Dragonborn Races

Kindred Races (Dragonborn)

Step 1—Choose a Core Race / Advanced Race

These races, while not as common as the Core Races, make up 10% or so of the other races PCs will encounter in a given game world. They tend to live outside the civilized realms of man, existing along the fringes of society or in the seedy underworlds of city and Underearth. Ask your GM before creating a PC from one of these races.
