Draconomicon. Worth Buying?

[Tatuage Bleu]

Anybody have it? Worth buying?

any thoughts appreciated

I have it and it is absolutely my FAVORITE 3rd ed book. It has eclipsed the Manual of the Planes. There is so much non-rules detail in there about dragon habits, lifestyles, society. I just love it. There are fully-statted out dragons of every variety and age. Great new feats for dragons (and dragon-slayers). I love the "metabreath" feats. You add some effect to your breath weapon in exchange for more wait time between breaths.

There's also lots of great artwork. Lockwood, baby.

Buy it.

i didn't buy it for the artwork. it is not a comic book.

it is a good purchase. but don't pay full price there are plenty of places on the web and at stores where you can get 10-40% off.

edit: yes, it is one of the better 3.11ed for Workgroups books.

I agree, from what I have seen of the book (got it Tuesday and have been working long days this week) it is a fantastic book. I recommend it!

IMO, the best post-3.5 book, possibly the best WotC book since MotP.

What Psion said. Although I may not use dragons in every game, the combination of great content and high quality puts this in my top three non-core purchases.

Dragons are now super dealdy. Increase the CR by 5 if you deck them out w/ these feats, magic items, and spells.

I love it!!!

Dragons are now super dealdy...

Dragons were always super deadly when played right.

now you have some hints to help you play them right. not all the hints. but at least a few more for DMs lacking that jump in cognizance.

You know diaglo, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were almost starting to like <s>3.5E</s>3.11ed for workgroups.
