OSR-Style Dragonborn

As previously mentioned, I quite like Dragonborn. As a result, I've statted them, both as a race and class: in Basic Fantasy as a race and in Labyrinth Lord as a Class. Note that these are somewhat meant to be a unique take each time, as in a way there isn't really a 'proper' take on how this race could have worked had it existed back in older editions. Much like how Elves and Dwarves were classes and have changed a bit every time before becoming what we know them today. As a result, these versions aren't always equivalent to one another and more different takes on the same theme.

Dragonborn really need some less 'dungeonpunk' artwork.
