Author Description

Dragons! The very name invokes power beyond reckoning, fire that can melt mountains and fangs the size of swords. To face a dragon is to face the ultimate challenge of any adventurer's career. The reward for victory: gold, enough to twist any mortal's heart into a bigger monster than the one they just slew. Inside this tome lies the secrets of dragonkind, as well as those mortals who look upon them with awe or with bitter envy. Research a fearsome foe or summon the courage to make an ally of these primordial beings and put your strength and wisdom to the test. Success will see triumph beyond measure, while failure leads to an ignominious end within the dragon's maw! Inside, you'll find: * Statistics for over 20 types of dragons, including expansions on the dragons found in Monster Core and Monster Core 2! * Statistics for the ferocious archdragons, the oldest and mightiest dragons of their kinds! * Expanded background and lore for dragons, including information on dragon physiology! * Nine draconic deities for dragons and adventurers alike to worship! * Ancestry and heritage options to play a draconic character of your own, from expansions to the dragonblood and kobold to a brand-new dragonet ancestry! * Draconic pacts for those brave enough to tie their fates to these dangerous and magical beings. * Character options for characters of all types that wish to claim the power of dragons, including the draconic acolyte archetype to take on the physical features of your draconic benefactor!
