Homebrew Dräken Species Details

Born With Dragon Magic

Some great dragons affect the region around them so much that many children in the womb are altered by their magic and take on characteristics of whichever dragon was near. Sometimes these regional effects linger for decades, even after a dragon is no longer present. Random dragon-like mutations can appear in children. In some cases it's clear a cihld is affected when they are born with easily identifiable eyes, horns or skin that are similar to dragons. Some children do not show any variance  from their own race until they mature into adulthood. The effects are not limited to certain races; any within the affected area could be mutated by the dragon's regional magic.

 

Dräken Traits

The dragon's magical traits will manifest in numerous ways. No two Dräkens are alike. Some show very little physical change, while others are incredibly exotic even demonstrating amazing dragon-like abilities.

Age

A dräken can start to enter adulthood faster than a normal human, elf, orc, etc - typically a year or two faster, as the magic that builds within begins to manifest at an increasing rate. Most live 50 percent longer than what is usual for their base race.

Size

Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 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.

Draconic Ancestry
Dragon Damage Type Breath Weapon
Black Acid 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Blue Lightning 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Brass Fire 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Bronze Lightning 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Copper Acid 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Gold Fire 15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
Green Poison 15 ft. cone (Con. save)
Red Fire 15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
Silver Cold 15 ft. cone (Con. save)
White Cold 15 ft. cone (Con. save)

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.

Dräken Mutations

At 1st level, roll 1d4 to see how many mutations a dräken has. Re-roll duplicate mutations. To determine which mutation chart to use, roll a d4 for every mutation you have(if you have 3 mutations roll 1d4 for each to tell you what chart level to roll on) for each and make as many percentile rolls (1-100).

1-50 Use the Level 1 Chart

51-85 use the Level 2 Chart

86-94 use the Level 3 Chart

95-100 use the Level 4 Chart
