[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9829299, member: 56488"] I ran dragonlance,.as like the general lore of thr world around the War of the Lance up until Dragons of Summer Flame, and was running the 5e adventure. While I generally liked the adventure and updates to lore in there, I still tend to base it around the races being quite xenophobic until after the War and they finally came together, but means the humans, dwarves and elves all distrusted each other, the various Dwarven cultures hated each other, as did the Elven ones, the knights had a troubled reputation, wizards distrusted etc, and a feeling from the novels that strangers are generally distrusted especially if of a different race, with some exceptions (e.g. Gnomes, Minotaurs). So another race would run into similar, typically no worse, but some I think could incur even more. In this regard, I dont think Tabaxi,.Drow or Tortles would incur any greater reaction, Orcs may get more reaction for being similar to goblins / hobgoblins, though at same time Solace seemed to tolerate Fewmoaster Toade and his goblins (while distrusting Tanis etc despite them having lived there) , and so would have been case by case and in discussion with the players. Re the dragonborn question, the characters were all strangers to each other, and the Towns / Cities they visited, so vouching wouldn't have worked. Their deeds / actions would get them there, just slower than otherwise. [/QUOTE]
