Homebrew Dragorc Species Details

Dragonborn Names

Dragorc names depend on their heritage and which clan they grew up with - they tend to have either Dragonborn or Orcish names.

Dragorc Traits

Your draconic heritage manifests in a variety of traits you share with other dragonborn.

Savage Attacks

When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength, Constitution, and Charisma scores all increase by 1.

Age

Dragorcs tend to reach adulthood by 15, and age at the same rate as orcs. They live to be around 80.

Alignment

Like their two counterparts, Dragorcs are known to choose extremes, making a conscious choice on whether to take the lawful, good approach or the chaotic, evil one. Like in most aspects of life, the gods that a Dragorc prays to, and subsequentially their alignment, is determined by their clan. However, it is noted that those without a clan are known to take a much more neutral approach, and may practice a form of atheism or agnosticism.

Menancing

You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Size

Dragorcs tend to mediate the size difference between dragonborn and orcs, standing at 6 to 7 feet tall and averaging around 270 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Draconic Ancestry

You have draconic ancestry. Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table.

Breath Weapon

Like the Dragonborn, 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 1d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 2d6 at 6th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a long rest.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and either Draconic or Orcish, depending on which clan you hail from.
