[QUOTE="furysmuse, post: 6535579, member: 6790043"] I wonder what was the thought process behind giving dragon born fewer perks. They are not the norm in my game. They are rarely seen, as are Half-orcs, tieflings and Half-elves. All dragon born, tieflings and half-orcs are treated with various forms of fear and fascination. Some are drawn to them because of their rareness, their willingness to just walk into a small town, their beautiful colors, and others walk on the other side of the street, make religious signs towards them, or outright try to get them out of their town. It's a mixed bag. But, it certainly is a race that is built in such a way that you prolly won't choose it unless you just want to be cool like that. I am reluctant to hand out another dark vision in my game because there are so many races with it already, but I do like the idea of advantage on charisma based skills, or adding in proficiency to charisma based skills. I think it would be interesting if other traits that belong to each specific dragon type might emerge. Gold dragon born have a higher wisdom, for example. Or perhaps, something more fluffy: green dragon born have extra long legs, bronze dragon born have webbing between their fingers and toes. [/QUOTE]
