Dragonborn have an innate self-confidence that borders on arrogance—or crosses that border. Many individuals, of course, manage to rein in their arrogance around other races. Dragonborn often follow the nature of their dragon ancestors, being kind or cruel as their dragon ancestor would be.
Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds.

Breath Weapon (Su)
A dragonborn can use a standard action to exhale destructive energy. Their draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. The draconic energy type set by their bloodline is the same type of damage dealt by the breath weapon. A breath weapon that deals fire or cold damage takes the shape of a 15-ft. cone while acid and electricity based breath weapons are exhaled as a 30-ft. line.
A dragonborn's breath weapon deals 2d6 damage. The damage increases by 1d6 for every 5 Hit Dice the dragonborn possesses (3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 10th level, and so forth). A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the dragonborn's Hit Dice + their Constitution modifier) reduces damage by half.
After using their breath weapon, a dragonborn can’t use it again until they complete a short or long rest.
