Dragon Born Racial Build

Liberty's Edge

I'm sure this has been done before making a conversion, and then I thought...why Convert and not build a new one?

So I sat down and tried to combine 3.0 & 3.5 into a different build for the Dragon Born Race.

Wouldn't mind some feedback on it for play balance. For the Build I went with the Point Value found for a Tiefling.

Dragon Born
Type: Humanoid (Reptillian)
Size: Medium
Ability Scores: Flexibility (+2 Strength, +2 Constitution) {2RP}
Languages: Standard
-Common & Draconic
-Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Undercommon
Racial Traits
-Draconic Immunities (Ex) - Immunity to magical sleep effects, and +2 Save against Paralysis spells & Effects {2RP}
-Greater Energy Resistance (EX) - Resist 10 to energy type based on coloration {3RP}
-Improved Natural Armor (EX) - Natural Armor Bonus +2 {3RP}
-Greed (EX) - +2 racial bonus to Appraise checks with precious metals {1RP}
-Draconic Sorcery (EX) - Dragon Bloodline Sorcerers treat their Charisma as two higher for all spells and class abilities. {1RP}
-Low-Light Vision (EX) - See twice as far as races with normal vision {1RP}
-Dark Vision (EX) - see in the dark up to 60 feet {2RP}

Dragon Born, male HT:6'4" +2d6" WT: 220 lb. HT bonus x5 lb.
Dragon Born, female HT:6'1" +2d6" WT: 180 lb. HT Bonus x5 lb

Middle Age: 150
Old: 250
Venerable: 350

Starting Age: 60 Intuitive: +4d6, Self-taught: +6d6, Trained: +8d6

This racial build just seems more draconic as a base race but as I said I wouldn't mind feedback at all. I have a player joining our group that has played 4th and 5th and hasn't played much Pathfinder. So this seem like a good Pathfinder version of a Dragonborn?

The Exchange

It is very strong but not so much it will be a problem. I don't think you need to make changes.

It has a lot of good things and nothing bad. Possibly a perfect match for many classes.

If you are wanting to add something it is missing a breath weapon. A glide or feather fall could be nice too (wings)

If you want to remove or reduce something I would drop the natural armor or maybe make some of these a favored class bonus (armor, resistances, bonus breath weapon damage).

I was debating thinking of making feats or using the Kobold Dragon Aspect feats to create breath weapons and wings, even improving the natural armor a bit more.
