Mechanics from DDO

That would be kind of cool.

Also, Dragonborn Half-Elf Sorcerer
Man that would be so awesome. Let's face it, Helf's caster cased Dilettantes suck horribly and the UMD Skill gives you all Scrolls (rather than one set) without wasting precious AP. So you always tend to pick up a melee based Dilettante, or at best the Barbarian Dilettante on a spellcaster for the extra HP. A Dragonborn variant would pick up a Con bonus and play into the Savants. A Cold Breath Weapon on an Ice Savant? Yes please. To round things out, FvS-like Wings (because it is semi-common and doesn't hurt) and maybe racially granted spellpower.

Might as well post my old DDO dragonborn concept too

(click to show/hide)

+2 Con, -2 Dex
+2 on saves vs fear
Dragon Evasion: Dragonborn gain a bonus of +2 to their armor class vs dragon-type monsters.
 
Dragonborn must choose one Aspect and one Origin Race. A dragonborn counts as a member of his Origin Race (in addition to dragonborn) for enhancements and magic items, and also retains some of their abilities. They DO NOT count as their Origin Race for feats. In order to select an Origin Race, you must be able to create characters of that race on this server.

Aspects

• Heart: Breath weapon 3/rest (1d3+3 damage per char level, save DC = 10 + half HD + Con), 6 second cooldown
• Mind: +2 Listen/Search/Spot, Immunity to Sleep, Trapfinding
• Wings: +6 Jump/Swim, Toggled Feather Fall

Origin Races

• Drow Elf: Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Shuriken, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Rapier, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Shortsword, Shuriken Expertise
• Dwarf: Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Dwarven Axe
• Elf: Martial Weapon Proficiency: Longsword, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Longbow, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Rapier, Martial Weapon Proficiency: Shortbow
• Half-elf: Half-elf Mixed Heritage, Half-elf Social Graces
• Half-orc: +1 on attack rolls, Half-orc Orc Blood
• Halfling: Halfling Size Bonus
• Human: Bonus skill points
• Warforged: Type changes to Construct (living construct). A dragonborn warforged is affected by healing/repair like a warforged and does not need to breathe.

Wings get a Swim bonus because I hear Swim affects your fly speed in one raid where the party gets the ability to fly. Adding in extra Origin Races like gnome, shifter, lizardfolk and so on would be really easy. It's also possible that the Rite of Rebirth could be tied to the Reincarnation mechanic; i.e. you can only choose the dragonborn race for True Reincarnated characters.

You gain 2 additional uses of your Breath Weapon per rest.
(2) Dragonborn Extra Breath II   Dragonborn Extra Breath I, Dragonborn lv6

(2) Dragontouched II      Dragontouched I; Bard lv8, Dragonborn lv6 or Sorcerer lv8

Dragonborn Weapons of Energy I      Dragontouched I, Dragonborn lv6
You may expend a use of X to add +1d6 damage of your chosen type to your attacks for 10 seconds.
Dragonborn Weapons of Energy II   Dragontouched II, Dragonborn lv10
You may expend a use of X to add +2d6 damage of your chosen type to your attacks for 10 seconds.
Dragonborn Weapons of Energy III   Dragontouched III, Dragonborn lv14
You may expend a use of X to add +3d6 damage of your chosen type to your attacks for 10 seconds.

I figure shifters would be hard to implement and changelings would have no use, but dragonborn could use the same model for all races, and kalashtar can just be humans with a different set of hair colours available at creation (or not even that).

Speaking of. Still don't have time for the life of me to make the Artificer but I never posted my idea on it.

(click to show/hide)

The DDO Artificer
Remove: All crafted related abilities, such as Craft Feats and the Craft Reserve with all the abilities pertaining to it.
Retain: Infusions, Craft Homunculus, Disable Trap, Bonus Feats.
Gain: Runearms, Battle Engineer, Repair Spells work on you at 1/2 rate (if non-construct).

Runearm
You can create and use a Runearm. Equipping this item limits usage of one of your hands but does not fully prevent it's use. Your hand cannot hold items or attack with weapons but it can be used to ready components for spells or disable traps. This creation draws off your magical abilities can cannot be used by anyone else. Once per round you can fire a Runearm at your opponents. The type of shot wildly varies based on the exact Runearm. The Save DCs (if any) are 10 + your Intelligence Modifier + the arm's charge level (see below).  Additionally the magical field of energy produced by the Runearms imbue your melee, ranged, and natural attacks so they deal additional energy damage.

At the start of your turn you can start charging up, this in turn consumes an action based on the amount of time spent charging it. The longer the action, the higher the charge. You cannot charge the arm and forgo firing it, it will enter a cooling stage that disperses the charge preventing it from exploding on your arm if you attempt to with hold firing it to charge it even higher.
I: Uses a Swift Action and deals 1 point per two Artificer levels (minimum 1).
II: Uses a Move Action and deals 1d4 points per two Artificer levels.
III: Uses a Standard Action and deals 1d6 points per two Artificer levels.
IV: Uses a Full-Round Action and deals 1d8 points per two Artificer levels.
V: Uses a 1 Round Action, firing at the start of your next turn, it deals 1d12 points per two Artificer levels.
The type of shot varies based on the Runearm it's self (see below), at the 1st, 4th, even every four levels beyond that you can create a new Runearm. While you can own any number of arms only one can be equipped at any given time.

(click to show/hide)

Flame Warden (5ft line of fire, reflex halves)
Equipping this Runearm gives you Fire Resistance 5, your weapons deal +1 Fire damage.

Corruption of Nature (two standard shots, fort halves)
Equipping this Runearm gives you a +2 Insight bonus to Intelligence, your weapons deal +1d10 Acid damage, and any effect you create that deals Acid damage deals +1 per die, this includes Runearm Shots and elemental damage your weapons deal.

Battle Engineer
At the 1st level you learn to work around your Runearm's limitations, this allows you to reload it and use the reloading lever normally. At the 3rd level level any weapon you wield gains a stacking +1 Enhancement bonus. At the 6th level once per Encounter you can perform an Endless Fusillade, for one round your cross bow is treated as having the Splitting Enhancement. At the 10th level the stacking Enhancement bonus improves to +2.
