The most evident proof for kobolds' lofty claim of direct descent from dragons is the rare occurrence of dragonwrought kobolds. With their eggs marked by the color of their dragon ancestor, such blessed kobolds are impossible to miss -- particularly once they grow draconic wings and hued scales.

On some rare occasions, dragonwrought kobolds have even been elevated to positions of true divinity -- such as in the case of Kuraulyek, patron deity of urds, who ascended to godhood in the kobold pantheon. Kuraulyek betrayed the kobold species in favor of his urds, however, and his infamy is a reminder to dragonwrought kobolds to remember their origins.

In kobold society, which is innately well-ordered and reverent of dragons, it should come as little surprise that leadership comes naturally to dragonwrought kobolds. With long lifespans, impressive wings, and a direct connection to the kobolds' gods and masters, dragonwrought kobolds are subjects of envy and awe from their underlings.

The appearance of a dragonwrought kobold egg is considered a blessing of the gods. In kobold society, which believes in reincarnation through service to one's superiors, a dragonwrought kobold is also often believed to be the new incarnation of some great hero in a past life. Since the average kobold tribe is rarely equipped to raise dragonwrought kobolds (and since they are usually a threat to existing leaders), such eggs are often delivered to sacred mines and temples, where the dragonwrought hatchlings can be trained to soar and lead.

All kobolds have an innate sorcerous heritage, but dragonwrought kobolds' close connection to dragons makes theirs stronger than most. Dragonwrought kobolds live five to ten times as long as normal kobolds, and have powers more closely related to true dragons than many of their more lizardlike kin.

Dragonwrought Kobold Traits

As a dragonwrought kobold, you share some traits with your kobold brethren, but gain other unique skills.

Ability Score Improvement. Your Charisma score increases by 2, your Dexterity score increases by 1, and your Strength score is reduced by 2.

Age. Dragonwrought kobolds reach adulthood at age 6, but have natural lives far greater than regular kobolds. Those descended from chromatic dragons can live as many as 600 years, while those descended from metallic dragons might live for over over a thousand.

Alignment. As with their kobold kin, dragonwrought kobolds are fundamentally selfish, making them evil. Their ordered society and natural expectations of leadership make them trend toward law.

Size. Dragonwrought kobolds are slightly taller than normal kobolds, averaging at about three feet tall. Your size is Small.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Dragon Wings. You have dragon-like wings that you can use to slow your fall or allow you to glide. When you fall and aren't incapacitated or prone, you can subtract up to 100 feet from the fall when calculating falling damage, and you can move up to 2 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend.

When you reach 5th level, your wings mature to fully support your weight, and you gain a flying speed of 30 feet. To use this speed, you can't be wearing medium or heavy armor.

Pack Tactics. You have advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

True Dragon. Your creature type is dragon, rather than humanoid. You have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence dragons or kobolds.
