Be honest though, the initial response is almost 100% based on an illustration. I don't even remember his name, but the guy who did most of the artwork in the 4E PHB is not really a good illustrator (sorry dude). At least not compared to the guys wotc uses frequently like rk post, wayne reynolds, steve prescott, mark zug, jesper ejsing, jim murray, etc.Those guys could make anything seem authentic and interesting. Not cheesy and rehashed (like the tiefling and dragonborn currently look)It's not just the thing itself, it's the way it is presented and marketed. I was ok with tiefling though I wondered where aasimar was. dragonborn just looked like crap. wotc lost me with 4e when i saw what character the entire thing lacked. even 3e was basically todd lockwood and sam wood for like 80% of the book. it gives a specific attitude and feeling to everything. when you just have a bunch of random illustrators thrown together with clashing styles it just feels crappy.whoever is in charge of art direction currently, or more likely, whoever they answer to needs to be slapped around a bit.</blockquote>
