[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9466660, member: 7033886"] And every time they do go back to them, the Dragonborn get a little better, both in terms of appearance and species' traits. 3.5e essentially presented the Dragonborn as Half-Platinum Dragons who got to choose from one of three Level Up-like gifts (Path of the Heart, Path of the Mind and Path of the Wings). 4e had them being their own race, but they looked nothing like an anthropomorphic version of a Chromatic or Metallic Dragon. Instead, they lacked tails and sported scaly dreadlocks because WoTC was worried the players would confuse them with the Half-Dragons (who did look anthropomorphic versions of Chromatic and Metallic Dragons). 😛 It wasn't until 5e when they bore a stronger resemblance to Chromatic, Metallic and Gem Dragons. Officially they lacked tails still. Unofficially everyone was pinning the tail back onto the Dragonborn. 😋 And now in 5.5, they officially got tails, a breath weapon with a changeable AoE and ghostly wings. Speaking of their wings, which are magical in nature, can they be affected by spells such as [I]Dispel Magic[/I]? [/QUOTE]
