D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

[W'rkncacnter]

It's weird that no one wants evil orcs but we are going to do a draconic caste system based on scale color.

nobody said the kingdom was good aligned.

also i don't really have a problem with evil orcs so it's really funny that you used that as an example towards me specifically

Sure. I don't think anyone wants a boring setting, except Greyhawk fans.*

I do not know.

*I kid! Pitchforks down.

Pitchforks are the least of your worries!

ok so im having trouble understanding what you mean here. every dragonborn color is a noble house...but then there's commoners who just wear brown? or do you mean the commoners have brown scales and "wear" is a typo

Dragonborn of colors of the official true dragons would be nobility.

• House Black
• House Brass
• House Bronze

etc

Commoner Dragonborn would be Brown

in either case i wonder if it'd be more interesting to split it by dragon type. so like maybe the metallics are the nobility and the chromatics commoners/warriors and gems are like the merchant and/or philosopher classes. or maybe the chromatics are a warrior nobility and the metallics commoners. just so commoners have a little more variety then brown

In my own setting, metallics are warrior nobility, chromatics are merchant nobles, and gems are science/psionic nobility of different countries.

Commoner Dragonborn are Brown or Iron colored.

And there is a ritual to partially or fully change color. Rather than uniforms, noble dragonborn color their armies' scales.
