Other characters have elven heritage, but aren’t half-elves. That was the setting that followed the PHB. This was really the case with all settings at that time except Greyhawk. Realms elves were different than the core 1e elves, and it was one of those many things that helped differentiate the Realms from our other campaigns.
I’m sure at the time we noted it, and said, “no, we’re not changing it,” since by then we already had characters and stories with that established. I had forgotten about the difference in the 2e PHB. My statement come from the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting (the original gray box from 1e). Although they may still be considered “not elven” by other elves.īut something like a Dragonborn might only be able to have children with other dragonborn. For example, a half-elf/half-elf child is a half elf, but if one parent is human, the child is human with some elven traits, and if one parent is elven, then the child is elven, but perhaps some sign of their human heritage. This might make a difference in different generation. They aren’t a half-spawn, they are their own race entirely. Of course, eventually they wanted dragon-people that weren’t evil offspring from a specific campaign, and a different type for each metallic and chromatic dragon.ĭragonborn would be the dragon equivalent of lizardfolk, or the various fish folk. There were five types, depending on the type of dragon egg. In Krynn (Dragonlance), draconians (the first half-dragons/Dragonborn in D&D) were the result of a magical corruption of metallic dragon eggs. So no “dragon sex” and the dragon would always be the father (because the human/elf, whatever is giving birth), and only dragons that can take a humanoid form without a spell could do so, making most of the metallic dragon offspring.
Well traditionally half-dragons would have been the offspring of a dragon in humanoid form.
