Draconomicon: Chromatic Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons, 4th Edition

by Wizards of the Coast, Bruce R. Cordell, Ari Marmell

All about the most popular monsters of D&D--the dragons!

Draconomicon I: Chromatic Dragons describes several varieties of dragons, including red, blue, green, black, and white dragons, as well as three completely new chromatic dragons.

This sourcebook gives details of each dragon's powers, tactics, myths, lairs, servitors, and more. In addition, this book provides new information about draconic nations (such as Arkhosia) and organizations, and how chromatic dragons fit into the D&D game. Wide-ranging story and campaign elements in the book give DMs ready-to-play material that is easily incorporated into a gane, including adventure hooks, quests, and pregenerated treasure hoards.

[Ben Nealis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very informative supplement to 4th edition. A lot of neat details and great examples for new and veteran players and dungeon masters alike. I won't say that this manual is a must have but it's very nice to have.
