Again, not talking about what "might" be true. I'm talking about ACTUAL canon. There canonically no dragonborn mercenaries in Baldur's... -

totally agree. Except that none of the specific places, people or events that he lists actually exist in the setting. It's all 100%...

Foul! You have added non-canon material. You have zero idea where his homeland is. Strike 2 and 3. He has no connection to any...

Right. The rules don't say any species are more rare than others. So don't design a setting in a way that forces players to contort...

The head of Candlekeep is Janusi - a human. There is a dragonborn First Reader, that's true. Doesn't actually ever appear in any of...

Part of that issue is that D&D is crap at onboarding new players in the Lore of D&D. D&D has no fixed world to explain the world with...

So, in the place the PCs are likely to be from, a significant few of the PC species options are rare? yeah, this is why 5.5E needs a...

Let's be honest here. Dragonborn and Tieflings were noted as "rare" in the 5.0 PHB because they had 4e cooties. It had ZERO to do with...

The rarity of a species depends entirely on setting. Obviously Dragonborn are common in a Dragonborn-only setting. 5.5 is setting...

For me? I would say that the PHB races are the bare minimum. I wouldn't worry too much about all those other races - there has to be a...

Agreed, that's too flat. That said, and this is where lack of granularity rears its ugly head, I prefer there always be a tiny chance...
