For an Alternative, Dragonborn Enhanced
Bored of Dragonborns? Wish you actually felt more like a Dragon?
Well, this mod aims to make Dragonborns feel not only unique and powerful, but also at least a little balanced.
Dragonbreath Changes
Dragonbreath now starts as 2d8 just like in the UA playtest.
To emphasize its usage, it is now once per combat and can be used with Extra Attack.
Additionally your damage increases by 1d8 with the same progression as cantrips, and your range increases as well.

Level 10 - 2 Meter (6 Feet)
Level 15 - 1 Meter (3 Feet) 9m/30ft total range

Recommended
I recommend the ImprovedUI Mod by Djmr
I also recommend using 3XC4L1B3R's Treasury of Dragons.
Compatibility
Fizban's Treasury of Dragons by 3XC4L1B3R - Patch
There are three options:
V1 - Adds Gem Dragonborns and the level 5 features for Chromatic and Metallic Dragonborns
V2 - Only adds Gem Dragonborns, Dragonbreath once per combat.
V3 - Dragonbreath will use Dragonbreath charges, All Level 1-5 features for all Dragonborn.
I recommend V2 if you want to feel more like a dragon, and V3 for a more balanced playthrough.
In addition, Gem Dragons now also get an additional feature at level 1, and 3. (Regardless of version)
Level 1
Psionic Acuity
Advantage on Intelligence Saving throws
Level 3
Gem Ancestry: Mind Rend - Class Action
2d6 Psychic Damage, Spell Save DC (Constitution + Proficiency)
Target is Stunned on Failed Save, for 2 turns.
Bonus Action, Once Per Long Rest
Other Mods
This mod will not be compatible with other mods that modify Dragonbreath or the Dragonborn SubRaces. If enough people request a compatibility patch with another mod, I may consider making a patch.
For those who are unaccustomed with modding (making mods) I recommend limiting other mods affecting Dragonborns.
