BUFF DRAGONBORN

[JIF]

pls, i love dragonborn but their breath attack is way too limited and doesnt scale at all with level, so it ends up being completely useless.

the devs really shafted dragonborn for no reason, and its a real shame. theyre by far kinda the weakest race, with no bonuses besides their incredibly garbage breath attack and resistance to only one element.

i wanna rip people apart with my teeth, have a bonus to strength or a natural armor bonus, or some draconic feats, and have my breath attack progressively get much stronger as i play.

instead i get to spit acid for a little bit of chip damage in a tiny area (that doesnt even coat the ground with acid??) and it costs a whole action instead of a bonus action, and i gotta long rest?? get outta here with that GAHRBaje

Use a mod on Nexus Mods to change how Dragonborn breathes work.

The also have resistance to the same element for both magical and non magical attacks. That can be pretty good.

You sure its doesn't scale off level?


As to the rest, that's how dragonborn are in the players handbook. They've always been a meh racial choice till the fizban splat book came out (while the game was already in development).

Honestly, Dragonborn is the weakest race imo in Players hand book.
Still I think if the Range of the Breath attack was increased it could still hold some value, though whats really needed is access to something like the Dragonborn feats.

BTW how did they go about Brass dragon compared to Gold & Red dragon breath? as if i recall right that one should be a fire line spell whe4re the other two is a fire cone spell

It's quite sad. Not only the weakest race, but there's no companion, no hirelings, and you can't even make your dream guardian one either.

Am I seriously the only one on this forum who picks a race for RP reasons instead of metagaming ones?

Edit: This is not a slight, I just think it's a tad odd. :U

no, i get u. i pick race and create my characters entirely based around RP as well. i dont care at all for metagaming, or min maxing builds.

however, i do find it quite silly that dragonborn is so weak compared to all the other races. it just doesnt sit right with me. i wanna have my cool unit of a 7 foot tall dragonborn barbarian rip apart a puny human, and for my literal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ acid breath to melt skin off of people's bones, not mildly sting them as if they were hit by the world's mildest hot sauce. i mean, its acid. when i picked black dragon i was so hyped cuz i wanted to spit acid all over and cover the area in acid to melt people, only to realize not only was the damage and range very meh, it also didnt coat the area in acid, and required long rest to get back, making it my least useful and also least used ability. a LITERAL bottle of acid you can find easily in the world and use as an AOE throwable does a better job than my dedicated racial ability, which is the only thing i get for being dragonborn.

if anything, it kinda breaks the immersion for me whenever i see how mediocre dragonborn's abilities are, altho a lot of people dont care as much as me. :p

TBF - Dragonborn's original stat bonuses were +2 strength, +1 Charisma in table top, one of the few with a bonus to strength before Tasha's came along, and later Fizbans/Volo's.

Larian decided to go with the Tasha's variant rule, for better or for worse, so anyone can have +2 strength.

yeah, i heard about that. i personally think it was dumb to do so, but some people say otherwise.

Larian removing racial stat bonuses really ♥♥♥♥♥ up some of the balance, and especially ♥♥♥♥♥ with RP stuffs for the (supposedly) physically stronger races. i hope they change it back tbh, or like, add an option for it you know?

[JIF]

altho i guess i can find a mod for it, its just kinda stinky that its not available normally. im being a little too whiny about it tho, considering this game is otherwise, besides its few major flaws, a masterpiece.

i know the developers said they dont plan on doing DLC, but now that the game is so damn successful, theres no way theyre going to ignore it after release, so im hopeful theyll come back and do some reablancing and fix some bugs.
