Dragonborn Wyrmblood


Unlike your lesser draconian kin, you are truly born of dragons, and therefore have more of their power. A Wyrmblood can be distinguished by their gleaming scales, prevalent horns and long, winding tails. Many Wyrmbloods have a fine eye for weaponry and often are seen at the forefront of draconic conflicts.

Alignment. Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil (represented by Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). Most dragonborn are good, but those who side with Tiamat can be terrible villains.

Breath Weapon. You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your dragon ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 1d6 damage per breath weapon charge expended when you use this ability.

You have a number of breath weapon charges equal to twice your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended breath weapon charges upon finishing a long rest.

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

Dragon Warrior. Being a race of warriors makes you trained and prepared for combat. You gain proficiency with four martial or simple weapons of your choice. In addition, you take half the time to doff or don armour you have proficiency with.

Dragon Knowledge. Your ancestry has given you an insight into certain areas. When you make an Investigation, Nature, or Survival check related to or while you are in a type of area determined by your dragon ancestry, you have advantage on that check.
