Innately Magical Darkvision

True Dragonborn are innately magical. When you multicalss
into an arcane spellcasting class, you may count your
dragonborn racial levels as levels in that class for
determining spells per day (not spells known) and for Casting
DCs.
Spellcasting
Your draconic heritage has left an indelible mark on you,
infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic fuels your
spells. See PHB chapter 10 for the general rules of
spellcasting and PHB chapter 11 for the sorcerer spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
sorcerer spell list. You learn additional sorcerer cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, as show n in the Cantrips Known
column of the True Dragonborn table.
Spell Slots
The True Dragonborn table shows how many spell slots you
have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of
these sorcerer spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s
level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you
finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell
burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot
available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
If you later multiclass into another arcane spell casting
class, you may instead add your True Dragonborn levels to
level in that class for determining your spells per day.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 2nd level, and again at 6th, and 8th level, you
can increase your Intelligence or you can increase your
Intelligence any other ability score by 1 each. As normal, you
can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Upon reaching 2nd level, True Dragonborn gain darkvision to
a range of 60 feet. This distance increases to 120 feet at 6th
level.
Draconic Size
When you reach 4th level, your size changes to large. You gain
wings and a flight speed equal to twice your normal
movement speed.
Pure Blood
Upon reaching 9th level, the True Dragonblood reaches a
state of arcane might which allows them to purify thier blood
and asend to become a true dragon. The True Dragonborn
must go into a hibernation state for 7 days in order to achieve
this state.
Upon awakening, the Dragonborn's type changes to dragon
and they gain the amphibious ability as well as the ability to
shapeshift between three forms, thier original dragonborn
form, a medium sized humanoid form, and a pure dragon
form.
Amphibious
Dragons can breathe air and water. A dragon suffers no
penalties regarding lack of atmosphere or breathable air
within the deep void.
Shapeshift
Dragons have learned to make use of their connection to the
arcane in order to shift themselves into a form which can
more easily conceal themselves in the world. In addition to
your normal dragonborn appearance, choose one alternate
appearance, which can be any medium humanoid race. you
can shapeshift between your medium form, your large
dragonborn form, and a large dragon form 3 times before
requiring a long rest.
