Races & Classes spotted?

Something happening once doesn't really prove anything. If I win the lottery once, that doesn't make me more likely to win the lottery in the future.

But the opposite is true as well no? It doesn't make you any less likely to win the lottery in the future.

Not unless they are dropping the whole once I was this race and now i went through the egg ritual bit, I think 4e Dragonborns are a new half-race born of dragon parent and humanoid parent. If the racial traits at certain levels is true then we might them getting breath weapon and wings at later levels.

I am thinking they are just renamed Lizardmen myself. Sorry PC crowed, Lizardfolk. Maybe to make them sound cooler? Some well buy anything with the word dragon in it. Maybe a race book with each color offspring in about two years from now?

If I want to play the spawn of a powerful being that mates with a human, I already have Scion.

Just more proof that no matter what comes out, there will be people complaining about it.

Had it been Orcs, there would be a lot of bellyaching over "They're taking away my evil unredeemable race! It's becomign WoW!"
Had it been Minotaur, it would have been "D&D is becoming more like WoW!"
Had it been Drow, the bellyaching over "Angsty fanboys" and 4 elves in the PHB would have been heard 'round the world.
Had it been Warforged... my lord.

Dragon race only polled at 8% hatred.

Not the worst news I could've heard. (TG its wasn't orc. Keep them monsters!)

Woulda liked Goliaths. Glad it wasn't Warforged (love 'em, but not in core). Happy medium.

I hope this is true. Otherwise, I might just forget the three new races altogether. :\

Didn't the book "Dragon Magic" come from the fact that the two words put into a D&D book title that sell the best are "dragon" and "magic"?

Still, wonder what their niche (I hesitate to say favorite) class is with sorcerer no where near the starting line? (human: any, dwarf: fighter, elf: ranger, eladrin: wizard, halfling: rogue, tiefling wizard, half-elf: multi-class, dragonborn: ?)

Imagine if it had been catfolk...

No, it was only 8% who said they hated draconic guys the most. I'm sure there are plenty of people who, like myself, hated draconic guys but hated something else even more.
