Well, these are aspects of Tiamat and Bahamut, not proper avatars. In 4e, the aspects were weaker than the avatars, so I guess I was expecting something like this.

No, it looks 99% great. We're just picking at the 1%.

Pretty much. I'll whine about Sardior getting the shaft again and other nit-picky details, but otherwise I'm really looking forward to getting this in my hands.

I see Aasterinian in a sidebar. I wonder if any other dragon god is mentioned? What about Io?

Weird thing Dragon Blessed are Clerics who worship a Dragon as a God and get Divine magic spells from the Dragon. WTF. It's the odd situation of the Kraken Priest all over again (which gets what appears to be divine magic from a big monster instead of a God)

I'll complain about how they largely butcher the lore yet again, Saridor is all of a sudden dead? WTF? none of this makes sense with preexisting lore.

He's not dead. Granted, he's apparently not in the best of shape though...

Sardior

Sardior (pronounced: /ˈsɑːrdiɔːr/ SAR-dee-or[1]) was the dragon god of night, psionics, and secrets, and he was also the Master of gem dragons.[1] Sardior was said to be a unique ruby dragon. In his natural form, he had a long and sinewy body covered with deep ruby red scales. At a distance, he...

All that sounded past tense

Would the old or new Tiamat statblock win in combat?
