[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 6787779, member: 6786252"] Actually, the dragonborn originated in the 3e book Races of Dragon, which started adapting Dragonborn and Spellscales and half-dragons into a distinct identity instead of just others. Its the direction the game, as a whole, was moving towards before 4e. I find it equal parts amusing and frustrating at how people blow up at 4e sometimes. 4e, for all its claimed changes, actually didn't introduce a lot of the changes beyond the AEDU system. So much was taken from Eberron and other later 3.5 era books and merged into the default setting. Even the dragonborn v. tiefling war was inspired by Eberron's early history of dragons versus fiends. Either way, I don't really care about everyone else's edition complaints. I like the modern dragonborn, though, to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed at the mechanics. Dragonbreath really could use a boost, and we could really stand to see some racial variants here. [/QUOTE]
