[QUOTE="Fenes, post: 4354782, member: 604"] Plant Dragonborn into a swamp, and give them tails, and there's lizardfolk - it's not as if all lizardfolk have the same customs, some even work as mercenaries. A breathweapon doesn't make tailless lizardfolk into dragons. And changing the core fluff is what I hate about 4E. Suddenly, lizardfolk is accepted everywhere in civilised lands, the god of justice is a dragon, and so on - no, thanks. There was no Tiefling or Dragonborn Empire in my campaigns pre-4E, there won't be one even if we use the 4E rules. I won't change a background that worked for more than 15 years (and far longer for those who started playing earlier) just so we can have ugly lizards in the party. If someone wants to play a dragon, I'd be more likely to let him or her play a dragon instead than some "dragonborn" - at least it would be more interesting, and have a better background. And for a while, "New Coke" was the official coke as well, if I recall correctly. It didn't make it "real coke" either. [/QUOTE]
