Homebrew Cursed Dragon Species Details
Sometimes the high and mighty will be brought low. Whether this is through the judgment of a deity, the curse of a collective, or the choice of the dragon itself, the result is the same: the power and strength of a dragon are stripped.
If one doesn't look closely at the faint shimmer of remnant scales or notice the odd, somewhat suspenseful sensation of making eye contact, a Cursed Dragon may pass themselves off easily for any other small-to-medium humanoid race.
Cursed Dragon Traits
While the traits are largely humanoid, similar to whichever humanoid race is utilized, some remnants of the draconic magic remain.Darkvision

Armor Class Bonus
The remnants of dragon scales still linger on your skin. You gain a +2 to your Armor Class.
Frightful Presence
Though a Cursed Dragon is limited to a humanoid form, they carry a strange aura of strength, power, and being. Though many may not know what Cursed Dragons once were, they will still feel on edge or uneasy around them.
Cursed Dragons can use this to their advantage. As an action, a Cursed Dragon can pull upon every remnant of magic that exists in their form and force each creature of their choice within a 30-ft radius to make a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC = 10 + Proficiency Bonus + Charisma Modifier), or become frightened of the Cursed Dragon for 1 minute. If a creature's saving throw is successful, they become immune to Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Size
Cursed Dragons generally are Medium Height, the same as Elves, Humans, Half-Orcs, etc.
Age
The humanoid forms of Cursed Dragons appear to be at least 20 years old. Cursed Dragons live quite a long time, some up to 800 years old.
