Dragonborn are proud, honor-bound draconic humanoids.
Lore[]
Born to fight, dragonborn are a race of wandering mercenaries, soldiers and adventurers. Long ago their empire contended for worldwide dominion, but now only a few rootless clans of these honourable warriors remain to pass on their legends of ancient glory.
Play a dragonborn if you want...
- to look like a dragon!
- to be the proud heir of an ancient, fallen empire.
- to breath acid, cold, flame, lightning, or poison.
- to be a member of a race that favors the warlord, fighter and paladin classes.
Physical Qualities[]
Dragonborn resemble humanoid dragons. They are covered in scaly hide, but they don't have tails. They are tall and strongly built. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb at each hand. A dragonborn's head features a blunt snout, a strong brow, and distinctive frills at the cheek and ear. Their eyes are shades of red or gold.
A typical dragonborn's scales can be scarlet, gold, rust, ocher, bronze, or brown. Rarely do an individual's scales match the hue of a chromatic or metallic dragon, and scale colour gives no indication of the type of breathe weapon a dragonborn uses.
Young dragonborn grow faster than human children do. They walk hours after hatching, reach the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3 and reach adulthood at 15. They live about as long as humans do.
