Homebrew Dragontouched Species Details
After the Dragonborn freed themselves from the clutches of the dragons that forced them into labor, said dragons figured that they’d try again, but not in the same way they did before. They took people from other races, and infused them with a hint of their draconic power, changing their physical characteristics based on what the dragon wanted them to do. Some had one of their arms grow into the shape and size of a dragon’s, gaining immense strength, others saw their legs change to a dragon’s and gain a tail, becoming extremely fast and agile, yet others saw the skin on their torso or forearms turn to scales, becoming just as impenetrable as a dragon’s hide, and still yet others saw horns sprout from their head and their eyes become slit, gaining some draconic magics in the process. After years of combat, the dragontouched, as they were now called, just like the Dragonborn, freed themselves from their oppressive rulers.
Centuries have passed since then, and now the dragontouched have integrated into the communities of many other races. Since they were oppressed, despite that era of time being so long ago, they value freedom and the needs of the individual above all else, unlike the Dragonborn. Interestingly, however, that doesn’t mean the two races are at odds. In fact, there are some dragontouched who have been able to join Dragonborn clans. However, many dragontouched become dragon hunters, as in their culture, killing a dragon proves that the dragons were wrong for thinking that the dragontouched were lesser than them. These kinds of dragontouched have also become great at working with draconic materials, as another aspect of dragontouched culture is to wear the trophies of battle on their person. Some go into governmental work, pushing forward changes that they feel is needed. There are others, though, that take the path of the adventurer, claiming the freedom of the open road and any treasure or fame that comes their way.
