[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 8803223, member: 3867"] The PHB suggests that dragonborn can be used for draconians anyway. I would like to just think that dragonborn are either the children of draconians or a lesser version. A good draconian might be a [URL='https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/Noble_Draconian?so=search']noble draconian[/URL]! As for orcs... They reason they were excluded is because draconians replaced them as the archetype race for evil shock troops. That was fine for a while, but a lot has changed since then. Doom Brigade and Draconian Measures showed draconians with free will. And now with 5e, orcs are being seen as more than savage monsters. There has been the occasional mention of orcs in Dragonlance anyway, but those are all considered to be kender tales. As it stands now in 5th edition, there's no reason not to have them, but you might need to do some work to make them fit in. They can be reskinned as half-ogres easy enough. Or you might say they exist, but only on Taladas. Hobgoblins have always been in Dragonlance. Dragonlance is great with time travel and alternate realities. For a really great sourcebook on just that, check out [URL='https://www.dmsguild.com/product/3252/Legends-of-the-Twins-35?affiliate_id=2126']Legends of the Twins[/URL]. There are six alternate timelines in there (three penned by yours truly). The Ursoi might be covered by the Dragonlance Nexus soon enough! I don't think that WotC is going to touch Krynnspace, but I sure might. Check out [URL='https://dragonlancenexus.com/wp-content/uploads/dh_guide_krynnspace.pdf']Dragonhelm's Guide to Krynnspace[/URL]. I think Margaret Weis said it best... So yes, war is a very important aspect of Krynn, but it's the backdrop. It isn't the focus. [/QUOTE]
