Dragonborn

The descendants of dragons who chose to live among the elves they had made, and of the elves who did not refuse them. The first Dragonborn were called abominations and driven to the wildlands for it. The name stuck; so did the grudge.

Features

  • Draconic Ancestry

    Choose a dragon line. Your breath weapon and your resistance both follow from it, and you gain resistance to that line's damage type.

  • Breath Weapon

    As an action you exhale destructive energy in a 15-foot cone or a 30-foot line, your choice each time. Each creature in the area makes a saving throw against DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus, taking 2d6 damage of your line's type on a failure and half on a success. The damage rises to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th, and 5d6 at 16th. You regain the use on a short or long rest.

  • Scaled Hide

    While you wear no armor your Armor Class is 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

  • Long Memory of Exile

    You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Dragonborn recognise each other's lines on sight, whatever the intervening centuries have done.
