But already with an elf things get difficult. They have a total different world view, and due to their longevity a totally different time scale and scale on what is urgent and what not in the lore of many established settings . A halfelf is the better choice for race in most cases.With the more exotic stuff like dragonborn nobody can say how to do this right imho. How much lizard is in them? What preferences do they have? Baking in the sun and waiting for the next meal?To make a meaningful contrast to stock humans, the other races should have other moral compasses, other desires and ideals. Only then the differentiation is complete.</blockquote>
