## Draconic Heritage (Draconic)
*You have a greater connection with your draconic bloodline than others of your kind.*
**Prerequisite:** Sorcerer level 1st
**Benefit:** You gain the dragonborn subtype.
Choose one kind of dragon from the list in the table below. This is your draconic heritage, which cannot later be changed unless you undergo the Rite of Draconic Affinity. Half-dragons must choose the same dragon kind as their dragon parent. When you declare your draconic heritage, you gain a bonus on saving throws against magic sleep and paralysis effects, as well as on saves against spells and abilities with a descriptor that matches the corresponding energy type. This bonus equals the number of draconic feats you have. In addition, you gain the corresponding skill as a sorcerer class skill.

The table above provides the benefits of the [[Draconic Heritage]] feat for all the kinds of true dragons. Many of the draconic bloodlines listed on the table don’t grant a bonus on saves against effects of a particular energy type. Instead, you gain a bonus on saves against spells and abilities associated with the effect (such as force or the Tarterian dragon) or subschool (such as compulsion for the chaos dragon) that matches the entry on the table, as well as the normal bonus provided by the feat against magic sleep and paralysis effects.
**Special:** A character who chooses yu lung as his draconic heritage can, when he selects another draconic feat, choose to change his draconic heritage to any other lung dragon (chiang lung, li lung, lung wang, pan lung, shen lung, t’ien lung, or tun mi lung). Once this choice is made, it can only be changed by undergoing the Rite of Draconic.
**Special:** With your DM's permission, you can choose a draconic heritage associated with a kind of dragon not found in the _Monster Manual._
