Homebrew Fang Dragon Species Details

Fang Dragons are a truly unique species among true dragons. While appearing much like many others at first glance, you might be surprised to realize they actually possess no breath weapon at all. Instead, their bite is hugely more powerful. And more than that, they can actually use it to drain away your health to benefit themselves. Angry and violent, even though nearly bereft of magic compared to their kin, they are the apex predator of any region they find themselves in.

Fang Dragon Traits

Fang Dragons gain the following trait;

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 2 each. Their maximums increase by 2 each.

Age

You are a young dragon, no more than 20-30 years of age. Adulthood comes at around 100 years. Dragons have been known to live for thousands of years.

Alignment

As powerful creatures who are not afraid to express themselves and impact the world around them, dragons tend away from neutrality and towards the extremes of the alignment scale.

As they were betrayed by the Evil dragon god Tiamat, few Fang dragons can be considered Evil. At the same time, a Lawful existence chafes them.. A few end up Chaotic Good at best, though many end up True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral due to their fierce nature.

Size

A dragon of your age is over 25 feet long, with a 30 foot wing span, and weighs 2000-4000 lbs. Your size is Large. As a Fang dragon your carrying capacity is twice as high as other Large creatures. Your carrying capacity is four times that of a Medium character, as are your food and water requirements.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Unfortunately, Fang dragons cannot fly as well as others can, so you can only fly at a speed of 45 feet.

Natural Armor

Fang dragons boast the toughest scales of any dragon. Your enourmous and spiky draconic form cannot accommodate any artificial armor, but your tough scales protect you more than well enough.

Your armor class is calculated as 16 plus your Dexterity Modifier.

Natural Weapons

Your animalistic form does not permit you to use any weapons, as your claws do not possess the necessary manual dexterity. However, this matters little. As a fang dragon, you are covered in weapons.

Any attack made with jaws, claws, or tail deals 1d12 piercing damage at levels 1-5, 2d12 at 6-10, 3d12 at 11-15, and 4d12 at 16+.

Darkvision

As supreme predators and frequent cave-dwellers, dragons have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Ravening Maw

Your bite drains vitality from the target. Once per short or long rest, after a successful Natural Weapon attack, you may gain 1d6 hit points. At level 6 this rises to 2d6, to 3d6 at 11, and 4d6 at level 16.

Language

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.
