Homebrew Dracoborn Species Details

An obscene and unholy hybrid. these species shouldn't even exist, yet they do somehow. Born from the Dragonborn and Humans, the Dracoborns take a mix of these two. scaley in some places, and draconic eyes. and potentially sharp teeth. these races may have a more Human dominant look, but retain some attribuutes of the Dragonborn dna, or the reverse can occur. the best known of this race happens to be one of the Great Seven, Ezio. He appeared human-like, just had sharp teeth and a more slit like pupil, and scales of which he hid.

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids. Some dragonborn are faithful servants to true dragons, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

Proud Dragon Kin

Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragonborn clans. These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze..
