Dragonborns not only carry their ancestry upon their looks, but also within their veins. This power can surface in some of them as a surge of the weave and powerful magic.
With the +1 Charisma given to Dragonborns, sorcerer is one of the most natural options. Their heritage and proximity to the ancient magic of dragons further amplified by the sorcerer’s class abilities, it could create some very memorable scenes in your campaign.
Pick Sorcerer if you wish to take a break from fighters and warriors, and focus on the mystique arts and wonders of magic instead.
It’s always guaranteed that the heads will turn to a Dragonborn entering a room. Now imaginea bard Dragonborn. Charismatic and intimidating at the same time, they’d be rather unforgettable.
Dragonborn’s +2 Strength and +1 Charisma synergize wonderfully with bard, opening the doors to many possibilities of bard multiclassing and the considerably powerful strength bard.
Pick Bard if you want to try a unique and challenging role-play experience, and flavor your Dragonborn in many different ways.
The clan-fixated living of Dragonborn naturally meshes well with the tribesman Barbarian.
The breath weapon offers an extra way of damaging crowds of enemies.
While the charisma is sadly not so useful, if variants are allowed you could easily solve that problem by choosing Ravenite Dragonborn and getting that sweet sweet +1 Constitution.
Once again, we prioritize roleplay and mechanics together, and this offers both in optimized harmony.
Pick Barbarian if you like the idea of a tribal Dragonborn, bringing down their wrath upon their enemies.
A wonderful option and well-deserving of its second place, fighter is one of the most versatile and most optimized Dragonborn options. Almost each variant is fitting for Dragonborn with its +2 strength, and the many archetypes of Fighter gives you even further customization.
Pick Fighter if you want to bring the great might of a dragonkin onto the table.
Here we have the first of our list, Paladin. Warriors against evil, paladins combine the divine and might. The class itself uses both strength and charisma for its abilities so Dragonborn is a perfect fit.
With paladin Dragonborn you never need to worry about optimization as it will just be great for each archetype and almost all builds.
Pick Paladin if you want to be a force against evil, and make your enemies flee in fear.
Pulled into the world of magic, sword and might at an early age, Misha has levelled up to be a skillfull baker, planes traveller, merciless Dungeon Master and found her greatest enemy; lactose.
