[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7093557, member: 6704184"] [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] why would you strip all that out, anyway? I still haven't been convinced that we can't have a PC race that can't be resurrected. Or that Draconians can't just be harder/more expensive to resurrect than other races. But also...you still haven't established literally any issue whatsoever with having multiple kinds of draconic humanoids. As for the lore, that isn't how putting a race in a different setting works. You don't strip out all the lore and then leave them like that, you translate the lore to the new setting. In some settings, Draconians' origins will be in the very distant past, a blight on their legacy like that of tieflings in PoLand. In others, the PC playing them will be of the first generation. In still others they will just literally be another draconic humanoid alongside Dragonborn, with their own distinct culture and history, just like humans and dwarves. You are inventing problems to justify your dislike for a thing you don't need to justify your dislike of. It's fine, man. Your opinion of draconian PCs doesn't affect my 4e game where they are a major race, and it won't affect a future 5e DL game, if I get one going. If one shows up at your table, I'll give you the same advice I give myself when I play in FR and the stupid filthy hobbitses show up. Just pretend it's a gnome and don't let the player see the hatred in your eyes. ;) [/QUOTE]
