Many people play the game to kill dragons and their ilk, not to play one. Some players started playing the game when Dragonlance came out (or played through that timeframe), so a Dragon race might seem like playing a more traditional monstrous race like a Hobgoblin.If one looks at the current list, traditional races have 8 to 36 votes with an average of 22 (9%). Non-traditional races have 55 to 111 votes with an average of 75 (31%). That's over 3 times the average. Some of this is to be expected, but I also think that WotC went a bit too crazy with 4E and monstrous PCs.Tiefling at 68 is 28%. Not nearly as high as the Dragonborn at 97 (40%), but still coming in the middle of the pack. I think the reason Tiefling is better received is because it has the Warlock natural synergy and people like playing Warlocks. Playing a Dragonborn Paladin just doesn't seem as natural and hence, doesn't quite have the draw.</blockquote>
