Similar to how 3.5's dragonborn creation worked.I'm a little fuzzy on the details of that discussion, but I remember being impressed on how it was worked out. The creator's idea was that either race has certain draconic qualities, and that finding a patron dragon and advancing that dragon's goals would be repaid with the dragon performing/using a magical ritual to change the character into a young dragon. In a Facebook group discussion I had a few months back, a worldbuilding theory was advanced that Kobolds and Dragonborn are really neophyte dragon hatchlings, IIRC. If I did agree to that, I'd say metallic based half dragons would have to choose between the damaging/CC breath weapon.Can't wait to hear what you all have to say! How To Become A Half Dragon 5e Pdf

I think that giving a player the breath weapon of wyrmling might be too powerful. I was thinking of just upgrading it to recharge on a 5-6. Dragonborn's breath weapons is fairly weak, but it's a racial feature so that makes sense. Should all the features of the template be allowed?My thoughts would be to give darkvision but not blindsight and the resistance would be the same they receive from being a dragonborn. My question to you all is: what level would this be appropriate for? I feel like combining this template with some of the other races would be too powerful, but I think it fits and almost makes sense with the dragonborn.The entry says there are other ways to become a half-dragon aside from being born one, so I was thinking of allowing this to be a quest for dragonborn players. So when looking through the Monster Manual I saw that the Half-dragon is technically a template that can be applied to any race. I've always felt that dragonborn got the short end of the stick this edition with the limited number of racial features they received (especially compared with races like the genasi or the tieflings). I think with prestige classes in fifth edition, we are provided a way to offer players additional rewards as their characters advance.I’m taking the approach of prestige classes basically being archetypes with prerequisites that players will need to consider in advance. Thoughts on Prestige Classes in D&D 5th EditionMany of the prestige classes of the past such as Assassin, Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight are now just archetypes for the base classes in fifth edition. We decided he is going to try to control the curse versus curing it, so we thought a Werewolf Prestige Class might be a good player option to help his character progress from uncontrolled transformation to mastering his curse and unlocking new abilities.

A recent Unearthered Arcana article introduced playtest material for us to create. I’m working with one of my players who was bitten, scratched and nearly killed by a werewolf.

Prestige classes were introduced in third edition as a further means of individualizing a character.
