You have the unique ability to wield the power of the Thu’um, a primal form of magic passed down from dragons. Using the shouts, or "shouts," you can unleash devastating effects such as Unrelenting Force, Fire Breath, and many more. These powerful abilities harness the ancient language of the dragons, causing destruction or utility at your command, depending on your mastery and the situation.

Due to your heritage and upbringing in the harsh northern climates, you have developed an innate resistance to cold weather and environmental conditions. Whether you're traveling through frozen tundras or battling in frigid climates, the biting chill of winter or the numbing cold of ice-covered mountains no longer hinders you, giving you an edge in colder environments where others might struggle.

As a direct descendant of dragons, your physical prowess is unmatched among mortals. You possess enhanced strength, which allows you to wield heavy weapons with ease, and exceptional stamina that allows you to fight for long durations without tiring. Your body can endure hardships that would leave most others weakened, and your resilience in combat is legendary.

Your connection to dragons runs deeper than just physical traits—it is a mark of your heritage. This connection often manifests as an aura that others can sense, causing you to be revered or feared by those who encounter you. The sight of your dragonborn form may stir the primal instincts of those who cross your path, whether it be awe, dread, or a mixture of both. Some may even seek to challenge your power, while others may offer their allegiance out of respect for your heritage.

Draconic Ancestry

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.

You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.

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.
