You don't give a poo poo about the annoying klepto pedo halflings. Understood. But what of the enemies? Oh poo poo, it's time for the Draconians So there are no dragons now. None. Bupkis. But and so yet still the major enemies (the orc standins) are... draconians. Draconians are made from the eggs of good dragons, which there aren't any of, bc science. I don't know why they are loving everywhere and are the generic opponent, but I can tell you the following: each draconian that dies does so in a spectacular way. Let's start with the grunts. They're the effective orcs, here. I'll quote again from that thing: the goddamn wiki thing posted:With small wings Baaz are able to flap their wings allowing them to run very fast intimidating their enemies. Baaz draconians turn to stone upon their deaths, usually trapping any weapons left inside the dying body there. If you're using a sword (objectively and subjectively the best D&D weapon), that sword is gonna get stuck in the stone guts of the lazy reptilian orc standin that just lives here.

Raistlin is the mascot of toxic nerdery and the wizard supremacy that has damaged so many editions of the game: -totally self-serving -physically weak, yet more powerful than everyone -looks weird and a social outcast -has dumb jock brother that he passively aggressively harasses and also secretly envies -incel -etc

Draconians, but more so Let's have another drink from the font: that wiki again posted:While bozaks are not as gifted as their aurak cousins, their arcane mastery is still quite formidable. The second most powerful not-an-orc, who comes from dragon eggs that... where are the dragons again? And how many bad guys come from the good eggs? Haha, I'm just kidding. No answers exist to these reasonable questions. Anyway, they're named after 80s West Coast slang for the scrotum. I'd accuse the creative team of slipping one over on TSR, but no. One half is Mormon; the other half came up with the Dragonlance setting. All I can do is flaccidly link to the Digital Underground song that most frequently says bozack; you might also refer to various Achewood comics: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtc8xMnPf1U

doesn't touching raistlin also suck the life out of you too, or am I misremembering that? Like his deal with the devil for his magic that gave him the eyes and skin make him such a drag that even willingly touching him bums you out?

I thought he was just a nerd who meddled with things no mortals wot of and became even shittier as a result. Tbh I don't think I ever read the original novels, just the series titled dragons of *some celestial body* I think and the ones where they go back in time and a gully dwarf almost fucks raistlin

Did they ever find the Dragonlance? I don't remember if they found the Dragonlance. Now that I think back to it, I don't really recall the Really Obvious D&D Characters Adventuring Party searching for a Dragonlance at all. There was definitely no big, dramatic conclusion when they finally got the dragonlance. In fact, I don't think they were questing for the dragonlance at all. That was just the setting name. Which is weird, because I 100% read a Richard Knaak prequel book about the origin of the Dragonlance.

I'd say spoiler alert but its not like anyone is seriously gonna check it out. He ends up becoming literal Super Sauron The Magic Rap God Of All Time and he and his stupid brother tag team some poo poo that I don't remember but he's still "woah is me'ing" it up even as he's Immortal Power God Guy.
