I think minotaur would be pretty popular. Many people thought it was going to be the mystery race before db was announced. Of course, there would be the whole "OMG WoW!" outrage, and the "ew! horned wookies" if they kept the 3e look. :-S now that i think of what they've done to tiefling and db...

yeah :blush: don't rub it in.

nevermind, please delete

I think that's what dnd races stand for, or at least that's how i understand them. for example: - the Sidhe or Tuatha De Danann (and other races preceding the Celts in the Book of Conquests) have a lot in common with Tolkien's elves. - the duergar and alfar of Norse mythology are sometimes...

Or what we’re seeing here is also an edition divide. The new races were certainly an issue for some 4e sceptics. By definition, all the voters in this poll played at least some 4e but that may not be the case for the other poll (where db was the most hated race) I didn’t vote here because I ‘m...

The amount of information available may also make a big difference. I wasn’t playing dnd anymore then and didn’t even know about 3e before the release. At the time, I was mostly using the internet for pr0n and only discovered Enworld by chance. I guess fewer gamers had cheap broadband access...

Just like i said, dragonboobs are less interesting. Even if you are actually going to play out the whole dragonflirt thing :-S that shouldn't be a problem, unless your dm describes women as humans with boobs. But really, I thought the point of db was to play a scary monster, not hook up in...

Precisely, those abilities were appropriate for the classes’ flavour, not dictated by artificial combat roles. Now I think that making every class as useful in and out of combat is a good thing. I didn’t say that healing/ buffing wasn’t necessary, just that it shouldn’t be a class’s main role...

Serves you right for playing this abomination that dared replace the bard. Seriously, I didn't think there would be more classes like this in light of the 3e cleric's problem (he had to be overpowered just to make someone accept being the party's healbot.) This is just another example of why...

This article is just bland fluff. No intriguing twist, nothing to steal. It certainly doesn’t make db more interesting, let alone appealing to me. And the "awesome" and "inspiring" picture on the first page just adds cheesiness to the db’s ugliness and dorkitude. I guess from this angle, the...

I wasn’t playing dnd anymore, 3e brought me back. Almost every change seemed like a huge improvement over 2e (but I did like um… priest spheres) Even though I wished they had gone further in some areas (AC as DR, completely ditch Vancian magic), 3e changes seemed like a natural progression. So...

I'm torn between dwarf (dull and ugly, always hated them) and dragonborn (dumb look and concept, furry ickiness), I guess db wins. Halfling is bland no matter what incarnation. They should be replaced or merged with gnome. We don't need more than one short race. Halflings could just be young...

Tried 4e, didn't like, didn't buy. Off dnd for the moment. Waiting for 4.5 or whatever call it.

Some may want to discuss editions in detail and rationally, without the random insult part. CM is fun and all, but may not be the best place for that. I doubt you will see that before one side has driven the other off.

wow, they don't just look better than wotc's minis, they're also much better than the art in the corebooks. This is what dragonborn should look like. better than both AtG dragonborns. But are people really going to portrait DB without a tail? It can't be worse than the official minis. I'd rather...

Funnily enough, most dwarves i’ve seen in play were the same old crude, grumpy to downright sociopathic drunks. Interestingly enough, most dwarf fanboys i've met were actually short, unwashed, socially challenged fatbeards or intolerant, tubby boozers. (not implying every dwarf player is either...

I don't think "people" hate elves. It was kind of cool to bash them at some point, and I can see how some elf fans may be annoying but I think elf haters are still a minority. Now that high elves are split between eladrin/gray elves and wood/wild elves, that's less silly sub-races in the...

Now that martial abilities are in line with spells, almost any non vancian spell system would do, actually. I already mentioned power points. They better simulate fatigue or ki than independent slots for each exploit. They are also more flexible but not harder to track and require some...

this. not sure it's entirely on topic, but that too.

If the math is done correctly, high level powers may be so costly that, in effect, you can only use them once a day. What a power pool allows is to trade them for multiple lower level powers. Even if a player managed to use a big bang power twice by burning all his points, he would then be...
