[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6795688, member: 6778044"] I still use most of the published material, and one of the reasons I love running in the Realms is that it provides a shared environment that other players can already 'know.' Since the dragonborn are literally relegated to their own sections in the sourcebooks and, as far as I know, only featured in one series of novels, if your introduction to the Realms was via novels other than Erin M Evans, you wouldn't even know they were there. But yes, I'm talking about my home campaign, not Realms 'canon' which is a tough target in itself. To each their own. I am admittedly out of the loop on the novels, having skimmed through them but not sat down to read them yet. But are they even [i]mentioned[/i] in the Sundering series of novels? Or any Salvatore or Greenwood novel? Oh, yes. As I said, I'm not against the players having powerful characters. The 'dragonborn' in this current campaign looked a lot like an elf, with a slightly different appearance. Looked elvish, but exotic. As long as he could remember, he wore this anklet, that grew along with him and he couldn't remove. They didn't stick with the game long enough, so the on-stage quest didn't lead to fruition, but he's still an NPC that is helping rebuild a keep that they inherited. During that process (along with werebear that already lived in the ruins, he did later discover what the anklet was and how to remove it. That's when he found out he was not a half-steel dragon as he thought. He was a very young (20ish) steel dragon. The player never knew that, and I was particularly looking forward to the point when they discovered that in game. I love the idea of powerful secrets and such, and have had all sorts of 'overpowered' players like incantatrixes, and a spellfire user. Ilbranteloth [/QUOTE]
