Dragonborn Variant

The common sentiment in the D&D community seems to be that the dragonborn race is underpowered compared to other races presented in the System Reference Document. The traits presented here are meant to give the dragonborn a small boost to bring the race to a closer power level to the other core races.

The dragonborn gains the following traits in addition to the traits presented in the SRD:

Darkvision. Your draconic ancestry has granted you superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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.

Additionally, the Breath Weapon trait is a bonus action, instead of an action.
