[RPG] What are the “unique magic abilities” that draconians get instead of a breath weapon

content-identificationdnd-5edragonbornracial-traits

I like dragonborn, but I don’t really like the breath weapon that much. You can’t use it very often, and it doesn’t seem to scale very well at all, so it’s hard to imagine it having much relevance to a character after the first few levels. (And since I’m looking to play a warlock, eldritch blast says “why bother?”)

But I note a sidebar on page 34 of Player’s Handbook (or this section of the basic rules) about the draconians of Dragonlance, and it includes this tempting note:

In place of their draconic breath weapons, [draconians] have unique magical abilities.

What are those abilities? Where are they detailed? Certainly doesn’t seem to be in Player’s Handbook.

They have not been specified for PC races.

While the statistics for draconians as monsters are included in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, there are no rules for playing draconians as a variant of the dragonborn PC race. Fizban's does include more options for PC dragonborn, but all of them include breath weapons.
