Half-Dragon
Ability Score Increase Based on Draconic Ancestry
Size Medium
Speed 30 ft
Age. Half-Dragons mature at the same rate as their mortal parent's race, but they can live up to 1000 years. A few of those who have transcended into dragonhood, however, have been granted the gift of immortality. Making dragonhood even more sought after, but no less difficult to achieve.
Blindsight. From its Draconic ancestry, the Half-Dragon gains Blindsight in a range of 30 feet.
Darkvision. The Half-Dragon has Darkvision in a range of 60 feet.
Breath Attack(BA). You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
When you use your breath attack, each creature in the area of exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases by an additional 1d6 at 6th level, 11th level, and 16th level.
After you use your breath attack, you can't use it again until it's recharged. At the start of each of your turns, provided you already used your breath attack, you may roll a d6. On a 6, you regain the use of your breath attack. Otherwise, your breath attack recharges 1 minute after you used it.
