Dragonlance Building a Dragonlance character, according to DDB.

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect more info than what this article mentioned.

Yeah, I don't expect much for a 224 page book. I'm shocked at the very real possibility it will even contain what the article has if I'm being honest. lol

From the Article, when talking about races:

"The people of Krynn have faced unique—and let's face it, back-to-back—catastrophes that have shaped them and caused them to adopt different customs than brethren on other worlds. Let's take a walk through the most common folk you'll run into during your adventures on Krynn. Just keep in mind your DM has the final say on available player options. (So keep that harengon monk in your back pocket!)"

And then they go on to list the following options:

Kender, Dwarf, Elf (Silvanesti, Qualinesti, Kagonesti), Gnomes, and Human.

Woohoo, I'm liking what I'm reading!

I love the idea of players thinking about how the legacy of the Cataclysm affects their characters. It's a quick and easy way to ground them in the setting without requiring a huge infodump.

Forest gnomes: "While forest gnomes exist, they are rarer than their rock gnome cousins and prefer to seek harmony between nature and science rather than pursue endless innovation."

Now I'm picturing a barechested forest gnome dressed all in black, pondering a dragon from a distance: "Your artificers were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. "

I feel like a character based on Ian Malcolm is just an unlimited source of free Inspiration rolls.

Also: We have Lizardfolk in Krynn as well.

"However, College of Lore bards and Arcana and Knowledge Domain clerics could undoubtedly find themselves dedicated enough to learning to risk their lives by taking the Test of High Sorcery. "

I didn't expect that...

I think they may have existed in some DL sources, basically as non-Mr Nevermind gnomes

One was featured in one of the early collections of short stories. It had managed to refine something it called Gnomium and then from that created something it called Plus-Gnomium...

No gully dwarves is interesting. I wonder if WotC decided unwinding that mess was all too hard and simply glossed over their existence 'rumours circulate of another dwarven people in lands far from here, but no details are known.'

I still want to play a reborn barbarian Knight of Solamnia though...
