Fungal Dragonborn (5e Race Variant)
Dragonborn Variant[edit]
Fungal dragonborn are more slender than their surface-dwelling cousins, adapted to slinking through twilit caverns. The symbiotic relationship that these dragonborn share with their fungus is one that has unwittingly been passed down through the generations. Some fungal dragonborn spend their early years living and hunting alongside their kin in the Hunting Grounds, while some grow up above ground with no knowledge of their family line. Either way, they all naturally grow a fungus on their scales that conceals their scent, as well as altering their breath and vision.
This race variant replaces the ability score increase and damage resistance trait.
The fungal dragonborn race variant gains a new ability score increase, and the darkvision and spore cloud traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Spore Cloud. When you use your breath weapon, the area within a 5 foot radius of you becomes heavily obscured and you gain advantage on the first Dexterity (Stealth) check you make within the next minute.
