Previews: November and Beyond

[BryonD]

The D&D world still has mammoths, megaceros, stegosaurus and ankylosaurus and other giant herbivores, so it all works out in the end.

Also, D&D worlds tend to be mostly hollow do to the vast underdark areas. Thus they have much larger volumes, and corresponding surface areas, in order to maintain an appropriate gravity.

That cobalt dragon can't possibly exist on a deer diet. It's probably hunting for sport.

Perhaps it's acting on a cat-like instinct to hunt/torment small creatures...

And then bring it home to someone all half-dead and mauled as a gift.

Ah, cats dragons.

 

[Shroomy]

I wonder if the Orium dragon is intended to create a single minion, whether it hits or misses, or one per target it hit.

I also wonder how often DMs will have the dragon eat its own minion so it can recharge its breath weapon.

I found it interesting that the static damage inflicted by the minion is equivalent to the average damage of the adult orium dragon's breath weapon.

 

[Nebulous]

I think i'm going to add that Orium dragon to replace a certain dragon in Pyramid of Shadows.

 

[Tallifer]

never mind

 

[Quantarum]

In my homebrew dragons are creatures of magic, hybrid beings of both the mortal and spiritual world. When a dragon kills and eats a deer (or anything else) it's not the gross physical matter the dragon needs, it's the spiritual essence that really feeds it. This is why some dragons hunt while others prefer to have sacrifices delivered to them and others can sustain themselves on more esoteric things like pearls or music. A dragon that eats sheet music is an annoyance, one that prefers virginal maidens is a menace. -Q.
