Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorhook" data-source="post: 4777755" data-attributes="member: 58401">I quite like Dragonborn, but I'm willing to concede that their art direction needs refinement. I'm fine with the lack of tails and horns; what I mean is that I think they should be... sharper? They seem too round to me... I'm not totally sure what it is that bugs me about their look, but I'm sure it will evolve with time. (I might just be tired of Wayne England's odd looking faces...)In comparison, I quite like the look of Tieflings, though I think they need clearer guidelines to their artists regarding tail size; they appear to vary wildly.I suspect it's simply his true colours showing.Here's what you said. (I'm quoting for my own reference.):[sblock=Originally posted by rounser]I don't think it's witty or clever, but I'll not give these contrived imposters the time of day by calling them by their poorly chosen name. They deserve mockery. Heck, I save to disbelieve that "they" exist as a core PC race in any D&D milieu worth a damn.[/sblock]Based upon this comment, it's pretty obvious to me that you hold either Dragonborns or 4E in irrational contempt. I say "irrational" because you offer no explanation. Worse, your comment is also a thinly veiled shot at 4E, implying that it isn't "worth a damn."You seem to be suggesting that neither Dragonborns nor any other sort of anthropomorphic dragon have a place in the D&D core rules as a PC race, but you haven't made it clear why you think it would be best that way; obviously the notion of "dragon-people" is popular enough, so why should they be excluded?Does it make a difference how long they've been a part of the game? In my opinion, it shouldn't; rather, inclusion ought to be (and AFAIK, is) determined by a combination of interesting possibilities and popular interest, both qualities which Dragonborn (or the "dragon-people" they represent) seem to have in spades.</blockquote>
