Pretty sure horns, fire breathing, and spectral wings all qualify as things lizards don’t have.But what draconic is there when they don't get anything that makes a dragon not a lizard?

Six limbs (two of which are wings), fire breathing, and horns.That's an interesting question: where is the line between Dragon and Lizard, physiologically-speaking?
I’m firmly in the boobless dragonborn camp. I also prefer digitigrade feet; I know that was a question that came up earlier in the threadYou need to add "boobs" to your feature list. We've had huge debates about this in the past on these forums!!
I'm kidding . . . sorta. We did have big debates on this very important issue though.
I really, really hate 'spectral wings' as a replacement for actual wings. They're almost as bad a flavor to me as the whole 'spirit animals' deal.Pretty sure horns, fire breathing, and spectral wings all qualify as things lizards don’t have.
But I thought they were draconic humanoids? Mammals gotta express milk.I’m firmly in the boobless dragonborn camp. I also prefer digitigrade feet; I know that was a question that came up earlier in the thread

Everything's a hologram now.
I mean, not strictly true, as playpus (platypuses?) prove. More importantly though, in a fantasy setting, “humanoid” doesn’t have to mean “mammal.”But I thought they were draconic humanoids? Mammals gotta express milk.
Or they get kicked out of the club.
In my world there isn't one. A dragon is a type of a lizard. They even have just four limbs like GoT dragons.That's an interesting question: where is the line between Dragon and Lizard, physiologically-speaking?

Yeah, same on both counts. Whether dragons are exactly lizards or not, they nevertheless look like reptiles, so mixing in mammalian features is just weird.I’m firmly in the boobless dragonborn camp. I also prefer digitigrade feet; I know that was a question that came up earlier in the thread
If they were to have wings, they ought to be like the Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline)'s Dragon Wings feature. Physical, but magical.Yeah, I definitely agree. I don't need wings on the dragonborn, but if they have them, they need to be physical. The whole point of the wings is that they have them because the dragons do, and dragons have physical wings. Spectral wings might make sense on aasimar and such.
