[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 8424703, member: 7030526"] One thing that would have been cool for Moonstone Dragons would have been a variant of the Change Shape ability, but for Fey instead of humanoids and Beasts. Surely you can admit Bahumut's none damage breath weapon is cool, a healing/raise dead breath is really neat, but I would add the optional spellcasting trait from the MM to both Aspects and Great Wyrms. To be fair an Aspect of Tiamat isn't actually the main Tiamat,that is the nearly unkillable version, this is more like a an Avatar. My personal suggestion to use the Spellcasting trait from the MM to give Tiamat and Bahumut at will Wish spell. I agree with you on Elder Brain Dragons, they are the Mindflayer pinnacle that Mindflayers needed. My big issue with changing the Draconic Pantheon into Great Wyrms, beyond not liking poorly explained retcons, is that folks that want to play a Cleric of their favorite Dragon God that isn't Bahumut or Tiamat get screwed, maybe. The Dragon Blessed, which are basically Dragon worshipping clerics which don't have Dragon themed abilities beyond speaking Draconic and gaining their magic from Dragons instead of Gods btw. Like Dragon Blessed really should have had a better explanation as to how Dragons can now grant Divine magic spells. I just find it's some cool ideas, but really poor integration with older lore makes it unusable, worse in some ways then 4e even. [/QUOTE]
