For one thing, there are some people on the boards who ONLY play Race X. I'm certain you know the guy who will play a dwarf or an elf above all else. That has nothing to do with being "Oh look at me I'm so special" and everything to do with that race jivving with that player.Two, some of us are sick and tired of Elves dwarves halflings. I have had so much Tolkien I could throw up. I seriously would just start throwing cash at a setting that had NO humans or demi-humans. I would adore getting as far away from Humanity as possible, because I am a human every day of my life. Give me a dragonborn, an undead, a tri-keen, a kenku, a warforged, a lizardfolk, a shifter, a changeling, a kobold, an anthropomorphic animal any day and I will love that thing like it was my long lost brother.Third, I find it utterly ridiculous to say "Oh yeah, sitting down at a table and pretending to throw fireballs, make pacts with devils and dead gods, kill monsters, and explore strange and alien worlds is totally normal, but if you want to play a strange race, you've crossed a line and the only reason must be emo fanboyism or wanting to be special".Fourth, considering the number of people who in 3e played half-dragons or Dragon Disciples, or in previous editions played saurials or lizardfolk, and the sales figures for Dragon Magic, people like dragon/reptile races[/i. They are Popular. It has nothing to do with being special. The game is called Dungeons and Dragons, after all; they are intimately tied with the game.Finally, Dragonborn apparently get a +2 to Str and Cha. This makes them real attractive paladins just from a stats POV.</blockquote>
