Dragonborn are a bit weaker than most other races, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons fixed this, however I wasn't a fan of some of their feats and felt some of them were TOO strong for balancing reasons.
I also gave them Darkvision, cuz why wouldn't Dragon's be able to see in the dark?
First and foremost this mod would not be possible without 3XC4L1B3R's mod. Although it has not aged well in terms of compatibility, I aim to fix this and bring a bit of my own flavor.

- Gem dragonborn: Amethyst, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz dragonborn subraces, each with a new breath weapon.
- New scale colors: 3 for each gem subrace, for a total of 15.

New Feats
These feats must be taken in place of an Ability Score Improvement.

This also allows non-Dragonborn characters to gain a Dragon Breath.
