…And that was when Kuriboh told me that the key to a successful polyamorous union was a mutual hatred of Jaden Yuki. I’m not familiar with Jaden Yuki myself, but I suppose I don’t need to be! Brass dragons like myself don’t have long-lasting relationships, you see. No, I prefer the company of lesser creatures such as yourselves. I don’t mean to offend! I apologize for any harm done. That’s simply the word of the great god Bahamut. Excellent deity, Bahamut. My mother told me all about him. The Platinum Dragon lives behind the East Wind, she said, and many of you lesser creatures think that means the Elemental Plane of Air. But don’t worry, his great home was not subsumed into the Elemental Chaos, it’s actually on Celestia. Seems rather obvious, doesn’t it? I thought so, anyway. Elemental Chaos? Nasty place. I won’t hesitate to tell you, whoever’s idea it was to take all of the elemental planes and mash them together should not be asked for advice again. Wonderful thing, advice. I once received some excellent advice from a rattlesnake named Tobias - I named him that of course, snakes don’t have much of a naming tradition. Wonderful things, names.

Oh, what advice did Tobias give? Well, it’s a funny story actually, though It begins a few days before I met Tobias. There was a sandstorm, if I recall. Nasty things, sandstorms. Personally I’m not affected by them much, but there are fewer lessers out and about and I love company. That’s why I built this Grand Hall of Conversation. I do hope you like it, it was made for humanoids to appreciate. Not that I think you humanoids are all the same. Why, I never thought I’d see a pair of tieflings in the desert! You’re all very interesting. Why just four years ago I spoke with a tiefling named Panic Grimtongue - he was a Bard from Alivast - have any of you heard of Alivast? It sounded made up to me, but I don’t leave my desert much! It would be awfully irresponsible of me to leave the treasures of the Calim Empire unguarded, what with that blue dragon moving in. Nasty creatures, blue dragons. Patient devils, too. Oh, I can be patient as well but it helps to have a friend with me for that. I like company, what can I say? Why, I once waited three years eating nothing but morning dew and speaking with nothing but an armadillo whose tunnel I found, watching the lair of Meryatum for her while she was... well, that’s not really my business. Oh! The blue dragon is what I wanted to see you about! Horrible things, blue dragons. It won’t attack my lair but it’s terrorizing the trade roads and some of the nomads. Lovely people, nomads. Why, the village elder of the Detanbam tribe comes by every year to meet with me. Wonderful people, the Detanbam. They’re a tribe of Earth Genasi moving from oasis to oasis. They only recently moved here after the spell plague. Nasty occurrence, the spell plague. I was always fond of Mystra - so happy she’s recovered from that business with Cyric - nasty god, Cyric. I don’t have much to say about him. I am, after all, Tulgither the Short-Winded. Anyway, I was hoping you could help me kill that blue dragon. Nasty business, killing.

Brass dragons can be wonderful for a GM willing to put in some creative thought. In my own (homebrew) campaign, the party wizard wanted to attempt making an infant brass dragon his temporary familiar. You better believe I made him work *very hard* to get that chance. He ended up needing to obtain a very rare painting (in point of fact, a queen's most prized possession) in order to "purchase" an egg from a brass dragon pair. What that really meant was that he was permitted to remain with that single egg, caring for it under the watchful eyes of the parents. (And, naturally, keeping up his end of the conversations!) At the time of hatching, he was permitted to initiate contact with that hatchling and attempt to persuade it to befriend him. And of course he rolled a natural 20 when it came time for that. I almost wish sometimes he hadn't, as baby dragons make inconvenient familiars at best, haha! The dragon is still around, almost ten real-world years later, but no longer a familiar - he is an NPC now, but still a staunch ally of the wizard and a friend to the whole region - he has plenty of people to talk to!

Imagine a brass dragon going on a long vacation out of curiosity and meeting a village of Wood Gnomes. It will be hell for those little shy dudes.

