Is there an official Half-Dragon race that I can purchase and use on DDB? I know there is a half-dragon in the MM, but there doesn't seem to be a playable half-dragon race. Am I missing something or looking in the wrong place?
Also, if there is no official half-dragon race, if I went Variant Human Sorceress, with Draconic bloodline, would that work and if so, what feat would you recommend for a Half Silver Dragon/Half Human?
I don't think there is an official half-dragon race (Dragonborn would be closest). You'd probably have to look into homebrew.
Draconic Sorceress could work. They get a form of natural armour that can present as scales which would fit the appearance however you wish. It would restrict you to at least one level of Sorcerer though so if you wanted the character to be another class it could get in the way and slow progression.
As for feat that would depend on your character's backstory and/or combat style. I don't think any would be excluded just from being a silver dragon/human.
It's not necessarily the best feat to take at level 1 (when resistant foes are less likely), but if you are going all in on silver dragon cold focus then Elemental Adept will be a good feat in the long run.
Mechanically, half-dragons would be pretty much the same as dragonborn (except the 10 ft blindsight which is OP for level 1 character to have). Only their appearance (tails and horns) and lifespan (roughly double their non-dragon parent's lifespan) would be different.

Hi Everyone,
Is there an official Half-Dragon race that I can purchase and use on DDB? I know there is a half-dragon in the MM, but there doesn't seem to be a playable half-dragon race. Am I missing something or looking in the wrong place?
Also, if there is no official half-dragon race, if I went Variant Human Sorceress, with Draconic bloodline, would that work and if so, what feat would you recommend for a Half Silver Dragon/Half Human?
Thanks

Could you not homebrew a sub-race for either Human or Dragonborn?
