Dragnonborn & Tiefling (Becasue it had to be done eventually...)

[Steely_Dan]

I think you need to narrow down 'Beguiling' - Tieflings probably shouldn't get advantage to disguise themselves for instance, what with the horns and all.

Hopefully they will revert to pre-4th Ed Tieflings - not pigeonholed into Devilish blood (horns and tail), one of the major antagonists in the campaign I'm running is a Tiefling of Yugoloth descent.

So, Planetouched is the way to go.

Personally I think these 2 races are a bit too good compared to the other races.

Nothing major or problematic, but I would remove Draconic Fury/Vigilance, and Rebuke plus either Bloodlust or the advantage on bluffing checks.

I would also make Dragon Breath not usable on every round, but only because of flavor, as it is I don't think it's a problem even at-will (but the range definitely needs to be reasonable, 10-20ft at most).

Overall these races are quite boring for my tastes, since almost everything is combat-focused, but I guess that this would make them very popular to most gamers.

I agree on the 'these two races seem to have too much going on'. I like all your powers and this is a problem designing such things - you can't squeeze in all options/creations.

I would go back to your heritages and taking some of these powers and assigning them to the subraces only. You said you couldn't think of an extra power - i say you already have them, just divide them up a little into subraces/heritages.

I like them. Good work.

I'd shorten the range on the dragonborn's breath (100 feet?!?), and I'd nix the rebuke ability of the tiefling. Besides that looks good though.

Points of Light blog has an interesting take on the tiefling here: Points of Light: D&D Next: Tiefling Homebrew

Thanks for the shout out. As a long-time Planescape fan, I wanted to emphasize more diverse tieflings. On that note, my homebrew compilation has a third heritage.
