Dragonborn

Also known as Dragonkin or Half-Dragons, Dragonborn are a rather rare occurrence in the galaxy - but not quite as rare as their dragon parents. These hybrids can appear very reptilian and dragon-like (visible scales, sharp teeth, even tails and wings), or only show a few small signs of their heritage (draconic eyes, certain hue in the skin etc).

Most Dragonborn are much more proud of their dragon ancestry than their humanoid ancestry, so within the Dragonkin circle, the more that one resembles their parent, the more respected they are. This has lead to three different classes of Dragonkin: low Dragonborn (more humanoid-like than dragon), middle Dragonborn and high Dragonborn (more dragon-like than humanoid).

Dragonborn are equally represented in the United Galactic Alliance and the Black Horde.

Special

 * Breath Weapon: As part of their heritage, Dragonborn have the ability to use the breath attack of their parents - albeit, a weaker version. As the Dragonborn grows more experienced, the breath-attack can become more potent. Gold, Brass and Red Dragonborn can spew fire (starting 3d4). Bronze and Blue Dragonborn can spit blasts of lightning (starting 2d6). Black, Green and Copper Dragonborn can breath a highly acidic, corrosive gas (starting 1d4dmg in 20' foot area for 1d4+(level) rounds). Silver and White Dragonborn can breath a cone of freezing air and ice (starting 2d6). A dragonborn can use a breath attack once per day.
 * Elemental Resistance: As part of their heritage, Dragonborn are resistant to certain elements depending on their parents (corresponds with breath weapon above). Dragonborn take 5 less damage when subject to their own element.
 * Type: There are three types of Dragonborn:
 * High Dragonborn  greatly resemble their dragon parentage. These are tall, majestic humanoids with visible scales (the hue of their parent's type), stronger muscles, more reptilian features (especially the face) and even some are seen with powerful tails and wings. While in the company of other half-dragons, they are very respected, but are rather feared and steered away from with other non-dragon humanoids.
 * +2 STR, +1 CON, -1 INT, -2 CHA
 * +2 AC
 * MiddleDragonborn.jpg: High Dragons have enough of their parent's features to emulate a deafening roar. Those that hear it must make a will save (DC 14) or be shaken for 2 rounds.
 * Middle Dragonborn are a happy medium between both their parents. While they typically appear larger and more powerful looking than most humanoids, they also are significantly less reptilian looking. Most have the scales of their parents still clearly visible on their bodies. Most races are more accepting of Middle Dragonborn, but hold their prejudices.
 * +1 STR, +1 CON, -1 CHA
 * +1 AC
 * Low Dragonborn appear significantly more like their humanoid parent than any other. The only real signs that they are dragonkin, are normally some scales visible randomly around their body (upper-arms/legs, around the ribs and occasionally the face - right around the hairline are the most common area for the location of scales) or draconic eyes. Because of their similarities to other humanoids, most races do not have a problem with Low Dragonborn.
 * +1 CON, +1 DEX, +1 CHA
 * +1 to Will Saves
