For more Patch 7 details, please check the pinned comment

This mod adds a Claw and a Bite attack to Dragonborn to finally allow them to take

advantage of those sharp talons and pointy teeth that Larian generously blessed them with.

There are a total of 5 damage types - Acid, Lightning, Poison, Fire, and Cold.

Which type of Claw & Bite attack each Dragonborn subrace gains access to depends

on their natural damage affinity in Vanilla BG3.

All attacks feature customized VFX.

Draconic Claws

Dragonborn gain access to Draconic Claws at level 1.

Draconic Claws use the character's Spellcasting Ability for their Attack roll. They scale similarly to cantrips to allow them

to remain useful throughout the entirety of the game. They require a Bonus Action to use.

At level 1, Draconic Claws deal 1d4 slashing damage + 4 elemental damage.

The elemental damage dealt by this attack depends on the subrace:

Acid - Black & Copper

Lightning - Blue & Bronze

Poison - Green

Fire - Red, Gold & Brass

Cold - White & Silver

The damage scales as follows

(min dmg-max dmg)

Level 1-3: 1d4 + 4 (5-8) | Level 4-5: 1d6 + 5 (6-11)

Level 6-7: 2d4 + 6 (8-14) | Level 8-9:
