[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 3919026, member: 3867"] Dragonlance also has dragonspawn. In the end, that's all that really matters. ;) Draconians have already found the means to reproduce, so that kind of rules out that theory (though it's an interesting one). Also, don't forget that Dragonlance has the noble draconians as well. Whether that rules out dragonborn in Dragonlance, I don't know. I suspect that they'd only be playable after the War of the Lance, and no later than the Chaos War. Or rather, that's when they could be created. They could live on past the Chaos War. I wouldn't just rename the halfling. Looking at 3e, they have some things in common, but a bonus against fear does not equal total fearlessness. There's also taunting to consider. Also, I disagree with the assessment that kender are disruptive. Kender aren't disruptive; players are. Of course, this is a losing battle... I disagree with this assessment. Tinker Gnomes have been a playable race since Dragonlance began. What happens when you have a player who wants to play a tinker gnome and he can't? I'm going to say no. Not unless tieflings can shapeshift. A huge theme of Dragonlance is the Balance of Good, Evil, and Neutrality. It is hard-wired into the setting. Perhaps this can become just a flavor piece or perhaps DL will need its own alignment rules. I don't know. Lawful, yes. Rarely evil? Gotta disagree there too. Minotaurs as a whole worship Sargas (aka Sargonnas), the evil god of wrath. While the Kazelati minotaurs worship Kiri-Jolith, they're a minority. The minotaur nation, as a whole, is LE in alignment.
