Message: <blockquote data-quote="Derren" data-source="post: 4560513" data-attributes="member: 2518">Thats why I only comment on the edition independant fluff and not on the rules (which I can't judge accurately anyway). I think I clearly mentioned that in my report (never said that this was a review).And I stay by my word. When you have the 3E Draconomicon then you don't need to read the first chapter of the 4E Draconomicon as they are the same with some small exceptions.The only thing which the 4E book does better is how it describes lairs and the mindest of dragons. But that is countered by butchering the fluff of many famous dragons and by trying to explain why powers are encounter powers which is similar to linkink the ability to use the force with medichloreans.Just compare <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/wn/20020327a" target="_blank">Wyrms of the North: Daurgothoth, "The Creeping Doom"</a> with his 4E Drac entry.By the way, I remember that the book talks about true names and that they don't hold any power over dragons, but mentions a sidebar of optional true name rules. But I couldn't find such a true name (although I only searched a few pages for- and backward). Is that sidebar somewhere else in the book or even in the core rules?As for butchering Cyans fluff, he did far more than what is described in the book. Everything after the chronicles is left out, even the part where he tricked a whole elven nation into destroying itself with a magical shield and nearly succeeded if not a chosen revealed his identity.Also his picture is ugly. Since when is Cyan related to Mind Flayers or Gold Dragons?</blockquote>
