[QUOTE="The Green Adam, post: 4340595, member: 50821"] Ah the arrogant and extremist notions of gaming fandom. Sorry for writing a response with an opinion of any kind as it apparently promotes such responses as "heaven forfend they change the race line up at all" and "Blindly following tradition is bad". The questions was and remains "Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?" Now please tell me you sufficiently chastised the original poster for his use of [B]actually[/B]. Y'know, just to be fair. Its a matter of taste. I love change and I love the unusual. If you'd read any of my "30 Years of Weird" threads you'd know that I make it a point of trying bizarre and experimental campaign ideas. I just feel that the two species don't really fit D&D as I think of it and I definitely don't like the way the art for them looks. There are Dragon Men in at least one of my old game worlds but they look, I guess, more like Dragons. Thinking back on it now, I don't think I've ever used a Tieflings of any kind in any campaign ever. Nor do I recall every encountering one as a player. Cat people, Dog people, Centaurs, Fauns, Talking Animals, Goblins, Sentient Golems/Warforged, Homonculi-like wizardcrafted creatures and even a Futuristic Android Solider...but never a Tiefling. Now any and all of those aforementioned characters can be cool in a D&D game if the GM and players are into them...but I don't expect to see them in the basic, core rules. If WotC really wants to impress me then let's see a section on "Creating your own PC races and we encourage it". AD [/QUOTE]
