    Tiefling, Dragonborn : have they gained traction ?

    I know you've already said you've been convinced of the tradition of the Dragonborn/Half-Dragons, but I wanted to clarify. Tieflings, Dray, and Half-Dragons were all fully playable races as of 1994, in the Planescape Campaign Box Set, Dark Sun: City by the Silt Sea box set, and the Council of...

    Tiefling, Dragonborn : have they gained traction ?

    Tieflings have been around since 1994. Dragonborn are effectively descendants of a) Half-Dragons (1994), b) the Dray (1994), and C) Draconians (1984). While CRPGs may have enhanced their appeal, Tieflings and "Dragon-men" have had fans well before the era of CRPG really took off (I'd say with...

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    1) Elves are Primal too ... 1) & 4) Dryad are plant people fey, and you're ok with that, but not with the Wilden as plant people fey? Huh? Tieflings never had an empire in Forgotten Realms or Eberron. Dragonborn never had an empire in Dragonlance (Draconians) or Dark Sun (Dray), and they...

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    Oh noes! How dare WotC want to actually give us options! How dare WotC want to get away from the tired old Tolkien cliches, and bring in more mythology/fairy tales! Those big ole meanies! Seriously, I'm disappointed it's not a better race, like the Thri-kreen like I had been hoping, but...

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    The Warforged article in Dragon isn't a Playtest, it's a full, official write-up. Or at least that's what is was meant to be, before WotC decided they just had to change it and put it in the EPG. But originally, it was official.

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    You do know that there's only like 15 total stat combos possible, right? There will be more guys with Con/Wis as time goes on. A specific race being the only one to have a particular combo is a sacred cow that is dead and deep fried. I agree with this. I'd even go so far as to say that...

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    Well, I know there were Dark Sun adventure modules involving the Githyanki, and very often where the Githyanki go the Mind Flayers have been. And there was a psionic humanoid worm race called something like Psulon or Psulorn or something that were essentially aberrant invaders from another...

    Art: Bloodfury Savage: Since when do half-orcs shave their pits.

    What purpose is served by identifying the gender of anything?

    things i like/dislike about PHB2 - a sort of review

    I'm still holding onto (vain?) hope that eventually there will be a 4e Birthright setting done, which would be a natural place to add in mass combat/war rules, and probably naval combat since 2 of the major geographical regions were naval super-powers.

    things i like/dislike about PHB2 - a sort of review

    That's because Conan is a fighter, not barbarian, by trade. He's only a barbarian by culture. Most comments I've seen say the Scales of War backgrounds are overpowered. Looks like WotC agrees.

    Art: Bloodfury Savage: Since when do half-orcs shave their pits.

    The Quest for Glory series of games had an alcoholic drink called Trollsweat. :confused: However, MM1 is done by WotC, and the leaping spear wielding Goblin is clearly a female with teh bewbs.

    PHB II: Am I The Only One Blown Away By The Art?

    It's apparently part of the Deva dress-code. Plus various PPs.

    PHB II: Am I The Only One Blown Away By The Art?

    If you mean half-orcs, actually they're grey. :p

    Player's Handbook 2: I haz it

    I'm noticing a distinct lack of Druid spellcaster build feats; they're almost all wildshape feats. Don't know that I like that ...

    Player's Handbook 2: I haz it

    Dex is still the confirmed stat, repeatedly. And there's nothing "power creep" about their racials. Gnomes and Devas are far closer to that than Half-Orcs.

    Which MM race would you like to see an "Playing a...' article in Dragon next?

    Hobgoblins, followed by Githyanki for me. Well, with the assumption that Dopplegangers are in the EPG. If they're not, then they get top priority for me.

    Playing Shadar-kai

    Yeah, I'm getting irritated too. Last month when the Dhampyr article came out, I couldn't access it even though I was logged in. I thought it was just my subscription having run out (3 monther) even though I was technically logged in, so I re-ordered, and it worked fine after that. Then last...

    On the matter of half-orcs

    Actually, she's recently been confirmed through the WoW comic (which is Blizzard canon) to be Half-Draenei. And has a son, presumedly by a human. Talk about a mutt. :confused:
