I know it's not lore important but I have this thing about building "functional" parties. I'm working on a story about all of my characters as a team on an adventure and I'm removing most of the homebrew from my characters. Ny dragonborn is a class called a dragonshifter where he turns into a dragon, from dragonling to ancient up to level 20. The rest of his party are a goblin warlock, human paladin/sorc/fighter, shadar kai monk/rouge, and a tiefling sorc/warlock. What's a good class to even out their team with the dragonborn? Mostly it's either keep him or convert him to a sea elf or simic hybrid pirate.
He could change to druid and you could say all those dragon transformations were akin to Wild Shaping. And you can use lore to explain why their powers have suddenly changed to regular druid ones, like maybe the dragon they drew their powers from got killed, or some random BS like that

Looks like they could use a cleric, druid, or Wizard.
You could go with moon druid and beg your DM for wyrmling and drake wild shapes and maybe young dragon and wyvern wild shapes instead of elementals.
