📋 About This Mod

Said to be descended from Bahamut, these Dragonborn can spew searing radiant flames and have resistance to Radiant damage.

This new Dragonborn subrace has the following features:

  • []Draconic Ancestry: Radiant Damage Resistance

    []Radiant Breath (Cone or Line), same as other Breath Weapon attacks from Dragonborn but of the Radiant damage type. (Uses same VFX as Dazzling Breath)

    []Their default appearance has a unique scale color: a Dark silver/grayish with a golden tone

    []If used in combination with my Dragonborn and Breath Weapon Enhanced mod (they are compatible; load this mod BEFORE that one) then the Radiant Breath has the following extra features: the breath extinguishes ordinary fires and if targets fail the associated saving throw they get Branded, emiting a light 2 meters around them and becoming unable to go invisible.

  • Starts with the Bahamut tag and Bahamut as their deity but to make sure you fully unlock all the Bahamut-exclusive dialogue I recommend you use the optional file for that very purpose.

    NOTE: Goes great with my Platinum Draconic Bloodline for Sorcerers mod, which a similarly-themed draconic ancestry option for that subclass.
