Homebrew Dragonbuilt Species Details
The ancestors of dragonborn, born long before the first of the chromatic and metallic dragons. One story holds that these were born of the oldest dragons, before they became gods, who wanted to populate the multiverse with their children. . Whatever their origin, dragonborn have made homes for themselves on the Material Plane.
Dragonbuilt look like winged, bipedal, sometimes quadrupedal dragons— thick-scaled, bright-eyed, and thick-boned with many horns on their heads, tails to keep them balanced—and their coloration and other features are reminiscent of their closer relation to their draconic ancestors.

Ancient Draconic Ancestry
Your lineage stems from a direct dragon progenitor. Choose two kinds of dragon from the Draconic Ancestors table. Your choice affects your Breath Weapon and Damage Resistance traits as well as your appearance.
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).
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.
Damage Resistance
You have Resistance to the damage type determined by your Draconic Ancestry trait.
Darkvision
You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Ancient Draconic Flight
As a Bonus Action, you sprout spectral wings over your normal wings that last for 2 hours, or until you retract the wings (no action required) or have the Incapacitated condition. During that time, you have a Fly Speed 2.5 times your normal Fly Speed. Your wings appear to be made of the same energy as your Breath Weapon. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
