Dragonborn

This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you.

Nowhere in the fluff does it say Dragonborn have tits, just this one picture in a sidebar. Goddamnit.

Dragonborn are a race from Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. Because of their stats Dragonborn make the best Paladins.

Inexplicably, Dragonborn are described as maturing very quickly compared to humans, walking within a day or two of hatching and reaching the same level of development as a ten year old human child at the tender age of three, and then going on to reach adulthood at the incredibly early age of...fifteen. Exactly the same age as was given for human adulthood in 3e (unspecified in 4e). Also, despite being reptilian, they somehow have mammary glands, meaning, yes, they somehow have boobs. Why? Fuck if I know. Maybe they wanted to troll /tg/ even harder than just the insanity of 4e. Fucking scalies...

They have fine scales over all their body, with colours ranging between golden, scarlet, rust, ochre, bronze and brown. The scales aren't metallic, they feel like leather. They have blunt snouts, frills along the jawline, and a headcrest of long ropey scales (think the dreadlocks that the Predator alien had). There used to be a huge dragonborn empire, but it's gone more than a dozen generations ago (and Dragonborn live only as long as humans do), and now they're just rootless clans. They still hold onto the pride of once being on top, and they insist they were always honourable in the good ol' days, so feel free to play them like fire-breathing Klingons, or musclebound Russian gypsies.

Dragonborn in 3rd Ed

They were called 'half-dragon templates', and had no fluff other than "Dude, a dragon fucked your mom? Duuuuudde!"

• Hit Dice: bump it up one die type, no larger than d12
• AC: +4 racial bonus to base armor class

Apparently, Argonians are Dragonborn too. Hurr. Oh look, another Argonian! Argonian Lusty Argonian maid indeed. Spears don't work that way, Silly Argonian maid. Oh yeah, polish it. Argonians have tits too. Oh look, an awful meme as well. Just look at this furry shit. Yes, those things actually work.
