Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kogan Vurdelak" data-source="post: 5521380" data-attributes="member: 6674523">I think Dragonborn are a great player race, stat- and ability-wise, but I can't look at them without shooting whatever I happen to be drinking out of my nose every single time because I think they're utterly ridiculous and hilarious.  I had to change them visually for my Eberron campaign in order to be able to deal with them.  I went with more of a "dragon man" approach than the original WotC-style dragonborn, which I think of as being a big guy wearing a gigantic silly foam-rubber Godzilla/T-Rex mask that he's looking out of the mouth of (no bite attack?!).  I particularly enjoy imagining the top part of the Godzilla mask flopping and bouncing around, making the mouth open and close boingily as the guy tries to see out of the mouth while stumbling excitedly into battle.Anyway, they simply needed to conform to more of a human template - like most of the other races - for me to feel like there was any verisimilitude at work.  Admittedly, my design (the green-hued one in color) is a little more Star Trekky than the original, but an artist going for a more dynamic presentation can get this style of dragonborn looking pretty sweet as you can see in my buddy Keith's blue line drawing.  His take on the actual body is a little more humanlike than I imagine them, but i think it looks really cool overall.  My players seem happy with this approach.And they don't have sweaterpuppies.</blockquote>
