Canon is wrong, dragonborn have tails

[-] Primarily0617@kbin.social 82 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the official canon states that tieflings can't be purple, and yet the official artwork for a tiefling is a purple tiefling

Possibly the most ignored sentence in the PHB, even by Wotc themselves:

Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red.

Purple is a shade of red, trust me I'm a colorist

I can do you a few of the most ignored pages in the PHB: I've yet to meet a table that uses Trinkets

[-] termus@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

I had a Tortle Kensei Monk (Ninja Turtle) that had 77 on the trinket table. "A gemstone that looks like a lump of coal when examined by anyone but you." In one of dungeons we were in, I lost it trying to bribe our way out after the BBEG captured us. I was bummed about it ever since, it was my prized possession. Later on in the campaign I came across a genie who asked us to run off or kill the Aboleth that had taken over his home. In return he would grant us a wish. I've never come across a genie ever in my 25 years of playing DND. The group was reluctant to fight it, so I lied and told them we would all get wishes. We defeated the Aboleth and go to ask for wishes. I ask him if we can all have wishes and he shuts that down fast. Before the group can come to a consensus about what to wish for, I blurted out that I wish for my trinket back. Poof, it appeared and now I'm one happy tortle. My companions, not so much.

...i love you; this is why i play RPGs...

Our group likes to roll on that table and then never bring up their trinkets in game. Such a missed opportunity

It counts if you consider every color with some amount of red in it a shade of red

Example: #dcd2f0 (my tiefling's skin color)

Official Dragonborn PHB description say Dragonborns are brown/rust coloured, with some being rust-copper green.

Artwork on the same page is a red scaled dragonborn.

[-] Skua@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

The full sentence is "Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green." So a red one is kinda like a real life human with ginger hair; uncommon, but not weird. There's also the bit about dragonborn with a particularly strong influence of their draconic ancestor shortly afterwards that says, "These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor - bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze."

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

You omitted that the draconic colored scales are from extremely rare and isolated clans.

[-] Skua@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Rare, yeah, but still a valid possibility. But the main part I wanted to bring up is that the sentence you were referring to actually already includes "scarlet" as an ordinary colour, so the red one in the accompanying picture fits just fine

[-] Kryomaani@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The player characters are generally adventurers fated to achieve greatness, for them the extraordinary is just ordinary.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

This was settled years ago

TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR!

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

Another image I can hear thanks to Bill Wurtz.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

I recognize that the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision i've elected to ignore it.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Speaking as a person playing a soot-black tiefling...

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

This is the real reason I stopped playing D&D. The OGL stuff was just a smoke screen.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

You want a tail, play a Kobold!

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Why are Japan and Korea the same color on this map? 🤨

[-] Spuddaccino@reddthat.com 22 points 1 year ago

It's a screen cap from a video talking about Japan's involvement in World War 2, where they invaded Korea.

The video for those who are curious. Absolutely worth the 20 minutes.
