Dragonborn are a playable race in Baldur's Gate 3. They have resistance to a type of energy damage, and are able to make deadly breath weapon attacks. These abilities are affected by their dragonborn subrace. Dragonborn resemble draconic humanoids, can have scales in a variety of colours, and may or may not have a tail.

“
A proud race that values clan and skills above all else. Once enslaved by dragons, they strive to be self-sufficient, not wanting to be beholden to anyone, not even the gods.

About dragonborn[edit section | visual editor]

Dragonborn are a race of draconic mortals native to Abeir, the twin world of Toril given over to the primordials in ancient times.[1] For millennia, their ancestors lived in bondage under draconic overlords until the cataclysmic Spellplague Spellplague transplanted their nation of Tymanther Tymanther directly onto Faerûn.[2]

Frequently defined by clan loyalty and individual honor, most dragonborn hold self-reliance as a central virtue. Driven by the history of their enslavement, many abhor dragons and view religious devotion with skepticism.[3] Whether their scales reflect chromatic or metallic heritage,[4] dragonborn strive to prove their worth through personal mastery rather than the patronage of higher powers.
