What are the Draconic Races 5e?
Actually, draconic races constitute Dragonborn and Kobold. In the unearthed arcana, three sub-races of Dragonborn have been added along with kobolds. Many feats and spells have also been included in the unearthed arcana. You will find here a brief introduction to each race and its attributes.
Features of Dragonborn
Dragonborn belong to the humanoid type and look very similar to dragons. They were created to serve the dragons and as shock troops. However, many Dragonborn came out of what was little more than slavery. Despite being part of different clans they form iron-scale legions. Draconicraces pride itself on its abilities and skills. Dragonborns are in turn divided into three subraces which are Chromatic Dragonborn, Metallic Dragonborn, and Gem Dragonborn.

Depending on your dragon ancestor, you will be resistant to that specific damage associated with your lineage. You will possess a breath weapon where you can exhale magical energy within a 30-foot line. It will cause a 2d8damage if the save fails. There is also chromatic warding which you will be able to use at the third level.
- Metallic Dragonborn is also a humanoid of medium build with a standard thirty feet speed. They have 15 feet cone breath weapon and possess an additional second breath weapon. Other than that they are similar in their attributes to chromatic Dragonborn.
- Gem Dragonborn is much like the other two but you can opt for the gem type. All the traits are similar to other Dragonborn. There are two distinguishing features of the gem Dragonborn. The first one is that at the third level you will have the ability to fly with wings made of gems for just a minute. The next is the telepathic ability within 30 feet to communicate with other creatures.
