It's all too easy to prefer a certain color of dragonborn, but what's inside is what really matters — which is to say, the sort of damage their breath can do to you.

Features
This mod adapts dragonborn content from the D&D 5e sourcebook "Fizban's Treasury of Dragons" to the game.
Content currently included:
  • Improvements to all dragonborn breath weapons: it can be used <proficiency bonus> times per long rest (starts at 2), scales damage on d10s, and can be used as part of the Extra Attack feature!
  • Gem dragonborn: Amethyst, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz dragonborn subraces, each with a new breath weapon.
  • Gem dragonborn 5th level racial feature: Gem Flight, which allows you to fly for a short time.
  • A new 5th level feature for chromatic dragonborn: Chromatic Warding, which allows you to become temporarily immune to your draconic element.
  • A new 5th level feature for metallic dragonborn: Metallic Breath Weapon, an additional breath weapon to incapacitate foes or push them away.

But I'm not done yet! I plan to continue working on the mod until I'm satisfied. For example, subrace icons and custom scale colors for the gem dragonborn are in my todo list. Stay tuned for that!

I may even adapt more content from the sourcebook, who knows?

Requirements
Extra attack functionality requires Extra Attack Compatibility (EAC).
If the breath weapon charge icons appear as small red stars, make sure your version of Improved UI is the most recent release, and you have the "Assets" optional file.
Note: I have experienced a strange issue in testing where having the 'Assets' file in the Mods folder causes all action resource icons (including action and bonus action) to disappear completely. If you experience this bug, remove the Improved UI Assets pak file from your Mods folder.

Compatibility
This mod is compatible with other mods which modify dragonborn. You should put this mod below them in your load order, though.
Other mods which modify DataTemplates.xaml (except for Improved UI) are not compatible. Fortunately, that file only controls UI changes. In the case of this mod, icons for breath weapon charges will appear as red stars if another mod overwrites that file, but otherwise the features will be unchanged.

Help?
I wouldn't mind some help with the assets for this mod. The new action icons are my best attempts, but far from perfect. I'll also accept assistance with subrace icons, skin color values, and maybe even models for new horn types? Anything and everything is appreciated!