Wizards specialized in manipulating the Weave to form magic effects. Clerics specialized in manipulating divine granted positive and negative energy. Undead and the like are formed and fuelled by negative energy, and Clerics have a direct line to it in the purest form. Wizards can mimic those effects by using the Weave to access negative energy, but an evil or undead focused Cleric can literally emit those energies as Harm/Heal and through channeling divinity. They can bolster, create and turn the undead so easily because they manipulate the fundamental energies of life and undeath. Besides, a Wizard can study the secrets of undeath for years and not come close to a Cleric whose deific patron is someone like Vecna or Myrkul. Being able to ask a god of death questions about the nature of necromancy is a bit OP.

They do, but their viewpoints are so antethetical to each other that they come to blows Even so, dragons of all alignments will absolutely ally with each other to put an end to wide ranging dragon hunters, even if only temporarily Brass dragons may recruit hunters to fight their enemy from time to time, but almost all dragons consider it beneath them to do so, not only does it hurt dragons as a hole, it allows dragon secrets to be known by 'lesser' races- if they can hunt the enemy dragons now, what stops them from hunting the other dragons later?

“As you sleep, the ground around you suddenly starts collapsing. You wake up in a prison of sand and see a small dragon staring at you almost in anticipation of something.” Players probably start freaking out. “And suddenly the dragon starts going on and on about everything he knows.” Huge joyful monologue later. “He then looks at you and asks you a bunch of questions to see what you know expecting an equally long monologue”. Now wouldn’t that be a funny campaign moment?

I assume that when you say "they can never win on their own" you mean it as in "when they fight a blue dragon of the same age category. Seeing as I would assume an ancient brass would deal with a young or even adult blue rather easily. Or is that incorrect? Edit: Based off of CR.

Your efforts haven’t gone unnoticed and we are all very thankful for it.

I'm so happy you're posting more dragon lore! I have a homebrew character in my main campaign right now that is heavily influenced by dragons, both lore and ability wise. I love your vids and it's always a pleasant surprise to see a new one!

A brass dragon seems to be the only type that could live in a city and run it not as warlord or rules obsessed dictator but as a legitimate city official(if really long winded and annoying to deal with one), employing legitimate town watch and hiring adventures to do all the serious fighting, you know as their aversion to precious metals would allow them not to horde any and let the city to have a normal economy.

This series is an awesome visit to my favourite book in 3.5 - the Draconomicon. Best D&D manual ever! Keep the good times rollin, Mr. Rhexx!

Please talk about silver dragons! One of my favorite DnD stories comes from the Silver Dragon Codex and it tells of a silver dragon with no memory of being a dragon living with a circus in human form. They shoot freezing cold air, they travel a lot, they are the rivals of red dragons, and they collect souvenirs from across the world as their treasure.

Hopefully you'll get to Bronze. I have a player who's Bronze Dragonborn has been transformed into a true Bronze dragon. Your previous videos on dragons have great info hoping the bronze gets the same treatment. Before anyone says it, a character who is a dragon is not as gamebreaking as you might think at mid levels. It's actually harder for him as he becomes a huge target for any enemies that don't run. He tends to stay in humanoid form for that reason. The group got captured (they surrendered before a fight broke out) by a large group of devils while the dragon character was "in statis". When he woke up, he transformed and demanded to be released. They immediately (after the initial shock of course) started throwing chains over his neck , trying to get him to surrender. When he fought back, they encircled him in a ring of spearmen and nearly killed him. His repusion breath saved him, blasting away attackers on his flank, allowing him to focus on thier front line. Moral of the story, he tries to keep his true nature low key.

So, he isn't a real dragon. People don't mind that part. It's if you start out as a dragon who is able to turn into a humaniod that makes it op apparently to others, coming from personal experience, since my main d&d character, that I NEVER get rid off (even have a custom miniature for him and everything) is a bronze dragon, who use a magical artifact (for most of his life until he became a adult, and was tricked into think his humaniod form was his REAL form, when the truth is the other way around) to make him into a bronze dragon born. That was called op, and I was told good luck finding someone to play with. It all comes down to their origins whether the masses decide if he is op or not. Born (NOT the race dragonborn, or skyrim "dragon"born) a dragon and you are op, but if you were some other race that just can turn into one at will, then you ain't op, for not only stat reasons, but from apparently lore, society, and love making reasons. So it just depends what your character originally was.

