Homebrew Drakonik Species Details

Drakonik Origin

Drakoniks are different than most other races because they were not made from gods. Drakoniks are created by consuming(or getting it directly in your bloodstream) at least eight milliliters of dragon blood(or 4 milliliters if you are/were a dragonborn) they become almost like half-dragons. Whatever type of dragon's blood you consume, you will get that type of dragon's powers(If it is blood from a blue dragon you have lightning breath)

Ventures of a New Life

When a person becomes a drakonik they become a new person entirely with only remnants of their personality and memory from who they once were. This gives them new opportunities to do things differently if they were evil before they became a drakonik they have a chance to become good, if a psychopath becomes a drakonik they may regain sanity and become remorseful, but this could happen the other way around where the process of becoming a drakonik destroys the sanity of someone through its gruesome transformation.

Grim Transformation

The process of becoming a drakonik is more than just consuming blood they also have to undergo a process similar to ceramorphism but in a single minute. While undergoing the process called Drakimorphisis which changes every physical aspect of a person(unless you're a Dragonborn) changes and morphs. The first thing that changes is your skeletal system which shifts and morphs into a similar structure to whatever dragon's blood you consumed with all except wings(unless you were a winged race beforehand), this tears and rips your skin and muscles sprouting horns, claws, spins, and teeth. Next is your skin and muscle, your muscles and skin shifts and shapes around your new skeletal system, this results in becoming weaker than you once were until you consume enough food. Last is your internal organs which melt and turn into a soupy substance, this soupy substance hardening and softening to form your new organs melting and remelting. When all of this is done you become a drakonik. Drakoniks are easy to tell from different types of blood because they now look like a dragon with the proportions of a humanoid with a heavier head and a tail for balance.

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.
