One story holds that these eggs were blessed by the dragon gods [[Bahamut]] and [[Tiamat]], who wanted to populate the [[Multiverse]] with people created in their image. Another story claims that dragons created the first *dragonborn* without the gods' blessings. Whatever their origin, *dragonborn* have made homes for themselves on the [[Material Plane]]. > > *Dragonborn* look like wingless, bipedal dragons-scaly, bright-eyed, and thick-boned with horns on their heads-and their coloration and other features are reminiscent of their draconic ancestors." ## *Dragonborn* Traits [[Creature Type]]: [[Humanoid]] [[Size]]: Medium (about 5-7 feet tall) [[Speed]]: 30 feet As a *Dragonborn*, you have these special traits. **Draconic Ancestry.** Your lineage stems from a dragon progenitor. Choose the kind of dragon from the [[Dragonborn#Draconic Ancestors|Draconic Ancestors Table]]. Your choice affects your **Breath Weapon** and **Damage Resistance** traits as well as your appearance. #### Draconic Ancestors >[!danger | no-i no-t t-w] >| Dragon | Damage Type | | :------: | :-----------: | | [[Black Dragon]] | Acid | | [[Blue Dragon]] | Lightning | | [[Brass Dragon]] | Fire | | [[Bronze Dragon]] | Lightning | | [[Copper Dragon]] | Acid | | [[Gold Dragon]] | Fire | | [[Green Dragon]] | Poison | | [[Red Dragon]] | Fire | | [[Silver Dragon]] | Cold | | [[White Dragon]] | Cold | **Breath Weapon.** When you take the [[Action|Attack action]] on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in either a **15-foot** [[Area of Effect|Cone]] or a **30-foot** [[Area of Effect|Line]] that is 5 feet wide (choose the shape each time). Each creature in that area must make a [[Dexterity]] [[Saving Throw]] (DC 8 plus your [[Constitution]] [[Ability Modifier|modifier]] and [[Proficiency Bonus]]). On a failed save, a creature takes **1d10** damage of the type determined by your **Draconic Ancestry** trait. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage. This damage increases as shown by the table below: | Character Level | Damage | | :-------------: | :----: | | Level 5 | 2d10 | | Level 11 | 3d10 | | Level 17 | 4d10 | You can use this **Breath Weapon** a number of times equal to your [[Proficiency Bonus]], and you regain all expended uses when you finish a [[Long Rest]]. **Damage Resistance.** You have [[Resistance]] to the damage type determined by your **Draconic Ancestry** trait. **Darkvision.** You have [[Darkvision]] with a range of 60 feet. **Draconic Flight.** When you reach character level 5, you can channel draconic magic to give yourself temporary flight. As a [[Bonus Action]], you sprout spectral wings on your back that last for 10 minutes or until you retract the wings (no action required) or have the [[Incapacitated]] [[Conditions|Condition]]. During that time, you have a Fly [[Speed]] equal to your [[Speed]]. Your wings appear to be made of the same energy as your **Breath Weapon**. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a [[Long Rest]]. ## Images ![[Dragonborn-species.webp | center | 1024]] **Source:** > [!quote] Player's Handbook 2024 p. 187
