Homebrew Dragonkin Species Details

They look pretty cool

— a random dude

the children of highly unique races, the dragonborns and the Ganimans, no two dragonkin are alike. he shear amount of traits that are unique to each race allow for two dragon kin born of the same parents to look almost as if they were from separate races, but it is much more common to find dragonkin with many overlapping traits from both races. These can include hard scales covering the body, wider builds than most races, jaws that can have points and jagged edges reminiscent of a dragon snout, its even been seen that those who share a closer rescemblance to thier dragonborn parents have even grown tails. When their elven traits are more prevealant they cna be seen as nearly any color and have tiny almost novisable scales so tightly packed that they look like silky smooth, some have even been known to grow facial hair. The race tends to be on the heavier side, geting to be just over 200 pounds and capping out at around 300. Their upbringin can also differ greatly within the race.

Often times its much easier to integrate into elven society due to the Ganimans having less strict rules about who is allowed in their society and what they are allowed to do. When born into the Ganimans society a dragonkin will often get piercings but not have as much scaring due to the tougher skin usually apparent in the dragonkin.
