D&D 5E Dragonborn settlements/nations

Are they reptilian by nature? Do they lay eggs? Do they care for their offspring? These questions would very much influence the kind of how their society and nations could be structured.

Theoretically they are "repto-mammals". Any sentient or humanoid can't be cold-blood because the brain needs a lot of calories and then a higher metabolism. No coldblood animal can evolutionate to a sentient intelligence.

ahm but kobolds and trogs and lizardmen do lay eggs and they do not seem to have metabolic probs?

Platypus and echidnas are oviparous mammals. Some reptiles are ovoviviparous (eggs remain in mother's body until they are ready to hatch).

And in D&D humanoid tribes could be helped by deities they pray, their clerics and shamans would be their "healthcare". More children means more followers.

.....

Those are not by chance the latin words for kobolds and lizardmen? Nah joke aside, would these humanoid reptiles which definitely procreate by laying eggs be rightfully coldblooded (no matter if they are not for game purposes just deriving from the info from your posts) ?
