[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4494528, member: 710"] Oh, Dragonborn "fans" are around here. But I must admit I don't like them primarily for their "dragon" nature (though that's nice), I also like them because they give me a "Klingon" vibe. I currently play a Dragonborn Warlord in one campaign, and am quite happy with race and class. Though I still want to play a Tactical Warlord and a Dragonborn Fighter eventually... Ultimately, I don't see the need to defend myself against the accusation of power-gaming. For once because I am always power-gaming and I am not ashamed of it, and for other because Dragonborn is not a "power-gamer" class per se. The only class that fully benefits from the synergy of its racial ability score modifiers (and in my 3.x shaped mindset, that's the critical aspect) are Warlords. If someone would ask me for power-gaming advice, I would not per default suggest a Dragonborn, and if he believed it was for any given class, I would recommend reevulating his choice, but if someone just claims Dragonborn are a power-gamers dream come true as a critic against 4E, well, at some point, I get tired of defending myself or an edition of its flaws. I'd prefer to deal with "actual" issues. [/QUOTE]
