Homebrew Draconic Drow Species Details
Born of a Drow mother, these dragonborn look more like their Drow ancestors but still retain areas of scales and their skin is thicker than a normal Drow. Being raised in Drow society makes these dragonborn more likely to be evil regardless of draconic heritage, although those with a good dragon for a father usually feel some kind of pull towards neutral or good alignments. These dragonborn still generally understand draconic, though usually haven't had enough contact with the language to learn to speak or write it.

You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.

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.
