Ten Reasons you will love Dragonspawn

[Klaus]

Would they be... vestigial wings?

Demiurge out.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

They're the thumbs of what would become wings, if the bluespawn had grown to be a dragon. Useless, but freaky!

If you write your WotC congressman, there is!

I like the way this man thinks!





I'll finish this piece anyway, but do write your WotC congressman!

I wrote my WotC congressman. Then I got a visit by some weird dude in robes.

I hate living in Thay.

They just sound so much like Draconians. All of the talk about Spawn of Tiamat has made me want to pick up a copy of the Dragonlance setting....Draconians turing to stone on death, etc was always so cool, seems like reinventing the wheel.

My two cents...and gut reaction.

I usually skipped the baaz and used the bozaks and sivaks primarily. The bozaks were great BBEG wizards and the sivak could create so much confusion with their shapechanging ability and death throes.

Auraks were usually a bit too beefy for my campaigns, but they were even better as BBEGs.

i DESPISED draconians! My first AD&D campaign was SET in dragonlance, and the only things we ever fought was... draconians!

Draconians were designed to replace orcs. If you're DM used them any more often than a good DM used orcs, then that's a problem with the DM, not necessarily the draconians. The one thing about draconians that orcs didn't have, though was that they scaled with the PCs so that you could use them throughout a campaign.

Better than unliving in Thay, I suppose.

And they have spell resistance.

It's good!! It's so beyond good, the Seventh level of Celestia was blinded by it!

There is also the fell drakes ... originally from the new chainmail game, and iirc they were created by Bahamut to help the elves (and their alignments are good).

They were excellent, I really liked them. Given D&D stats in the MMII.
