Dragonborn

Favored class: Sorcerer
Preview Dragonborn in the Cosmetic Studio

Born to fight, Dragonborn are a race of warriors and adventurers that hail from Argonessen. They have the unique ability to channel elements into a Breath Weapon attack.

Descended long ago from Dragons on the continent of Argonessen, Dragonborn have only recently begun to sojourn to places like Stormreach.

Stat Notes:

Dragonborn start with higher strength and charisma, but lower dexterity.

Strengths: Resistant to an element of your choosing, potential to excel at both martial and spellcasting roles.

Weaknesses: Lower dexterity makes certain fighting styles difficult, such as Two Weapon Fighting.
