Homebrew Platinum Dragonborn Species Details

 

Platinum Dragonborn do not occur naturally. Despite that, you are still undeniably metallic platinum, and thus possess a unique connection to Bahamut that no other being has.


Platinum Dragonborn Traits

Creature Type: Humanoid
Size: Medium (about 5–7 feet tall)
Speed: 30 feet

As a Platinum Dragonborn, you have these special traits.

Platinum Ancestry

Your lineage stems directly from the progenitor of all metallic dragons, Bahamut the platinum dragon. You gain resistance to radiant damage, and the ability to use both of his breath weapons.

Platinum 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 radiant damage. 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).

Alternatively, you can switch out the radiant damage for a healing effect using the same values.

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.

Darkvision

You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.

Draconic Flight

When you reach character level 5, you can channel draconic magic to give yourself temporary flight. As a Bonus Action, you sprout spectral wings on your back that last for 10 minutes or until you retract the wings (no action required) or have the Incapacitated condition. During that time, you have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed. Your wings appear to be made platinum light. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
