Homebrew Dragonkin Species Details

Dragonkin are a hybrid between humans and dragons, though it is usually a diluted connection, either because the dragon was no longer a dragon at the point of conception or they were a descendant that did not inherit sorcerous powers, although there are exceptions.

Unknown potential

 Dragonkin usually look about the same as humans, with the exception of a few features, like potentially claws, wings or scales, it is also possible for a dragonkin to be able to pass perfectly for a human, and many do, with some not even realizing their draconic heritage.

Culturally human

Due to their near human nature, most dragonkin live in human societies, though it is not uncommon for those who have learned of their heritage to be adventurers or to have been adopted into a dragonborn culture.

diverse appearance

Dragonkin typically share similar builds and appearance to humans, except potentially claws, scales, wings, and other draconic features

name and age

Dragonkin names are typically the same as human names, though some will adopt more draconic names or nicknames to honor their heritage. Dragonkin usually mature at the same rate as humans but live for a little longer, with the norm being about 130 years.

Ability score increase

Gain +1 to one stat and +2 to another, or gain +1 to three stats

Improved healing

You may end any non curse persistent effect affecting you whenever you take a short rest if you expend 1 hit die, this doesn’t count towards the other part of this ability.

Major Draconic trait

Dragon’s breath

Using an action You can exhale a 10ft cone of draconic energy, dealing 1d6 damage of any type other than bludgeoning, piercing or slashing, chosen on character creation, on a failed dexterity save, where the dc equals 8+proficiency bonus+constitution modifier. the damage of this ability increases by 1d6 at 5th, 11th, and 17th level

 

Healing energy

Using your action You may stabilize one target creature within 15ft and/or may heal them 1d6 hp. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses on a long rest.

starting at 5th level you may cast lesser restoration as a part of the same action once per long rest, and may expend a 2nd level spell slot to do so again, at 17th level you may instead cast greater restoration, without needing to provide the material components, but also losing the ability to end curses, you may cast greater restoration for free using this feature only once per long rest, and may expend a 5th level spell slot to do so again.
