Neverwinter’s Tyranny of Dragons Update Adds Dragonborn Race

Taking full advantage of the buzz around Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and the “Tyranny of Dragons” storyline, Perfect World and Cryptic have announced plans to make the Dragonborn race playable within Neverwinter starting on August 14th. While it’s great to see such an addition, it’s somewhat disheartening to see that players will simply be able to employ a “race change token”:
