[QUOTE="johnsemlak, post: 1658897, member: 7233"] Disclaimer--I haven't used any material so far. Well, it's short, only 66 pages, so it is a bit less than I expected (still OK at $5, but realistically, in the PDF market that's an average price-per-page value, if that). Among other DRM restrictions, the document has a cut-and-paste limit of 10 times per 10 days. Its format is also very simple. The book is basically a compendium of varient dragons and dragonlike creatures--a very focused monster manual of sorts. There are no chapters on dragon culture, physiology, role-playing dragons, prestige classes, etc. The PDF has no bookmarks, but there is a useful alphabetical listing of the creatures at the beginning. The monster entries take up about two pages each, and each one has an illustration (all B&W). A few examples: [list][*]Cavern Dragon: a varient dragon that permanently lives underground and is blind [*]Cthonion Dragon: A horrible creature created from dragons by Mind Flayers [*]Dire Dragon: a primative dragon reduced to basically a large lizard [*]Dragonshark [*]Dragoth: a race of humanoid dragons [*]Entropic Dragon: a dragon whose breath weapon ages the victim [*]Molten Dragons: dragons who live in molden lava in volcanoes [*]Tome Lizard: a small magical lizard, suitable for a wizard's familiar. [*]Vermin Dragon: a hybrid of blue dragons and various arachnids [*]Wooly Dragon: a White Dragon varient living in even more extreme cold climes. [/list] There are also several varients of drakes. The book is 3.0 compatible. It could take a bit of work to convert if you're really precise about that sort of thing. If what you are looking for is a compendium of varient dragons, this is a useful book. Other Dragon books (there aren't that many really: the Slayer's Guide to Dragons, Draconomicon, and Mongoose's later Dragons; any others?) cover the topic much more broadly. [/QUOTE]
