So against dragons he or she is very powerful, against everything else, he is just a regular human. Well he does have the power of the voice. Ulfric trained as a thu'um master for years and only knows one shout, the dragonborn can use dozens of them.

I always figured that the dragonborn's dragonblood makes him physically stronger and better at magic. When you think about it that makes sense since he quickly over takes people in each faction who have much more experience than him like Delvin, Nazir, Vilkas, Tollfdir. He is automatically better than them and that's because he is dragon born.

I also assumed that the dragonborn learns skills faster. All of the skill trainers in Skyrim are people who have basically dedicated their entire lives to their chosen skill (think of the companions, mages and thieves) the best of them are level 90 but the dragonborn can very quickly become that good or even better while also mastering several other diverse skills.

I think there is no way the dragonborn is nothing more than a human. He's far stronger.

dude... are you serious? did you even play the game? read about a dragonborn? all his dragonblood gives him is the ability to learn shouts faster, and absorb dragon souls which gives him an edge over dragons. they made you learn the abilities faster because NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY A GAME FOR 50 YEARS JUST TO GET THEIR SMITHING TO 100. jeeez man get a frickin brain cell.
