#1 ZSpark85 Apr 27, 2015 16:05:34	(Asking for a Player of Mine, who does not have an account, I am the DM but I know little of FR as well haha)   Hi, I want to make a Dragonborn Barbarian.  I have read all of the articles I could find on the FR wiki about Dragonborn in FR  but it is still very little to go on.  here is what I do know:   + Their nation Tymanther fell on the Faerun nation of Unthar, destroying it. + They are devided into clans + They are very militaristic  + They hate true Dragons   We plan on playing in the post Sundering era to stay within the new meterial.  None of us really have much FR experiance and I just wanted to make sure my guy fit the setting.   So here are some  Questions:   1.  Does their hatred for dragons include both Chromatic and Metallic dragons? 2.  How well known are Dragonborn on the Sword Coast ?   3.  Would most people be able to know a DragonBorn by sight? 4.  Would most people have at least heard of Dragonborn? 5. How close is the DragonBorn description in the PHB to the DragonBorn of FR?     And as always, if you can add any information of Dragonborn in FR that you think would be helpful, just let me know! It would seem that a Path of the Berserker would fit better, but can you see a cool way that a Dragonborn Barbarian would go the Path of Totem Warrior instead?   just curious, Thanks!
