Dragonborn - will you ban them?

[Lord Fyre]

Because people are making very firm decisions based on evidence that's sketchy at best.

Oh come on. We in the US (as a country) do the same thing every year when we go to the voting booth in November (and sometimes in February if there is also a Primary)

How can 18% of people intend to ban a core race before they have even seen it?

Perhaps they don't use core races in their campaigns?

 

[Mistwell]

Because it isn't something they want?

How can you know before you see them if you want them?

This isn't really a rules/mechanics issue. Some folks just don't want dragonpeople in their campaigns.

How do you know it is "dragon people"? How do you even know what "dragon people" means until you see it?

I have a Human, Pixi, Half-Dragon Fey'ri, Half-Dragon Human, Shifter, and Azer in my current 3.5 party. I have no problem with Dragonborn.

How can 45% of people intend to allow a core race before they have even seen it?

FIFY

 

[Shortman McLeod]

Which of the guys in that picture is a member of a bipedal race descended from dragons?

I thought it was self-evident, sorry. The one on the right.

 

[Shortman McLeod]

Neither of those are dragons. They're both aliens.

If by "alien" you mean "someone not from Earth", then every D&D character is an alien too.

But we have a nice consolation prize waiting backstage.

 

[SPECTRE666]

Gonna wait to see how they are implemented. I don't mind them much, since I like Dragons in my Dungeons and Dragons.

QFT!!!

 

[Fishbone]

What the hell is this? We get gnomes totally axed off and orcs/half-orcs are in the air but we get friggin' Lizardmen and evil sorcerers?
When did D&D turn into a bloody Conan the Barbarian novel?

My game follows a fairly Tolkienesque feel (though set in FR) and I intend to ban dragonborn, tieflings, warlords, and warlocks from the standard campaign. If I ever get around to playing an "evil party" then I'll open them up. They otherwise strike me as "evil" characters to play, sort of like the assassin from 1E (and 3E).
