📋 About This Mod
HELLO EVERYONE, I AM FULLY BACK!
To celebrate my return to the BG3 modding scene, I have created an expansion of the Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer. Have you ever wanted to play as a sorcerer who had gotten their powers from a dragon that you liked in 4th edition or earlier but there wasn't any options for you, or simple wanted to inherit traits from a dragon you liked that is in 5th edition but wizards say no? Well look no further! With the Draconic Bloodline Expanded you now have more options for your draconic bloodline than ever before!
This mod features many new dragons to get your bloodline from including Metallic, Chromatic, Gem, Ferrous and more. The lists below will show you what can be chosen from!
5th Edition:
Shadow Dragon: You get the spell Arms Of Hadar and Necrotic is your element.
Dracolich Dragon: You get the spell Hex and Poison is your element.
Hallow Dragon: You get the spell Sanctuary and Radiant is your element.
Deep Dragon: You get the spell Dissonant Whispers and Psychic is your element.
Moonstone Dragon: You get the spell Faerie Fire and Radiant is your element.
Solar Dragon: You get the spell Searing Smite and Fire is your element.
Lunar Dragon: You get the spell Ice Knife and Cold is your element.
Amethyst Dragon: You get the spell Magic Missile and Force is your element.
Crystal Dragon: You get the spell Charm Person and Radiant is your element.
Emerald Dragon: You get the spell Entangle and Psychic is your element.

Topaz Dragon: You get the spell Inflict Wounds and Necrotic is your element.
New Metallics:

Orange Dragon: You get the spell Hellish Rebuke and Fire is your element.
Adds a large set of new Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer origins inspired by dragons from 5th edition, Gem, Ferrous, and older D&D lore. Each option grants a specific 1st-level spell and damage type, such as Shadow Dragon (Arms of Hadar, Necrotic) or Amethyst Dragon (Magic Missile, Force). For BG3 Sorcerer fans wanting more thematic variety beyond vanilla choices. 121 endorsements, updated August 2026.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Over 165,000 downloads — a lot of players are using this expansion.
- 121 endorsements show the community digs the added variety.
- Each dragon feels distinct with a unique spell and element, so you can build around your favorite damage type.
⚠️ Cons
- No install instructions provided in the description — you'll need to know how to install BG3 mods already.
- The description is a dense list of dragons with spells; comparing them at a glance is difficult without opening the linked document.
- Some bloodlines share damage types (multiple Radiant, Necrotic, etc.), so elemental variety isn't fully balanced across all options.
For BG3 Sorcerer players who want more thematic draconic ancestry options beyond the standard chromatic/metallic. Fans of older D&D editions, gem dragons, and ferrous dragons will appreciate the deep lore pull. Skip if you're happy with vanilla bloodlines or prefer completely new subclasses rather than expansions.
