# PF 1e - Dragonborn #### Physical Description: Dragonborn are tall, well-built, scaly humanoids, and they come in as wide a variety of colors as true dragons do. #### Society: Dragonborn society is rigid and hierarchical, with an emphasis on both respecting their draconic heritage and conveying to outsiders the difference between these humanoids and their mighty progenitors. Groups of dragonborn will often form clans, especially with those of similar color. #### Relations: Dragonborn tend to get along best with other races that prioritize tradition and honor, like dwarves. They generally interact well with anyone willing to adopt their culture. #### Alignment and Religion: For most dragonborn, integrity is one of their most important virtues; the race as a whole tends to place a lot of value on oaths and promises, so many dragonborn end up lawful. However, just like their draconic ancestors, dragonborn come in all alignments. #### Adventurers: Many younger dragonborn choose to travel the world in order to bring honor to their clan, striving to become individuals of great worth and carry out impressive deeds for their families.
