Draconic Heritage in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Draconic Heritage [Heritage]

Source: Elaris Unbroken

Somewhere within your ancestry flows the blood of dragons. Choose one of the following types of dragons. This is your draconic heritage. If you have a draconic heritage from another feature, such as the Draconic Bloodline or from being a Dragonborn, you must choose the same dragon heritage. You gain Resistance to the corresponding damage type, and you learn the corresponding cantrip or 1st-order power. If the cantrip or power does not deal the associated damage type normally, it deals it when you learn it from this feat.
