They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach Adulthood by 15.Alignment: Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil. Most dragonborn are good, but those who side with evil can be terrible villains.Size: Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging more than 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.Bite: Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.  Additionally, your are proficient with bite attacks against incapacitated targets or targets that you are grappling.Darkvision: Your draconic ancestry gives you superior vision in dark and dim Conditions.
