Dragonborn: Boobs or No Boobs?

zen_hydra · Dec 19, 2007

Dragonborn should be one large, ambulatory mammary gland, which is constantly lactating.

End of discussion.

I started to laugh, and then realized this wasn't a humor thread.

I started to cry when I saw three pages devoted to this already.

Horrible mammories will haunt me for the rest of the day now.

If this isn't a sign that WotC needs to give more info for us to chew on, I don't know what is, cause right now, I'm almost ashamed to be a gamer geek.

I think I'm gonna go now and kick some puppies . . . and weep some more.

Hey... how about a Warboob class?

Probably a defender or controller, with various distraction powers.

Hmm... how about dragonborn udders instead? That way it won't be provacative and you can have an extra source of income.

I say dragons and dragonborn are primarily reptilian, therefore no boobs. And for the males, two penises!

And you think dragonborn gender being visually unidentifiable is too much to take?

Obviously someone is afraid of hooking up with a dragonborn of ambiguous sex.

You know, I like bewbs as much as the next heterosexual male, but I'm all for being different with the dragonborn and any other non-mammalian species in D&D. If the concept of the species does not suggest lactation, then there should be no breasts or nipples of any sort.

If you want to include some other outward signal of a creature's fitness/sexual maturity (male or female) then figure out the species's ecological niche, think about its evolution, and come up with something else that makes sense. Maybe a color change from better camouflaged adolescent to richer colored adult, different texture to the skin/scales, or a noticeable scent.

I'm not really up on the descriptions of dragonborn, I'm not sure if they are supposed to be dragon men and have traits of both men and dragons or merely bipedal small dragons with articulated claws. I could be fine with images either way.

I like the yuan ti woman picture from the FR serpent book and a bunch of half dragon women who all do have breasts, but I don't think I've seen any distinguishable boobs on lizardfolk, troglodytes, or even 3e kobolds and I've been fine with that too.

I am 110% behind the idea of including "cheesecake" in the art of D&D. So yes: Boobs = Good! :lol:

But on something as "inhuman" as dragonborn? They make no sense. In that case: Boobs < Good! :\

I say we give male dragonborn colorful extending skin flaps under the neck and jaw, like what anoles have.

Not sure what those things are called but they look cool and I always wanted to have one.

Not sure about boobs for females, but proably no, instead they can lay eggs.
