Dragonborn (5e Race Variant)
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: This is just a straight up buffed dragonborn, with +4 ASI; there is no associated action for the Breath Weapon or a recharge, and the DC shouldn't be calculated like that
|
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength and Charisma scores each increase by 2.
Age. Dragonborns mature at 20, and live to be around 500.
Alignment. Dragonborns make a choice between good and evil, and lean towards lawful.
Size. Dragonborns stand between 6 and 8 feet, and weigh 250 to 350 Pounds. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 Feet.
Breath Weapon. Your Breath Weapon inflicts 2d6 damage and can be used once. At level 4, 10, 16, and 20, it will inflict an additional 1d6 damage, and can be used an additional time. If anyone in the range of the attack succeeds the saving throw (DC 10 + your Charisma modifier), they will only take half the damage. The damage type for your breath weapon is determined by your choice of dragon type from the table below.
Dragon Fear. Instead of using your Breath Weapon, you can roar, forcing creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 10 + your Charisma modifier). A target automatically succeeds the save if it can’t hear or see you. On a failed save, a target becomes frightened of you for 10 minutes.
Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic.
