[QUOTE="LordArchaon, post: 4100077, member: 60929"] Now your point is more than clear, and I think I completely agree. I also think that, at least partially, 4e will get closer to this philosophy. Me too I, for example, always felt that the Blue was just wrong. I can speak since 3rd edition only, I had 1st edition Basic, but I don't remember any difference between chromatic dragons other than color and breath weapon, I mean, I think I can recall they looked pretty similar. However about the Blue, I'd always imagined it as a SLIM dragon, with slick scales and an air-dominance role. Seeing it as a burrower desert dweller with the most bulky head and body always was a little strange to me. The Black, I se no problem with it. Always pictured it as the bog dweller and both darkness and acid are well connected with bogs. However yes, I'd split the Blue dragon as they split the elves.[INDENT] Take the desert-ventriloquism-mirage part and make a new brown dragon with a very strong cobra-resemblance and a really evil lurker nature. A dragon who relies on illusions to lure preys in his lair and then kill them with a dreadful breath weapon, maybe inflicting psychic damage by the means of a terrible narcotic venom or sound.[/INDENT][INDENT] Then take the lightning-blue-badass part and make a dragon that inhabits the highest peaks or maybe simply passes most of his time in the high sky, bringng thunderstorms, spitting lightnings and maybe sometimes allowing epic heroes to ride him.[/INDENT] However... If the creator of the Shadowcaster is involved in the Draconomicon, I will definitely buy the Draconomicon! :) [/QUOTE]
