What about my dragonborn

[Grimmjow]

Just quickly, Dragonborn are my favorite race in the game, with warlock being my favorite class (as of just 4e marital) do we know what is going to happen to the dragon born, will they be player race?

Hopefully, they'll be taken out back and shot.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Do we know? I don't think so.

But, it has been implied that they're going for every race and class that's ever been in a core PHB.

 

[GX.Sigma]

They are emblematic of 4e, and thus deserve to be in Next, but a lot of people will instantly shut down their minds if anything resembling 4e is so much as mentioned.

They'll definitely be in the core in Next, I think that's safe to say. They might be in the player book, they might be in the monster book.

Hopefully, they'll be taken out back and shot.

Nice.

It sounds like there will be support for the broader spectrum of races and classes, but you may not see it all right away -- and perhaps not in the initial public playtest.

That doesn't mean you can't create your own for your home game.

I haven't seen anything confirming one way or the other. But if they aren't in the player's handbook, I expect they will very quickly be released in one supplement or another.

I like exotic races like dragonborns, tieflings and devas, but I'm not so sure they should be in the core rulebook.

I think they'd be perfect in the second player handbook, where we can get into races and classes that are a bit weirder.

 

[Scribble]

Didn't they say they planned to put any race that has been in a PHB in the first release?

 

[Mallus]

God forbid they put dragon-people and, ahem, Melniboneans in the next Dungeons & Dragons...

Personally, I think that both dragonborns and Teiflings should be setting centric because they both represent somthing that isn't common to all D&D settings and games and trying to shoehorn them in seems awkward.

Even though I feel that both of them should be taken out and shot, I think that those two should be in the first race book to come out after the core books are out, but I don't think that they have a place in the core rule books.

And I played with and as dragonborn and had a blast but I still think that they would be better as a non core race.
