[QUOTE="LordArchaon, post: 4098117, member: 60929"] I know most of you could have already seen this, but since I didn't see this mentioned by anyone, not even the unofficial 4e info page, take a look at the official Wizards' Products page for [URL=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/217887200]Draconomicon I: Chromatic Dragons[/URL]... We'll have THREE new chromatic dragons and some more crunch too it seems. And given the size of the book, good fluff seems inevitable. [CENTER][IMG]http://www.wizards.com/global/images/products_dndacc_217887200_lgpic.jpg[/IMG] [I]The dragon depicted on the book cover could be a white but maybe also a new dragon: it seems tied to the sea environment.[/I][/CENTER] I know that many of you hate the "splatbook" politics of Wizards, but I think that they're changing the quality and contents of their books for the better. Adding three brand new dragons per Draconomicon, along with additional options, would be a good deal IMO. What I'd also like would be a greater differentiation of the dragon types by POWER SOURCE or maybe by linking to PLANES. For example I'd see Metallics more tied to Feywild and Arcane power, while Chromatics more to Natural (material plane) and Martial power. Or maybe Metallics to the Astral, with Divine power, and Chromatics to the Elemental Chaos, with Arcane. Then they could easily put the Gem dragons in the mix, with their Psionic power, tying them to Feywild (psionics are being developed with a strong focus on what was the enchantment school, so it becomes more fey-flavored IMO) or maybe Astral or Natural again. Speaking about the contents of the book, I would like it to give alternative powers for dragons (maybe they could implement different power sources in this way), much in the way 3.5 Dragon Magic gave "alternative special abilities", and maybe also some templates or special dragon-designed feats that may constitute an exception to the general rule of "monsters don't get feats".
