Here is an idea i had for a Dragon Pact for a warlock, still working out a few things with it but i thought i would see what others thought of it. I have other pact ideas (nature, death, and celestial) and other ideas for the monk(Dragonslayer and Giant) and fighter(Dragoon and Vanguard) as well, and even some race ideas(other Geenasi subraces and Averial Elf) and will possibly post them at some point if there is any intrest.

 

~~Draconic Pact: Your patron is a dragon or draconic entity that has used their power to empower you. This patron’s motivations for forming this pact may vary as wildly as the personalities of the dragons themselves. They may do it for greed, justice, or just to have a more capable servant to aid them. Some even do it to spread their influence or to benefit all draconic kind. Your patron could be an ancient dragon of any species, a dragolich, a draconic exarch, or maybe even some of the essence of IO.


Expanded spells:
 1st – Shield, Absorb Element
 2nd- Alter Self, Enlarge/Reduce
 3rd- Lightning Bolt, Fireball
 4th- Victrolic Sphere, Storm Sphere
 5th- Cone of Cold, Passwall


Dragon’s Blessing: At first level choose a dragon type (use the draconic ancestry chart). You gain resistance to your chosen damage type and a plus to your AC equal to ½ your charisma modifier (rounded down). Also you can now have the choice of making your eldritch blast spell (if taken) deal your dragon’s damage type instead of it dealing force damage.


Draconic Will: Starting at 4th level when you would take damage you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6+ ½ your warlock level. This feature is reusable after a short or long rest.


Draconic Presence: Starting at 10th level you gain immunity to fear and charm. When you would have been affected by one of these conditions you can use your reaction to cause all hostile creatures within 30 feet to roll a wisdom save against your spellcasting DC where failure result in the creature being frightened for 1 minute. At the end of each round those creatures that are affected can reroll their save to end this condition. This feature is regained after a short or long rest.


Dragon’s Breath: Starting at 14th level you can use your action to make a breath weapon attack. The damage type, area of effect, and save are determined by your chosen dragon type (All listed of the dragonborn’s draconic ancestry chart). Those that are in the area of effect must roll a save against your spellcasting DC or take the full 8d8 damage, success on this save results in only taking ½ damage. This feature is regained after a long rest.

You'll need to clarify Draconic Attacks. As it's written, it stacks with Agonizing Blast for Eldritch Blast. And that's adding your charisma modifier twice to Eldritch Blast, which is insane.

Eldritch blast is a spell not an attack from my understanding. But i see what you mean so i edited it.
