Dragonborn

Also called Half-Dragons. Dragonborn are not natural creations, as it is impossible for a dragon to produce offspring with any other species than its own. Dragonborn are instead the creation of magic and wizards. Some dragonborn families can trace their lineage all the way back to a single, living dragon, held in high respect amongst the Admer Empire, others can trace their line back to a mad wizard, who, obtaining a dragon scale, either by force or otherwise, imbued the scale with ample amounts of magic, which sometimes produces a Dragonborn.

Breath Weapon

You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
