(( In D&D yes but this isn't D&D. ))

[The Froggy Ninja]

You said 4th edition AD&D and are using the same races I assumed.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( I'm not the host dude, but he's not using the racial skills and stuff from D&D that was just the framework for the game he's made up the rest himself to fit the game and to balance things.

From the OP. If you're going to create a mage, the only thing you can do without any knowledge of magic-wielding - and you don't know shit about it because there is no one to learn from - is to transform raw magic energy to focused and unfocused energy pulses, and you're able to move things in distance (which demands a powerful effort of will)

Going from that the ability to use a high level attack like lightning breath will require a lot of time and practice. ))

He could make it so that it starts out weak and gets stronger later on, when he becomes more used to using his lightning breath.

Yeah but since the Humans killed all the mages and they never beat the Dragonborn I have more powerful magicks.

(( Doesn't mean you specifically, your species does but your no stronger then the rest of us players. Giving you high level magic is a little unfair on every other player and would be a nightmare to balance. ))

[Caerwyn]

South. Walk south. Keep walking until something interesting is found, and then peruse it.

Well I do the GM PM'd me the details but basically I can do some buffs and some basic offensive moves but it literally takes all my energy.

GM here to solve the question.
Froggy Ninja, The Dragonborn of original DnD really have ability of breathing with elemental forces, but there are two points:
1) Average Dragonborn lives about 250-300 years, though the oldest ones can live for five or six centuries. So, being 20, you're not even a teenager of your kind. So your ability still needs practice and development.
2) I nerfed that ability 'cause it's pretty overpowered, as I think. Now it requires magical efforts as well as physical. Not each Dragonborn is fire-breathing here.

Pay no attention to the people talking. Just head up to the railway station and take a ride out to the country.

(( Young adult is still young bud. You ain't gonna get an ability that strong without training and practice the same way none of us have substantial fighting abilities. ))

[The Froggy Ninja]

((I know I was just pointing out that I might as I am not a teenager but a young adult.))

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Better off then me lol, I got the ability that I might live if I die, which does me no good what so ever in anything at all. At most I'm a mortally wounded guy who lives 1 more turn before my wounds or the enemy finishes me off. ))

 You wake up because someone is shaking your shoulder. This is the Old Elf. He is ready for action. So you stand up and walk out of the house. There a group of men, armed with rifles and pistols are waiting. They are all mounted, and there are two more horses for you and Old Elf.
Then your party moves out through the broken gates and rushes the tundra. Freezing wind howls as a wounded beast on his last hunt. Then you approach foot of a small mountain, that stands all alone in the plains. There, you find a small cave and leave your horses there. Now you're on your foot. You slowly sneak around the mountain until you see lights and smoke on one of the cliffs. As you climb up the cold stones of the cliff, that forms a small bay of stone, the wind brings pieces of chat and songs to you. Then, when you reach the edge of the cliff, Old Elf gives everybody a sign to stop. The he makes a short look over the edge, then explains in signs, that there are four of them, and shows where the howitzer stands. Then he  jumps over the cliff with his revolver at his side, and so do others, so you follow them.
[6] You land just on the head if one of the soldiers, crushing his skull with your weight - a brief look on the battlefield shows, that there are four more left: the one you killed escaped the Old Elf's gaze. But bastards seem to await your arrival - they're hiding behind their howitzer and shooting your party. Afew bullets glanced your armor, but you're fine. What is your next action?

 You walk through mountain paths for two days. After midday of third, you see [5] some steps, roughly cut steps that lead up the mountain slope. You go up and up, and finally end up in an overview point high on mountain peak. There is small chamber intended for two guards to sleep is cut right in the body of the mountain. It is probably one of overview points that are used by dwarves to secure their roads, but this one seems to be forgotten just after it was built. Inside this small room you find three high barrels. One is filled with Ale, as you can judge by the smell, another - with corned beef, and third smells with machine oil. Do you wish to open it?

 You pass by, then, when you're already approaching the platform, you hear a distant shot. But you don't care.
Trains are departing to all the outskirts of huge empire. Where do you wish to go?
