Dragonborn
Created by knighterrant1663
Size: Medium · Languages: Common, Draconic Age: Adult ~14–17 · Lifespan ~70–110
Select a dragon colour as your bloodline (your abilities are based on your bloodline):
| Bloodline | Element |
|---|---|
| Black / Copper | Acid |
| Blue / Bronze | Lightning |
| Brass / Red / Gold | Fire |
| Green | Poison |
| Silver / White | Cold |
- Draconic Resistance: Edge on saves vs your bloodline element, and half damage from that element.
- Draconic Breath: A number of times per day equal to your PB, you may unleash a breath weapon:
- 15 ft cone or 30 ft line (chosen at level 1)
- 2d6 damage of your bloodline element
- DC 8 + PB + CON, save for half
Designer Note: Only the two iconic Dragonborn abilities are included—they’re already quite powerful, so additional traits would be too much. Draconic language is at Referee discretion; some campaigns may treat it as a secret or dead language.
Half-Orc
Created by knighterrant1663
Size: Medium · Languages: Common, Orc Age: Adult ~14–16 · Lifespan ~65–85
- Darkvision (30 ft).
- Fearsome Reputation: Edge on checks to intimidate others.
- Mighty Build: Treat Bulky items as 1 slot.
