[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2191788, member: 4134"] I have to second the Draconomicon. That's one kick-ass book! About items: Their staves and wands might be larger than normal, but often they'd just have stuff made by humanoids, so they are normal-sized. And, as far as I know, rings will resize to fit the wearer. They usually don't move their stuff about, since they leave it in their lair. If they move, they probably use everything you can imagine, and then some. It depends on the dragon, I think. Some use magic, some magic items (bags of holding, and the like), others move it in large bags, or carriages, or they use their minions/slaves. Dragons don't have chairs, they have what I call the Dragon Couch. This consists of a gigantic mound of coins, gems, and other valuables, which they just lie on. Dragons usually just take over a lair, but some have something constructed (like the silver or gold dragon in draconomicon that has a huge mansion with a sizable library in it). Dragon Diet: They have a very efficient digestive system which is basically an elemental blast furnace. They could literally live on rocks. Dragons need surprisingly little, but unfortunately, the difference between what they must eat and what they can eat is enormous. They do need greater amounts of food when their growth spurts set in. They can also get by a very long time on what they eat, so they could gorge themselves and then feast for long times. Dragons do need a mate to procreate. They mate and then the female lays eggs. They take care of the eggs together, afaik. Later, when they reach a certain age, they have to go out and make their own life. Dragons are too territorial to have family bounds. I don't know about albino dragons. In D&D, more or less everything is possible. Again, If you really want to know all about dragons, get the Draconomicon. It's easily the most classy D&D book I have seen. Beside explaining their pysiology, psychology, outlook, life cicle, and so on, it has DM tactics how to use a dragon, new spells and feats, and PrC's for Dragons (all 12-level). It also has a chapter for characters, with spells/feats/PrC's and advice, so you know how you fight dragons, how you serve dragons, and how you adventure alongside them (as familiars or mounts, or even PC's). And of course, new monsters, both true dragons and lesser dragons (and some dragon-related gritters), new templates (dracolich, vampiric dragon, zombie dragon, dragon skeleton), and one sample dragon of each of the 5 metallic and 5 chromatic variants, in each age category. Also, it has a sample hoard for a dragon from each CR between 2-or-so untill 27. And a listing of all dragons that have been released so far (at the time when the book was released), including the stats for half-dragons of these forms. [/QUOTE]
