TheDragonborn


Dragons are strong. They have the power to save the world. Dragons are wise. They have the foresight to save the world. Dragons are greedy. They do not want to save the world if nothing is in it for them.

So they won’t. Instead, I will. I have the power of the dragons, and they have named me their champion. I am here to save the world on their behalf. I will do what they have decided is beneath them, and I will become glorious.

This Overlord is my stepping stone. Their war and their plans amount to nothing before the fire of dragons. We will defeat them. We will destroy them.

I will take my place in history as the greatest champion this world has ever known.
I am the Dragon, champion of fire, and my enemies will burn.




The Dragon is fire, and everything you could use to describe fire describes you: impressive, brilliant, comforting, warm, bright, unstoppable, destructive, devastating, terrible, all-consuming. These are the things that Dragons are.

Dragonborn Core Moves:
All Dragonborn have the following Move:

Champion of Fire
You do not have your own People. You once did, but no longer.
Instead, you can Command Lore about the glory of the dragons, their place in the world, and the magnificent feats they have performed throughout history.



The Dragon has eleven Custom moves to choose from instead of eight, and chooses four of them during character creation instead of two. When a Move tells someone they may take a Core Move from any basic playbook, Dragonborn Custom Moves you have taken count as Core Moves.

This Move cannot be Shared.


What Is A Dragonborn? Choose the option that best represents your people:

 A Champion, Chosen
You were not related to the Dragons, until they chose you as their champion. Take a Core Move from any other basic playbook. That playbook’s Core and Custom Moves count as Dragon Custom Movesfor you, and you may take Moves from that playbook that cannot be Shared.

 A Dragon, Reborn
You used to be one of the true dragons, glorious and unstoppable, and for one reason or another, you have been reduced to this lesser form you now hold. Describe your form and how you were weakened.
Your Fire Gear Option does not have the Reload tag, and you may choose as many options as you’d like from the first two Dragonborn Gear lists. This does not grant you extra Uses of Armor.

 A Hatchling, Newborn
You are a newborn, the child of at least one dragon. You have limited control over your great strength, when you unleash it. You may add the Dangerous tag to any attack you make, before rolling.

6 A Kobold, Ascended
Your people are the lesser dragons, the servants of dragons, and you have stood above the crowd. Unlike the other Dragons, you have a people you can Command Lore about - the Kobolds and their culture.

You add a Group of Kobold Spear-Wielders to your Gear. You have one Bond with them.
When you gain the Fellowship of a kobold community, the GM should offer you Fellowship Moves from the main book.

Halfling or Goblinkin Fellowship Moves are especially appropriate.

Choose your armaments; all are Melee and Armor (1 Use):
 Your customized spear and polished shield.
 Your mighty claws and hardened scales.

A Dragon’s FellowshipThe Dragon’s Fellowship is not quite the same as that of the others.
Dragons don’t usually have communities. They are not so populousorso social as other societies. So, earning a Dragon’s Fellowshipmostlyinvolves helping or impressing a single dragon- the Fellowshipyouearn represents the direct aid of a single, individual dragon.
Unlike other Fellowships, a Dragon’s Fellowship is determinedbywho they are. When you meet a new Dragon, the Overlord will offeryou three Fellowship moves, and you choose which Dragontheyarefrom the moves available. Feel free to rename themas necessary.

and each of their stats can be damaged twice.
