WotC Blogs II

I really hope that the Tiny to Medium-sized dragons go the way of the dodo in 4e. Fighting a dragon of that size is really lame and quite unnecessary -- that's what the lower-CR drakes are for.

Oh, they are great for making PCs feel incompetent. Little else says "You Suck!" as much as a baby dragon stomping the party at low level.

Market research on young gamers, eh? I guess they don't give a crap about the gamers who have been loyal DnD customers for over 20 years. Another reason to skip 4e.

I wonder if dragons will have a To Hit entry like this:

To Hit: +Level

If you have so many reasons to skip 4e, why are you even reading this subforum, let alone posting in it?

"The weather forecast said it would be sunny today, but it's raining. That does it, I'm going to skip 4e!"

"Aw man, my favorite band just broke up. Forget buying 4e!"

"Ow! I stubbed my toe on the coffee table! No way am I going to buy 4e now!"

"Sweet, I found a $50 bill on the street! WotC must have put it here, trying to trick me into buying 4e. I'm insulted by chicanery and skullduggery of this nature, and won't be buying their product as a result!"

That was a fantastic logic chain. Well done. (golf clap)

I kind of like the different personalities that dragons have in combat, so I hope thay havent been too standardized.

Dragons are kind of the 'flagship' monster in D&D, so they usually do get the lion's share of attention and peer review; I wouldn't worry about them being unique and cool.

My guess is that there are fewer statblock entries, and they would look something like this:

HP: htch 42, juv 75, yng 145, adl 245, old 365, wyrm 550

 

[Gundark]

There are several in the 3.5 MM:

Young Adult Black Dragon
Mature Adult Blue Dragon
Adult Green Dragon
Etc...

I think your trying to be difficult . I think what they mean that this is the first MM that every dragon printed is ready to go right out of book.

Man that would be sweet. My son turns 2 in October and I would love to be able to play in a game rather than DM. Sign me up for 4ed.
