Chromatic Dragonborn

Description

Chromatic dragonborn as the name implies, came from the Chromatic Dragons. Their types are black, blue, green, red and white. Each chromatic type had differences but they all shared a perspective that put them above others, resulting in evil tendencies. To a good extend, this has passed to their dragonborn descendants. Chromatic dragonborn, feature vibrant scales and their breath weapons are concentrated in single lines of energy.

Genetics

Chromatic dragonborn are often inclined towards evil alignments. That stems from an inner idea of superiority over other creatures, seeing them as lesser.

Reputation

Same as other dragonborn, they are feared warriors and considered a proud and noble race. Within the dragonborn societies, it is known that when something goes wrong, there's a chromatic dragonborn behind it.
