Posted May 28, 2019I feel like for the Thunderous Voice trait, you could up the size of the cone at certain levels too. That is just my thinking though

Posted Sep 14, 2019That's my opinion too, looks good at first, but there are a number of parts that need to be toned back in my opinion.

Posted Nov 26, 2019I have to agree with this, like the Thunder and Fire damage idea. Perhaps keep it Thunder damage, or change it to force damage. But no fire damage as it doesn't honestly have anything to do with that. And for the Metal Hide, either lower the base AC for it a tiny bit. And perhaps not give it a multi-attack feature, but do give them the ability to choose to use their weapon, or the tail, bite or claw attack instead.

Posted Dec 9, 2019I like it, but I feel that it needs fewer ability score bonuses and maybe less damage resistances.

Posted Dec 28, 2019This subrace is just too much. Too many stat bonuses, too strong innate ability attacks, too much natural AC, too many resistances. Plus a number of typos and misspellings throughout the descriptions.
I'd take a look at the existing races and bring the racial features down to be more in line with what a race normally gives.

Posted Apr 17, 2020I really like the idea you had and I don't even mind the extra stat bonus. However there are a few issues I did not fully agree with.
1) Dragonborn do not have tails.
2) Dragonborn are resistant only to their ancestral breath weapon type. Which brings me to...
3) To my knowledge, only one dragon has ever been known to have a sonic breath weapon ( Bahamut), so wouldn't that make this a Platinum Dragonborn?

Posted Jul 15, 2020Please fix your there/their errors. If it relates to something belonging to them it's "Their' There refers to a place. Think here or there, where 'there' is just 'here' with a t on it.
