Four Additional Greater Dragonborn
Dragonborn are as varied as the great wyrms they're descended from. Whether its the solitary yellow dragonborn of the great deserts, the violets of the underdark, the hilly and mountainous-dwelling ironss, or urban-minded steels, there is no shortage of variety to dragonborn. This supplement is designed to work with /u/Caelreader's Greater Dragonborn supplement and uses his revision's racial stats as a baseline.
Chromatic
Violet
Often called "Deep Dragonborn," these purplish Dragonborn dwell far beneath the surface in the underdark. Every so often, adventure will compel one to the surface, usually to quell a threat to their home below.

Draconic Ancestry. Your breath weapon deals psychic damage in a 15-foot cone. Your breath weapon imposes an Intelligence saving throw. You have resistance to psychic damage.
Superior Darkvision. Accustomed to the depths of the Underdark, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 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.
Yellow
Isolationist by nature, Yellow Dragonborn primarily live in secluded enclaves or nomadic groups within large deserts. Woe to any who dare trespass within their hunting grounds as most unsuspecting trespassers never see them coming.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Metallic
Iron
Making their homes under rocky hills and tall mountains, the Iron Dragonborn usually keep to themselves unless scouting the world for threats to their dominion. Often, these Dragonborn would come into conflict with their Green brethren, viewing them as territorial rivals.

Additionally, you can use your claws as a tool for the purpose of harvesting ore and digging.
Steel
Perhaps the most urbane of the dragonborn, these dragonborn often live in enclaves and neighborhoods within major metropolitan centers of civilizations. Many steel dragonborn make their living as merchants, entrepreneurs and artisans that rival the dwarves.
