Not all of the PHB races are common. Tieflings, Aasimar, Dragonborn, etc. are still pretty rare. Then be from the Sword Coast. Communities don't spell out every single member that lives in them, and we know from the established Forgotten Realms lore that Dragonborn have spread out in fairly...

No, but you can go with the history that has been provided. 1) The ruler of Djerad Kethendi has sent me out into the world to help others and show the world what Dragonborn truly stand for. We need to raise our standing in the world to gain allies so that we may continue to hold off Unther. -...

How much background are you looking for? The Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide talks about Dragonborn, from their family life to their philosophy and religion. It's not a ton of space, but that's par for the course for this edition where lore has been pretty sparse.

I think the problem you are having is because they keep giving us lore on the sword coast and further up and down that coast, and now also the Dales. The Dragonborn population is almost entirely centered in one country that hasn't gotten any write-up, and that is the only place where there...

I voted for fighting monsters, overcoming obstacles, social encounters, and treasure. For treasure it's not straight up gold for XP(unless playing AD&D), but rather for acquiring something truly momentous, or managing to get the treasure out from under a monster without a fight. You might call...

Considering what they did to Wheel of Time and Rings of Power, I'm also sad that it's Amazon Prime Video.

Just don't get yours from Russia!

Do they still have that special retirement package?

Clearly an AI generated smiley face. 🕵️‍♂️

I've been doing that more and more lately.

@Umbran wasn't built in a day.

Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer, Planescape, Ravenloft, Eberron, Exandria... I'm tired of official cosmopolitan settings where all the races have homes. Give me something more unique, where they don't all live. Where the rules of play are slightly different for setting reasons.

The problem is that you are talking about the demographics of core book settlements, which of course will have demographics that place the core races as primary. They are talking about the setting demographics, which includes the entire known world and all the humanoid settlements, cities...

In Candlekeep Mysteries(Page 10) the First Reader of Candlekeep is a Green Dragonborn. One of the Great Readers is a Bronze Dragonborn. I haven't run any of the adventures from that book yet, but I did remember those from when my players went to Candlekeep for some research of their own.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter that they designed the setting to showcase 3e, because 1e, 2e, 4e and 5e work just as well. They may have designed it during 3e and with 3e in mind, but it's not in any way TIED to 3e. I can run it with literally any other edition and it's still...

It's even harsher on crafters than adventurers. At least the adventurers are earning a decent amount of XP. There are more than a dozen. Even Dragonlance, one of the least supported, had 5 magic users of 17+ in level, and 3 are 18+. In mass production, it would be a struggle to get to 2nd...

Sure. It's right here. 1e DMG page 11 "Therefore, when any ability score reaches 16, then it should be ruled a wish will have the effect of increasing the ability by only 1/10th of a point. Thus, by means of wishes (or wishes and/or alter reality spells) a charisma score of 16 can only be...

We were talking about con, not levels. They aren't ever going to need 10 wishes, because 17 and higher constitution doesn't give more hit points.

It's memorized. It takes less than a minute to cast. Then you spend half a week(on average) resting and memorize it again, moving on to the next magic item. Raistlin: 20th Par-Salian: 18th Fistandantilus: 20th+ Ladonna and Justarian were merely 17th. And that's with one of the least...
