[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9722518, member: 54629"] FWIW that lore snippet is from the UA. You keep pushing this idea that not wanting X means wanting Y but that's not necessarily the case. You can not want X without really knowing what you do want instead. I do that all the time! I personally wasn't as upset about the lore change as I was about the subclass ~ and the only reason I was upset about the lore change at all was that it felt in the UA like a retcon rather than an evolution. I'm not a fan of pet classes, and I didn't like this one because it gave you a crappy "dragon" to play with. The drakewarden ranger is better because at least it's a draconic "spirit" that has taken the form of a lesser draconic creature. The drake isn't just a seemingly stunted version of an actual dragon, which is what the UA PDK's amethyst dragon pet was. If the PDK faction allows PDK PCs to ride actual dragons as a reward for earning enough renown or similar, then I'll be a happy camper. That's how I would prefer to do a dragon rider in 5e. You earn it through play. You don't just get it for free! [/QUOTE]
