Dragonborn Info

[Bold or Stupid]

Nice image analysis. Jobs to be had in that field I hear.

Dragonborn sound pretty powerful. The +2 Cha is surprising to me, I would have figured a +2 Str, along with a +2 Con or +2 Wis (the latter since they were supposed to be cleric types).

C.I.D.

They're supposed to be Paladins, not Clerics. Str&cha bonuses Mkae them good Fighters, Paladins and Warlords. This was what I expected, didn't everyone get the memo?

......No I didn't. Kindly link to it or please get the tone out of your post.

Since you're asking him for support for his claim, you should provide the same. Do you have a link that says dragonborn are ideal clerics?

Str +2, Cha +2
Size Medium
Speed (some number less than 10) squares
Vision Normal

Languages Common, Draconic
Skill Bonuses +2 History (not 100% on this), +2 Intimidate

Dragonborn Fury When you're Bloodied you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls.
Draconic Heritage (Something about using something else instead of your Constitution modifier, but I can't make out for what)
Dragon Breath (Blurry text)

Dragon Breath (Red-coloured Power) Dragonborn Racial Power
Encounter * Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning or Poison
Minor Action (I kid you not!) Area blast 3 (I think)
Target All creatures in blast (I think)
Attack Strength +2 vs. Reflex, Constitution +2 vs. Reflex, or (blurry) +2 vs. Reflex

I think it lists the damage as 1d8 + Constitution modifier, but it gets mighty blurry there, and the paragraph continues off the edge of the screen. Edit: it could even be "2d6 + Constitution modifier", this part of the picture is really hard to make out.

Through the power of guessing, you could probably clear that up. But it'd be guessing. Ah, well, I'll try cause I can

Speed - probably 6. Everything else but Dwarves and Elves appears to have a speed of 6, and I doubt they'll change this for the Dragonborn.

Draconic Heritage - What do we know about Constitution? It applies to your Fort defence, your Endurance skill, and some powers. Oh! And hit points. Maybe you use your Charisma/Strength score instead of your Constitution for starting hp? That's my most outlandish theory

The Dragon Breath bit under Draconic Heritage will probably just say 'You can use Dragon Breath as an encounter power', just like the Tiefling entry said for Infernal Wrath.

As for the actual Dragon Breath description, I'm pretty sure it'd be 'Close Blast 3' and the final blurry attack line will be 'Dexterity +2 vs Reflex'. I think there'd also be a bit about choosing which type of damage you deal in the breath weapon description.

Ideas, anyone?

Edit: As I see Poison is listed as a damage type I think we can guess what Green Dragons will be breathing

I did a quick google to jar my memory. See link below. It relates to the ole 'mystery race' tidbit WotC floated last Fall. .. When they said the mystery race would be a good cleric.

Sorry I wasn't more straight forward.

EDIT: The link above was the first corroboration I found. I would have search EN World, but the server kept crapping out.

No tone intended. Also I have no links off hand, but check the old Dragonborn threads on the Wizards boards. The major evidence for Paladin was and still is the Bahaumut connection mentioned in Races and Classes along side the strong warrior/defender vibe the article gives them.

Such admiration is most readily earned through direct action according to a solid creed. Direct action means decisiveness and courage, and a solid creed is usually a devotion to a draconic god. In a dangerous world, and driven by military customs, dragonborn take up arms to make their way.

That seems very paladin to me. Faith and strength of arms. Clerics appear to be more faith alone, so paladins.

Well lets be at peace then. At least dragonborn maybe better paladins (or maybe clerics) than (DDXP) halflings ......

I'd like to point out that the Cleric does seem to rely somewhat on Charisma and Strength, so a Dragonborn still makes a fine Cleric. He's also probably a better Cleric than he is a Fighter, as I don't see Fighters needing Charisma so much.

So the Dragonborn racial description may well recommend Cleric, Paladin and Warlord.

Well in either case all I can say is, Dragonborn Religious Civil War!!! Bahamut vs. Tiamat!
