So I had to set that straight.As for the bestial races that just look like human women in latex suits, if there's such a demand for them, I can't really say that they shouldnt put them in the game. If other people want them in their games, good for them, I suppose. But not everyone wants them, so I will hope they at least don't retcon them over existing material.I can always say: "No Dragonborn". Just like I can say no to Warforged and Shifters (not a big eberron fan), when I'm running the game. I can opt out of a game with players who are using them, like I opt out of Pathfinder games with a gunslinger characters, or 3.5 games with ToB classes. If I really dislike an option, I can just not play with it. This is particularly viable because often I get stuck running the game; so I have direct access to controlling which options are/are not allowed.If I ever see big breasted kobold women though, thats the sort of thing that might stop me from buying the book. Because it would be going from adding something new that I dont like (which I can ignore/not use), to replacing something old that I did like with something new that I hate. And that means that the thing I did like will be supported in this in future products as something else that I wont ever want to use again. That that, would be rather frustrating.Art direction matters. Otherwise they wouldnt put images in the books.[Edit]And to be clear, I've never been a big fan of the dragonborn anyways, and I'm fine with not including them, but this "Give it Boobs!" habit has always bugged me. Admittedly I didnt think there would be any female players who considered it so important to keep them.I dont think a male dragonborn, for example, needs to have a similar build to a burly orc, I'd actually have preferred something more like the poisondusk lizardfolk or an actual dragon.</blockquote>
