Looks like people are asking about the stats and racial powers - Dragonborn get +2 to any 2 stats, you get to pick which 2 during character creation. You cannot pick the same stat twice. The racial powers as currently planned for launch (note we're still on preview, and while we don't have any changes planned for these right now, it's possible something could change) are:

Draconic Heritage
You receive 5% more healing from all sources.

Draconic Fury
You have a 5% chance when attacking a foe to apply Dragonborn Fury to yourself for 6 seconds, increasing your Power and Critical Strike by 3%.

    Note the date listed for the sale: July 22nd. That's two days ago. Do you see it for sale anywhere? Charge Rewards are being ignored. And they have another 'spend your zen for rewards' promotion going. I don't think everyone's operating off the same schedule over there anymore.

    According to that, the pack went on sale two days before it was announced.
    I wasted five million AD promoting the Foundry.

    95 Euros - that is the cost of 2 new AAA games ^^

    One other interesting point is that they are also introducing 30 slot bags....

    At first Drow wasn't either - the HotN Pack came with the Menzoberranzan Renegade race. Drow only came about 60 days after release of the game.

    Oh, and the link to buy the pack doesn't work.

    Once more, with feeling?
    @Venture-1 @Venture from City of Heroes if you remember that far back. Yes, *that* Venture. Yes, I probably trashed your MA arc. For me it was Tuesday.

    Probably this race will be free to choose on Preview server (I hope so!).

    My thoughts exactly... We dont know the benefits, also the link to buy doesnt work....

    Can you guys please post the stats and everything so we can see what we get? I dont even know the price - hopefully you guys dont overprice this AND make the race worthless (as I have posted before)

    If this is going to be a +2CHA and either +2Con or Str... count me out as itll be a joke for any true fighter class in this game.

    Hopefully there was some thought here into how to translate this over to NW and not just a copy/paste from the PnP....

    eh I dont really care. Nothing in the pack I even remotely care about either. I'm fine with skipping this up. Dont beleive in buying such an expensive pack just for a race anyway. The race should be seperate and on its own to buy.

    Do you see any fancy name for the race in this pack, like "Menzoberranzan Renegade" was back then? They use the "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Menzoberranzan Renegade" name to differentiate the two "races". These are plainly called Dragonborn. In other words,[/FONT] I don't think we will see a free Dragonborn race.

    dwightmc,

    Ive got my Credit Card out - looks like the link works now ($99 base price) now is $75. Just tell me the racial bonuses and ill either charge or not.

    Hopefully you guys read the forums about this and are not doing +2 CHA as the base, but +2 Con as suggested.....

    Link to buy:http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/game-pack/detail/495-dragonborn-legend-pack

    and it's $100, $75 if you buy before Mod4.

    completely overpriced for what you get. but hey, its Cryptic so i kinda expected that.

    they'll also be shooting themselves in the foot if they dont make it possible to but the Dragonborn Race separately, as thats all i really want (and i'm sure alot of other ppl agree) and i'm not paying $100 just for a race option

    I wish we got more details on the racial bonuses/attributes. It is a stretch for me to consider buying another race after my experience with moon elves. Would be a riot if they were just a slightly tweaked half orc.

    Shows no stats and only

    "You have a 5% chance when attacking a foe to apply Dragonborn Fury to yourself for 6 seconds, increasing your Power and Crit by 3%."

    Is that 3% OF your crit, or crit by 3%... I wonder... Seems decent if its 5% chance to increase crit by base 3% for 6 seconds. With GPF this could be up quite a bit....

    Currently on sale for $75. The bag doesn't specify if it's a one-time claim or if you can get it on each character on your account. If it's claimable by all characters on an account I might be tempted to buy this pack. Otherwise not having a companion or a mount makes it a hard sell to me.

    the Dragonborn Pack is too expensive for the features inside.
    All those things can be grinded ... and with the pack you dont even get some account wide mount or companion like feywild pack :/ (which cost 50 eur)...

    Was just going to post the same thing, pretty weak for the price as most are just a single time claim, and the single claim glyphs are even only temporary. Would at least have expected a companion and/or mount for that price, maybe it gets upgraded like the original packs were...
