Homebrew Dragon Spawn Species Details
originally you were not supposed to be born, abandoned by the one who laid you, yet some being intervened and now you exist. An abomination surely? For you were never supposed to walk or breathe or talk, yet here you are, a powerful but wrong being.
Dragon spawn vary in appearance, they might look of a gith with a dragon’s tail, or a drow with a dragon’s wings, or a tiefling with a dragon’s claws. Yet no matter what resemblance of race they have, they always have one or more aspects of their mother. Tail, wings, crest, claws, eyes. They have at least one of it.
but there are other things about them that they do have in common.
for example:
-understanding of draconian and draconian heritage
-the sharp predatory teeth of their ancestors
-the ability to take shape of their rightful and original shape
-lesser understanding and concept of social norms
-deeper respect and resonance for their dragon kin

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.
