D&D 5E Fizban Is In The Wild -- With the Table of Contents!

Some people have received their copies of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and have posted photos (including the table of contents!) online!

Pretty sure all Clerics get their spells from the true Cosmic Power, the DM.

 

[Yaarel]

You had me up to here.

It's a monopoly run by Ao. In FR they shouldn't get to run their own business.

Even Ao isnt the cosmic forces themselves.

Thus even Ao lacks divinity.

He is the CEO of a large business, who mines and sells divinity.

None of the Forgotten Realms gods are divine.

They are just corporate bureaucrats who try to sell something by branding what the consumers already have.

Nah, this doesn't work for FR. You undermine the whole cosmology.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

It kinda does though...

In FR, a god can be killed, impeached from office or demoted to more or less a powerful NPC, but the Domain they govern is never destroyed.

Just like when someone lose their job or gets moved to another department. The job itself is still there, up for the taking, is someone else fits the job description and have a good resume.

Just look at Mystril, Mystra, Midnight, Mystra, Mystra, Mystra!

Right. You can replace Bob at the front desk, but the person doing the replacing is Ao.

I dont get to decide that I'm now John at the front desk.

I'm fine with the analogy, right up to the point of 'Oh I dont want to visit this establishment, I'll just make my own.' because in FR, that Domain is provided via Ao, the CEO of the company that has a monopoly on the Domains.

Do they go over/mention Half Dragons in Fizban's?

They better hope not. I'm pretty stingy with magic.

 

[Parmandur]

Do they go over/mention Half Dragons in Fizban's?

Yes, apparently. Specifically, suggestions for Half-Dragons having...non-carnal...origins, like a Black Dragon giving off radiation from their Lair that causes Crocodiles to have Half-Dragon babies.

Sure, but the domain/job doesn't govern or give power. It's the god that governs that does. They are the one that is divine.

 

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

Do they go over/mention Half Dragons in Fizban's?

For a half-page. They also mention how the lair-magic-"radiation" that Dragons give off can create Half-Dragons, too. So a baby [insertcreature] born near a Dragon's lair could be a half-dragon of that type.
