Other than the Purple Dragon (which i ranted positively about for the last 3 posts), this book is a great tool, giving dragons for all type of campaign, even ones spreading into places where most dragons fear to tread, such as the Feywild (don’t ask why they fear that) and the Shadowfell (not as much as the feywild, but still, would you really expect a dragon to be there?) However, there are many NON-EVIL dragons here in a supposedly evil dragon book (however, that doesn’t go as far as unaligned, so they can’t be bad).

Another thing: If Tiamat had a purple head, the battle against her would not be even be close to survivable, except if you were a mega god.

My opinion of the wyrmlings is that they are decent, lower-level dragons that can face starting PCs and are efficient for being babies…

P.S.: The Purple Wyrmling has an encounter dominating gaze that can scare those with a low will, which are usually those that deal lots of damage, so it can be put as a “End-boss” as early as the PC’s 1st adventure, being a lv 4 elite. Just pointing this out, being a Purple Dragon fan and all.

Purple Dragons are uber! Not to say Red Dragons, such as Expy, are weak, but Purple Dragons can CONTROL MINDS! I give it 15 stars out of 10 for an accurate and true evil mastermind dragon that can work with other psionic creatures, such as illithids, as well as give any dungeon delver the chills just thinking of how such an encounter would end. I can’t begin to imagine what plotline would come out of this SOLO CONTROLLER!

Hell, the look on my player’s face when the Kobold Hobbler triggered some explosive traps, and the enmity they had towards him, made the cost of the book totally worth it.

I found several things I’ll use just in my first skim through the book, and many more after reading through it.
