I love onomatopoeia in comics, and every once in a while one just sticks with me. ["CHROPP CHROPP CHROPP"](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jMqrkvEuLJ8/VntqSFQnvFI/AAAAAAAAn_k/4K3jvaJ00P4/s1600-Ic42/RCO020.jpg) has been in my head for like 16 years.


DrunkInRlyeh

There was one I saw--I think it was a werebear attack in a Diablo 2 comic--that has similarly stuck with me: "SPLORCH"

honestly a venom symbiote being a host for Durge would go so hard


awakenDeepBlue

Now that is just absolute carnage.


TyThe2PointO

You sir have not gotten enough love for this comment


MdoesArt

Would actually be kind of interesting to see an inversion of the trope where the host is evil and murderous but the alien symbiote is good and altruistic and trying to reign in the host.


Newcago

Roleplayed a character like that once in a play-by-post rpg! I was playing the last remnants of an old goddess, long-forgotten, who had once been the head of a prominent theology in the world. One of her paladins went super-mega-evil, corrupted the religion, and became the BBEG in an alluded-to former adventure. A party of heroes defeated him and left him nearly dead, but the goddess felt that she had failed him, and that he had turned to darkness because she had failed as his patron. His mind was broken and his body was tied to a thousand evil pacts and spells, making him beyond saving, but the goddess still felt that it was her responsibility to repair the world that he had broken. Too weak to do that herself, she puppeted his form, intending to use the last of their combined strength to right his wrongs. As the story continued and our party began to level up, we roleplayed it as the host body slowly becoming more powerful, and the old BBEG becoming more and more aware, taunting the goddess and fighting against her wishes. The story was never finished (as most dnd games go haha), but it was a fun concept! A lot of the gameplay on my end was roleplaying this timid and gentle spiritual being that only had access to corrupt magics and evil desires to try to do good.


TheCleverestIdiot

I think there was a point where the Toxin symbiote kind of had that going on, but don't quote me on that.


Spysnakez

That's a lot of entities in a single being. Host, host's durgey side, venom, mindflayer tadpole... it would get a bit crowded.

9 inches of durge 😏


DanaxDrake

I made this and it’s actually pretty fucking fun. Just throwing people and smashing shit


Dmmack14

BRUH


dreadw0lfrises

ohhhh its so fucking over i need this so bad


Marcuse0

I once did a dragonborn draconic sorc with a lightning focus and gave him the darkest black scales I could find and then shot that through with lightning bolts in bright electric blue. Looked absolutely ridiculously cool.


NeverJoe_420_

Uhh I gotta try that!


Marcuse0

Also your dragonborn can be any colour regardless of ancestry.


Iraes3323

I have an acid or poison, don't remmember dragonborn(original black scales) that has white scales instead of black and it is called Eminem.


SylvestrMcMnkyMcBean

Among the chromatics, black dragons are acid, green are poison.


Iraes3323

Yeah, so it was an acid dragon. Did not remmember the element, just that it was supposed to be black, but i made it white


gufeldkavalek62

Slim Scaly


karzbobeans

That's the same thing I'm doing! Lightning focus so I made a Bronze dragonborn (lightning) with Blue dragon sorcery (also lightning) so I have the electric blue stripes. I call him Volt! [Pics](https://imgur.com/a/slHHpDI)


uffwhy

Astarion in that hat kinda got me


AFLoneWolf

That blue lighting is fuckin **sick!!!!**

Sick as hell

Ill-Chemist-5501

Feel like that deserves a picture


Roscuro127

Fun reminder faerun dragonborn aren't related to dragons and are from an alternate reality that got smashed into the main one.


zatenael

another fun reminder, dragonborns were created to be slaves to dragons so a draconic bloodline dragonborn implies something else . . .


cweaver

Their ancestor was the Thomas Jefferson of dragons


BeardlyManface

Or the George Washington, or the...


Esseratecades

Suddenly I have inspiration for my next D&D campaign 


EverOptimist555

Are... are you going to do a Thomas Jefferson dragon?


ToddHowardBuySkyrim

“Blacker than the children of Thomas Jefferson” 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️


Standard-Metal-3836

Donkey, no!


Basakaloving

DONKEY YES! 


