Dragons are strange.. Maybe it is because they get so old and are still physically fit? Other Dragons get boring after a few centuries.DandD said:Seriously, I mean, the very first example of a Half-Dragon in the 3rd edition Monster Manual was that of an Half-Red Dragon/Half-Troll... If you're so horny that you would even bang a troll, it just proves that dragons would also do it with ants, non-sentient rocks, plants, goblins, humans, elves, dwarves, horses, fish and beholders.
They're literally sex-obsessed geezers.
I sure hope that 4th edition dragons tons down the horny procreation-aspect that all dragons in 3rd edition suffer. If anything at all, other dragons should show contempt for dragons who do it with non-dragons, the same as we humans look down upon people who do it with goats or dogs.
Yuck, disgusting.
Who would have thought that AT-ATs could be soRule 34: If you can think of it there's porn of it on the net.
Rule 35: If there, in fact, no porn of it then there soon will be.
So humans can't be as strong or stronger than giants, because that wouldn't make any sense to your average person, okay. Since ogres (in 3e) have a STR of 18, within human norms before even taking level adjustments into account, humans should be, I dunno, 9 feet tall in D&D land? Of course that puts the halflings back to being as strong as someone twice their size, so we'll have to bump them up further to 6 feet tall...UndeadScottsman said:Not to say the current status of Halflings is better or worse than the old, but there's a difference between what makes sense scientifically and what makes sense in general when constructing a fantasy world. Scientific inaccuracies can only bother those who know the specific laws and theorem's that are being broken; general concepts like "guy the size of a small child having near the strength of someone nearly twice his size" is a lot easier for the average person to see as inconsistant as it's not scaling, even though it's actually scientifically possible (seriously, chimps, while smaller than humans, are crazy strong)

While D&D takes things to extremes even D&D doesn't get as strange as mythology in that respect. Also even in the realm of RL science there is significant debate as to just how the line should be drawn for species. There are quite a few animals that are considered to be in different species that can produce fertile hybrid offspring.Andor said:A species is commonly defined by the ability to breed and produce fertile offspring. By that token elves, orcs and humans are all a common species. For that matter everything is apparently a species of dragon. Changelings are the same species as any humanoid they can shift into.
