Homebrew Dragonkits Species Details

 the dragon-kit walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful but teasing incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, dragon-kits originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids. Some dragon-kit live in forests as a pack, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

Proud Dragon Kin

Dragon-kit look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings. The first dragon-kit 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 lighter or darker tones, colors sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or swamp green. They are tall and slim, often standing close to 7½ feet tall and weighing 205 pounds or more. Their hands and feet have talon like claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragon-kit clans. These dragon-kits often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, forest green, sky blue, snow white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, and a shining silver.

Self-Sufficient Clans

To any dragon-kit, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragon-kits owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods. Each dragon-kits’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each dragon-kit knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.

A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole. Dragon-kits value skill and excellence in all endeavors. A dragon-kit holds mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn the respect of a dragon-kit.

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.
