That's correct--just like with the tiefling, the 4E version of dragonborn is different from that of any previous editions. |

There is, but the dragonborn in 4th edition have always been dragonborn, while 3.5 dragonborn are creatures that have been "reborn" as a new race after coming to serve Bahamut in hia war against Tiamat. The 3.5 origin is the one that is mentioned in Dragons of Faerun. |

I was at Borders yesterday and checked it out. Didn't they originally say that it was going to be a hardcover book last August? Because I was surprised to find out that it was paperback. Anyways, not only did the cut gnomes, but they cut half-elves as well! I also think it will be weird as to how they plan on introducing dragonborn into the Realms. I will have to check out Dragons of Faerun again and see if it has anything about them in the Realms already. Craziness all around. I think my favorite art so far for Realms supplements is 3.0/3.5e. It was way better than the art in the other 3.0/3.5e materials. |

Hmmm. I really like the 4E artwork so far, so if it's REALLY that great I might up up buying this. |

You are 1000% right. And yes, I bought it. In my defense I had a 40% coupong from Borders. And the artwork is very good. I have always been a sucker for those Making of featurettes on DVDs and stuff so what the heck. |

Personally, I am planning on reading it but not buying it. I am curious, but I do not have $20 just to throw at a book I will probably read once. And since Borders supplies coffee and nice plush chairs, I plan on at least perusing it. |

My group agreed to get this between us so that we will have a better idea as to whether or not 4ed is for us. |

A completely pointless product! Why not just release it as a web update? Hell, Dragon and Dungeon need some content. |

It does. It makes a lot of sense! |

I'll certainly go for 4E, but I don't buy previews. |

In other words, it would be nice if they tried to convince me to spend money without requiring me to spend money in order to see if I want to spend more money. |

This is a maybe. While I'm not keen on some of these new 4E ideas being used in the Realms setting, that doesn't mean I think they have no merit in any setting. I am curious, although that doesn't mean I definitely will purchase this product, either. |

It appears as though they didn't have much more going on this month, eh?
No, I won't be purchasing this pointless book.
