Dracokin are a race of relatively tall (5.5') reptilian humanoids with large, powerful jaws, armor-like scales on their skin, and dragon-style breath weapons. A variety of different colors of dracokin can be found throughout the multiverse, with each color of scale indicating the dracokin's type of breath weapon.

The largest society of dracokin in the Astral Plane are the Drahki, from the eternal dragon plane, Drahkenos. Dracokin from various material planes can also be found scattered around the astral.

Breath Weapon

Dracokin use the power of their draconic ancestory to exhale destructive energy. When a dracokin uses their breath weapon, all creatures in the area must make a saving throw vs. Breath Attacks. A creature takes 2d4 damage on a failed save, half as much on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d4 at 6th level, and 4d4 at 12th. Dracokin may use their breath weapons a number of times per day equal to 1/2 their level, rounded up.

Breath Resistance

Dracokin get a +2 to all Saving Throws vs. Breath Attacks of the same type that they can produce.

Combat

Dracokin can use all types of weapons and armour.
