Homebrew Moonstone Dragonborn Species Details
Like their ancestors, Moonstone Dragonborn are graceful and elegant with opalescent scales and ruffs of emerald-green fur running down their chins, chests, backs, and tails. Moonstone Dragonborn are playful and impetuous in their early years, but the best of them mature into wise teachers and storytellers who anchor Feywild communities. The worst of them are pompous and ill behaved, but even those remain gentle by nature and curious about all things—especially travelers from faraway places.
Moonstone dragons can project themselves into the realm of dreams to communicate with the creatures that sleep near their lairs. In this way, they inspire artists and poets, encourage great thinkers, and spur adventurers to heroic deeds. This ancestry tends to lead Moonstone Dragonborn adventurers into professions that support and aid their companions: Bards, Clerics and Paladins for example.

Breath Weapons
You can use your action to exhale a line of Moonlight dealing Radiant Damage. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a dexterity saving throw. 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.
Additionally, you can use your action to exhale a mist in a 15ft cone. Each creature in the area of exhalation must make a constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save the creature is rendered unconscious for 1 minute. This effect ends for a creature if the creature takes damage or someone uses an action to wake it.
After you’ve used your breath weapons, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance
You have resistance to Radiant damage similar to your draconic ancestor.
