So, what does a Black Dragonborn taste like?

If the thread stayed on topic, threads like this one would be awfully short. Probably just a page worth before everyone moved onto the next topic du jour.

The people playing it. I like using the 4d6 method because of its' randomness. You randomly roll 4d6, drop the lowest die and then think about how you want to arrange the numbers based on which class you want your character to be.

It's possible that someone else called them the Dragonborn because of their physical resemblance to the True Dragons and because no one could pronounce their actual name which was in Draconic. According to the Forgotten Realms Wiki, the Draconic names for the Dragonborn was the Strixiki or the...

Now you got me wondering as to how it could have been worse.

Good question. Back in 3e, you could have it where magic was used to 'sculpt' unborn dragons while they were still in the egg into a number of draconic forms. There were several examples of this in 3e- Draconians, Noble Draconians, and Tiamatspawn.

I voted nay because of Level Up's Combat Traditions. They're thematic, much like those in 3e's Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords. You get more powerful combat maneuvers as you level up (no pun intended). And there are well over a dozen of them by now, both in the Adventurer's Guide and in a...

From the dragon's point of view, the druid is a pet. :p "My pet can turn into other kinds of pets. Isn't that cute?"

Dragonborn- born from dragons.

Heritage and Ancestry?

If a Humanoid mated with a Celestial, Fiend or Elemental, their offspring earned the half-x title. But they wouldn't have the title of Planetouched. A title that usually appeared several generations later and often to the offspring of parents who had no idea that one of their ancestors came from...

Well from the few 2024 Warforged pics I have seen lately, they are different from the looks of their 2014 counterparts. The 2024 Warforged remind me of the robot from the 1927 film Metropolis and the robots from the 2004 film I Robot . I like the looks they have had since 3e.

I was thinking that instead of the 5.5e Dragonborn sprouting spectral wings, they should have something like the Flight of the Dragon spell to fly around for brief periods of time. The spectral wings bit would work for me if it gave the Dragonborn the chance to do a Wing Slap that does fire...

Here's the spell I was referring to: Flight of the Dragon (3e Spell Compendium, pages 95-96) Level: Sorcerer/wizard 4 Components: V, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level The wing-claw vaporizes in a puff of acrid smoke, and you feel the...

Level Up had it where some of the Dragonborn heritage could pick up the Draconic Wings gift at 1st level. Draconic Wings Some dragonborn are born with draconian wings. They tend to have slender frames and smooth scale patterns, along with a long rudder-like tail to help them fly with their...

Cool. :) I was fan of 2e M&M thanks to the Ultimate Power pocketbook.

It depends on which edition of D&D you're looking at with regards to their origin. :p Back in 3e D&D, they started out as humans, elves, etc., who had heard Bahamut's call and willingly had themselves transformed via a Ritual of Rebirth into his draconic soldiers during the Dragonfall War...

Plus, WoTC already had a spell back in 3e that was quite capable of giving them wings (sans a Potion of Red Bull). All they needed to do was update it for 5e/5.5e and make it a spell-like ability for all Dragonborn.

I am reminded of Level Up's Skill Expertise. Skill Specialties In addition to having proficiency in a skill, a character may be an expert at a narrow area of specialization within that skill. For instance, a character proficient in the Deception skill may be particularly adept in...

It's cool. :) I had to ask. :)
