User:Babosa/Extra Dragonborn types

This variant is to give the Dragonborn a lot more variation and not to represent already made homebrew dragons. Main differences are that there are is a chromatic Draconic Ancestry for nearly every damage type and the metallic Draconic Ancestries breath attack has an effect rather than dealing damage, instead of resistance to a damage type they have a feature related to their breath effect and there are a lot more metallic Draconic Ancestries.

Draconic Ancestry

The mechanics of this feature have not changed, But there are more options to take and if you take a metallic Draconic Ancestry it will change the breath weapon and damage resistance features. The list of options is at the end of the description.

Breath weapon

At character creation, you choose whether your breath attack affects creatures in a 5 x 30-foot line or a 15-foot cone. Then if you picked a chromatic Draconic Ancestry, breath weapon works the same as it does in the Players Handbook. For metallic Draconic Ancestry instead of damage, they cause an effect which creatures must make a save to avoid, normally succeeding the save means nothing happens, but some will specify an effect on failure. The effects are detailed in the list.

Damage Resistance

For Chromatic Draconic Ancestries, damage resistance is exactly the same as in the Players Handbook. For metallic Draconic Ancestries instead of resistance to a damage type they normally have advantage or immunity to their effect and sometimes they have features to complement the effect. The features are detailed in the list.
