Hey, nice work on the book, Ari :)

Level 5, and it has a fair amount of powers for a low level dragon, plus it still restrains (with an aftereffect slow), so that could be a problem, especially for primarily melee groups.

Their breath weapon restrains (there's a condition you don't see too often) but then they have a savage mauling attack that pushes back targets despite being restrained and knocks them over, and an aura that freezes the area around them. There is, but the youngest one is level 11.

No flak from me, I loved the gem dragons, played one in a Council of Wyrms game way back when. I think it might be cool to tie them into the 4e backstory of psionics and make them dragons who were created to beat the Far Realm.

Brass (Artillery): Placid, curious, talkative, with a strong mercenary streak. Bronze (Brute): Duty-bound and honorable, see the world in black and white. Cobalt (Controller): Grim, sullen, have a "mine!" attitude Mercury (Lurker): Erratic, craves variety Mithral (Skirmisher): Aloof, stay in the...

I think you'll like the advice about making them antagonists, but not necessarily about making them good AND antagonists. I was surprised that they decided to put in so many different dragon types, and not so many related monsters- I thought they would follow suit from Draconomicon 1 and...

Nope, and most of them explode :) Wyrmling versions of the metallics (including a piece of art that is super cute) Hollow dragons, basically the metallic version of dracolichs without the undead flavor Couatls Drakes: Liondrake, Vulture Drakes Drakkensteed, elongated dragons designed for...

They still do indeed. There's a level 2 Soldier and a Level 8 Minion Soldier version, both make a reflex attack against the attacker in melee. If it hits, the weapon is stuck, needs a standard action to remove. Yep, though it's definitely at the cost of other monsters. Not nearly the same...

Adding shapechanging is one easy one, but I also like the gold dragon's luck field (which is a cool callback), bronze dragons surrounding themselves with water (that gives vulnerable to lightning as well as forcing attackers to swim) and the mithral dragon's powers to go into extraplanar stasis...

Fire away! I'm about to head home for the night and when I come back I'll answer questions about the book. Andraemos, a brass dragon, who rules a desert thanks to some bandits known as the Sand Knives. Bahamut, the big bad platinum himself, both as The Old Man with the Canaries and the level...

I should have gotten a better read-through done tonight and then I can start a new thread here on ENWorld tomorrow, if that works!

I got a copy of Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons too, mwahahaha!

Nah, he's accusing ME of trolling... the internet, I guess?... just as he did in the comments of my site, without really being familiar with any of the context whatsoever. (Also, whomever sent the link to Morrus to post put a different spin on it than I did.) The simple chain of events was: 1...

That form made it way easy! Nicely done.

Looking forward to seeing it and adding it to our 4e Accessories page: Critical Hits » Guide to 4e Accessories (and watching this thread closely for others, of course)

The biggest issue is that you're not competing against Character Builder or the books, you're competing against iplay4e.com, which includes everything with my character by uploading a single file and does most of what I'd want an iPhone app with 4e to do already. Inputting my character by hand...

The biggest problem I had with the skill challenges was that they most (if not all?) took the form of: "Round 1: Everyone rolls this skill, if majority pass, get a success, Round 2: Everyone roll this other skill..." thus completely taking the decision making and roleplaying out of it. I...

The artist (headinjurytheater.com) displayed a link somewhere showing it off, pretty awesome.

Almost my entire gaming group is in that group, so I'm pretty lucky :) My friend Danny died in every single adventure of our first Dark Sun campaign (2e), and it was decently long running. He's jazzed about playing a Thri-Kreen monk in 4e, despite the warning that he may not be playing it for...

New site is up, but I think it's slogging because everyone is hitting it. It is a total redesign with some new stuff. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page
