5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Even more than Draconomicon: Chromatic Dragons, I was looking forward to Metallic Dragons. For the first time in D&D, the metallic family of dragons are actually viable encounters, rather than super-powerful good guys that the typical adventuring party would rarely find themselves in conflict with. Included are breakdowns of draconic behavior, how they compare with chromatic behavior (useful considering the vast majority of DMs will be more familiar with running chromatic dragons), and how dragons in general relate to humaniods. The book then further divides itself divides itself into how specific varieties of metallic dragons behave. Also included are prefab encounters for parties of every level, with maps and stat blocks. The format of the book is basically the same as Chromatic Dragons was. The only real problem I have with this book is that it occasionally references the first Draconomicon in the series.
All in all, I found this book to be an excellent resource for running a species of monster that can easily step away from being a normal tactical encounter, and is every bit as likely to a manipulator or power behind the throne. It's also just plain fun to read.
