* We Are Not Even Sure Taupe Is A Colour.
So, I read people complaining about elven subraces. Fair enough. While in my campaign I've written them so that they do adapt to their terrain in a bio-magical way, I can certianly see why this annoys some people, perhaps those wanting more Tolkeinesque elves.
I don't, however, recall seeing anyone complaining about the vast, mutated mob of dragon species. God, they annoy me. I see on WotC's site we now have ectoplasmic dragons to go along with our force, prismatic, shadow, cloud blah blah blah varieties. Now, in my (albeit) limited knowledge of East Asian folklore, I think there were many types of dragon, in European we had only one that I know of: big, scaly, firebreathing Bad Thing. (Not counting the Worm of Basingstoke, linnorms, wyverns... OK, shut up. You know what I mean).
I really don't see the need for all these wyrmbreeds. The best dragons in D&D materials I can think of are the four god-rending terrors of the Iron Kingdoms, the six (or so) unique dragons of BirthRight. None of these conform to a colour or metal.
Anyway, does anyone else dislike the chromatic/metallic/gemstone/elemental/meterial dragon types? Anyone care to defend them, or better still, off a cogent explanation of what they're doing her ein the first place?
Am I ranting, or is it the sugar?
