Dragonborn Species in Urban Arcana | World Anvil

Dragonborn

Shadow Kind

They are of the Shadow Realm. There are a few that have been born in the Mundane world to human parents believed to be from having dragon blood long dormant in the family that is now waking that there magic in the world again. Otherwise, it is unlikely that a dragonborn would be born in the Mundane world, but not impossible. There have been few dragonborn pulled through rifts which makes it unlikely for two to come together in the Mundane world. Due to their appearance, breeding with a human is improbable, but again not impossible.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.   The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragonborn clans. These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

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.  

Damage Resistance

You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.
