Start by eliminating D&D's traditional dragons. Then add dragons back to the game.

[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9064856, member: 6801845"] While I rarely use dragons in my game, I guess I'm not sure I see why they need to be redone. How do these dragons vary from traditional D&D dragons? What makes them dragons? Why replace and just just add? Part of the reason I rarely use dragons is because my campaigns tend to be more urban and the bad guys are generally one of the "civilized" races but also because when I run them they are extremely intelligent and dangerous. About the only change I've made is that adult and older dragons they can polymorph into any humanoid they want. Since they can be centuries old they sometimes have plots that span decades, have infiltrated society as everything from being rulers of a kingdom to being a beggar on the street and everything in-between. There's a secret war for control of society with dragons on both sides working behind the scenes, influencing kingdoms in ways small and large. Or at least that's my head-canon, it's only been revealed a few times. But I'll go back to my question - if I were to buy the book what do I get out of it? If these new dragons are so varied and different, why get rid of existing dragons? [/QUOTE]
