Homebrew Fang Dragonborn Species Details

 

Fang Dragborn: Rare among dragonborn even as the Fang Dragons are among true dragons, Fang Dragonborn often aren't often seen by those outside of their native lands.  Fang Dragonborn upon first impressions seem as weaklings compared to other dragonborn, they make up for their lack of breath weapon with larger natural weapons, the draining bite of their namesakes as well as the ability to mimic any sound they have ever heard.  The Fang Dragonborn look more savage than others of their race, larger claws on their hands and feet, a tail that splits near the end into scything bone blades, and horns, spikes and bony protrusions from their scales that often stick out on their heads and/or joints and depending on their upbringing may have a personality that is either more savage than a typical dragonborn or sometimes at all costs trying to get everyone to get along and talk their way out of their problems. Typically with glittering red or orange eyes and scales of dull grey with red or brown tints. 

Fang Dragonborn Traits

Your draconic heritage manifests in a variety of traits you share with other dragonborn.

Scales of Blades

Your fanged maw, larger claws, and a split tail with scything bone blades on its end are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Mimicry

You can mimic sounds you have heard including voices. A creature that hears the sounds you make can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Deception).

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.

Age

Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80.

Alignment

Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil (represented by Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). Most dragonborn are good, but those who side with Tiamat can be terrible villains.

Size

Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Draining Bite

You can use your action to bite a creature. When you use your draining bite, the creature must make a saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save and gains disadvantage on Constitution saving throws for the next minute, and half as much damage on a successful one without affecting Constitution saving throws. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your draining bite ability, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Damage Resistance

You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
