[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9123908, member: 7006"] That's a big issue between Sorcerers, Warlocks, and certain Species... they all can overlap in story and narrative to the point where it becomes messy and eventually silly. Draconic blood in your ancestry, draconic body type, or make a deal with a dragon to gain draconic magic. You could have three ways to accomplish relatively the same thing. Heck, we could throw in a Cleric that worships a draconic deity too for that matter, and I'm sure there's probably been someone who designed a paladin Oath Of The Dragon as well. Or like in 4E when you could be a vampire (dhampyr) via your race, or a vampire via your class. So you could be vampiric bard or an elven vampire, or even a vampire vampire! A double vampire! Just like the dragonborn draconic sorcerer is a double dragon (heh heh). At a certain point we players all just needs to relax about this stuff because WotC and/or other designers/companies will eventually give us 10 different ways to skin the same cat. So if any individual DM needs/wants some sort of cohesion to their game's identity or format for this kind of stuff... they have to just world-build it themselves, rather than expecting WotC to do it. If a DM thinks having a Cleric, a Divine Soul Sorcerer, and a Celestial Warlock are pointless overlap... they just have to remove the ones they don't like from the game-- not get persnickety that WotC refuses to make those changes for them.
