INFERNO, Epic Dragon of Faerun

[Krishnath]

On the topic of the draconomicon, I have a hunch that WotC will make one for 3E. It is called Dungeons & Dragons after all... And they have made several books about dungeons allready (Return to the temple of elemental evil, book of challenges, stronghold builders guidebook to name a few.) Of course, they haven't said anything about making one, but on the other hand, you have different fingers...ehr... I mean, they have not said they're not doing one.

But alas, one can hope. (and hope that they make it non-realms specific this time... )

 

[Cassiopea]

Hope is all we have left ;-)

 

[Krishnath]

Perhaps... but then again anything can happen, and it usually will, sooner or later. Remember, there's more that three times as many people playing D&D now than during it's last golden age...

Would anybody like to 3.5 update this mega-monster

They are putting out a new Draconomicon, it's realllllllllly expensive as well which puts me off. :/

 

[Krishnath]

Shylo: Ask Cassiopeia, it's her dragon.

Kitsune: So what if it is expensive, so was the FRCS, and it was a big seller. I for one have every intent to buy the 3E Draconomicon

"Draconomicon: The Book of Dragons - November - 288 pgs * HC * 39.95 * 176680000 - Written by Andy Collins, James Wyatt, Skip Williams -- An art-filled sourcebook for all things draconic in the D&D world. This title takes a comprehensive look at the dragons of the D&D world from a variety of perspectives. It includes information on playing dragons and dragon-like creatures, how to run a dragon in a fight, and how to both fight dragons and work with them as allies. There are statistics on dragons of every type and at every age category, in addition to examples of lairs, hoards, and dragon minions. There are new rules, feats, spells, prestige classes, magic items, and other materials associated specifically with interaction with dragons. The book itself will be designed in a prestige format, with heavy use of art throughout and constructed of premium materials. This book is intended to provide the basis for every dragon played in D&D from this point forward, making it an essential tool for both DM and player."

39.99 is a wheeee bit much for me to spend. But still, I'd sell my left toe to get it too, so we will see when push comes to shove. (I always have a hard time picking feats for dragons, not enough, Savage Species helped a little.)

 

[Krishnath]

Only your left toe?

Also, I am pretty confident that the book will include the stats for at least five other dragon species...

 

[Kitsunekaboom]

I'm hoping there are a few dragon specific templates.

 

[Krishnath]

That would be nice, like a wingless template, or a snakelike template....
