Welcome one and all to the Dragonborn Subrace Compendium!
This mod adds in 10 new subraces for Dragonborn that are all based and inspired by the Dragons of D&D's rich history and those forgotten by time. This mod adds two main sets of Dragonborn subraces, those based on Dragons that are in 5e but don't have a Dragonborn ancestry linked to them, or Dragon's that were in previous editions that didn't make the leap to 5e. Many of these Subraces have weird or unique breath weapons that will change the way you play them.
REMEMBER TO LOAD THIS MOD AFTER THE FIZBANS MOD OR ANY OTHER MODS THAT CHANGE BREATH WEAPONS.

Also please bare in mind that this mod comes with two files. The first is designed to be used with 3xc4l1b3r's Fizban's Treasury of Dragons mod (Either the Gem Dragonborn or just the Breath Weapon Improvements versions will work fine) and the second is more based on how the base game handles Dragonborn Subraces and their breath weapon akin to the PHB.
The PHB Version will also be more in line with the PHB in general so most subraces will only gain their Breath weapon and resistances if they have any.
