Homebrew Floral Dragonborn Species Details
The first floral dragonborn emerged long ago as infants born to dragonborn parents. From the moment of their birth, it is clear that floral dragonborns are different from their dragonborn kin. As they grow to adulthood, their plantlike nature becomes more obvious—buds, blossoms, and leaves begin to sprout, mimicking the flowery frills and manes of floral dragons. They come to resemble the floral dragon they take after far more than their own parents.
Floral Dragonborn look like wingless, bipedal floral dragons— scaly, bright-eyed, and thick-boned with flowers on their heads—and their coloration and other features are reminiscent of their draconic floral ancestors.

Floral Breath Weapon
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of swirling magical petals in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 plus your Charisma modifier and Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, a creature takes 1d8 magical slashing damage and triggers the breath weapon effect of your Floral Legacy. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and your breath weapon effect is not triggered. This damage increases by 1d8 when you
reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
You can use this Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Floral Fortitude
You have advantage on saving throws against a condition associated with your Floral Legacy
Draconic Blossoming
When you reach character level 5, you can use a bonus action to manifest the draconic power of a floral dragon that fills you with vitality. For 1 minute, you regain 1d4 hit points at the start of each of your turns. Additionally, for the duration any creature that attacks you must first succeed on a
Charisma saving throw (DC = 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus) or be forced to choose a different target for its attack. Once you use this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
