Dragonborn

Many dragons are not only fearsome beasts, but renowned masters of magic as well. As such, it is not uncommon for one to change shape and walk among the masses, or even take a mortal lover. The children of such unions are known as Dragonborn. Not quite as monstrous looking as other descendants of dragons ,but still very much recognizable due to their draconic traits.

BASIC INFORMATION

Anatomy

Dragonborns look very similar to their mortal parent except for their horns, retractable claws, and partial scales that cover their bodies. However, dragonborns are more known for their dangerous elemental breaths. A dragonborns color patterns are similar to their draconic ancestary, and in the case of two dragonborns having children, the child is often born in the color scheme of either parent. They are tall and strongly built, with males often standing close to six and a half feet and being taller and heavier than females.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Social Structure

Dragonborns live under the guidance of the Empress who rules over the Yokoshiri Dynasty. A civilized people, most dragonborns live and enjoy frugal lives although their society is extremely rigid and caste based. High ranking noble men and women hardly give lower status dragonborns a glance. They are very xenophobic and hardly interact with non dragonborns unless need be.

Draconic Ancestry

You have a dragon ancestory, granting you a special affinity. Choose one kind of dragon from the ancestry table. This determines the damage type for your other traits, as shown in the table.

Dragon	Damage Type	Breath Weapon
Red	Fire	15-foot cone
Green	Poison	15-foot cone
White	Cold	15-foot cone
Black	Acid	15-foot cone
Blue	Lightning	15-foot cone

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 take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your draconic ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your constitution modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Draconic Resistance

You have resistance to the damage type associated with your ancestry.

Natural Weapons

Thanks to your draconic ancestry you have developed retractable claws. Extending or retracting your claws requires no action. Your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
