D&D Dragon Info

Post by Straha »

Alright, I need help here. Trying to remake my very first D&D charecter who was a Bronze Dragon (under second edition). Now could someone help me out with any of the special rules and info please?

Ah, I could help, but my information has just been made outdated, thanks to the release of D&D 3.5. :(

Funny, I saw a stack of them in my local WotC store at the mall.

I've seen the 3.5 entry for a Red Dragon, you literally have to hunt for a half hour to find the blood changes(All in the text, not the abilities). I doubt the normal dragons will change much.

Yeah, I know. I was mildly surprised myself, as were my friends. The new DMG is freaking massive, 50-80% larger than the last one. Still, I'm saving my money for the new Silhoutte PHBs myself. ;)

But anyway, apparently the new special rules in 3.5 are enough to make 3.0 essentially worthless, even if the stats aren't changed that much. :x

Second Edition had a boxed set called Council Of Wyrms, but I lost my copy when the friend who borrowed it moved without giving it back :evil: You might be able to find it digitized somewhere online... *shrug*
