Dragonborn ~ Reborn
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.
Range Increases:
Level 5 - 1 Meter (3 Feet)
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.

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.