I'm currently creating a chart, should he settle down in a lair, gold piece value benchmarks that activate "lair actions" wards and glyphs that protect his lair. Essentially giving him a reason to collect gold and treasure.

@@drizzo4669 So he is gonna switch from pc to npc? Also gotta hope he doesn't run into a real dragon, or else he may end up fighting with them, which he will need outside help for. Good luck!

@@zionthedragon8866 No, he will remain a player character. We did about 20 adventures with him in party as a Dragonborn and we've done the last 2 with him as a Bronze dragon. Its working out just fine. He has just as many advantages as he has disadvantages and nobodies role in the party has Been diminished because of this. Our dwarf fighter is still awesome, the druid has healing and shape shifting ability that the party finds valuable. The other paladin has an interesting story and does a ton of damage in combat while the dragon character can be a medium sized extra paladin or a huge dragon causing terror (and drawing huge agro) across the battlefield. It's working out my only real gripe is that they use him for transportation now....something I need to always keep in mind as possible.

I've been playing since the THAC0 days and 3.5 will forever hold deep love in my heart. Though your recent videos have made me want to play again with the new rules. I love your channel and can't wait for the next installment. I personally think a Dragon specific series would be awesome. I read the 3.5 Draconomicon and would love to see comparisons in 5e.

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon this video. You showed me my favorite dragon. I've since watched almost every single DnD lore video you have. I love this channel.

I love setting up an encounter with a young brass dragon every once in a while. I am currently hosting 4 campaigns and every time there is a point when the group gets to "silent" I'll sent them to a brass dragon

Fantastic as always. I really love these D&D lore videos and have learned so much for my campaigns. Keep it up man!

Man I like the idea to include a brass dragon couple if I ever run a campaign. Like the style of those dragons. Maybe with an opposing evil blue dragon.

As someone who commonly plays a Bard, I adore Brass Dragons. I've always wanted to meet one in-game. :)

Great video! Gave me some good inspiration to background story for a rogue thief who is working together with a brass dragon to open a tavern. She collects art treasures, he pays her in gold to help save up for the establishment. Also it will serve as a social arena for the dragon!

Please do every major dragon type, including Gem dragons, and the Dragon Gods! Then maybe a nice video on lesser known dragons like Stygian Dragons and Battle Dragons.

Wants to talk your ear off and has a beautiful museum like home. Brass Dragons = Grandma.

This got recommended to me out of nowhere, made me remember that I have a book on dragons that I haven't looked at in maybe 10 years. love nostalgia

I've read a practical guide to dragons, and it describes a brass dragon as one of , if not the most humble of all dragons and says they like plant materials like rare wood or finley woven cloth

These DnD videos are by far your best videos, imo. You do great things with lore, but you seem so much more passionate about this stuff.

Please make a Gold Dragon Lore video! I have plans for an Ancient Golden Dragon soon, and I could use all the info I can get.

Man, just make a chromatics lore series. We are eager to watch it. Fantastic videos!

Brass dragons are my favorite of the dragon types in D&D.

I love this. This is so much fuel for my brass dragon npc in disguise. Great video

Nice, brass dragons have always been my favorite. got to love an underdog...

you're absolutely right about the "shortcomings" of 5e Monster Manual, it lacks lots of nice lore about everything :D only good thing about 5e imo is it streamlined the "gameplay" section and made it much more approachable :D i love lore in any fantasy universe and magical items (and their unique uses) so that's why i prefer 3.5e, it's a lot more complicated gameplay-wise but if you have a dm that knows lore and knows how to present it then it becomes really fun :D

Awesome video. I honestly think I want to run brass dragons with that older concept of steam generation from now on. Side note, as you've now covered two desert dwelling dragons, I'd really enjoy one on Sand Dragons from 3.5e module Sandstorm. They're definitely interesting, but I don't think there's much on them in the draconomicon.

