Dragonlance Draconian from Shadow of the Dragon Queen!

[Warpiglet-7]

right there with you...

My barbarian “Mogar the Fat” was an epic 1e character.

Renowned for his six of 7 12s rolled for 7 levels of hit points but who could not hit anything with his 18/33 strength! Called the tree for ability to soak damage! Ah, the old days…

With my first fat character

Even without armor (in fact I was ignoring it) I can't tell a difference between dragonborn and draconians

Don't most draconians have tails?

So do a lot of dragon born.

No official dragonborn art features tails.
WotC even created two versions of dragonborn art, one with tails for MTG and the same picture without tail for the use in Fizbans.

Yes but then so do the Dragonblood dragonborn of the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. PHB dragonborn are tailess but again its about defining ones own canon. With four or so different dragonfolk races around now its not always clear

That was an official illustration.

Yea, but from the Tal’dorei campaign.

But I get your point. I dint see it myself but I do understand.

This games fun can sometime balance on a knifes edge of imagination and verisimilitude that sometimes these things loom larger.

Draconians almost all have wings as well. The Aurak’s having no wings look the most like Dragonborn

From Margaret Weis

I have been assured by a person with the DL game team that the draconian bronze/copper error was caught and corrected. I appreciate them reaching out to me.

As it was already said its from Tal’dorei which only became official later when WotC came in due to its popularity. But initially it was just a private game and did not follow WotC internal design guides.
But for all setting and pictures where WotC is the original author Dragonborn do not have tails.
