Homebrew Dragontaur Species Details

THIS IS UNOFFICIAL MATERIAL

The material here is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination. These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not refined by final game design and editing. They aren’t officially part of the game and aren’t permitted in D&D Adventurers League events.

If this material is made official, it will be refined based on your feedback, and then it will appear in a D&D product that you can unlock on DDB.

If this material is not made official, it will be removed from DDB following the playtest period and you will need to replace it with another option.

It is unclear where Dragontuars come from or how they are born in large tribes deep in the wilds so its a rare sight for a normal human to see, raised and taught by their parent and other Centaurs. Dragontuars growing up are just as wild as their ancestry some tending to be more brutal than others. Being brought up usually as hunters or warriors, due to their fierce looks and power they tend to be pursued easily to join other races as guardians or tend to devolve into something else..

 

Age

Young Dragontuars grow quickly. They walk hours after being born same like Dragonborn, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, but reach Adulthood by 18. They live to be around 70.

Alignment: Dragontuars are extreme to their wild nature, making the choice of where one's Alignment choices are based on another strength and will, they can be loyal guardians or feral beasts devolving into that like Dracotuars

Size

The average Dragontaur is between seven and eleven feet tall. They have been known to weigh between 1500 and 3000 pounds. Your size is Large.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 50 feet unarmored. The armor heavier than any Medium or a rider causes a reduction in speed to 30 feet.

 

Taken Centaur Names

Centaurs’ given names are passed down through family lines. The name given to a new foal is typically the name of the most recently deceased family member of the same gender, keeping alive the memory — and, the centaurs believe, some shard of the spirit — of the departed.

Centaurs rarely use family names, but wear symbols that represent their family membership. These symbols might include graphical representations of plants or animals, printed mottos, braids and beads worn in the hair, or even specific patterns of woven fabric.

Dragontaur Traits

The following traits are shared by player characters who are Dragontuars.

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age

Dragontaur age rapid like that of Dragonborn. Born and quickly learning to walk the same day but still in need of the parants guide. By age 18 considered to be adult and live to be around the age of 75

Size

Your size is Medium, yet you tower over most other humanoids.

Charge

If you move at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, roll the weapon’s damage dice twice and add them together. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Claws of furry

Your dragon claws are natural weapons, which you are proficient in and can use to make unarmed strikes with either your two front Claws. If you hit with them, they do 2d6 + Strength modifier in Slashing damage. If a successful attack is made with the back feet 2d6 + Strength modifier in bludgeoning damage, and the target must make a DC 10 Strength saving throw or be pushed back 5 ft. Movement in this way does not provoke any attacks of opportunity.

 

 

Rider Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag.

In addition, any climb that requires hands and your feet, each foot of movement costs you 2 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot.

Finally, a Medium or smaller creature can ride on your equine back if you allow it. In such a situation, you continue to act independently, not as a controlled mount.

Survivor

You have proficiency in the Survival skill.

Hybrid Nature

You have two creature types: humanoid and monstrosity. You can be affected by a game effect if it works on either of your creature types.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Sylvan, and one extra of your choice

Draconic Ancestry Armor

Draconic Ancestry due to the scales on the lower half choose from the Dragonborn Ancestry and you will have resistance to that colors breath attack

Centaur Weakness

While there are surely advantages to being a hybrid, there are a number of ways in which the dragon body of the dragontaur is a detriment to the humanoid half.

• As you lack the lower body of a humanoid, you are unable to wear humanoid armor below the belt (ex: leggings, greaves, or boots).
• Due to the larger size of your lower half, any fall damage taken is doubled.
• Unless your dragon like feet are in some way obscured, you have disadvantage on Stealthchecks when walking on hard surfaces, such as stone, brick, or glass.
