Homebrew Earthtarnished Species Details
In the War of the Ancients, dragons interbred with many creatures to create cannon fodder for their armies. One such group was the dwarves, some of whom were taken by the dragons to their breeding pits. The Earthtarnished were the cursed offspring of this unholy union, and one of the only groups to survive the war. After escaping from the Breeding Pits of Drakhalis, the Earthtarnished had nowhere to go. Seen as inferior by dragonkin and shunned as aberrations by their dwarven ancestors, they had no recourse but to form their own civilization and rebuild from scratch.

Breath Weapon
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in either a 15-foot Cone or a 30-foot Line that is 5 feet wide (choose the shape each time). Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 plus your Constitution modifier and Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, a creature takes 1d10 damage of the type determined by your Draconic Ancestry trait. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach character levels 5 (2d10), 11 (3d10), and 17 (4d10).
