#1 - Amulet of Frightful Presence
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
A carved stone amulet covered in Draconic runes. You may
activate the amulet as an action to use the Frightful Presence
ability once per day. When you do this, you let out an ear-
splitting roar and the air around you turns chilly. Each
creature of your choice that is within 60 feet of you and
aware of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC
16) or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the
effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is
successful or the effect ends for it, the creatue is immune to
the amulet's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. The
amulet regains the ability to cause a Frightful Presence daily
at dawn.
#2 - Breath Weapon Collar
Wondrous item, rare
A steel collar covered in Draconic runes. While wearing the
collar, you gain two uses of your natural breath weapon
attack each time you finish a short or long rest (instead of one
use as normal). The collar has no effect on a creature who
does not have a natural breath weapon attack.
#3 - Clawed Gauntlets of the Dragon
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
A pair of steel gauntlets covered in Draconic runes. While
wearing the gauntlets, you gain the ability to make two claw
attacks as an action that deal 1d12 slashing damage each. If
both of these attacks hit the same target, you immediately
deal an extra 2d12 slashing damage as you rend the flesh of
your target. This additional rending damage does not affect
creatures who do not have flesh, such as constructs and
elementals. Additionally, the gauntlets grant you advantage
on any Strength (Athletics) checks made to grapple or to
oppose a grapple.
#4 - Cloak of the Dragonborn Mage
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a
dragonborn who is a wizard, sorcerer, or warlock)
An ornate red cloak with a draconic motif. While wearing the
cloak, you may change the damage type of any damage
dealing spell that you cast to the damage type associated with
your draconic ancestry. Whenever you cast a spell that deals
the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry
(including when changing the type using this cloak), you gain
a +2 bonus to your spell attack or the spell DC.
#5 - Greaves of Draconic Swiftness
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
A pair of steel greaves with a draconscale pattern etched
across their surface. While wearing these greaves, your
speed increases by 10 feet and you have advantage on saving
throws against breath weapon attacks. Additionally, you may
reroll a failed Dexterity saving throw. Once you have used this
ability, the greaves may not be used in this way again until the
next dawn.
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/S1WFG9JS8V?dialog=true
#6 - Ring of Scaled Resistance
Ring, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
A platinum ring with clear gemstones embedded across its
surface. When you become attuned to the ring, the
gemstones on the ring take on the color associated with your
draconic ancestry, and you have immunity (instead of
resistance) to the damage type associated with your draconic
ancestry.
#7 - Cloak of the Dragonborn Elder
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
An ornate blue cloak with a draconic motif. While wearing
this cloak, your Wisdom score increases by 2, to a maximum
of 20, and you have advantage on Wisdom checks.
Once per day, you may activate the cloak to cast augury.
Casting this spell takes 1 minute and requires that you use
sticks, bones, cards, or some other divining tool to read the
results of the spell. The cloak regains the ability to cast
augury daily at dawn.
#8 - Amulet of Draconic Health
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
A golden amulet with a large sapphire in the center and a
golden pair of stylized dragon heads facing away from each
other. Your hit point maximum increases by a number of hit
points equal to your character level. Additionally, whenever
you take a short rest, the first Hit Die of damage you heal
does not spend Hit Dice. Any additional healing spends Hit
Dice as normal. This effect works whenever you take a short
rest for as long as you wear the amulet.
#9 - Amulet of the Dragon's Voice
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn)
A steel amulet with a large ruby embeded in its center. While
wearing the amulet, your Charisma score increases by 2, to a
maximum of 20, and you have advantage on Charisma
(Intimidation) checks. As a bonus action, you may activate the
amulet to project your voice to all creatures within 300 feet.
While the amulet is activated, your words boom forth, and
even creatures who are deafened or otherwise unable to hear
receive your words as a telepathic message. The amulet can
be activated for up to 1 hour each day, and this time limit
resets daily at dawn.
#10 - Wand of Draconic Cold
Wand, rare (requires attunement by a dragonborn who is a
spellcaster)
A slender wooden wand with a marble blue dragon head on
the end. This wand has 8 charges. As an action, you may
expend a number of charges to cast either ice storm (3
charges) or the chill shield effect of fire shield (2 charges).
The wand regains 1d6+2 expended charges daily at dawn.
Additionally, if your natural breath weapon attack does not
deal cold damage, you may expend 2 charges from the wand
as a bonus action to cause your next breath weapon attack to
deal cold damage instead of your normal damage type.

draconic ancestry. When you hit a giant with one of these
scimitars, that target takes an additional 1d8 damage of the
damage type associated with your draconic ancestry (for a
total of 2d8 extra damage). For the purpose of this weapon,
"giant" refers to any creature with the giant type, including
ettins and trolls.

wings. While wielding the greataxe, you gain the ability to

barbarian, you may rage one additional time per day than
allowed by your class level. While raging, the greataxe deals
an extra 2d6 damage of the damage type associated with
your draconic ancestry. If wielded by a barbarian, the first
rage of the day while wielding the greataxe is the bonus rage
granted by the hammer. A barbarian deals the extra 2d6
damage on attacks made with the greataxe while raging even
if the rage is not granted by the greataxe.
The greataxe regains its spent rage ability daily at dawn.