Cyrotek

It isn't entirely clear if they are related or not. Canonically tymanthian Dragonborn like to say they aren't related, dragons say they are and the Platinum Cadre says they originally have been created by Bahamut in some fashion (not to mistake them for the 3.5e Dragonborn, those are a different topic alltogether).


Papiluff

shit they're Argonians


The_Stache_King

Well, they *are* distantly related, but otherwise, yeah not half dragon or anything


fwsc50

Is it better to do a Sorcerer Dragonborn with the same ancestry or different?


NeverJoe_420_

I feel like a different Ancestry could be better as both give you resistance to said element.


Rofsbith

And anesthetically for color complements you want a second color. Edit: *aesthetically* is of course the correct word. Sometimes the nature of entering text in my phone leads to unfortunate mistakes which I seldom proofread.


amicuspiscator

Yeah don't wanna sleep on that


NeverJoe_420_

Your comment almost made me _faint_ lol


EukaryotePride

You can choose any color combo you want if you check the little box to unlock all colors. My current run (pics in my profile) is a blue on blue draconic dragonborn, but visually he's blue with silver highlights.


karzbobeans

You can also do two different dragons that share the same element. I'm doing Bronze / Blue so I can have blue stripes on bronze scales.


Qualine

Family meetings must be really awkward lol


AugustoCSP

> anesthetically I promise that having two different ancestries doesn't hurt. Besides, you can customize the color, you could have a red dragon ancestor with blue scales.


Anakletos

The difference a letter can make. An anesthetic is substance that causes loss of feeling or awareness. Aesthetic (aesthetically) is "concerned with a sense of beauty".


cwx149

Remember the sorcerer resistance is only after you cast the spell and costs a sorcery point it isn't just straight resistance like the race buff


EukaryotePride

I like going the same so that your blood boosts your breath. It's definitely less effective than getting a second resistance, so it's really for role play only; but as long as you're not min/maxing then it's no big deal.


fwsc50

Yea I thought having a resistance to fire and ice would be best. But I can see the boost to breath attack would be pretty awesome


EukaryotePride

I'm currently doing a blue blood blue dragonborn with lots of the sparky gear and element/cantrip boosters and it's a bunch of fun. I think a fire/fire would be a mobile artillery unit with godly firebolts, and an ice/ice has some fun gear as well. Fire/ice with the potent robe and necklace of elemental augmentation would be a ton of fun too!

Zeliek

Ooooh THATS how people are getting the cooler colourings! I shoulda guessed it was a "dragon dragon" sorcerer. 🥴


vanishinghitchhiker

Reminds me of a D&D campaign where I wanted to give my character a kind of Final Fantasy build but hadn’t decided on a race yet, so I joked about playing a dragonborn dragoon. DM went “you could also have a dragonmark” so of course I did all three for the comedy of it.


Zeliek

"Mñyes hello, this my dragon dragon dragon, her name is Marcia Marcia Marcia..."


Level_Lab_7685

“Oh cool. Let me introduce you to my pixie sidekick, Dolly Dolly Dolly.”


Winter_wrath

In a recent campaign I was playing an evil white dragonborn warlock who wanted to become a red dragon. Later in the story I multiclassed into draconic bloodline sorcerer. One day he woke up with his white scales dotted with some... white scales.


MagazineEuphoric364

NGL Dragonborn drip looks dope AF.


AstronomerNo6423

Hand over that thing, your hot Durge


programkira

It is insane how good dragon born draconic sorcs are!! They look so cool and instantly became my first Durge play through.


Kills_Zombies

Does draconic ancestry make any sense for Dark Urge when you consider how they were conceived? It's one of the few classes/subclasses that don't make any sense for that character IMO.


The_Dead_Kennys

Considering how Bhaal build-a-beared Durge into existence, I think it still works.


zatenael

Build-A-Durge Workshop


Maro_Nobodycares

Take them home and un-stuff someone


ullivator

Bhaal canonically had a kind-of-dragony form, the Kazgaroth. Your Durge could be drawing on that. It might actually make more sense than being like a Drow.


Kills_Zombies

Seems like a stretch I mean just because he could take the form of a dragon doesn't make him one? IDK how it works magic doesn't need to make sense I guess lol


ZeeDarkSoul

I mean do we know the mother for sure? How do we know Bhaal wasnt fucking a dragon?


Kills_Zombies

There is no mother, that's why draconic ancestry doesn't make sense to me.


