[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8424775, member: 83242"] Yes, that would have been a good idea. If I ever stat up moon dragons I will do something like that. Yes it is. But there was so much room to do more. If they had used some of the lessons they learned from MToF, Theros, and other books since the MM, they could have made much more interesting monsters IMO. I am tempted to do yet another version of Tiamat! I know that, but IMO the went backward instead for forward from the Rise of Tiamat version. There is a whole host of traits they should have to make them more interesting IMO. They just don't. I do wish spellcasting was one of them. Not really interested in at will Wish though. That is just a cop-out IMO. (y) That has no effect IMO game or RAW. Cleric don't get their magic granted by gods in 5e, IIRC. As far as I am concerned a cleric can worship a dragon god that is really a Great Wyrm and casts any cleric spell. I am pretty sure that is RAW as well. In fact, I believe the author even talked about that in one of the interviews posted in this thread. I loved 4e's lore, so maybe that is what I am really enjoying this (from what I have seen). If I want a continuation of 1e, or 2e, or 3e lore - I just use that lore. This book doesn't make any of it more less usable to me, it is just more options. That is why I like that is different. I don't need the old lore again, I've already got that. I do have my quirks of course. For instance, I hate the Asmo is treated like god/lesser god in more recent lore, yet Demo is still a CR 26 chump. Demo was, from the beginning, the most powerful fiend and that is the way it should stay! [/QUOTE]
