Homebrew Asgorathian Species Details
Asgorath split himself in two long ago, giving way to Bahamut and Tiamat. Many ages have passed since, centuries, and millennia. Recently, however, a new kind of dragon folk began appearing in the world. They have been seen to have red scales one day, and gold scales the next, bringing to mind this Dragon God of old. Has Asgorath returned or has anew God taken his divided mantle?
Asgorathians look like humans or elves, but with scales that occasionally poke through their skin in patches. Some have draconic eyes and even claws.

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.
