Davvy reviews Fizban's Treasury of Dragons 

Perfectly aged like a fine wine.

Doing battle with the dragon within?

This is a great like, is it referencing something specific?

Dragons? In this economy?

*hears about a dragon living near a mountain* OH BOY time to go enchant my sword!

ranger is my second though

@@themultiversalasbestosdeal7771 yeah, ranger is actually my favorite class (along with wizard). It is kinda funny that the two "weak" classes got subclasses in this book when no other classes did, though.

@@GalvatronRodimus as someone who likes both classes these are the subclasses ive wanted since 5e came out. Glad they are finally here

SAME BRO, SAME

As a fellow monk main im just happy we finally have dragon subclasses now. Can play as a dragon slayer in peace

@@jasonandrews1770 we also finally have a monk only magic item

They were always bad

Same.

I think Toothless was a gem dragon, Obsidian or Jet, as he didn't breath acid.

Depends on the version. Movie Hiccup is defo just a Drakewarden, but book Hiccup likely has some levels in Pact of the Chain warlock (Toothless being a psudodragon familiar). Actually, he might not even be a drakewarden at all, since Windwalker seems more similar to something from a find greater steed spell than the fire-breathing combat companion that the drakewarden provides.

@@rutheforbandet6157 also don't forget dipping into battlesmith artificer for all his tinkering

@@troperhghar9898 Armorer seems better, with all his prosthetics, tbh.

​@@troperhghar9898 Eh, from memory he’s not much a tinkerer as much as just being resourceful, at least in the books. I thought it over, and I came up with a build for him that’s at least viable. Race: Variant Human for the feat, pick up lucky (every hero needs some of it). For the skill, pick Persuasion. Background: Folk Hero. It has appropriate skill proficiencies and fits the theme of the character. Ability scores: Our first priority is Cha, with the second being Wis. For standard array: Str: 8 Dex: 12 Con: 13 (Increased to 14) Int: 10 (Whilst Hiccup is shown to be intelligent, it’s mostly on the subject of dragons, which is covered by the nature proficiency) Wis: 14 Cha: 15 (Increased to 16) Class 1: Ranger. Start with this to get some skill proficiencies, picking up Nature, Perception and Stealth. For favoured enemy, pick dragons, meaning that you now speak draconic and are experienced at tracking and recalling info about them. Also pick up the deft explorer optional class feature. Stick with 1 level for now. Class 2: Warlock (Hexblade). We mostly want this for pact of the chain, but it has some other benefits as well. Cha-based attacks makes the character less MAD, and allows us to use a longsword which is more appropriate to Hiccup. Many of the abilities are also easy to reflavour as martial prowess. Pick a psudodragon familiar for Toothless and the Investment of the Chain Master invocation. The other invocations and spells are up to the player. Only go 4 levels, since this is when we get an ability score increase. Increase your Cha to keep up with bonded accuracy. For the rest of the level range, stick to ranger. At 3rd level choose Drakewarden as your subclass and summon a big shaggy boi (Fun fact: It is stated in How to Seize a Dragon’s Jewel that Windwalker canonically smells of drinking chocolate). Notable points include picking humans at some point for your favoured enemy, and picking up the dueling fighting style. For ability scores, max out your Cha, and put one increase into Wis. Finally, pick up the mounted combatant and inspiring leader feats. (You might want to pick up the latter at the very end for flavour’s sake.) Also, if you’re wondering if the Wodensfang is included, he’s not as he’s really just a more likeable version of Levi from Legend of Zelda, and not really a combatant.

True. Like a tiamat patron or something of the like

I've been wanting a dragon pact forever now.

@@dragonarchive7443 I think it's one of those ideas that's just so good and obvious, that Wizards want to make 111% sure they nail it the first time. You know, so we don't get another Undying Pact where the flavor is great, but the execution was rushed so nobody actually plays it. Still... again, seems a miss for the book completely about dragons.

@@LORDOFDORKNESS42 it also seems like something that sounds better on paper then it is in practice. i've seen ALOT of dragon pact warlocks in homebrews and its hard to find any that seems actually worth the trouble. the problem is that a draconic warlock is basically just a diet draconic bloodline sorcerer with less powers. if you really wanna just hang out with a dragon and gain bonuses from that then the Draconic gifts is literally what you want.

Yeah the Dragon Patron would have been easy. Sadly Wizards is a lazy company.

