Dragonborn - will you ban them?

[frankthedm]

It depends on how I can incorporate them into the "Lizardfolk" template of previous editions. I've allowed Lizard-Men characters before.

I assumed Wotc made the dragonborn so they could leave Lizardfolk primitive, lacking empathy, thicker scaled than a starting PC should be and willing to eat their own who fall in combat. The dragonborn strike me as much more like the Dray from Darksun

I'd prefer to ban them, but I'm not dead set on it. I would have prefered a half ogre as a core race and i might repace Dragon born with options for lizardfolk, centaurs, half ogres and / or ogres if the MM has well balanced options for such.

I ban things based on mechanical problems, not flavor issues, so given the info we have currently is entirely flavor, I voted allow.

I'm a special snowflake, so I have another idea, which is to keep running 3E games in the Wilderlands, or in Freeport, or in the Iron Kingdoms, or in a homebrew world. My version of these places does not have elves or gnomes, let alone dragonborn.

I ban things based on both, because I'm one of those moonbats who doesn't like chocolate on my peanut butter, or in this case, computer game on my D&D.

Considering I created "chromatic lizardfolk" as potential PC races for my campaign, yes, I'll definitely be including them in some form. I answered Snowflake, because I can't honestly answer "as is" until I've seen the final product.

Banning Dragonborn? Of courso NOT.
Kinda like the idea.

Warlord, on the other hand, I could ban

And I'm one of those people who doesn't imagine computer game influences where there are none.

I love lizardmen and kobolds. I'll rename them, and use them with gleeful abandon.

If I ever play 4e, I will play it as is, including Dragonborn, at least for a few months before making any change.

Oddly enough, I don't like reptilian races in general, but I really like kobolds. Maybe I'll just make them Small, call them kobolds, and otherwise leave them be.

...ancient kobold empire... heh heh heh...
