Homebrew Dragonborn Half Elf Species Details
To members of either of their parental clans, their unique and different anatomies are obvious within first glance.
Half-elves have no lands of their own, though they are welcome in Elven cities and somewhat less welcome in dragonborn clans. In large cities in regions where elves and dragonborn interact often, dragonborn half-elves are sometimes numerous enough to form small clans and tribes of their own. They enjoy the company of other dragonborn half-elves, the only people who truly understand what it is to live between these two worlds.
In most parts of the world, though, dragonborn half-elves are uncommon enough that one might live for years without meeting another if untraveled. Some dragonborn half-elves prefer to avoid company altogether, living as hermits, or wandering the wilds as trappers, foresters, hunters, or adventurers and visiting civilization only rarely. Like elves, they are driven by the wanderlust that comes of their longevity. Others, in contrast, throw themselves into the thick of society, putting their charisma and ancestral skills to great use as fighters and assassins.
