Proud Dragon Heritage
Half dragons look very similar to their mortal parent, except
  for the horns and partial scales that cover their bodies, as
  well as their draconic legs and long tails. However, half
  dragons are more known for their dangerous elemental
  breaths, as well as the gift of transformation. While only a
few half dragons eventually ascend to true dragonhood,
   some have been gifted with a "lesser" form that allows
      them a burst of power as well as the gift of flight for a
          short period of time.
             Half dragons’ color patterns are similar to their
              draconic parent, and in the case of two half dragons
               having children, the child is often born in the color
              scheme of either parent, though occasionally they
             instead look like one of the other draconic ancestors
            of the parents, as half dragons are strongly drawn to
         one another and are known to quickly make families
and communities. They are tall and strongly built, with
males often standing close to six and a half feet tall and
being taller and heavier than females. They also gain an
advantage based on which draconic heritage is more
dominant for them.
Challenging Upbringing

Channel Divinity: Dragon's
Wrath
Starting at 2nd level, as an action, you can use your
Channel Divinity to unleash a devastating exhalation of
energy; your breath weapon. Your Draconic Blessing
determines the size, shape, and damage type of your breath
weapon.
When you use this breath weapon, each creature in the
area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of
which is determined by your Draconic Blessing. A creature
takes 3d8 + your cleric level damage on a failed save, and
half as much damage on a successful one.
Legendary Protection
At 6th level, your deity rewards you with the fabled
protection of their draconic children, granting you the
following benefits:
You gain resistance to the damage type associated with
your Draconic Blessing. If you already have resistance to
this damage type from another source, then you can
instead reduce damage of that type by an amount equal
to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) after halving
the damage.
While wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus

to your AC. You also gain this bonus while wearing

scale mail made out of dragon scales.

Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon
strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when
you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the
attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the type associated
with your Draconic Blessing to the target. When you reach
14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Shock and Awe
At 17th level, as an action, you can unleash a true dragon's
roar that terrifies your enemies and inspires your allies.
Choose any creatures that are within 30 feet of you. If the
creature can see and hear you, it must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a
failed save, the creature becomes frightened of you for 1
minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a
creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for
it, then the creature becomes immune to your Shock and
Awe for the next 24 hours. In addition, creatures of your
choice within 30 feet of you gain advantage on the next
attack roll they make within the next minute, provided they
can hear you.
When you use your Dragon's Wrath Channel Divinity
feature, you can use your bonus action to exude a

terrifying presence, which causes all the above effects.

Oath of Draconic Majesty

Dragons are some of the most powerful creatures in the
multiverse, and there are those who seek to emulate their
majesty in all that they do. Whether they wish to use and
exercise a dragon’s power, help it extend its influence and
change the world, or simply fell in love with the mighty
creature and its ideals, they all agree that dragonkind has
its role to play in the great battles of this world. Those who
follow this ideal have made an oath with an ancient or older
dragon, which has become their sovereign. Followers of
this oath may also choose Bahamut (god of metallic
dragons), Tiamat (god of chromatic dragons), or a different
dragon god as their Sovereign.
Draconic Tenets
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of
Draconic Majesty vary, paladins of this oath share the
following tenets, with some based on your dragon
sovereign.
Majesty. I shall not bring shame to my sovereign, and I
will behave in a way befitting of my status. I will be proud.
Treasure. I will gather wealth and unique items, both for
my endeavors and for my sovereign. Regardless if they call
me greedy. One never has enough riches.
Power. (Chromatic sovereign only) What good is power if
it is not used? I shall use my power to advance the goals of
my sovereign and myself, and remove those who oppose
me.
Goodwill. (Metallic sovereign only) I shall not confuse
arrogance and pride, nor shall I think myself above helping
the weak and the weary.
Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath
of Draconic Majesty Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class
feature for how oath spells work.

Paladin level Spells
3rd absorb elements, heroism
5th dragon's breath, hold person
9th fear, protection from energy
13th elemental bane, stoneskin
17th cone of cold, dominate person

Draconic Oath
At 3rd level, as you seek to emulate the majesty of dragons,
you have learned to speak, read and write Draconic.
Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when
interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled
if it applies to the check.
When you choose this oath, you must choose a dragon
from the Draconic Oath table, which must be the same
dragon type as that of your dragon sovereign. If you choose
Bahamut as your sovereign you can choose any metallic
dragon, if you choose Tiamat as your sovereign you can
choose any chromatic dragon, and if you choose Asgorath
(or another dragon god) as your sovereign you can choose
any dragon. Steel dragons are a type of metallic dragon,
sapphire dragons are a type of gem dragon, and celestial
dragons are their own subspecies of dragon. For game
purposes, steel and sapphire dragons count as metallic
dragons, and celestial dragons count as chromatic dragons.

They Grow Up Fast
Due to living a challenging lifestyle, the dragon hatchling
will mature faster than other dragon hatchlings. When it
reaches a sufficient sidekick level, it will grow into a dragon
wyrmling. This will replace its base dragon hatchling game
statistics with the game statistics of a dragon wyrmling of
the same dragon type (page 91, or Monster Manual page
86), with the exception that the white wyrmling will gain an
Intelligence score of 10 and a Charisma score of 13. In
addition to Dexterity and Charisma, its new form grants it
proficiency in Constitution and Wisdom saving throws, or
different ones if it already has those proficiencies (your
choice). The level at which the dragon will grow into a
dragon wyrmling of the same type is equal to three times
the challenge rating of that dragon wyrmling (a silver
dragon wyrmling counts as a dragon with a challenge rating
of 3 for this feature). It retains all ability score increases and
adds these to its new dragon wyrmling game statistics.

