Alchemical Dragonblooded Traits

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

Ability Score Increase

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Darkvision

 You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Natural Armour

You gain a +1 bonus to AC from your thick scales. (UNARMOURED ONLY)

Age

Most alchemical dragon born have lived for 100s or even 1000s of years. The draconic powers granted to them by the transformation allow them to live lifespans similar to that of dragons, and for some even longer. The most ancient ones tend to communicate via images or emotions or with there thoughts correctly, as they grow to find speaking directly to be too slow, and not as quick to understand the points they wish to convey.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

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.
