Draconians are already listed as Dragonborn in the PHB but with magical powers instead of a breath weapon so I'd expect them to expand on the the new dragonborn with new subraces. Kender are effectively halflings with sleight of hand. I definitely think the focus should be on the races of dragonlance, those outside it should be left outside it. They've done it with the MtG settings so no reason not to do the same for Dragonlance.I like the thought of there being a single subclass for some classes. Knight of Solamnia could be a paladin subclass, wizard of high sorcery would be a wizard subclass. I'd like to see a couple of sorcerer subclasses that focus on the path magic of the old saga system, one for sorcery one for mysticism. These subclasses could perhaps have different abilities depending on the order. If I was creating the subclasses for the knights of solamnia, I'd likely not worry about moving through the orders within the subclass, that can be part of the factions themselves, I'd probably just end up going the route that I believe 3e eventually did and just allow a character to join any order without having to progress in the lower ones. Some subclasses I could see are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Paladin: Knight of Solamnia, Knight of the Skull</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fighter: Knight of the Lily</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wizard: Knight of the Thorn, Wizard of High Sorcery</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sorcerer: Mystic, Primal Sorcerer</li> </ul>Various factions could exist that grant abilities as you move up in them. The more power you have as a high sorcerer the more abilities you gain relating to your orders magic, first faction ability would be a bonus from the moons themselves. The knight of Solamnia would could move through the ranks from crown, sword, to rose. Perhaps even a white robed sorcerer could join the order to become one of the kingfishers.The last few books I'd read had the minotaurs conquering Silvanesti and the remaining qualinesti and silvanesti establishing a new home. I'd say set it after these events and set the various wars as history. Even the gods have changed, Takhisis is now dead and Paladine is a mortal (though keep a listing of both as gods for those who wish to set their game during an earlier era), and Mina is now a god who is part of the neutral gods. A setting book should probably devote a small section to the overarching history of the world. Things like the fall of istar, war of the lance and the return of the gods, the war of chaos, age of mortals, and the war of souls.</blockquote>
