Message: <blockquote data-quote="Graf" data-source="post: 4100430" data-attributes="member: 3087">It's possible the decision about which dragons to include was made after alignment.If you look at it from a pre-4e viewpoint the good dragons are kind of like stats for Angels... you want them for completeness, but never normally use them. Who's fought a gold dragon? Hands?Now an evil dragon?I'd expect the ratio is 10 to 1. I've never fought a metallic. I've never heard of anyone fighting one in a game. I don't think I've ever had one in my games, period....Are there any metallics in any adventures (that show up as foes anyway...)(I'm sure I'll get five posts recounting battles-with-metallics now but..)So when they were planning out the MM it was probably cut for as a vanity project. Nice to have, but not actually useful for most people.The dragons-are-no-longer-aligned change removes that as reason, but they probably couldn't get the 20 pages back. If you dropped Chromatics people would have a lot of trouble converting existing adventures.But nobody's going to be saying I can't convert my favorite adventure now!(Which they would if you cut any of the chromatics I think).</blockquote>
