Homebrew Dragon Species Details

Most dragons prefer living in isolation, hoarding treasure. Others prefer a life of adventure amongst others, whether to learn more about them, or rule over them. Using their natural might and what they learn from adventurers, they can become formidable beings, even more so than those who never leave their lairs.

Dragon Traits: Elemental Affinity, Breath Weapon, Natural Weapons, Natural Armor, Flight, Superior Vision, Growth (Optional Feature)

Dragon Traits

As a Dragon, you bear the following traits:

Creature Type

You are a Dragon. You also count as Dragonborn for any feats or item that may require it.

Size

You are Medium. 

Elemental Affinity.

You have an affinity to an element or energy depending on your dragon species. Choose one element or energy type from Acid, Poison, Fire, Lightning, Cold, Radiant, Necrotic, Force or Psychic. You are resistant to that element or energy type.

Breath Weapon

You have a breath weapon. You can replace an attack with an exhalation of energy in a 15ft cone or 30ft line that is 5ft wide. The saving throw depends on the energy type (DC 8 plus your Constitution modifier and Proficiency Bonus). It deals 2d8 damage of your energy type, or half as much on a success. The damage increases by 2d8 when you reach character levels 10 (4d8), 16 (6d8) and 20 (8d8).

You can use this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and recover all uses on a Short or Long Rest.

Mighty Wings

Starting at 5th level, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Superior Vision

You have Darkvision up to 60ft.

Languages

You speak Common and Draconic.
