D&D 5E Fizban's Treasury: The Dragon Book Now Has A Description... And A Feat

Courtesy of Amazon, we now have a description for Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, the October D&D hardcover. The book introduces gem dragons, dragon-themed player options, and plenty of draconic lore! This joins September's The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, and November's Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos.

At D&D Live this weekend, WotC will be revealing a lot more about all three books. It will be interesting to see if the Dragonlance-themed title means the book has Dragonlance content (I'm hoping for dragonlances and draconians, at least), and whether it settles that old argument of whether Paladine and Takhisis are actually Bahamut and Tiamat, or merely inspired by them.

(Warning: Dragonlance Chronicles spoilers in the cover text, if you haven't read those novels yet!)

Discover everything there is to know about dragons—the most iconic of D&D monsters—in this quintessential reference guide.

Meet Fizban the Fabulous: doddering archmage, unlikely war hero, divine avatar of a dragon-god—and your guide to the mysteries of dragonkind.

What is the difference between a red dragon and a gold dragon? What is dragonsight? How does a dragon’s magic impact the world around them? This comprehensive guide provides Dungeon Masters with a rich hoard of tools and information for designing dragon-themed encounters, adventures, and campaigns. Dragonslayers and dragon scholars alike will also appreciate its insight into harnessing the power of dragon magic and options for players to create unique, memorable draconic characters.

• Introduces gem dragons to fifth edition!
• Provides Dungeon Masters with tools to craft adventures inspired by dragons, including dragon lair maps and detailed information about 20 different types of dragons
• Adds player character options, including dragon-themed subclasses for monks and rangers, unique draconic ancestries for dragonborn, additional spell options, and a feat
• Presents a complete dragon bestiary and introduces a variety of dragons and dragon-related creatures—including aspects of the dragon gods, dragon minions, and more
• Reveals the story of the First World and the role the dragon gods Bahamut and Tiamat played in its creation and destruction

D&D 5E - The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

As revealed by Nerd Immersion by deciphering computer code from D&D Beyond! Which makes my guess earlier this year spot on! UPDATE -- the book now has a description! https://www.enworld.org/threads/fizbans-treasury-the-dragon-book-now-has-a-description.681399/...

Interdicted? I wouldn't want to try interdicting a gem dragon.

I hope the book provides some information on integrating these new options into other settings such as Eberron.

And a name! Currently at under 4000 at Amazin

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

What's the ''First World'' referred here?

 

[Morrus]

What's the ''First World'' referred here?

The thing it reveals, presumably.

 

[MarkB]

What's the ''First World'' referred here?

Probably some forgotten age when dragons were the dominant species.

"Augh, my treasure hoard is getting so big, it's starting to spill out of my lair."

"Wow, talk about first world problems."

 

[Thunder Brother]

Looks promising. I haven't been interested in a WotC release since the Theros book, so I hope this is nice and dense. Has the page count been leaked as well?

I have to say though, the obligatory character options feel just as tacked on as they did with the Ravenloft book.

 

[vecna00]

I was wondering about that "First World." Could it be Io's Blood Isles in all of its glory?

Or is it pointing to the Nentir Vale? I'm not very familiar with that one.

 

[Raunalyn]

I am wondering if this "First World" is a means of looping all of the D&D game worlds into a common origin. Would certainly explain Bahamut/Paladine and Tiamat/Takhisis and the fact that all of the major D&D worlds have most of the same types of dragons.

I've been primarily getting WotC books on D&DBeyond lately, but I think I will have to get this in both digital and hard copies.
