Drakkic

Creatures born of the ancient draconic avarice that roam the space of Oclirim. Drakkic are humanoid mortals who are descendent of such dragons. The immense adaptability of dragons give possibility for the avarice to mate and produce offspring with the many entities that inhabit the universe. These offspring have strong resemblance to the draconic progenitors but as the drakkic lineage continues further from the original avarice they lose some of their draconic traits. Like the dragons of old, every drakkic continuously grows throughout their life until they die. Gaining in size and developing new traits and abilities as they age. Unlike the avarice however, the drakkic are still mortals and their bodies can only withstand so much. Despite the elongated draconic lifespan, the more traits a drakkic develops the greater the toll it takes on their body. Eventually leading towards organ failure as their bodies become unable to sustain their abilities. The many drakkic have been divided into subgroups based on how closely related they are to their avarice progenitor. These subgroups are called high-drakkic, (common) drakkic, and low-drakkic.
Drakkic, commonly called dragonborn or dragonkin (using the Dragonborn PHB race outline), are the most common subgroup that interact with civilizations and societies. These drakkic are humanoid and covered in scales resembling their avarice projenitor. These drakkic lack the tails and wings of their ancestors, but maintain other traits such as their elemental resistance and breath weapon. As well as their head shape, hands, and feet closely resemble that of dragons. They commonly stand ranging from 6 to 8 feet tall and averaging around 250 pounds. Drakkic typically live around 200 years of age before their bodies give out. Drakkic that reach this age hit their upper limits of around 9 feet tall and 350 pounds. Additionally their shoulder and tail bones begin to protrude in their last few decades of life as their bodies begin to develop wings and tails. Unfortunately they rarely if ever live long enough for their wings and tails to completely grow.
High-drakkic are more closely related to their avarice ancestors. They maintain the humanoid stature of common drakkic, but also have more draconic traits. High-drakkic commonly have tails or wings, if not both. High-drakkic are fully functional, enabling them to fly for short distances and with training for even longer. While their tails act as a focus for their elemental ancestry. As they age, high-drakkic sometimes unlock innate magical abilties. High-drakkics are the broadest of the drakkic subgroup. Some are distinguished from common drakkic only by the fact they have tails, while others by their wings. Some high-drakkics develop both and other abilities of their avaricious ancestors. Due to the wide range of high-drakkic, their lifespans vary immensely. High-drakkics rarely die naturally before the age of 500 years and some even rival the lifespans of elves reaching around 5000 years of age. They typically reach around 9 feet tall by adulthood but continuously grow, albeit more slowly as they age. Additionally, they on average weigh around 350-400 pounds when reaching adulthood.
Low-drakkics are the most abundant of drakkic kind. Their avarice ancestors are so distant they split in their own racial species. Over generations, drakkic lineages slowly split off into kobolds and goblinoids. Drakkic that stick to their own clans eventually become kobolds. Whereas those that interbreed with other species off-shoot into the various goblinoid races. Kobolds retain some of the traits of their drakkic ancestors, but to a much more limited degree. They continue physically growing as they age, but their lifespans average only around 90 years. As they age, kobolds sometimes develop the elemental abilities of their ancestors. They rarely live long enough to develop anything further than a breath weapon, but the strongest of kobolds have been known to manipulate some of their elemental ancestry. The goblinoid side of low-drakkic have all but lost the traits of their drakkic ancestors. That is save for their trait of hoarding, that only seems to have increased.

Draconic Ancestry

You have draconic ancestry. Choose a type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table in the D&D 5e Player's Handbook. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table.

Breath Weapon

    Whenever you take an attack action, you can use one of your attacks to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
    Whenever 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.
    You can only use your breath weapon once a turn, but can use it a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain any expended uses when you complete a short or long rest.

Damage Resistance

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

High-drakkic traits

As a high-drakkic you are generally a foot taller than common-drakkics. Additionally, they commonly live at minimum 500 years before age takes them, often living for much longer. High-drakkics have some or all of the following traits. Talk with your DM regarding which trait(s) your character may have.

Talons

You have talons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage instead of the bludgeoning damage for an unarmed strike.

Bite

Your sharp teeth are infused with the energy of your drakkic heritage. Whenever you take an attack action, you can use one of your attacks to bite a target. On a successful hit, you deal 1d4 piercing damage and 1d6 damage of a type corresponding to your draconic ancestry.

Flight

You have the wings of the dragons of old. Your powerful wings give you the abilitiy to fly, and your flying speed is equal to half of your walking speed. This flying speed increases to 1 * your walking speed at 5th level, 1.5 * your walking speed at 10th level, 2 * your walking speed at 15th level, and 2.5 * your walking speed at 20th level.

Tail

Your tail acts as a magical focus for the energy within your body. Any damage you take that you are resistant to due to your drakkic heritage is quartered instead of halved. Additionally, when you receive damage of the type of your ancestry, you heal 1 die roll of the type of dice that was used as damage.

Draconic Sorcery

Your drakkic ancestry has given you magical energy coursing throughout your body. As such you know a number of cantrips from the sorcerer spell list equal to your proficiency bonus. The amount of cantrips you know from this trait increases as your proficiency bonus does.

Damage Immunity

Your connection to the element of your drakkic ancestors is strong. You are immune to the damage type of your draconic ancestry.
