[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8593280, member: 93670"] ok? Dragonborn? huh? Your comment in post162 seems to be the only mention of dragonborn in this thread up till that point, did you quote the wrong person or type in the wrong window? I'm not sure what you are trying to get at. As to dragonborn, I frequently have [I]severe[/I] problems with players wanting to bring in a dragonborn. That hurdle is [I]"most dragonborn come from q'barra, & are frequently assumed to be lizardfolk by people from other regions. rising from the last war page 122 talks about q'barra but they exist in other regions & we can talk about those if you have one in mind. oh yea bahamut & tiamat are some other setting, dragons in eberron are very different & kinda like the vorlon in babylon 5 in some ways that set them apart as mysterious chessmasters. skim this page or two & lets talk."[/I] Usually trouble starts around wanting them to skim a couple pages & talk to me so I can get them onboard in the proper setting or when they come back a week later with a multipage backstory set in what is not Eberron." I may deviate from the official setting & tend to favor Kannon over Cannon when they clash, but I do my best to use an official setting to ease the process of fitting into the setting for players making the hostility that comes from saying that backstories need to conform with the setting something of a double facepalm headscratcher.
