D&D 5E Unearthed Arcana: Draconic Options

The latest Unearthed Arcana from WotC is called Draconic Options. It includes three variant Dragonborn races and a new kobold race, as well as a handful of new spells and feats. Dragonlance fans might do a double-take when they see Fizban's platinum shield (two Forgotten Realms dragons are referenced in the spells, too -- Icingdeath and Raulothim -- as is the FR god of fey dragons, Nathair)...

Harness the power of dragons in this installment of Unearthed Arcana! This playtest document presents race, feat, and spell options related to dragons in Dungeons & Dragons.

First is a trio of draconic race options presented as an alternative to the dragonborn race in the Player’s Handbook, as well as a fresh look at the kobold race. Then comes a handful of feat options that reflect a connection to draconic power. Finally, an assortment of spells—many of them bearing the names of famous or infamous dragons—offer a variety of approaches to manifesting dragon magic.

And Drizzt named the frost brand scimitar he got from the fight after the dragon.

(Seriously, his scimitars are named Twinkle and Icingdeath)
Good gravy. I have a hard time imagining Twinkle as a serious name for a sword even when the books were written, let along in this post-Twilight twinkle-vampire world.

I think between this ad the gothic option and fey option... Maybe we're looking at a big book of character races?
The gothic options are for the Ravenloft book.

I'm going to guess that the fey stuff is going to be separate from the dragon stuff. Maybe they'll finally do a Feywild book.

Really don't like breath weapon being part of the Attack action. Dragonborn is also a subpar choice, and that relegates them to being choices for classes with Extra Attack only.

Any idea who Nathair and Raulothim are? I'm not up to date with iconic D&D Dragon NPCs.
Raulothim is FR and is a gem dragon the other guy who knows.

it should be a bonus action or a reaction option.

Breath weapon fails to scale on the Dragon Spirit.

I like the "name the creature for disadvantage" thing.

Most of the concentration spells are not worth the slot and concentration cost.
