Homebrew Dragon Tortle Species Details
Born of dragon tortles, as their name proclaims, these tortles walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by the gods or the dragon turtles themselves, legend has it that they originally hatched from dragon turtle eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragon turtles and humanoids.
Dragon Tortles exhibit the same range of coloration and patterns found among turtles, and many Dragon tortles enjoy adorning their shells in distinctive ways.
Dragon Tortle Traits
As a Dragon Tortle, you have the following racial traits.Age
Dragon Tortles start being able to walk early on at the age of three but they remain tiny for decades. They attain the size and development of a human adult by the time they are 100. They live to be around 400 and never stop growing in size till they die.
Creature Type
You are a Humanoid.
Size
Dragon Tortles are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.
Claws
You have claws that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Hold Breath
You can hold your breath for up to 1 hour.
Shell Defence
Your shell provides you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn’t affect this number). You can’t wear light, medium, or heavy armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield’s bonus as normal.
Steam Breath
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of scalding steam in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 fire damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
You can use your Steam Breath a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Posted Apr 4, 2024A mashup of the Lizardfolk, Tortle and Dragonborn to create this little fellah.
Using the Tortle as the default we've gained a swim speed, an increased lifespan and a breath weapon similar to a gold metallic dragonborns. However we have lost all usages of Shell Defense and the extra proficiency they get.The result is a strong race but likely in tier two or so.
