What about artic campaigns? How does the cold blooded dragonborn handle that. Do they have to spend 14 hours sunbaking just to be able to function? What about usage of poisons. Does cold based damage cause stunning or loss of dexterity since it affects their blood temperature more so? How do dragonborn develop a self-identity, social skills, or even the most base aspects of interpersonal definition and relations if they are never actually taught by a parental figure? Can there be such thing a dragonborn town if there is no such thing as a dragonborn family?To sum it up. In my campaigns, dragonborn will have boobs. Not because I am a perv but instead, simply because if I assume they are reptilian and thus unable to have boobs, I also have to make my dragonborn players socially inept characters with no effective understanding of interpersonal communications and a vital need to sit in the sun for a time period or potentially die because their blood is too cold while also blocking them off from various temperature ranges, not even taking into account inner-mountain dungeons, anything underground for long periods of time much less anything to do with the underdark. Yes, there are many ways to say something is female. But the most obvious IS indeed boobs. So that'll work for my fantasy. Game. I'm playing a game in which people create something out of nothing, defy gravity, fight creatures that fly, breath pure elements and where cold is a sentient lifeform. Boobs on a creature that looks to be a human with some scales and a bit of plastic surgery isn't my chief concern if I'm bringing in evolutionary patterns and physics.Also, if there is no family for a dragonborn, there is no real learning for a dragonborn. Not in the way we think of it. So, this means we have a creature that lived at least a portion of its life fully on instincts. No language, no writing, no abstract concepts, pure instinct. This means that, even after mutliple years in civilization we have an entire race created towards "Thurg no like elf, thurg smash" because of a lack of even the most base concept of social interaction. Which would you prefer people? Clearly sexually defined dragonborn, or a race with more problems than they are worth?</blockquote>