Dragonforged
Dragonforged are modified warforged, and considered the
pinacle of dragonborn crafting. The creation of these
dragonforged was commissioned by several legions, who
sought to create loyal and stalwart sentries against enemies
that relied heavily on ambush tactics and assassinations.
These modifications include darkvision, a "breath weapon"
which launches several metal shards, and a restoration
system that allows them to be more easily revived after
battle. However, this came at the cost of their specialized
design, and their new restoration system had a significant
flaw; it conflicted with their integrated protection, and
limited restoration magic from sources other than itself, as
the system saw those as an outside threat while the
dragonforged was in combat. Nevertheless, this flaw

was accepted as many saw it at as a way of self reliance,

which is considered a great virtue among dragonborn.

The legions considered the project a great success,

as they became known as efficient sentries, guards,

and vanguard. Once they gained sentience, the

Half Dragon players vs Half Dragon template
There is an existing half dragon template, which is meant
as a boon on top of existing monsters. The half dragon
player race is different in both appearance and power.
Where the template makes the creature look extremely
dragonlike, the playable half dragon still has a very

humanoid appearance. The half dragon can have

the appearance of a dwarf or halfling if the mortal

parent was one, though due to its larger size it

would usually be medium, as well as possess all

the other half dragon traits. At your DM's

discretion however, you can choose to be small

sized if one of your mortal parents was as well.

The term half dragon is also used as a

reference to those who are descendants

of such unions between dragon and mortal,

and as such the name is a bit inaccurate

when used in those cases. Regardless, it

is a generally acceptable term when used

to describe the more humanoid

descendants of dragon kind.

For those players that want to play a half

dragon with wings, you can discuss the

following option with your DM; access to the

Draconic Heritage feat from the dragonborn:

Blessed by the Dragon Gods
Most half dragons only possess a draconic tail and lower
body, along with several scales on their upper bodies.
However, there are a rare few who are blessed by the
dragon gods (usually Bahamut or Tiamat) and are granted
draconic wings. These blessings seem to be random, as
even the most devout followers of Bahamut will find it
unlikely that they would be blessed with them. Those

who are lucky enough to be granted this blessing will

often start with smaller or weaker wings, which need

time to properly grow in size or strength. And, similar

to the lesser dragon form, these wings will only

further motivate them to ascend to dragonhood.

Relationship with other races
Kobolds revere both dragonborn and half dragons, to

the point that it is almost worship. And although they

will also stand up for their own interests (which they

consider a sign that they are worthy) they will still do
everything within their power to prove their worth

to them. These are generalizations, but overall they do

tend to be highly positive towards dragonborn and half

dragons, especially those that show them a shred of
respect. Which doesn't have to be a whole lot all things
considered. As such the other draconic races tolerate them,
either annoyed or endeared, or both.
Other humanoid races on the other hand are often met
with suspicion, and the feeling is often mutual. However,
many kobolds are more open, especially if a good meal is
involved. Gnomes however, are generally considered a
racial enemy, though some kobolds can overlook that if the
meal is sufficient enough.

The main deities of the draconic pantheon are Bahamut
and Tiamat. They are also the ones who enjoy the most
non-draconic followers, and have been at odds

with each other since the beginning of creation.

All dragon gods have in common that they value

strength and independence, and this is one of the

few areas where Bahamut and Tiamat find

common place. Bahamut on one hand promotes

strength in his followers and teaches them to

promote independence. He will shield those that

are weaker, but strongly encourages those weaker

beings to strive to improve themselves. While

Tiamat has little patience for weakness, and

encourages her followers to kill those that

provide no use to them.

Asgorath
Asgorath, also known as Io, is the neutral

dragon deity of creation. He (or she, as some

traditions suggested) is regarded as the creator

of the multiverse and of dragonkind. He manipu-

lates the destinies of all dragons by operating in

a way that nobody suspected his involvement.

Asgorath is supposed to encompass all alignments,

but is often regarded as neutral. However, many good

aligned half dragon clerics and paladins worship him,

as he is the protector god of all of dragon kind. In the

Outer Planes, he is more commonly known as Io. His holy

symbol is a multicolored metallic disk.
Some sages believe that Asgorath is an aspect of the
World Serpent concept, while others claim that

Asgorath is actually a primordial that has ascended to

godhood. Regardless, Asgorath is revered by dragons

of all kinds. He is also worshiped by half dragons,

when she told them to mine precious stones, Kurtulmak

taught himself sorcery to divine where minerals were

located. When Caesinsjach's lair was finished, and she had

become the wealthiest dragon in creation, she let the

kobolds go free. In emulation of his former mistress,

Kurtulmak immediately began mining a lair for himself.

Although he never asked for help, every kobold he ever

worked with came to his aid. Kurtulmak found a spot with a

near limitless supply of metal ore and precious stones. With

Kurtulmak commanding the operation, it quickly became

Kurtulmak is the lawful evil or lawful neutral (depending on
which branch) patron god of kobolds. Interesting enough,
there are two branches of worship that revere him.
The first one is practiced by the wild kobolds, who preach
that Kurtulmak tirelessly drives kobolds to make war upon
gnomes, in retaliation for a prank the gnomish deity Garl
Glittergold pulled on him. This version of Kurtulmak is
known to have neither compassion nor a sense of humor.
Their symbol is a gnome's skull pierced with an iron stake.
The second branch is practiced by the more civilized
kobolds, in which Kurtulmak is of lawful neutral alignment.
It tells that Kurtulmak is a victim of a cowardly act by Garl
Glittergold, but that one day their people will rise up and
bring him to justice. Their holy symbol is the head of a
kobold with golden eyes, and two crossed pickaxes.
