This is my first time homebrewing anything bigger than a simple patch. Please do not hesitate to point out any glaring mistakes I might have made.
Flavor text will come later. As will the level five and ten features. I'm just concerned with balancing the power right now.

Building a Dragonwrought
Flavor text
Class Prerequisite: None.
Race Prerequisite: Kobold.
Starting Feature
Flavor text
Benefit: Choose a type of dragon from the list below. This represents you draconic heritage, the type of dragon from which you are descended. Your choice determines the damage type of your dragonwrought breath power and the features you gain at first, fifth, and tenth levels. You gain the first level feature for your heritage. You also gain the dragon keyword and are considered to be a dragon.
You also gain the dragonwrought breath power. This power counts as the dragonborn's dragon breath racial power for the purposes of meeting prerequisites, and you count as a dragonborn for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites for any feat that alters dragon breath. Any bonuses or modifications applied by these feats applies to your dragonwrought breath instead. If you should somehow gain the dragon breath power, talk to your DM. I don't want to deal with that corner case here.
Available Draconic Heritages: Adamantine, Black, Blue, Brass, Bronze, Brown, Cobalt, Copper, Gold, Gray, Green, Iron, Mercury, Mithral, Orium, Purple, Red, Silver, Steel, White
