D&D 4E 4e Iconics?

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Now, how do you make a tiefling a core race in a heroic game? Though evil characters and campaigns have always been a D&D sideline, I can't see making a half-demon creature a spokesperson for heroic gaming.

I'm bothered by this.

Antiheros are often staples of fantasy -- and look, now we'll have an entire race of antiheros.

If that's a tiefling, they decided to make it look suspiciously similar to WoW's Draenei...

Draenai, the what, uncorrupted fiend-progenitor race?

No, they wouldn't EVER try to crib from Wow...

This will not be the iconic tiefling. I bet the iconic tiefling will be a "she", and exibit as much demonic skin as possible given her armor of choice.

'cause drow are so 1999.

which would, in a perfect world, mean mostly real world (inspired) stuff, not wobbly swords of molten metal.

I don't see molten metal... I see Klingons.

...not wobbly swords of molten metal.

You know, whenever I see that sort of weapon design -- and it's becoming altogether a far too common sight in D&D for my tastes -- I can't help but wonder two things...

Where does he sheath that thing?

...and...

How does he sharpen it?
