D&D 5E Fizban's Treasury: The Dragon Book Now Has A Description... And A Feat

Courtesy of Amazon, we now have a description for Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, the October D&D hardcover. The book introduces gem dragons, dragon-themed player options, and plenty of draconic lore! This joins September's The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, and November's Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos.

At D&D Live this weekend, WotC will be revealing a lot more about all three books. It will be interesting to see if the Dragonlance-themed title means the book has Dragonlance content (I'm hoping for dragonlances and draconians, at least), and whether it settles that old argument of whether Paladine and Takhisis are actually Bahamut and Tiamat, or merely inspired by them.

(Warning: Dragonlance Chronicles spoilers in the cover text, if you haven't read those novels yet!)

Discover everything there is to know about dragons—the most iconic of D&D monsters—in this quintessential reference guide.

Meet Fizban the Fabulous: doddering archmage, unlikely war hero, divine avatar of a dragon-god—and your guide to the mysteries of dragonkind.

What is the difference between a red dragon and a gold dragon? What is dragonsight? How does a dragon’s magic impact the world around them? This comprehensive guide provides Dungeon Masters with a rich hoard of tools and information for designing dragon-themed encounters, adventures, and campaigns. Dragonslayers and dragon scholars alike will also appreciate its insight into harnessing the power of dragon magic and options for players to create unique, memorable draconic characters.

• Introduces gem dragons to fifth edition!
• Provides Dungeon Masters with tools to craft adventures inspired by dragons, including dragon lair maps and detailed information about 20 different types of dragons
• Adds player character options, including dragon-themed subclasses for monks and rangers, unique draconic ancestries for dragonborn, additional spell options, and a feat
• Presents a complete dragon bestiary and introduces a variety of dragons and dragon-related creatures—including aspects of the dragon gods, dragon minions, and more
• Reveals the story of the First World and the role the dragon gods Bahamut and Tiamat played in its creation and destruction

D&D 5E - The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

As revealed by Nerd Immersion by deciphering computer code from D&D Beyond! Which makes my guess earlier this year spot on! UPDATE -- the book now has a description! https://www.enworld.org/threads/fizbans-treasury-the-dragon-book-now-has-a-description.681399/...

I actually hope we get updated stat blocks of the MM dragons (despite the fact that I know they will have less HP) if they take the opportunity to make them more thematic.

I hope WotC starts to take some cues from some of the good DMsGuild work out there and start giving monsters interesting things to do in combat, especially with bonus actions and reactions.

Well, I tend to doubt they will redo the standard age lwvels: and I'd prefer more new stat blocks, at any rate.

 

[Henadic Theologian]

Yes, but the assumption is that at least 10 of those will be ones from the MM.

And 5 will be Gem Dragons, 1 Dragon Turtle, and 1 might be a Gleamstone or Moon Dragon. 1 might be a Prismatic Dragon.

That is what we assume, but we don't really know the break down

And 5 will be Gem Dragons, 1 Dragon Turtle, and 1 might be a Gleamstone or Moon Dragon. 1 might be a Prismatic Dragon.

Outside the 15 main dragon types and the dragon turtle, the remaining 4 types are going to be hard to pin down until release, unless they specifically give us info on them.

 

[Parmandur]

That is what we assume, but we don't really know the break down

I feel pretty confident about the Gem Dragons getting the full treatment, and Dragon Turtles make a good bit of sense, to explain what their deal is: past that is speculation, especially since they are willingness introduce new concepts here in addition to deep cuts like Dracohydras.

I do too, I am just pointing out that we don't know until we know.

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[Rabulias]

Has Faerun's Song Dragon been converted to 5e yet? If not, that's one that might show up.

I would love it if Song Dragons show up.
