    Default A little feedback on dragborn enhancements!

    One thing that really stands out - it's a pretty darn caster-friendly enhancement tree! And that's fine, sure, but it really seems to be lacking anything that really stands out at all as far as the active or passive abilities. A lot of racial trees have some pretty remarkable stuff here or there - sneak attack dice in halfling, boost for human, a whole enhancement tree splash as elf/half-elf, dilettantes.. warforged get their weapon attachment, fortifications..

    I'm just sayin', really, dragonborn feels kinda.. flat?

    The breath weapon is neat! But it only scales effectively for a caster with metamagics and relevant spellpowers. Why not also have a melee-friendly scaling component or option? And I really feel like the entire tree just needs.. something. The breath is 'neat' but just doesn't have any 'oomph', and while I get the utility of a movement ability can be maybe remarkable for some builds, it just doesn't feel remotely 'defining' as an upper tier enhancement!

    I'd love to see just a little somethin' more, something that stands out, for dragonborn enhancements. I'm totally cool with it being a very caster-heavy tree with a little splash of defense as far as passives, but it's almost nothing but!

    Since so much inspiration has been taken from the draconic incarnation tree, maybe add barrier of scales? The long cooldown vs. the more easily castable stoneskin SLA that deep gnomes get helps balance out the much more effective damage blocking. Similarly, daunting roar for the paralysing fear effect could be a good option for a melee - maybe even as an alternative to the breath weapon.
    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, now what's it is weird and scary to me.
