Dragonborn elf?

Favored Class: You retain your original favored classes and
gain fighter as a favored class. You can multiclass into the paladin
class freely.


Why are dragonborn so weird?

What's the weirdness? Dragonborns have Favored Class: Original one and Fighter (in the case of an elf, Wizard and Fighter), and remove the Multiclassing restriction of the Paladin Class.

If they were going to remove the multicassing restriction on paladin, wouldn't it make more sense for paladin to be their favored class? And particularly, why modify paladin, give them fighter as a favored class, and leave their original favored class? It's weird. It gives them two favored classes, which no core race has, and further, a special case for paladin, which no published race anywhere has. Even though paladin is not their favored class.

Elf wizard 3/rogue 3 becomes a dragonborn... he can now take fighter without a penalty, because it's a favored class, but not paladin... although, hey, he can multiclass freely as a paladin.

Is it just me or do humans make the best dragon born? You keep all your skill points and your feat, it seams, while elves loose literaly everything, and end up with stats like a human. Gnomes and dwarves still make good dragonborn though becuse they now get a +4 to con, but what gives?

for the sake of balance, should humans loose thier racial feat and any human skill points they have spent?

Re-read the quoted rules. Human Dragonborn lose their bonus feat (any feat can be lost) and the appropriate ammount of skill points.

BAHAMUT: I have need of your services, human.
BOB: Of course, my lord.
BAHAMUT: But first, I must make you less capable and less versatile. Sadly, this means as a 7th level fighter, 1st level Kensai, you will technically no longer qualify.
BOB: I live to... what was that again?

Ya, it would suck if the DM did that to a player. Bad DMs though can ruin anything.
