Homebrew Dragonkocra v2 Species Details

Proud Dragon Kin /Beak and Feather

Dragonkocra look very much like the Mixing of their parents standing erect in humanoid form, they have usually feathered wings and facial feathers the rest of their body covered with the scales of their ancestors some have been spotted with thin tails others even with feathered arms their feathers typically blend with their scale coloring.  They range from medium to tall and are generally on the avian side for bone structure, often standing from 5½ to 7½ feet tall and weighing 120-250 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some Dragonkocra. These Dragonkocra can boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.
Their wings are generally not as strong as their Aarakocra parents and the weight of their scales slows their flight, while able to enjoy flight they cannot reach the heights their parent could

Self-Sufficient/ Avian Mannerisms

To any Dragonkocra, the family is more important than life itself. Dragonkocra owe their devotion and respect to their family above all else, even the gods. Each Dragonkocra’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her family. 
A continual drive for self-improvement Dragonkocra value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. A Dragonkocra holds mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal. 

Though all dragonborn strive to be self-sufficient, they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is the clan, and when a clan needs help, it turns to another dragonborn clan before seeking aid from other races—or even from the gods.

The resemblance of Dragonkocra to birds is more limited to mannerisms of ordinary birds. They are fastidious about their plumage, frequently tending their feathers, cleaning and scratching away any tiny passengers they might have picked up. When they deign to descend from the sky, they often do so near pools where they can catch fish and bathe themselves.

Many Dragonkocra punctuate their speech with chirps, sounds they use to convey emphasis and to shade meaning, much as a human might through facial expressions and gestures. A Dragonkocra might become frustrated with people who fail to pick up on the nuances; a Dragonkocra’s threat might be taken as a jest and vice versa.

The idea of ownership baffles most Dragonkocra. After all, who owns the sky? Even when explained to them, they initially find the notion of ownership mystifying. As a result, Dragonkocra who have little interaction with other people might be a nuisance as they drop from the sky to snatch livestock or plunder harvests for fruits and grains. Shiny, glittering objects catch their eyes.

They find it hard not to pluck the treasure and bring it back to their settlement to beautify it. A Dragonkocra who spends years among other races can learn to inhibit these impulses.

Confinement terrifies the Dragonkocra. To be grounded, trapped underground, or imprisoned by the cold, unyielding earth is a torment few Dragonkocra can withstand. Even when perched on a high branch or at rest in their mountaintop homes, they appear alert, with eyes moving and bodies ready to take flight.

Breath Weapon

You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Damage Resistance

You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
