Homebrew DragonLived Species Details

 

 

Unlike their sister race, DragonLived kept their tails and wings. This is due to dragonlived not being born from dragons, but reincarnations of them.

Reborn Anew

DragonLived were not born from dragons. Instead, many years ago, there were dragons whom of which wished not to ever die. Due to this, they ask a dark god to give them immortal life. The god, being an evil one, decided to torture them for their greediness. He made it so that instead of eternal life, they would instead be reborn as DragonLived, thus the name. Said god made it so that whenever one of these dragons died, they would be born as Dragonlived, but instead of their memories being in these new bodies, the dragons would eternally watch as someone else lived out their new lives, and when these people died, they would live a happy afterlife whilst the greedy dragons of old had to watch as yet another lived out their lives as Dragonlived. 

Much like Dragonborn, the blood of the greedy dragons runs through the Dragonlived. Most even have their exact scale patterns and colors ,bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, and bronze,  just to torture the greedy dragons, forced to watch these lives from the beyond.

Clanless Souls

Unlike Dragonborn, dragonlived do not have clans, for when the clans of the greedy dragons heard of their wished to the gods, they were exiled, never to be seen by the clan again.

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.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Draconic, and Infernal. 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. Infernal is the language of demons. Dragonlived know this language because many worship the dark god who created them.
