Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

[Brazenwood]

Yikes!

I hate the Tieflings and will not allow them in my campaign, the artwork in the books makes D&D look like devil worship now, so that should help us with the crazy Christians. Also just don't like them because people like to role play the bad boy archetype with them, when it's much more convincing with say a human who is disturbed, looking the part is over the top, and those tails! I mean if a Tiefling walked into a town in my world they'd attack on sight!

Now Dragonborn I can tolerate, only because I have a culture that reveres Dragons and has (had?) a population of half-dragons, mainly sorcerers who made some ritual modifications, so I wouldn't really call them Dragonborn...but I'd only allow one per party and even then I'd try and talk the player out of it...

My personal preference would be to keep the stats but change the appearance.

I am not a big fan of some of the art for them and I generally dislike the huge ungainly tail. I have adapted them in my game so that they can come with a variety of inhuman features.

They're trying to be cool and trendy when their core audience couldn't be cool even with a +10 bag of social conformity?

I should feel bad for that joke.

Not bad. Just uncool.

Ahem... don't mind me.

By the way, "I had created a vanishing event horizon. Tears that fractal scorpions. The other encrypted secrets. She would be another affair all ruined medicine, confetti and more road swayed violently red cheese wheel in the packets of the central metaphor for all dissolved. Boundaries all just preventative maintenance. "

...totally warlock tiefling... but which pact? Fey? Star?

I think, hmm, WoTC just doesn't get cool. They're like your dad trying to be trendy.

As a dad, I’d like to say that nothing annoys my kids more than me trying to be trendy. That’s why I do it all the time

It’s best if I can completely miss the point and misunderstand their annoyance.

What is this, Night of the Living Thread?

Still, since the question has been posed...

I don't dislike them so much as I don't want to see them as default elements.

Honestly, I'd be glad to allow either in my 3e game. As exceptions.

Just for the record, the thread WAS resurrected by a spammer. I deleted the post leaving S'mon holding the bag and taking the blame.

It's what I do.

As for the matter at hand, now that we're several months down the line, I've got no problems with either of the two new races. The campaign I'm going to start is being built from the ground up so the are included in the design rather than needing to be shoehorned in.

Factory farming dairy cows.

That was a little known spinoff to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...it only lasted 2 episodes.

I ant over everybody had the first got off with the fire, another glass.

I like Planescape-esque tieflings fine -- you know, the ones where no two look exactly alike. Not the 4E variety that look like a unified race.

Not as interested in Dragonborn.

So I voted Tiefling Yes, Dragonborn No.

I love all things Planescape. I've not kept the Tieflings and Dragonborn restricted too much as far as looks go. As long as any horns, wings or whatever are nonfunctional and doesn't get in the way of things I'm good to go with whatever my players come up with.
