But that is my point. In most world dragons are rare, dwarves being mages varies but mostly their not the sharpest tools in the shed so people don't play them as such and well half-giants aren't usually a character class. But then stats in HZ don't figure in as much as other games either.

My point is HZ is unique in so many aspects that using a generaly accepted name such as mithiril was a booboo. Calling dragons dragons is ok, because they match the generally accepted attributes and powers. As is the same with the other races. Even adamantium is acceptable since its generally held as a humanoid made alloy.
