If its humanoid it has breasts... Fantasy rule 101.

I made a dragonborn monk with blue ancestry, took the Dragon Hide feat from Xanathar's guide so he can mix up blunt damage with slashing. He has spines on his back that light up when he's charging his breath weapon, and the DM gave the party a ring that grants underwater move speed equal to your movement speed as well as water breathing. He was supposed to be a Godzilla tribute, and I think it worked out pretty well.


Also, I want to make a party of dragonborn that are bards or have the entertainer background. Party name can be Dragonforce.

slowly coming to grips with the fact that my Skyrim character isn't *really* Dragonborn

[NobodyDungeons]

what I tend to do is tell my players to pick whatever color they want because the bloodlines are so muttled that a white dragon born could spit acid

[genobreaker]

"I wanna play a dragon!"
"You can't."


This is why 3.5 is best edition lol
Because you could.

0:00-0:27 Ted isn't merely cosplaying. He cast disguise self.

[joseywales]

I've never played dnd before this, but I'm going to be playing a Draconic Dragonborn Artificer when my group starts in a couple weeks

[ourochroma]

Me: watched video
Them: proceed to name every character class except the one I have
Me, with a dragonborn rogue: T-T... but I love my boi

[travisterry]

I made a draconic bloodline sorcerer so my scales could apply AC. Was looking forward to getting wings.

[BLynn]

Draconians (or dragonmen) were introduced in 2E Dragonlance which are the predecessors to Dragonborn.

[watchface]

The Dragonborn Zealot Barbarian in my campaign is a beast. On top of being a monster in combat I love his role playing the savage, bloodlust of a Red Dragon while trying to stay on the straight and narrow as a worshipper of Bahamut.

[thevoidcritter]

"But look!"
That doesn't count; that's clearly a 4e book.

[BahamutZerodragon]

Dragonborns are perhaps my favorite d&d race. i think paladin or sorcerer is my favorite class for them.

[southron_d]

I've had two players choose Dragonborn so far. The first was a Ranger, the other was a Barbarian.


Since then, I've adapted the 4e rules quite easily for the Dragonborn.


There have been a lot of real life issues which have prevented me from DM-ing as well as kind people who are DM-ing for me. But I'll be back at the helm soon and hopefully someone will take a "new" Dragonborn.

[MrLiltack]

My wife plays a Dragonborn fighter in our group's game. She really enjoys the idea of being this beefed up dragon who kicks ass.

[willtcox]

I love that you led with the whole "do dragonborn have breasts or not" nonsense. Too funny.

[Corithaniel]

I have a back up character that's half Barbarian and half Blood Hunter. All ice themed Dragonborn.

My blood is ice, my breath is ice and my rage is ice. Pretty cool if you ask me 🤣👉👉

>not filming the entire video as Lady Gremlah

[dkarpovich]

I got a few Dragonborn characters. One monk
Two Paladins (one good the other evil)
One sorcerer
One fighter(with it being a homebrew dragonborn race of a platinum dragonborn)
And one bard(the bard college I picked was also a homebrew called College of Rock)
Most of the homebrew stuff I got from D&D Beyond

[anthiondel]

I have 2 Dragonborn characters. One is a LG Silver Dragonborn Oath of Conquest/Hexblade who fights for Tyr and reconquering his rightful domain by terrorizing the enemies and smashing them with his force of personality, total blast to RP. The other one is a CG Gold Dragonborn Lore Bard who's a coward and uses CC and his Spiritual Weapon fights for him since lvl6, hillarious to RP him.
