[QUOTE="Lucius Drake, post: 4218468, member: 56277"] Firstly and flippantly: Have you SEEN them? They have armored scales, huge talons, horns, tails, and huge talons! (I like talons) Their place is wherever they darn well want it to be! :-P Secondly and seriously: My first 4e game will be a quasi-historically based mythological game set on an alternate earth, as was my first long-running 3e game. I am setting it in merry old England with the return of the Fae. The sidhe and bane-sidhe (technically not exactly the right word here, but I'm not an Irish historian and my players will understand what I mean by 'bane-sidhe' and it fits better than 'dark elves' does) both will be emerging from beneath the hill and with them they bring all those traditional beasties from legend and more. I hope that the MM has rules for playing Changelings, since they will be useful to have around. Warforged are the suits of mystical armor that the Fae imbued with sapience just for laughs and because they were bored of their usual animated armor death-matches not producing any 'blood' or screams of pain. Tieflings are easy as the battle-form that some fae (normally just elves and eladrin) take in order to more easily frighten mortals. The same could be true of dragonborn, but I think I'd rather make them as the actual spawn of dragons. Each and every one of them aspires to be a true dragon, but a very few (PCs and maybe an NPC to open their eyes) realize that there is more to life than greedily acquiring sacks of gold and terrorizing the country-side.
