Why can't they breathe something else?

And there is mythological precedent for at least some variation, dragon-like beasts have breathed poison quite often.

I can see the appeal in both, having a variety of interesting breath weapon types or just going old school firebreathing skylizards.

>Red dragons breathing fire and blue dragons breathing ice or whatever makes sense, but it just feels a bit special snowflake to be honest.
>Green iguanas living in trees and marine iguanas living on beaches or whatever makes sense, but it just feels a bit special snowflake to be honest.
They're different species of dragons, so they have different abilities.

>>54613054
I do, though I usually tend to just pick out a handful of the much, much wider selection of dragons and include them in the setting.

For example, I'll make use of Green Dragons and have them be the evil ones living in forests, and have Gold or Brass dragons as fire breathing ones that live in mountains and deserts, the two coming into conflict often, but that'll be about it.

I think it works better if instead of a full spectrum, you take the handful of types you need for your game, and then have those be the only ones. If you only want fire dragons, then that's still an option to simply that, though if I were to do so I would still probably include Red Dragons, Brass Dragons, and Shadow dragons of a fire variant, mainly to offer a bit of variety to the types of draconic encounters there could be.

More like symbiots.

Depends how you mean "parasites". I assume economically speaking?

I mean, for the most part they're scavengers, right? Their main economic income streams are "kill thing, take stuff" or "find thing that's already dead, take stuff".

Arguably, tomb raiding like that is reinjecting 'dead' currency (i.e. stuff that's just sitting in a dungeon and not actually being used in the economy) back into circulation. Like, if King Shit of Fuck Mountain gets buried with 10,000 gold pieces, that's 10,000 gold pieces that stays out of circulation forever unless someone raids Fuck Mountain. It's like the excessive saving problem, only worse.

2nd for ork boyz are better point for point than genestealers who will always be third best at melee

Blob of 20 Fulgurites in a 2k Admech army, yes/no? I fight a lot of Bangles and Marines of all stripes, seems like they'd do a decent job of protecting Big C, my Dunecrawlers and snipers from melee. Also look kinda fun. Anyone actually got to use them in games?
Was planning on running 20 and buying them a Triaros when we get those, as well as praying we get some decent gear in FoC.

He has a duty to arrest the rapist and make sure that they are prosecuted by the laws of their homeland.

What about the resulting baby?

Paladins who get raped become slaves to the cock, and generally abandon their career in chivalry. I can furnish documentary evidence if it would help.

No.
>Why or why not?
Because the only games they play, if any at all, are Android shovelware.

My father taught me D&D and instilled a deep love in me of games of all types. I took up Magic because his then-girlfriend, now-wife, taught me to play and encouraged my interest in it (I now work in Magic as a job). I took up D&D because of his encouragement as well.

However, while working on a gaming project together, he cut me out of his life, threw me out of the family, and ordered me never to contact him again. I haven't seen him, or my 20-year younger brother, in three years. I don't even know where they live now.

So no, I don't play with my elders anymore.

Considering he isn't Griffith anymore once he became a godhand apostle, you tell me.

Cities and infrastructure but not too much to stop things from feeling open for exploration.

IRL?

Big time career politicians tend to avoid them like the plague since their small size makes corruption easy to root out.

Just look at Singapore and compare it to the EU Russia and United States.

Sound's good to me.

But who the fuck does that? And how? Give some examples, please, OP.

Lastly, the Ranger. The ranger isn't elf like in the original draft, but is actually a human and receives the appropriate modifiers. He's a slavic man from modern times who happened to be born with pointed ears, who slipped between dimensions and landed in the D&D world while hunting with modern bow and arrow. He had drawn the bow beforehand and let go from the shock of his surroundings suddenly changing, and the arrow shot into the neck of an assassin who was about to kill a wood elf chieftain. The wood elves assumed that the slav was an elf, and that his unique arrival and his complex-looking bow was proof that he was the one who would bring the elves into a new age of prosperity. He has since been pretending to be the legendary elven savior in front of them because he's terrified that everything in this new world would kill him the moment he turns his back, and he doesn't want to give them an excuse to do so.

So, what was originally supposed to give me normal-ish adventurers with actual personalities has resulted in me running a campaign for a masseuse with literally healing hands, a bard who is prepared to defend his virginity from an endless barrage of sluts, an autistic wizard that is astounded by everything, and a slavic not-elf.

Also, my original campaign is now out the window, because even if I stretch the limits of credulity, there is no way that these characters would be remotely interested in geopolitical disputes between different factions of dragons, and their philosophies on the treatment of their unfortunate humanoid "subjects". With Murderhobos I could just shrug and send them off to kill dragons until there was no one left to have political disputes with, but I probably have to start from scratch on this one.

tl;dr Elf slav, what do?

It sounds like your players want a light hearted adventure. I know you want things to be serious, so try and meet them halfway. Put them on adventures where they'll get some sort of a personality story benefit, like a bunch of one shot stories and then ease them into the campaign once they are invested enough in the story.
Allow the characters to be a little bit wacky and play to that - these guys seem like they could become reluctant heroes instead of murderhobos.
So it is an improvement.

How about you make the danger of the tomb something that cannot be killed?

It's said that many liches used that tomb as a base because the tomb offers a wealth of necromantic power and knowledge. But actually it has never been used by liches. Only by necromancers. They never had a chance to make it to lichhood, you see.

This tomb is pure evil. Actual pure evil. Far beyond the kind of selfish desire or hate that a human is capable of. This is the kind of evil that is truly unkillable except for the complete obliteration of continents and mountains. Whatever goes through those doors will suffer. And the deeper you go, the more you suffer. And when you've suffered enough, the tomb gives you two doors more. One brings you back to the surface, to tell all about the suffering you had to endure in the Lair of the Lich, and that the Lich surely must lurk deep down there, spreading its evil on a hoard of magical artefacts and gold. The other door leads to your inevitable demise. Who knows how many necromancers, paladins, tomb raiders and adventurers are bound down there in unlife, to suffer until the end of times?