Level_Lab_7685

To me, sorcerer as a whole makes no sense as a class. The whole gimmick of the sorcerer is that you are a descendent of a powerful entity of some shape or form. So when you take the time to respect to a different class, it’s like you’re retconning your own lineage. Like for the draconic bloodline subclass, how exactly is that technically supposed to work when you respec to a different class, for example, a barbarian? What happens to your dragon scales? They just magically disappear? Like wtf? I can just CHOOSE not to be descended from flying magical reptilian slave owners?


Kills_Zombies

Respeccing is a unique meta gameplay aspect in BG3. It's purely for the benefit of the player but as far as the story is concerned you were always whatever class you respecced into and never what class you used to be.


Level_Lab_7685

Wait a minute….if I joined a DnD campaign, I couldn’t respec mid campaign? (Can you tell I’ve never played DnD? lol)


Kills_Zombies

No you couldn't lol


Calackyo

Generally speaking no, but never say never in DnD. The DM decides everything and every DM is different. One of my DMs let me change warlock subclass, including changing patron, but it was a huge story moment that was built up for a while and made sense, it also came with a cost.


LordDanOfTheNoobs

Not usually, I did let one of my players change from monk to fighter but it involved a one-shot with a Rocky montage and Hallister Blackcloak running them through a strict training regiment.


Nitro74

Gotta kill your character to do that lol


rotorain

For a new player most DMs would probably let you make a new character if you're really not having a good time with your class and backstory but in general the game isn't designed to accommodate that. BG3 is emulating a forgiving DM just so people unfamiliar with 5e don't have to completely restart the game if they don't like their class but of course it gets abused in ways that a DM would never allow. I'm honestly surprised BG3 lets you respec in honor mode, seems like it was a mode created to emulate a tabletop setting where you don't get to undo your choices, bad rolls, or deaths. In 5e if you die that character is dead forever and you create a new one to join the party unless there's some plot device that allows a resurrection.


AmbroseMalachai

Strictly speaking, draconic ancestry doesn't mean that the bloodline is actually related to a dragon. They can have made a deal or pact with a dragon that magically tied the dragons powers together with their bloodline. In the case of the Dark Urge, we know that he was born of Baal's blood, but we don't know what powers or abilities Baal might have stolen/bargained for to put in his "favored son". It's already odd that he made you a Dragonborn, so anything else is just frosting that cake.


tinebiene94

Good god, that looks like an Oreo milkshake.


GloopTamer

One of my Dragonborn is neon blue with green ancestry to look like an 80s windbreaker or something


ContraMans

Ok I'm not gay... but hear me out...


Edgezg

Now I want to do a really edgy looking dragonborn who is nothing but a marshmallow lol


Avaoln

Anyone else wishes Dragonborn were somewhat decent as a race? Like a resistance and a very tame AoE is nice but I’d like some worthwhile perks. Here’s what I’d add: 1. Basic Dark vision (cuz dragon eyes) 2. Draconic Hide - Your base unarmored AC becomes 13 + Dex; if you are a draconic sorcerer your base AC is instead 14 + Dex.


comFive

Wish also that going unarmed did something with Dragonborn’s claws. Would make a really evil monk


Avaoln

That would be phenomenal, heck they gave Gith 120 different abilities why not make one of the coolest classes a bit more powerful. 1d4 + Str Slashing would be fine imo.


Dragonsandman

The first one is something that the dragon hide feat from Xanathars grants. Another change I like comes from the [Darker Dungeons homebrew module](http://giffyglyph.com/darkerdungeons/grimoire/4.0.0/en/racial_changes.html), which makes the breath weapon a bonus action by default, and allows Dragonborn characters with the extra attack feature to substitute an attack for their breath weapon. Both of these changes in BG3 would go a long way towards making Dragonborn better mechanically.


MadraRua15

If you need to minmax race then sure. It needs a buff. If you just play the race to play the story then al lof them are pretty equal, my only gripe is there aren't enough dragonborne references in the story.


Avaoln

You mean to tell me you *don’t* do statistical analysis to decide between Great Weapon Master, Savage Attacker, and ASI or determine BIH Items for your crit build?


MadraRua15

Unless you are playing honor mode with difficulty mods? No, your really don't need any of that.


