I've been playing around the idea of a dragonborn oath of conquest paladin. His whole journey is to not become a warlord, but to become the lord of war. Survivors of his attacks exist only to tell the tale of his strength. The use of fear and terror. Allies would be treated as equals, every warlord needs his Lieutenants.

That fits really well with the lore of Dragonborn always wanting to be the best. It feels like a natural progression for a Dragonborn to keep amassing that power, and rule over the land. What color were you thinking?

@@TheSinisterheroes was thinking something either red or black... maybe an odd coloration that has bits from each? I wanted to have an acid breath attack and to work woth my DM to figure out how a grapple would work and then to blast the breath weapon from point blank into my grappled enemies face. I figured it would really convince some enemies to flee and fear me.

Dragonborn actually have a few different colors to there scales so you could be a mixture. Usually the color they follow along is the more dominant or more visual color of there scales. I wish probe gave you disadvantage on dex saves cus that would be awesome, but unfortunately it’s not the rule. I could see a dm giving it to you because it makes sense and you would need to make an attack just to attempt the grapple.

I'm currently playing as a mercury variant dragon born named Sigh, and trying to stick with the whole mercury dragon theme I've made him kind of like a psychic that alters memories and makes people live their darkest fears/nightmares. As he's a mercury variant he isn't as strong as most other dragonborn and doesn't have the cool magical abilities some other classes do but in combat he's an absolute menace and outside of combat there's always something interesting he can do.

I did a one shot of a Dragonborn tempest cleric that I really wish I could’ve fleshed out more, considering how much I did write about her.

I get that. Sometimes a character is just so great to play as. You sometimes feel like there adventure isn’t over. I have a character like that that I wish I could push through into another campaign. Considering it was a one shot I can see no reason why you wouldn’t wanna bring the character into a full campaign.

I'm playing as a female Silver Dragonborn(Fizban version) Horizon Walker Ranger in a homebrew campaign now while she's a Dragonborn mechanics wise lore-wise she's a Silver-Half Dragon as she's the daughter of Marcus Goodwynn a merchant turned noble and his female Silver Dragon lover Seraphina Silvercloak aka Sera/Lady Sera with it being that while she was raised in educated in human society due to predominantly living with her father Marcus where she primarily got a human education and learned the basics of being a Ranger including tracking, exploring, survival skills, sword-fighting, and archery though her mother Seraphina did play a hand in raising her as well mainly teaching her how to use the Nature Magic Rangers use her Silver Dragon heritage/nature which also includes her ability to breath a Ice Breath and the two types of Metallic Breath, her innate connection to the Elemental Plane of Air, the truth about the Multiverse and her connection to including how to tap into it's power and the abilities that come with tapping into this great power and the fact she's resistant to the ice and cold aka that she can walk outside in the cold in just a short dress without bundling up and she'd be fine.

Thank you so much I will

I just started playing dnd for the first time, and I already knew I wanted to do a dragonborn character, but this video made me want to play around with the lore a little bit and sorta flip it on its head. I know probably no one cares but I really like the idea I came up with so kinda wanna share it >.> I have it more written out but I'll make it short. Ahdrell (my character) was abandoned at a really young age, never felt at home anywhere because other species are fearful of dragonborn, etc. Eventually she caught the attention of the Raven Queen, who for some unknown reason took a liking to Ahdrell, and granted her the power of the shadowfell (making her a hexblade). Eventually Ahdrell *did* find a dragonborn clan to fall into, but eventually left it when the clan decided to turn away from the gods fully, and Ahdrell didn't want to abandon the Raven Queen because she was the only friend Ahdrell ever had. Since then she's just sorta roamed the land trying to figure out who she really is. At the time the game takes place, she's still pretty young (15 in human years, dunno what that would translate to in dragonborn years), but because she's spent most of her life on her own anyway, she's become pretty self-sufficient (with the help of the Raven Queen, that is)

That works on a few lore points as well. The raven queen dose make most of the hexblades. Dragonborn are really prideful and will definitely avoid worshiping gods if they could. The loyalty of a dragonborn is pretty strong as well. There’s a lot of great points to really make Ahdrell a full character and not just a 1 dimensional entity. I.e. I see bad I stop bad. I hope you enjoy your first game! Best of luck! Have you played role playing in games before? Is this a heavy role playing game your joining?

It could be really cool if a concept.

You don’t have to but I like the idea that being made by dragons carried some of the dragons energy. Which bleeds into the species.
