I kind of like the idea of a polymorphed metallic dragon actually putting their horde on display to the public as a Museum. The lair actions could actually aid the visitors with Legend Lore spells, locate object spells, conjured refreshments, etc. Then of course, there would have to be security in place to protect the place from would be thieves and dragonslayers (Walls of Force, Animated Statues, Illusions, Charm spells, etc.).

Out of all three books this fall, I've had this release date circled for months! Looking forward for a full hoard of new draconic goodies to use in my future games and campaigns!

*Salivating at the possibility of making a draconic faction that has you acting as a conservation officer to protect dragons from a villainous dragon poacher*

[ninjasasin]

This is easily my most anticipated book to date!!! Thank you soo much for the time everyone took to make it!!

[DuB-All_in]

I would love a dragon with a very well organized and labeled hoard

[ungainlytitan]

This reinforces my notion that smart lawful dragons would invent banking.

[AnathemaMysticalcel]

You need to hurry! I am about to start, "Tyranny of Dragons" and I need this book!

[TheClericCorner]

Is anyone else hearing that dragons to the material world are like angels to the heavens comparison for the first time??

[swguygardner]

That thing about dragons being avatars of the material plane, I always had the same thing in my head about giants.

Pause the video immediately to see Todd getting ready to drop the hottest mixtape of 2021

[HowtoRPG]

This Dragon book sounds like it's on the right track.

[isaacgraff]

I am looking forwards to Fizban's. One thing I want to see so badly though, is a dedicated Mage slayer build. The best I have seen is Abjuration Wizards and a Way of Shadows monk. In a world with THIS much magic, why isn't there a mage slayer?

[emeraldflask]

We could have had a dragon patron for warlocks.

[livale]

Dragons as the angel/fiend equivalent for the mundane world, being metaphorical or literal representation of that world's life essence, is by far my favorite interpretation of dragons and something I'm never not assuming in my worldbuilding tbh. Also gives a good reason for why dragons are their own thing and not monstrosities or beasts.

[gyorgyor]

I'm hoping Deep Dragons get their own polymorphing ability back that they lost in 4e. Also wondering if Deep Dragons will still be Chromatic Dragons in 5e's Fizban's Treasury of Dragons (they were in 4e, but not originally I think).

[jackservans]

In the 1st Edition days, dragons had a major benefit to them as prey for adventurers: Druid character could use them. Now, druids can still gain benefit from using dragon scale mail.

[zeterzero]

"Dragons are to the prime material plain what celestials are to the upper plains and fiends are to the lower."

They are!? ...That's kinda rad.

[tylerdurden]

I wonder if this is a hint that they’re bringing some dragon lance back

[FellVoice]

As good a place to ask as any. When a dragon is polymorphed does it have the HP of the new form or does it retain it's draconic form's HP?

[glidderbeard]

When are we going to get the Dragonborn Hag as a race Jeremy?
