[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9803662, member: 22779"] Thus my confusion. He's not referencing anything I'm actually talking about and his concerns have nothing to do with the conversation at hand. 🤷 As far as dragonborn in Candlekeep, again, it's so frustrating talking about this stuff with people who obviously have never actually run these adventures. Yes, you are right, there are a couple of NPC dragonborn in the initial pages. Who are then completely ignored and play absolutely no part in any of the actual adventures. Two Dragonborn NPC's plopped into an adventure with literally over a hundred named NPC's is hardly countering my point is it? My point is, as it has always been, that dragoborn and tieflings, despite being in the PHB, have virtually no presence in the actual settings for D&D. I can name a dozen settlements for any other PHB race in the Sword Coast alone. Where is a Dragonborn settlement? Goliath settlement? Can you name one? Over ten years, what, about ten AP's set in the Sword Coast and there isn't a single example of where your Dragonborn character might come from. Not a single example of where an Aasimar or other planetouched character might come from. 2024 races? Ok, fair enough. They're new. But, Dragonborn have been in the PHB for over a decade now and we still have ZERO information about how or where they live in the Sword Coast other than a couple of throwaway paragraphs and a tiny number of NPC's. Again, I have more information about how GRIPPLI live in the Sword Coast than I do Dragonborn. [/QUOTE]
