#1 bashfull Aug 08, 2008 20:05:36	I like playing characters and using/doing things that make the settings special or unique: shifters or warforged in Eberron, for example. I'm about to start playing a dragonborn warlord, because it's new and special. But I want to play it well and, as yet, there isn't much meat that I can find to fill out dragonborn. Am I looking in the wrong places? Can anyone point me to the right ones?

Would they cook their meat? If they don't sweat, do they wash as often as other races, or do they wash only for hygiene? Would they wear body paint or make-up/tattoos/piercings? Do they experience romantic love or are they too pragmatic for that? Do they lust? Would a burp be considered polite or rude? Do they use cutlery or eat with their fingers? As an ancient civilisation, one imagines them enjoying wine, but to excess? I'm really interested in this new race.

I'd imagine that they'd be as inclined to cook meat as humans are though, as they don't have any inherent resistance to the potential problems of eating it uncooked. (Plus, cooked is *easier* to eat.)

#8 Neutronium_Dragon Aug 09, 2008 23:20:52	TBH, ST klingons resemble D&D drow a whole lot more - for all their talk of honor, it's pretty much a "don't get caught or you'll be called out" society just like the drow are.
#9 The_Stray Aug 12, 2008 20:47:55	Yeah, Even Worf gets disillusioned with them as the series progressed.
