Dragonborn are a playable race in Baldur's Gate 3 . They have resistance to a type of energy damage, and are able to make deadly breath weapon attacks. These abilities are affected by their dragonborn subrace. Dragonborn resemble draconic humanoids, can have scales in a variety of colours, and may or may not have a tail.

A proud race that values clan and skills above all else. Once enslaved by dragons, they strive to be self-sufficient, not wanting to be beholden to anyone, not even the gods.
