Hey, that Bozak isn't going to explode itself!Why does their armor not cover their heart and lungs?

Maybe because as soldier fodder (which is what they really are), they are more dangerous dead than alive, so that might be intentional. Dunno, just throwing out guesses.Why does their armor not cover their heart and lungs?
I demand this become at least as big a controversy as 'dragon boobs'.I think it's an entirely suitable body shape for a human too.![]()
What's the difference? I don't mean to sound flippant, it's a serious question because I can't tell the difference between dragonborn illustrations and the top image in the OP.

Even without armor (in fact I was ignoring it) I can't tell a difference between dragonborn and draconiansWell, in all the armor and such, how much should one really be able to tell the difference between humans, orcs, and elves? Or like, orcs and hobgoblins?
I have a penchant for heavier characters and lament not always having a mini that fits the image.I think it's an entirely suitable body shape for a human too.![]()
Sex appeal.Why does their armor not cover their heart and lungs?
Because if WotC would use dragonborn as draconians it would also mean that draconians would not be as powerful as they originally were as they still have to be useable as player race and also the iconic abilities would be toned down to be player character compatible. And that would imo devalue draconians a lot.What's the difference?

Maybe that's why I've never been a huge fan of dragonborn, because I grew up in D&D with draconians being the bad guys.
okay but there is a tactic in purposefully sending your draconian out to die and pop killing more soldiers... anyone they kill on the way TO the pop is bonus. Imagine the fear of engageing an enemy that can if you WIN kill your men.Hey, that Bozak isn't going to explode itself!
on roll20 we use pictures from the web alot. do you know how hard it is to find D&D art of slightly overweight characters is (not impossible, but it takes some digging).I have a penchant for heavier characters and lament not always having a mini that fits the image.
2 of my favorite characters have had more than a little paunch!
Because fantasy illustration armor design isn't based on actually protecting body parts.
Ah, I misread your comment. You're talking mechanically, and I'm talking visually.Because if WotC would use dragonborn as draconians it would also mean that draconians would not be as powerful as they originally were as they still have to be useable as player race and also the iconic abilities would be toned down to be player character compatible. And that would imo devalue draconians a lot.
Visually the draconians are also rather distinct. Especially their colourations which links them to the true dragons. Also several of them have wings which dragonborn lack.Ah, I misread your comment. You're talking mechanically, and I'm talking visually.
I do! I drew my fat barbarian myself.on roll20 we use pictures from the web alot. do you know how hard it is to find D&D art of slightly overweight characters is (not impossible, but it takes some digging).
I mean for all the talk of 'seeing yourself' it is one of those things . I guess we all want ourselves but more inshape (in theory)I do! I drew my fat barbarian myself.
I am currently playing a heavy cleric of wee Jas. I tried to do a fatter character on herofirge but it too was lacking
Well I want this image I have.I mean for all the talk of 'seeing yourself' it is one of those things . I guess we all want ourselves but more inshape (in theory)
right there with you...Well I want this image I have.
Like with the paunchy dragon kin or whatever.
Like a scar or a beard a paunch can just add
Character.
When I play “fat” I do identify as someone who can be paunchy! I often play high strength and low dex.
My fat cleric will bear hug ya with his 16 str. But is probably not doing ballet with his dex of 8. He does overeat when they feast. He happens to be food focused which is fun.
Well food and magic/power obsessed but he is an individual! I enjoy his power and food obsessed self!
