D&D 5E Fizban Is In The Wild -- With the Table of Contents!

Some people have received their copies of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and have posted photos (including the table of contents!) online!

And dragoos, dragees, dragores, dragives, dragixes, dragevens, dragates, dragines and dragenes.

I was broadly referring to differences in abilities.

More robot shenanigans, less spooky undead stuff.

Except Tiamat has a canon place in Eberron, as the Ovelord Daughter of Khyber.

Easily translated as an Avatar of Khyber, who is actually Cosmic Tiamat.

My heart breaks that we didn't get an official entry for a 5E version of the dragonne. I had been really banking on that. Oh well...

Well, take heart, my friend, for we do: the "Liondrake" in the Bestiary is the Draggone.

 

[Parmandur]

Yeah, I didn't mention Bahamut because his place in the cosmology is a bit more open (because the place of gods is a bit more open). But Tiamat is the main reason Dragons don't rule the world. They have to keep their power and greed in check to not give power and be influenced by Tiamat

Seems fairly straightforward to interpret these with a Translatio Draconis to match this new Multiversal approach to Dragons.

From the video that showed a bit of the book. Sardior was shattered or something.

Can you share the link of that video?

Can you share the link of that video?

It's in post #11 of this thread. My phone is having trouble copying it, or I would add the link here...

It's in the poem at the start of the book - when the First World was attacked, Bahamut was defeated and Tiamat imprisoned by the other gods and their forces. Sardior hides in the center of creation, and when the First World is shattered, he apparently is shattered with it, as his consciousness is "scattered in minuscule fragments". So he's alive, but whether that shattering means he's so scattered his consciousness is effectively broken or whether those scattered bits are connected and he's still effectively a complete being isn't said. I'm assuming this is the basis of draconic echoes appearing in different worlds as they mentioned earlier.

In that same video, he pages through the book and you can just catch part of the Chromatic Great Wyrm stat block as he pages through the bestiary. It has Mythic actions (no great surprise there), and it's a general stat block for all chromatic types, just with differing immunities per type (and presumably breath weapons, but we don't see that part). As a side note, I love that they are embracing the Mythic actions concept, and I can't wait to see how they use it for other important and powerful creatures (Mythic action tarrasque, anyone?) as they go through the upcoming monster stat revisions.

The 5.5e MM is going to need another 100 pages added to it isn't, especially if they design it along simular, buy bigger lines as MP:MotM,but with Mythic Monsters?

I had always assumed that the list of high CR dragons we had seen a few weeks ago was incomplete.

Edit, now that I've seen one of the quick previews, he flips past the Adult Deep Dragon, and it's only CR 11. So presumably the Ancient category is below 19. And presumably the same with moonstone dragons. That's an unexpected twist.

You see the Ancient Deep Dragon listed in CR picture as CR 18 (I assume that Deep Dragons are considered the weakest of Dragons because of their allergy to sunlight, and maybe radiant damage too, less sure if they will have radiant vulnerability, but at least the sunlight allergy thing is traditional for Deep Dragons.)

Interesting. Is there a preview of the poem out there? I've watched the video, but the guy doesn't talk about the poem that much.
