Homebrew Dragon Shifter Species Details

A Dragon Shifter is a rare oddity even for the dragon race. There are few Dragon Shifters because it is a rare talent that only a select few dragons know how to aquire. Most of the time it is acquired from dragons going against there natural greedy instincts to either give up an amount of their horded treasures for those in need or saving another from death. The power can also be gifted by Bahamut to curious Dragons who wish to see how the other races live. Most of the time a Dragon with this power can only shift into a single race usually of their choosing or of the race they saved from death. But there are rare instances of Dragons being able to shift into multiple different races (Bahamut and Tiamat can shift into any race or animal they see fit).

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.
