Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenes" data-source="post: 4379408" data-attributes="member: 604">I really don't get the "so we can tell if a dragonborn is female" argument. What do GMs do, present a picture and no description? Or present a detailed description, but neglect to mention the gender even if a dragonborn PC would know the gender?If I had a lizardfolk player character in one of my campaigns, and they'd met a lizard folk NPC, I'd not play some metagame of "... and the character has a crest of maybe 15 cm, surely not 20, but could be 10, harhar, guess the gender", I'd describe the NPC as "female lizardfolk, above average size, darker skin, etc." to another lizard folk PC. If the PC spots the gender based on some colorisation, some different build, or some scent, I don't really care, I simply assume a male could recognise a female of its own species. (I could imagine that this was not the case, and that would bring some plot-relevant changes, and would not be without potential, but boobs on lizards clearly indicate that the gender is meant to be clear and easily spotted.)I'd require some knowledge or perception checks for people not familiar with lizardfolk to spot the gender, if it was important - but honestly, in most situations, it wouldn't be important at all, since no one but lizardfolk would even care IMC.</blockquote>
