Dragonborn: Boobs or No Boobs?

[GameOgre]

Boobs are never a bad thing and in D&D due to the youngish nature of many players boobs are already ignored as a valuable resource.

Im all for Boobs on everything. The Boobdragon Attack on Waterdeep in 846 was one of the few exceptions.

Im thinking even a monster or two. Something like a Boobholder"beholder".

" My God man! Look at the size of that BOOB! I cant attack it! It's perfect!! NOOooooo!!"

Also a few Feats wouldnt be too off the mark.

Come on like there isnt a distraction feat calling out for boob inclusion?

No boobs. It's just silly looking.

This is an amusing thread. I had no idea that gender dimorphism was so important to some folks.

Dragonborn do present an oppertunity for a different family model than the mammalian standard. Do Dragonborn even raise their young, or do they lay a clutch in the hot sands and leave? Maybe the clutch hatches all together and survives (or not) together until they are year old, at which point an existing warband will allow them to join. They reach full physical size by 5 years old but sexual maturity at 50, when they largely retire from adventuring and join hidden desert cities.

a) dragonborn females larger
b) dragonborn males more colourful.

There is something about this I really like. I have been doing some reading reading on mating and this makes some sense. Isn't his found amongst some species of birds? I might be way off with this...

No boobs. I like the idea that the females are bigger than the more colourful males.

The Monster Manual medusa has boobs despite being reptilian. Of course she needs em to make with the sexy and lure men to their doom.

But if you're looking at the issue from a real world biology perspective doesn't the same problem arise?

The mistake here is trying to apply realism to D&D. D&D's not realistic. At all. It's a big old mess of four-armed apes, exploding ice monsters, things that shouldn't be able to fly but can and plants that walk around.

I always vote yes to boobs but Where is the option for More and Larger?

1.) Plane Sailing there are entire regions of the net devoted to that sort of thing
2.) Boobs=Good
3.) Egg laying species haven't evolved that way here but nothing makes it impossible
4.) This brings up an omission of the system where is the boob magic?

hoo-ray for boobies

Well, since there was already such a HUUUUUGE demand to have the dragonborn race included in 4th edition ( :\ ), I'd assume this issue would have already been decided by generally canonized house rules and fan art.

This argument always arises and almost never works for me. Logic doesn't have to go out the window when a single element of fantasy enters a work, or even a dozen elements. If egg laying reptiles with giant breasts are within your logic comfort zone, good on you. No one is making a "mistake" by placing it outside of theirs.

Where are these pictures anyway in Races & Classes? Because I don't think I've seen any in the previews.
