Dragonborn

Born from the blood of dragons themselves, Dragonborn are rare heirs to draconic power whose scattered lineages preserve the majesty, diversity, and might of their ancient ancestors.

Culture & Society

The term “race” can only loosely be applied to those referred to as Dragonborn.  The Dragonborn are created through only two known methods; the mating of a shapeshifted dragon with a humanoid, or the mating between two Dragonborn. 

Due to the nature of their creation the Dragonborn generally lack of any type of structured society.  This means that there are very few large concentrations of Dragonborn in the realm.  Rather they are found scattered throughout the land either integrated with the local populace or found in small secluded villages.

The Dragonborn have an endless variety of frills and spikes that make each one look quite distinct, even to outsiders.  They also come in every color variation that full blooded dragons are found in.  The coupling of two Dragonborn may result in a truly unique offspring with coloring and traits of both parents.  At times a Dragonborn may be born with particularly draconic features such as a tail and/or wings.

Racial Traits

• Draconic Ancestry – You have draconic ancestry.  Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table.
• Breath Weapon – You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.  After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
• Damage Resistance – You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.
• Winged (optional) – You have a flying speed of 30 feet.
