Fizban's Treasury of Dragons (Dungeon & Dragons Book) (Dungeons & Dragons)

This book arrived quickly and was in great condition. After reading other reviews I was worried about the quality of printing but everything looks great. This is a gift so I can not speak to content just condition.

I love D&D, but i'll admit the rules heave portion can drag a little, Fizban here is telling us about dragins, and telling it like it is, without feeling bogged down in rules and stats. Don't get me wring, they are there, but it's done in a way that makes the book more of a treat than usual. And hey, gem dragons, and gem dragonborn pc's, what's not to love??

The books were devoid of damage, well written and concise with plenty of new lore and hooks to really launch your next campaign! The gemstone dragons are a nice touch, what with metallic and chromatic being the only 2 for ages

As many people have mention the book quality is not the best. Some of the pages were stuck/glued together and the text/ink printing is a little off at points. All that said, the content is the most important part of the book - which is where this book shines. Dragons are (obviously) a huge part of D&d - hence the name. I love the explanation of how the dragons are connected with the many worlds, as well as in depth detail of the goals, desires, and means by which each type of dragon lives. Though it might not be as helpful for a DM of many years who has already done this, the dragon hoard section can be very useful in determining how much loot each dragon has in their lair(s) - as well as describing more mundane items mixed in with the bountiful loot. There are updated dragonborn subrace details which I feel have been needed for a while, including but not limited to: more uses of breath weapons, different damage types of breath weapons, being able to fly, and greater damage immunities. The new spells are simple enough to understand, but could easily just be a renaming of a couple other spells that are already cannon. But I could easily see them being used more than others depending on the setting. As far as the subclasses go, I wish there were more options. I do like the new ranger/monk abilities, but I feel like they missed out on some other opportunities like an artificer with mechanical dragons, or maybe even a barbarian infused with powers of a dragon. Lastly, some of the new dragons and monsters are just amazing. An elderbrain dragon, eyedrakes, etc. I love these chaotic fusion monsters and can't wait to see how they will fit into my campaigns. All that said, this book has no campaign; it is simply a great resource for understanding how dragons will work in your realm/campaign setting. I would highly recommend getting this book - just see if you can buy it in a physical store to inspect the book for stuck pages and other imperfections.

After waiting for 18 YEARS for Wizards of the Coast to (finally) publish another Dragonlance gaming module, and eagerly awaiting Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, I received....THIS...?!? Fizban is called "Bahamat" instead of Paladine, NO mention of Krynn at all, and WORST of ALL... NO 5e Gaming stats for a Dragonlance! (Okay, granted I haven't gone through the entire book yet, I'm still too angry at being deceived) but it looks like WoTC, after that hostile takeover by Hasbro, has royally screwed us again! I'm ready to return it. If you loved Dragonlance....do NOT be deceived into buying this book!
