# Additional Dragonborn Types & Improved Breath Weapons

##### A biological survey of exceedingly rare varities of Dragonborn.

\page# Dragonborn of Tramauldin Two million years ago our deities fought against the monstrous Dracolich who threatend us all. Their victory against it insured Dragon-kind's survival. The heroes' care of the last remaining clutch of eggs helped to shape how Dragons interact with the other races of Tramauldin. ### Dragons of a Different Nature *"Those who are less educated in the realm of dragonborn may often think that we only come in the metallic or chromatic variety but this thought process, is in fact, hogwash." - Kante Metzen, Dragonborn Biologist* ___ **Astral:** "My father needed to age, so he came here, and that's when he discovered his love of Elven women.." **Ability Score Adjustment.** Instead of your Charisma score increasing by 1, your Intelligence increases by 1. ___ **Purple:** "I have no interest in running any kingdom under the sun.

Strength and speed can overcome anything." **Ability Score Adjustment.** Instead of your Charisma score increasing by 1, your Dexterity increases by 1. **With Fangs Like These...**You no longer have a breath weapon, but spikes protrude from your body. You may fire these from your body as unarmed strikes. They have a range of 30 feet and deal 1d4 piercing damage + Strength modifier on hit. ___ **Brown:** "Wings are not neccesary when the sands of Giam are the skies of my kind." Certain feats, including ones listed in this document, affect you differently than your fellow Dragonborn. The "Dragon Wings" feat, listed in Unearthed Arcana: Feats for Races, gives you a burrowing speed of 30ft. ___ **Deep:** "One taste of my breath and you'll never confuse me with a *purple* again.." The feats in this document affect you differently than your fellow Dragonborn. ___ **Mithral:** "The Astral Sea is a big place, many humanoid races exist there, and my mother had many mates. My creation was an inevitability." The feats in this document affect you differently than your fellow Dragonborn. ___ **Indigo:** "Did I sink your ship, puny human? Sorry, must be a bad habit I inherited from daddy dearest." **Lungs of a Dragon:** You can hold your breath for 3 times as long as you normally could. ___ **Orange:** "Never interrupt me while I'm eating! You'll find the result quite...explosive." **Lungs of a Dragon:** You can hold your breath for 3 times as long as you normally could. **Dual Ancestry:** Your Draconic Ancestry is split between two types; Your breath deals Fire damage and your natural resistance is Acid.
