the invocation at the same time that you gain new invocations known for the level.
Mystic Arcanum
At 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, you unlock an esoteric ability called a mystic arcanum. These abilities may be used at will, unless specified otherwise. These are selected from the list of warlock mystic arcanum.
List of Warlock Mystic Arcanum
Reshape Dragonfire
At 9th level, you can modify your eldritch dragonfire invocation, changing its area to a 60-foot line.
This ability replaces Extended Breath Range.
Dragonblood Invoker and Prestige Classes
Unlike a standard dragon speaker, a dragonblood invoker gains no benefit from classes that advance arcane spellcasting. Classes which progress invoking give their normal benefits to a dragonblood invoker and also grants new auras known.
