D&D (2024) No Dwarf, Halfling, and Orc suborgins, lineages, and legacies

The Draconians were corrupted Dragons, thats not what a Dragonborn is.

That's what dragonborn are on Krynn. I don't think they changed their origin story.

So are spellcasting elves.

For the love of all that's lawful and good, please take this elf cantrip discussion back to it's own dedicated thread.

I have a suspicion of a memory they’ve had to do just that on this very topic before from another thread

Dont like it. That can be it, it could have been it for 20 years, its not what it was.

The 2014 PHB literally says Dragons corrupted by Takhisis are a type of dragonborn. It's in the sidebar entitled "Draconians," which explains that the draconians of Krynn, with their canonical method of creation, are a type of dragonborn specific to the Dragonlance setting.

Which is again fine, for others who are not me.

I literally do not understand what you think the problem even is. What you think got changed?

Calling Draconians a type of Dragonborn.

Calling Draconians a type of Dragonborn.

That's just semantics. I am sure people on Krynn still call them draconians. Like they're a species of dragon people, it is the same thing, nothing got changed. All that happened was that the designers said "hey, we have these rules for dragon people, so you can use them for draconians." It's like saying that the kender are a type of an halfling.

Not rhetorical, actually curious: Do you also object to tinker gnomes being categorized as a type of rock gnome in the 2014 PHB?

Yeah a bit, but less viscerally as Draconians are monsters of my youth, and distinct from Dragonborn.
