Breath Weapon lets you blast a 30-ft-long, 5-ft-wide line, proficiency bonus times per long rest.

These are the five dragons and elements you would expect. Chromatic Ancestry has you choose your draconic type, which decides what you get for your other features.At this point the dividing line between Humanoid and whatever else is pretty dubious, but okay, sure.No changes in their story, so we can get right to the mechanics. Oh good Lord, it was April? What even is time. We did see all of this in a recent-ish UA, of course. Since I’ve often heard the PH dragonborn criticized for being underpowered, I think there are good reasons to make them an early revision. (There is more player-facing content than just this chapter, but it’s still modest.)įirst up, you can use the PH dragonborn (as the text spells out), but here we see what a rebuild into the new race dynamics looks like. If you’re coming to this book expecting to find a dragon-related option for every character class, this book isn’t that. It’s mind-boggling to think how much less player-facing content this book offers (while still feeling sufficient for 5e) than the 3.x or 4e Draconomicons. We get three new races, two new subclasses, and three new feats. Mostly they’ve just taught me how things should look to such a degree that it looks wrong. It’s a strange style change seven years into an edition (and contrasting the last 47 years of D&D’s style), but… okay. There’s also a sidebar about the fact that creature types are now capitalized. The 5e design team has been clear about their interest in gem dragons, going back to the sapphire dragon stats included in the Laeral Silverhand’s Explorer’s Kit.

If you’re one of the many, many people to come to D&D without playing 2e, well, gem dragons have been part of D&D for a long time now, but they didn’t get a lot of priority in 3.x or 4e. This idea is going to get a lot more airtime later in the book, but the core idea is that what happens with or relating to dragons echoes across the Material worlds. Possibly, as in Ashardalon’s case, even run afoul of one another and be destroyed. I can’t fathom why the entry for FR doesn’t even touch on Tyranny of Dragons.įinally, dragonsight: an idea that some dragons connect with their selves on other Material worlds – that there’s an Ashardalon echo on many worlds, and they can interact.

It’s a lot to get into here, but it shows a motivation other than because she’s Eeevil for her clashes with Bahamut and the other gods, while at the same time Bahamut isn’t really trying to fight her.įour settings get pride of place for a discussion of how Bahamut, Tiamat, and the Elegy for the First World: Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk (Io gets name-checked here), Dragonlance (canon change: Paladine really is Bahamut, Takhisis really is Tiamat, even and especially where this creates baffling contradictions), and Eberron (where Siberys, Eberron, and Khyber take some explaining). I also like the angle this takes on Tiamat and her relationship to Bahamut. Sardior’s shattering may have been the same moment as the shattering of the First World. Sardior is dead and shattered, but their (the text is phrased to avoid using any pronoun for Sardior) shards became gem dragons, and the gem dragons now work to reconstitute Sardior. I’ll probably get into this as we go, but Sardior is one of my favorite things in all of the lore here. We’ve seen references to the First World going back to Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, but this expands on that lore with Bahamut, Takhisis, and their firstborn offspring Sardior the Ruby Dragon. It’s a high-level overview of multiversal draconic mythology: D&D has decided that if they’re going to make dragons half of the title, they can be the unifying through-line of all these Material Plane worlds. The introductory chapter is short but electrifying. Hot damn that cover art, the limited cover especially. Which is to say, I received a review copy of Fizban’s, I’m reviewing it here, and I can’t even pretend that I’ll get through this in one article. He isn’t working alone – there’s a whole cabal of wizards backing him up, along with some top-tier mercenaries they hired for the job. Someone (James Wyatt) has dragons on his mind, and we need to get to the bottom of this. So there I was, raiding a wizard’s library as one does, and I found this book labeled For Review.