Make them a lightning Dragonborn and then the real fun begins ;)

@@mattevans4377 Jokes on you. I already have. You end up with a bunch of breath weapon uses, and on demand shield if you take Gift of the Metallic Dragon.

Warlock can do the same, at level 2 though? Though the M/C combo has more opportunities at the same level to push back, providing the Warlock doesn't multi-class into Sorcerer for Meta Magic.

Now this

@@Battleguild Actually, you can just take the metamagic adept feat with variant human and have metamagic and 2 sorcery points, so you can theoretically get twinned Eldritch Blast at level 1

I don't need to look it up, I already know what it is

Thanks. Still feel like I should burn my laptop though.

Please, enlighten me

@@DevourerDragons they make very special dildos themed around dragon dick

Don't forget the Meatcanyon partnership

Rocket Jumping!

This comment is what convinced me to get the book. I need to make a rocket jumping dragonborn

@@martingon9156 small addendum/protip, be sure to also pack feather fall or monk levels. and if you have the Gold and don't mind being an artificer or would rather be a martial class while blowing yourself up, the DMG conveniently provides explosives to blast jump with.

So you’re telling me that you can make an Artillerist Artificer Chromatic Dragonborn, that is able to shoot rockets, but also rocket jump.

@@mistamemewide and most importantly, will not (easily) die or even take damage from 'casting' Fireball at their own feet.

wait a minute. bad dragons or Bad Dragon's

I thought WOTC was having serious issues with Weiss and Hickman? I feel like a Dragonlance setting book would just stir the pot even more, even though it is technically WOTC property I believe, I dunno if they'd want to do that? Unless they want to sort of rub it in Weiss & Hickman's faces... which... dick move.

@@Insertfunnycomment they settled their issues out of court.

Hey man, Gailen, where’d you get that profile picture? I’ve been trying to find it ever since I used that menu replacer a long while back but I haven’t been able to find it again for a while. Much thanks in advance

and theros?

@@carlsmagicbicep9736 That was already mentioned in the video.

I believe the final boss from Time of The Frost Maiden had something similar, like, different phases, I think it was just multiple sheets that you changed as each phase "got killed", but it sounds similar.

To increase sales.

It truly does blow my mind that that hasn't become a thing

I agree. Once a dragon reaches ancient status they are pretty much demi-gods anyway. So why not have the ability to form pacts?

You can easily reflavor the genie warlock, it is not a perfect fit, but close enough.

"Upped the immunity for Chromatic to 10 minutes since it will still not come up very often, but the expanded time allows for environmental interaction." very bold buff for somebody within point blank fireball range.

10 minute immunity is a little much ever for a player race, fire immunity is at minimum the equivalent of a very rare to legendary item that you could get at lvl 1

@@mochristie5419 That all greatly depends on just how often fire damage even comes up.

@@MrRukrio1 It at least makes Chromatic more appealing given how Metallic and Gem are stronger.

@@TyranusRex721 you've never had a guy propose to you how they can blow themselves and everyone around them up once every 6 seconds with absolutely no downside other than burning spell slots and maybe font of magic points, have you?

You could have just played a Lizardfolk, and fluffed the bite as a 5 foot cone breath weapon that spews teeth. You would have gotten a tail for your trouble, too.

They do, made with real swamp water and Grade A human.

It was thick with information and the narration took some interesting curves... definitely hit different.

That ability doesn't become available until level 5, it can only be used once per day, it only lasts for 1 minute, and the speed it grants is only 30 feet (or is it equal to walking speed? Can't remember off the top of my head.) Point is, it's not that impressive. I've been DMing an all-Dragonborn game with 3 Gems, and they don't pop their wings unless the thing they're fighting also flies. It's really nothing to write home about.

Because they are not easy to get hold of. Put this stuff on Drivethru RPG and expand your potential andience.

Got Grim Hollow, use it together with Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, wrote a gothic horror setting, me and the bois are having a great time ever since. Transformation mechanics are dope as hell and super enrich the gameplay for certain classes, like the werewolf branch of the bloodhunter or the beastbarian from Tasha's. 10/10, would definitely mix Lovecraft, Shelley, and Stoker into a big bowl of WTF again! 💀❤

you have to imagine that people looking at the review of a dragon focused D&D book are probably oging to have that book, and maybe the "how to draw" variant that was in craft stores.

The kobolds in the UA were just mini dragonborn and needed more work
