Dungeons & Dragons is testing out some major changes to one of its core classes. Earlier today, Wizards of the Coast released a sizable Dungeons & Dragons Unearthed Arcana playtest filled with new Draconic Options. The new playtest completely overhauls the Dragonborn and Kobold player races, bringing them in line with the recent design changes started in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything and providing several new useful abilities. The playtest introduces three new ancestries that serve as unofficial sub-races for Dragonborn. Chromatic Dragonborn have a breath weapon and can gain a temporary immunity to a specific kind of damage associated with their draconic ancestry. Meanwhile, Metallic Dragonborn gain a secondary breath weapon that can push creatures away from them and knock them prone or incapacitate them. Finally, the newly introduced Gem Dragonborn have limited psionic abilities and can temporarily gain the ability to fly.
