D&D General Companion Thread to D&D Survivor: Dragons, Metallic

[Corinnguard]

Among the Chromatic Dragons, I consider the Blue Dragons to be a favorite thanks to this fella: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/85/41/d7/8541d747af8320e237a4ec2efe063bf6.jpg

Silver Dragons are also the most likely to take humanoid form and hang out with people. Including the most likely to fall in love with mortals.

They can literally spend more time in humanoid form than dragon form throughout their lives!

Steel dragons and Song Dragons were also known to do this.

does anyone know why silver dragons are so popular?

• They are most likely to interact with players. Yes all dragons will interact with players but Silver more so then others.
• Also, multiple dragons do this but you are still more likely to find a Silver Dragon in a humanoid form. In the case of steel dragons, don't they not realize they are dragons in their humanoid form?
• Though most dragons can be found outside of their traditional environments the Silver Dragon is more so going to be found outside it's normal cold environment
• The only metallic dragon with a more interesting personality than a Silver Dragon is probably a Brass Dragon
• From a DM POV I find Silver Dragons to be just more useful in game play then other metallic dragons. However this is very subjective

They are aware that they are dragons in their humanoid form. They're just that good at hiding their true nature from non-dragons.

I don't know which is gonna annoy me more, if someone comes along and finishes off the Mithral Dragon before I get a chance to after I did the majority of the work to bring it down to 1, or if enough people up vote it before I get a chance to finish him with one more vote.

Edit: @toucanbuzz is my new sworn enemy

What's your beef with the Mithral dragon?

Eh. . . aesthetics? I don't really have a reason not to like the idea of a mithril dragon except I just don't. Mithral is meant to be rare and special and so are dragons (even in Krynn they are treated this way) so a mithral dragon seems like gilding the lily.

Isn't a cobalt dragon just a blue dragon in disguise...?

I'd argue they are more akin to blue scaly Amur (Siberian) Tigers then anything. They are hefty looking though.

What made you go with an Amur tiger as opposed just a tiger or any other big cat for your analogy?
