Homebrew Drakin Species Details

Drakin look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings, they do have a long tail. The Drakin have scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragonkin. Their small, fine scales come in all forms of exotic colors. They are tall and dextrously built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 250 pounds or less. Their hands and feet are nimble, talonlike claws with four fingers and a thumb on each hand.
Nomadic Families
Drakin, unlike there dragonborn cousins who live within clans, honor their family above all else and will stay with their families if possible. Their hierarchies usually are based on age, but will sometimes be altered based on actions. Their families roam nomadically to wherever benefits them most.
Alliances
Sometimes multiple drakin families will form an alliance where the families travel together, or if big enough they will abandon their nomadic ways and form a small city.

Breath Weapon
You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

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.