Keep up the great work! I'm loving these videos :D

Love the care you put into this series, pays off!!

i like the gas idea cuz it makes more sense with the whole gathering art and protecting it. they wouldn’t have to worry about burning their collection if they just breathe out a thick gas that scares people away. and they would be scared of hurting the plants of the desert if all they just put people to sleep around it. it just kinda makes more sense for them

i am loving this videos about dragons, in my campain the are 3 ancient dragons that are still around and saved the land many years ago, a copper dragon that is like a level 20 bard, a bronze dragon that is a level 20 rogue and a gold dragon that is a level 20 fighter. So it is good to know more about then for when a have to design the encounters.

My GM gave one of my chatacters a baby white dragon as a pet. So I'm really excited for the white dragon video if its as in depth as this one and the others you've done so far

I'm running a game and the players are in a desert and there is 100% a brass dragon there. I'm thinking of putting Wan Shi Ton's Library [from Avatar the Last Airbender] as it's lair.

I like to think the idea behind the gas breath weapon, was literally a pun on how they talk excessively and often trivially, effectively "gassing" at their audience. 10/10 would house rule Brass Dragon gas breath back in.

I haven't watched this channel for 2 years, nostalgia do be coming back

Dude these videos are amazing, I love these D&D videos, been playing for years and never knew half of this stuff,

I love your narrations man keep it up! Also If I can make a request, I would request the Mind Flayers of Thoon from either monster manual 3 or 4 in 3.5th edition.

From this day my Brass dragons breaths gas.

Keep killing it mr.rhexx

Lo! Volo has taken dragon form! We cannot escape the endless chatter!

I really want to include a two headed brass dragon that seeks out adventurers to talk to, because the two heads aren't on speaking terms.

Kind of expected a Green Dragon video much later, but this one of Brass Dragons this early is definitely a welcome surprise. Guessing Bronze ones are up next, since you’re going alphabetically ignoring types?

Yes I like these. Do more :3 the black dragon video was perfect timing too because I was trying to do research on them specifically xD

Amazing job, I would love to hear you talk more about green dragons

Love these videos!

I would love a full series, but silver next?

i will never tire of these D&D lore videos

It's because of the shift from rulings to rules. Also I can't help but notice a number of these "what the monster manual doesn't tell you" is still in the Pathfinder monster manual (which is based on 3.5e).

Awesome video man. I'm making a campaign that revolves around dragons and these videos are super helpful. I'm currently trying to make characters that are half chromatic dragons, and it would be very helpful for me if you finished all the chromatic dragons before doing the rest of the metallic dragons. If that's not possible for you then don't worry about it. I'll appreciate your videos just the same; regardless what order they come out in.

Thanks to this lore my brass dragons will not only be more unique as a monster, they'll have a multi purpose gas weapon to differentiate them from the others types of fire breathing dragons in my campaign. Thank you.

I want to know more about the Dracolich! I had one in my D&D army when we was fighting Diablo and his two brothers in D&D! With my Dimilich character Xaemar Fatesealer!

I homebrewed my brass dragons to use poison breath so that every metallic is different and every chromatic has an equivalent. That info about the gas weapon plays perfectly into it, especially with different kind of effects - a poison does not have to deal damage, after all.

Even though I have never played D&D i still enjoy these videos, monster lore is always fun.

there's a small sub plot in one of my campaigns were a brass dragon accidentally runs into a small colony of blue dragons and somehow convinces them to convert and follow Bahamut, he also falls in love and has shiny little half blue babies with the local blacksmith.

I think it would be awesome to just stroll into a Brass Dragon's lair and have a lengthy conversation with a spot of tea.

Loved it , very interesting about the breath change

Another great lore video! You are the best!

Every fighter I've ever played soiled their pants when you showed that shot of all the kinds of rust monster.

This one and the silver dragon are really cool! So much potential for adventures !

Brass Dragons: “So this one time at bandcamp...”

This gave me great inspiration, do you have a script or pdf of these traits so i can quick reference them during play?

Brass has always been my favorite, your video on Coppers has given them competition though

Can’t wait for the bronze dragon video!
