Remember, you couldn't leave comments on red or green on that UA, only yellow. So a red vote for "I don't think the PDK should have a dragon at all" and "I don't think the dragon works as currently envisioned" WAS THE SAME VOTE. It was telling WotC that it didn't work. So I can only assume that enough anti-dragon hate came though that they went back to the original and said "what can we do to punch this up?" Rather than "how can we save the dragon rider idea?" Again, the interplay between whatever was already going into the FRAG (which if significant would force major rewrites, a timely and costly move considering we're over half done with the year and only have released two books, one itself a hold over from 2024) and the fact they needed a class to tie into the Cormyr/Dalelands chapter meant they couldn't cut or replace it. So my honest guess is that they are keeping much of the lore that will be in the DM book, but cropping it out of the player side for a more generic knight option based on the old PDK. It's a compromise that will satisfy nobody except the people who were yearning for a revision of the SCAG PDK they could use outside the Realms as well.</blockquote>
