D&D 5E Fizban's Treasury Dragons Ranked By Challenge Rating

WotC has been sending out previews of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, due out next month, to folks on Twitter. Amongst those are art pieces and other items.

By Challenge Rating the dragons in the book are:

• Ancient crystal (19)
• Ancient topaz (20)
• Ancient emerald (21)
• Ancient moonstone (21)
• Ancient sapphire (22)
• Elder brain dragon (22)
• Ancient amethyst (23)
• Ancient dragon turtle (24)
• Gem greatwyrm (26)
• Chromatic greatwyrm (27)
• Metallic greatwyrm (28)
• Apects of Bahamut and Tiamat (30)

Interestingly, it appears that the great wyrm category is divided into three -- gem, chromatic, metallic -- rather than by each dragon type.

There's also an alphabetical list of all 20 dragon types in the book:

• Amethyst
• Black
• Blue
• Brass
• Bronze
• Copper
• Crystal
• Deep
• Dragon turtle
• Emerald
• Faerie
• Gold
• Green
• Moonstone
• Red

Faerie dragon coverage was something completely unexpected, and I'm definitely intrigued. It's something I really hadn't much thought of before!

I do hope that steel dragons get some sort of coverage, perhaps using silver dragons as a template for stats, like was done in Dungeon of the Mad Mage...

Make some sense with the FeyWild adventure coming out this month.

I am happy to see the Aspects of Bahamut and Tiamat are CR 30. I am hoping they will be mythic as well. I am also interested in what they mean by "Aspect." I wonder if that ties into the new lore of the greatwyrms (which I could like). It also seems to be a change from when they said the Tiamat in RoT was the full fledged goddess. I cautiously hopeful this is a bump up in power that is sorely needed IMO.

However, I am disappointed to see that metallic greatwyrms are more powerful than chromatic greatwyrms. I thought we were done with that old paradigm.

I think I saw it confirmed somewhere that Draconians are also getting statted up in this book. Not as playable options, just for monsters.

That yin and yang special cover is outstanding.

Yeah, I really want that.

I'm really looking forward to the tables here...James Wyatt is the king of random tables.

Got high hopes for this one.

That Red Greatwyrm's appearance reminds me of the volcanic catastrophic dragon from 4E. I wonder if Greatwyrms are in some way a new take on catastrophics.
