[QUOTE="Haldrik, post: 8065847, member: 6694221"] The thing is, even "biological" is optional. For example, officially, a player who wants their Dragonborn to have natural armor from a thick scaly hide, needs to choose a feat to do so. I noticed Mordenkeinans said that Monster Manual entries for demons only represent "broad trends" as defined by human demonologists, but that actual individual demons "defy those tendencies". The same is true for any species − especially for a magical species. There is merit if a setting presents a default entry that represents a "typical" member of the species, while also mentioning there is diversity. This allows a player to go with the default, or else take time to customize it. In any case, the differences between the species that are in the Players Handbook are minimal, and are mostly cosmetic or cultural. [/QUOTE]