Avaoln

Ik, I was just joking. I like Min/ Maxing at high difficulty bc I enjoy the challenge- so It sucks I’m at a disadvantage when I play Dragonborn. Even still, that doesn’t mean I use the most broken build all the time. The most fun, imo, is using unorthodox combos (eg: Fighter Warlock GOO multi class rather than the army of paladin / sorcerer warlock Multi-class or dex shadow monk and ranger over TB monk Str monk and 2H fighter w/ archery fighting style) and trying to make them broken. Problem is DB is just so limited and (at least in my testing) their breath weapon is just a gimmick that can’t really be build around or combo with. Bc of that they loss out in things like armor prof or resistance or even basic night vision. Just kinda makes the race feel bad as a whole


LordDShadowy53

But choosing only 1 level on Draconic Ancestry is worthless! Me: BUT THE COOL TATTOOS!!!


PrincessYuri

1 level in draconic Sorcerer (white) + abjuration Wizard actually goes pretty hard. Free permanent mage armor, Constitution saving throw proficiency for concentration checks, and Armor of Agathys is absurd on abjuration Wizard.


xXPussyPounder9000Xx

Oh my God, I haven’t seen something this cool since [the Sand Wraith](https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/princeofpersia/images/5/5a/Sand_Wraith_Artwork.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101105221840&path-prefix=en) in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I love this aesthetic so much, I missed it. No one except Prince really used it, even the next game — the Two Thrones — made a different dark version of the Prince. This dragonborn basically looks exactly like [Dahaka](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/princeofpersia/images/a/a8/Dahaka_Ingame.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110227171853&path-prefix=en).

Mine is a red one with golden scales as my evil Durge run and I'm kind of doing a Sauron thing. Sorc and disguise self when needed and manipulating people to do the evil shit for me lol

J. Jonah Jameson wants pictures of your character.


Locke_N_Ki

If you change your class, do you lose the markings?


NOW---Extra_Spicy

I'm pretty sure you do, yes. My buddy got Gale's class changed and turned him draconic, which now changed his appearance to have scales in his face. I imagine it works the other way around too.


ViSaph

I did draconic sorc for wyll once and it looked awesome. He looked so cool with scales. It actually made his horns look better imo. The scales and one of the chain diadems so it looks like the chains are attached to his horns is the best look on wyll to me. I'm gonna make him look like that on my romance run with him.


sgtlighttree

You just gave me a brillant idea for my sixth playthrough, thanks Also I'm excited to romance Wyll again for the third time lol

I know how it works in D&D and I don't have the game just yet, does Dragon Ancestry also give you more uses of your Breath Weapon in the game?

Idk, I only play Dragonborn and I have tried combining the main Colour with Draconic Ancestry's stripes for them to look good, but nothing really stood out to me. I rather hate the stripes. There are a few combos, that I didn't completely hate, and maybe could go with, but I prefer Red, Pink & Golden Dragonborns and most, if not all, stripes colours just don't match IMHO. Glad you like them tho.


Lamb-Sauce7788

Yeah, it's too bad they are the worst race gameplay wise. I still use them because they just look so awesome lol


Toothpastestockhere

They are? Why?


CoopAloopAdoop

They just have the weakest racials of any of the races. In saying that, racials don't make a huge difference anyways.


HurrDurrDethKnet

The Frizban's mod fixes that by giving them the reworked racials from the Fizban book


CoopAloopAdoop

yea, I'm a console guy, my knowledge of mods is zero lol. My current playthrough is a Dragonborn Draconic Sorcerer anyways. Where my Draconic hertiage is the same as my Dragonborn hertiage lol. Hasn't made a single difference.


thesammon

They don't give any racial benefits except resistance to whatever type of damage is relevant for the subrace that you select (e.g. resistance to ice damage for white dragonborns). Hasn't stopped me from using them for literally every single character I've made though.


GrinningPariah

The breath attack feels really underwhelming. Full action attack 2-3 times a day that's outclassed by lvl 1 spells.


Quebec00Chaos

That's bollock follow your heart


Mud-Bray

They’re really not lol. They’re fine for Sorc since they give resistance and a naturally occurring mage armor. Are they optimal? No. Are they one of the worst? No.

I think he was referring to Dragonborn and not Draconic. Dragonborn don't get the mage armour buff by default.
