Homebrew Drake Species Details

A lesser dragon race born from mysterious rituals from cults or through abnormalities, it is unknown how these beings came to be, it is once said they were given to certain cults from dragons or perhaps these beings were born from dragon eggs through strange circumstances. Regardless, these lesser dragons now exist and will continue to do so. Drakes are often proud and noble creatures while most can be quite aggressive. They can be quite wild and untamed but if one is hatched and raised, its easy to tame once they trust their owner. Once awakened however, they not only gain sentience but their own personality and more. They become their own person and will do what they please, perhaps they remain with those that raised them or leave, perhaps this occurred in the wild through a mysterious and magical phenomenon or perhaps the cult tried experimenting or a wizard did it. Perhaps it was the will of a dragonic being that had done it. For now it is a boon, what you do with this newfound sentience is up to you. 

Drake Traits

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.

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.
