Dragonborn are tall, powerful demihumans with scaled skin and dragon-like heads. They typically weigh about 250 pounds and stand around 6’ tall. As reptiles, they reproduce by laying eggs. Unlike true dragons, dragonborn do not have wings or tails. Dragonborn live in clans based on the colour of their scales (see Draconic Bloodline) and are known for their fierce loyalty and their love of hoarding gold. It is believed that dragonborn were created by the dragon gods.
Breath Weapon
Like dragons, dragonborn can exhale a breath weapon of destructive energy. The shape of the breath weapon and the type of damage it inflicts depend on the species of dragon that the character has an affinity with (see Draconic Bloodline).
Frequency of use: Up to 3 times per day.
Area: The size of the breath weapon depends on the shape:
▶ Cloud: 10’ wide, 15’ long.
▶ Cone: 15’ wide at the far end, 20’ long.
▶ Line: 5’ wide, 30’ long.
Damage: All caught in the area suffer damage equal to half the dragonborn’s current hit points (rounded up). A save versus breath is allowed for half damage.
Combat
Dragonborn can use all types of weapons and armour.
Draconic Bloodline
Each dragonborn has an affinity with a specific species of dragons. This determines their breath weapon and the colour of their scales. The player should roll on the table below to determine the character’s draconic affinity.
| Draconic Bloodline | Breath Weapon | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| d10 | Colour | Damage | Shape |
| 1–2 | Black | Acid | Line |
| 3–4 | Blue | Lightning | Line |
| 5–6 | Green | Poison | Cloud |
| 7–8 | Red | Fire | Cone |
| 9–10 | White | Cold | Cone |
Draconic Resistance
A dragonborn gains a +2 bonus to saving throws against the type of damage associated with their breath weapon.
Dragon-Affecting Magic
Dragonborn are affected by magic that specifically targets dragons (e.g. a sword +1, +3 vs dragons).
Dragon Affinity
Dragonborn gain a +1 bonus to reaction rolls when encountering dragons
Scales
A dragonborn’s scaly skin grants a natural +1 bonus to Armour Class.
After Reaching 9th Level
A dragonborn has the option of creating a stronghold that will attract dragonborn of the same clan from far and wide. Dragonborn from other clans will generally be friendly and clans may collaborate in times of war or disaster.
A dragonborn ruler may only hire dragonborn mercenaries. Specialists and retainers of any race may be hired.
