As a bonus action, the priest can expend a spell slot to cause its melee weapon attacks to magically deal an extra 10 (3d6) radiant damage to a target on a hit. This benefit lasts until the end of the turn. If the priest expends a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each level above 1st.

Spellcasting. The dragon is a 5th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following cleric spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): light, sacred flame, thaumaturgy
1st level (4 slots): cure wounds, guiding bolt, sanctuary
2nd level (3 slots): lesser restoration, spiritual weapon
3rd level (2 slots): dispel magic, spirit guardians

Actions

Mace. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6).

The dragon exhales fire in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Half-Dragon

A half-dragon is a hybrid that bears the qualities and characteristics of a particular variety of true dragon. Such draconic hybrids can be found with a humanoid, beast, giant, or even monstrosity lineage.

Mysterious Origins. How half-dragons have come to exist is a matter of some debate. Some assert they are the result of a mystical ritual involving the blood of a true dragon or were transfigured through some ancient magic lost to our mages. It is also possible that they are the offspring of a dragon morphed into another form and finding a mate. In any case, half-dragons strongly express the appearance and qualities of their heritage.

Extended Life. Dragons live centuries, with many being known to successive generations of humans in their territory. Half-dragons receive a portion of this blessing, growing old at half the rate of their non-draconic relatives. Half-dragon humans have reached well past one and a half centuries in lifespan.

Elemental Breath. Just as true dragons do, many half-dragons possess the ability to unleash a breath weapon. The nature and potency of this weapon typically mirror that of their draconic parent.

Draconic Qualities. Half-dragons tend to possess the personal qualities associated with their draconic nature. All tend to be inclined toward a self-assured over-confidence and are easily bedazzled by material wealth. Beyond this, they seem to vary by type. A half-copper dragon is likely playful and mischievous and a half-black dragon might have a characteristic disdain and contempt for others.
