Happy New Year!!! Back and better than ever baby! (Dragon Stat Block Coming Soon Please Don't Be Mean Christmas Is Hard 👼)

Who needs a draconic bloodline sorceror, when you can have a sorcerors bloodline dragon!

[Veelofar]

I’m genuinely more excited about a Monk dragon than I have been for many large personal triumphs in my life

Pointy Hat is doing dragon stuff now.

Are we sure this isn't a mimic taking over our favorite hat

Green dragons aren't the only ones that take care of their kids. Blue dragons are really familial, even though they don't tend to work together (they tend to spread out, deserts are big). Purple dragons especially, they stick together like sovereign glue.

It’s gone from “never doing a video on dragons!!!” To two dragon videos in a row. All Nine Hells and each layer of the Abyss must have frozen over this Christmas!

Fizbans actually did add alot of Lore, Recommended spells, goals, characteristics, and ways to customize Dragons including additional lair actions and Regional effects. I do Recommend Fizbans if your looking to make a series about new Dragons

A power that can be taken away seems more warlock or cleric-ish, Sorcery's flavor is that the power is inherent to the user themselves, either through heritage or through being changed by some by a major magical exposure event. This episode's new dragon seems more like a warlock patron with the way you describe it and it's relation to it's horde members.

I am so glad that we can potentially get a warden dragon for each class. I loved the original dragon video and I hope this does just as well.

Okay, now I'm obsessed with the idea of a nanny dragon running an orphanage. Just imagine: the kids grow up and leave the building they grew up in, but never truly leave their Family. They might take up adventuring, but they always come back as often as they can, bringing back their earnings, their tales and maybe other orphans they met along the way. With time, the orphanage at the end of the small town grows into a town in it's own right as more and more children grow up and start a life near their true Home. When they start a family of their own, any child born is then entrusted to the Archon's Daycare together with the orphans. It could be a great backstory, maybe starting the adventuring job at the request of your Archon Nanny, looking for more people for the Hoard. A rare happy and fluffy reason to go out and risk your life XD

Maybe the Paladin dragon could be Eagle themed?

For Rogue, I’d say either corvid, or snake themed.

What's funny about "exposure to cosmic forces" can be anything from "I got Magic Radiation Poisoning" to "I got struck by lightning and lived."

You could have made the Archon Dragons a Ram. They live in large groups, have horns just like the Archon Dragon and females are even called Nannys

[boomfanfic-a-latta]

The fact that Pointy Hat hates dragons but has decided to do a whole SERIES on dragons feels like either irony, character development, or the greatest practical joke of all time.

But no matter which it is, it’s such a power move. And I will never complain because Warden Dragons are so freaking cool of a concept.

[andreashesseerichsen]

Do a monk next since it is already established that dragons sometimes start monastaties. And it would make sense with the way of the dragon monk.

[spiritvdc]

I'm really hoping to see more of these, they have so much potential ^^ And like any dragon's horde, it'd be a shame to leave the set incomplete xDD

[evanmcclellan]

This totally could be used to create a butler guild where they learn together how to best care for others and those in the guild

[annekeener]

Interesting idea. The horde also helps explain how dragonborns occur. Some dragons like establishing blood ties with their horde, helping to keep them loyal.

Woo! I’m so here for this series!

The very first story I ever remember hearing was one my mom told me about a dragon. It started with the typical village being occasionally lightly singed by the typical dragon, as is typical. So the typical king sent a typical knight to go slay the dragon. But when the knight got there, he found not an entitled, imposing monster, but instead he found the dragon crying. All he ever wanted was to have friends, he was tired of living alone in his cave. But he couldn’t stop breathing fire, it was like a medical thing. So the knight, realizing this was no monster, decided to solve both problems at once. He sat down and offered to be the dragon’s friend.

I’ve loved dragons ever since. To me, personally, they represent friendship and the good that can be found in almost anyone, no matter how misunderstood.

I always appreciate it in stories when dragons are depicted as people. If they’re evil, it’s not by nature, but by choice. Fighting a villainous dragon isn’t a sad story of a wild animal that needs to be put down, it’s a struggle against a monster who chose to do the evil they did. And on the other hand, approaching a dragon could be done to seek, or even offer, help to someone who can chose to do good. And often has the power to do great good, if only they choose to.
