Homebrew Drezhan Species Details
The Drezhan are descendants of dragons that choose to mix their lineage with humans. They receive the longevity and vitality of dragons while also keeping the guise of humans. Often compared visibly to Tieflings & Yuanti Purebloods, Drezhan are fair humanlike individuals with patches dragon scales on their arms and faces, horns that stem from their foreheads, and sharp claw-like hands. Dragonborn clans view Drezhan as defective and inferior. Other races such as Yuanti & Fairies consider the Drezhan to be a kind of royalty and revere them.
Drezhan share their draconic eyes with their dragonborn cousins, and while there are other similarities between the 2, the Drezhan are viewed more favorably by civilized by many societies. Drezhan also have clans in which they pride themselves in spreading the names and deeds of their noble and great clans.
