My copy of D&D: The Book of Dragons showed up on my doorstep around 5 pm EST today. :) Right now most of my attention is on the two-page spread on the Dragonborn aka the Ash-Marked Ones. Any idea on why they are sometimes called the Ash-Marked Ones? Page one on the Dragonborn provides a bit of...

I have also received notification that mine has been shipped out and will receive it soon.

In the Shadowrun setting, all of the metahuman races are still members of Homo sapiens. Elves are Homo sapiens nobilis. Orks are Homo sapiens robustus. Halflings are a metavariant of Dwarves from the British Isles.

The second half of this post has a loophole. ;)

It's easier to be subjective than objective about something. Being objective means you have to put aside any biases you might have and for some that's not any easy thing to do as it's a part of who they are.

True. She could have done that, but then she would have left in order to spend some time getting Thanos out of her hair, off her skin and out of her uniform. :p A little too close and personal even for her. :p Edit: This scenario did happen btw between Superman and the Flash in DC's DCeased...

As a fan of Mutants and Masterminds 2e, I liked using the RPGs Point Buy system to create customizable superpowers that make your character feel unique and thematic.

4e wasn't better, it was too different and didn't look or feel like its' predecessor for anyone who was into 3e/3.5e. So when Paizo came out with 3.75e D&D (aka Pathfinder 1st edition), fans of 3e flocked to it. Changing from one edition to the next one should be gradual. Something old and...

If your character had wings or the ability to breathe air/water, you certainly would have a different outlook on life. You and your species would be able to do things the other species couldn't do without the aid of magic or technology. And as a result might look at those who don't have your...

They're probably thinking the same thing. "How is it that I am flying with wings like these again?!?" :p

Sometimes a race or several related races become evil, not because of their own doing, but because of the acts of a deity. Goblinoids (or Goblinkin as they are called in the Exandria setting) became the way they are because of the actions of a deity. From the Critical Role Wiki: During the...

Heritage in Level Up covers traits such as size, speed, age, senses and a signature trait such as Elven trance or a Dragonborn's breath weapon. A character is born with these traits. As for a Heritage Gift , it's essentially is a feat you were born with. Are they racial? Probably not since race...

And which only just recently (5.5e) began to talk more about the other two pillars of game play- social interaction and exploration. Not so much in terms of rules for social interaction and exploration, just more talk in getting the players to focus on them as well.

The upcoming book, D&D: Book of Dragons might provide some explanation for the Topaz Dragon's odd wing structure. If it delves into dragon biology somewhere in its' pages.

I've heard that the dragons in the Discworld series use their farts to take off into the air. ;) I don't know if their farts count as a weapon though. Unless, of course, you are standing downwind of one as it takes off. Fire damage only. :p Unless it's the rare Hummingbird Dragon, an offshoot...

The delayed turn in their usage make them more like the Delayed Fireball spell. You don't see their immediate effect until the following turn. Instead, they are meant to catch your foes unaware. ;)

Being able to breathe air/water and being able to resist the environmental conditions that far below the ocean's surface would be considered a part of their Kuo-toan heritage. If not that, then a heritage gift. In fact, the Merfolk heritage in the Manual of Adventurous Resources: Complete has...

Like this fella?

True. If WoTC ever decided to come out with a Heroes of Faerun 2 book for 5.5e, I would like to see Tymanther in its' pages.
