It’s „you gain“ a flying speed, there’s no such thing as a „reaction action“, i have no idea what the word „adived“ means and if it’s supposed to mean „avoid“ it’s way too powerful. 60ft is also way too much, at best give them 30-40.
Fix for the mechanical part: „When you’re targeted by an attack, as a reaction you can impose disadvantage on the attack before seeing the roll. (Alternative: add 1d6 to your AC, if you as a GM don’t like the disadvantage)
After the attack hit or missed, fly up to 30ft straight up into the air.“

Making it an action to recharge is good, most players won’t do that during combat. The 1d12 bonus damage seems strong, but not overpowered...
Having two elemental attacks for 1d12+2d6 each seems a bit much in the lower levels - from level 5 onward it’s about as much as a great weapon wielding fighter does with multiattack - the fighter gets to add their Str mod, while your dragonborn can overcome weapon damage resistance. I like this one.

Dragonborn don’t have wings. Can’t flap what you don’t have at people. I also don’t really like the thought of stacking feats. Lastly, most effects like that usually require a Str save to stay afoot, Dex is more of an „i jump out of the way“ thing, but that’s up to you.

For clarification i‘d phrase it „Whenever you use your breath weapon, you can choose to use the breath weapon gained by this feat instead“, because this is unclear whether you permanently change your breat weapon or just get to choose every time.

-This seems a little to OP for my liking
Increasing flying speed to 60 and to be able to get an extra movement as a reaction once per long rest this may be able to be exploited by players.

-This I'm guessing is for only once per long rest if not it can be easily exploited. Also the spell DC's are a bit much giving the players a awesome ability and a high DC the more feats they grab the harder it is for the DM to find a way to deal with the chaos of a player knocking an enemy prone while the others attack with advantage.

Your fly speed increases to 60ft. As a reaction action you can can move 60ft into the air to adived a successful attack. You can not use this ability till you have had a long rest.

You need to put in the limitation that you cannot fly while wearing heavy armor. The kobold flight talent in the XGTE supplement has the same restriction or this will become the must have of any fighter or paladin dragonborn you have. Also the kobold one only gives 30ft I suggest you use that distance for yours as well.

Breath weapon is one of the weakest racials there is. This feat doesn't offer enough to make it worth the cost. Making it a bonus action and adding 1 extra D of damage each teir level would make it much more useful especially if you keep the once per day recharge.

Do your dragonborn have wings by default? otherwise how are they doing this wing attack if you have the dragon wings behind a feat already. This also reads as to complicated and messy as its written. Change the prerequisite to Draconic wings instead and use 1 set DC save and range for it. Putting multiple equetions into something wont be easy to read and reference quickly.

Nothing wrong with this one, its kind of even fun I'm just not sure if its worth the price of a feat for it when the Elemental adept feat will offer you the same resistance boost and augment perhaps your powers better instead of having just a different damage type on your fairly weak racial breath weapon.

[ImproperJustice]

I like these.

I had been toying around with one for Dragon Breath myself, as I have a young player who loves Dragons and Dragonborn.

What we came up with looked like this:

Dragon Breath
Your breath weapon inflicts an additional die of damage upon taking this feat. It improves by an additional die at levels 5, 11, and 17.

You gain an additional use of your breath weapon per day, and you may recover uses upon a short rest.

We were debating as a kicker whether to allow Dragon Breath to also be used as a bonus action as part of thid feat or to throw in a half-stat increase.

I let them use it as a bonus even without a feat at my table otherwise no one ever uses it. Its just to weak after like the first two levels to be wroth your whole action unless your against something that is weak to its damage. But that's me as I personally feel the dragborn of 5th have gotten the short end of the stick this entire time.

I dont see how Half-elf has it worse.

You get +2 char and +1 to two addtinal stats of your choice.
you get to pick any skills you want
Darkvision
Advantage on charm saves.
3 langagues at the start with one being of your choice of any language.

And many Dm's I know will let you take the human variant option. Granted this is not in the default rules but Its a popular option at many tables and mentioned in posts from time to time.

Vs Dragonborn

A locked in +2 str +1char
Resistance to one damage type (which may or may not come up ever)
No darkvision
A breath weapon that uses your action that deals less damage then most cantrips by 4th level.
Skills and languages are set lists

If I recall, when I posted a thread asking about if that was allowed, a member of the staff said that it is explicitly not allowed. My memory could be off (it tends to be pretty bad), though.
