Gem Ancestry
Unlike the Chromatic and Metallic Dragonborn, the Dragonborn of gemstone descent come from lines of powerful psionic Dragons, and boast translucent, reflective scales. Their smooth and shiny hides come in all sorts of colors. These Dragonborn possess odd powers, and generally tend to avoid contact with those of Metallic or Chromatic descent.

Gem Ancestry: You trace your ancestry to a Gem Dragon, granting you a special magical affinity. Choose one type of Dragon from the Gem Ancestry table. This determines the damage type for your other traits as shown in the table:
Breath Weapon: When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Gem Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
Draconic Resistance: You have resistance to the damage type associated with your Ancestry.
Psionic Mind: You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don’t need to share a language with the creature, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language. Your communication doesn’t give the creature the ability to respond to you telepathically.
Gem Flight: Starting at 5th level, you can use a bonus action to manifest spectral wings on your body. These wings last for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover. Once you use this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
