it does have little membranes from its elbow/knee joint to the stomach and side. the multiple areas with the addition of an unrestricted tail (you will notice the wings end right before the tail) along with the spine along it would allow for fast, agile and accurate movement in the water without hindering flight

@marinetoast88

Since the dragon likely uses its wings as fins it would be a hinderence to have wings like a manta ray. It would be aesthetically correct, but more bat-like/traditional wings would allow it to swim much faster because it has more freedom of movement with its wings, it can put them forwards to forcw water back as it pushes along while only using its webbed feet for turning or when it doesnt need to cross a largw amount of water quickly. A common manta ray shape would force it to almost rely on ots legs and tail for movement on top of steering, and it would make the dragon much much slower

The Cleric almost got blasted by her new breath weapon when she woke up in a panic. And the bard failed a Dex save and was tripped by a flailing tail. And that was how our party saved a town from a dragon's tyrannical rule and how my sorceress went from a Chaotic Good Human to Lawful Good Bronze Half-Dragon.

Ya know, ever since you began covering Metallic Dragons and exposing some of their worse traits, I realized tha Metallic Dragons would work wonders as Paladin PCs. Bronze Dragons would work specially well for this concept. Let's use that last scenario of yours as an example. After wiping out an entire city over it's for their differing takes on justice, Bahamut (who'd probably abhor such an act of violence, given his nature) would punish the Bronze Dragon by permanently polymorphing into a human paladin, without any of dragonic traits (i.e breath weapon), until he sees the error of his ways (which considering the Bronze's unflinching nature to their justice, would likely take an entire campaign to happen). There is sooooooo much roleplay potential to this. There are plently of ways the Bronze Dragon could react to the event all in itself. And then once he started travelling with a party (since this is a PC we're talking about), the conflicts the dragon would get himself into over it's way of justice compared to the party would be plenty interesting. The best part is that the DM wouldn't even have to worry about having a true dragon tag along with the party and trivialize encounters, since he'd be stuck as a normal paladin without any of the perks of being a dragon. My ramblings about roleplay potential aside, love this video. I cannot wait to hear what you have to say about Gold and Silver dragons in particular, since they (specially the former) are considered the paragons of metallic dragons.

Between these and the Steel Dragons (and whatever other kind likes to polymorph) I kind of want to see a campaign where the whole party is secretly dragons, but none of them know it about the others, and there's a tense subplot going on to find out who can go the longest without being "outed".

I'm currently roleplaying a Half-Elf draconic-origin sorcerer who used to be a Bronze Dragon 100s of years before meeting the rest of my party but "sinned" in a way so that one of the dragon Gods cursed him by forcing him to turn into a Half-Elf until he learned the error of his ways, only then could he turn back into what he once was. The only issue is that he has absolutely zero knowledge of what he once was, but me and my dm agreed that he would gain more memories of his past life as he leveled up and his personality would slowly alter to that as a bronze dragon with each level. And that is why I'm really glad this video was released, I swear this makes researching bronze dragons 10000000x easier.

Oh my god, this gives me a great idea for my next player character! (If the DM allows) A lawful good paladin that is actually a bronze dragon in disguise. He'd gain his paladinic abilities from his own Draconic power. Like divine smight would be lightning aspected. And rather than sticking to an oath per see, it sticks to his own lawful interpretation of Good. He would gain levels like a normal character, but rather than his actual power, it is just him getting used to his polymorphed form. Subtle clues could give it away to the other players in the group, like insisting on fish or shark fin soup at an inn or refusing Gold for quests (Even though he really wants it) and ending up having to plead with the party members to buy a new set of armor. This could be so great! :DD

I found this to be really interesting, especially since I have a Bronze Dragon who acts as a King in my campaign. And he sent his son to look over a series of colonies to essentially rule over. Now that I know the more dark side of Bronze Dragons, I need to rewrite his personality a bit before I players meet him in a few sessions.

Great video, this information is exactly what I needed! In my custom world I have a coastal city which is ruled by a Bronze Dragon from the shadows, it leaves the politics and debates to a council, as it has no interest in such matters. It's subjects know about the dragon, or rather they know there is a dragon living nearby and offer it treasures in a annual event in exchange for it's protection. The dragon sees the area as it's territory and would attack pirates and such regardless... but of course would never turn down such a generous offering, swooping in under the cover of night to take the riches to it's lair. I currently started a new campaign within the same world, and to start things off I have the party fight Sahuagin on a stormbattered ship on the southern edges of the dragon's domain. I was not aware Sahuagin are a Bronze's favourite humanoid food (since they taste like sharks) so things happily fell into place. I also haven't yet factored in the more tyrannical aspect of it's justice... perhaps i will do so at a later date. Also, I was unaware they would test people or rarely kill humans.. though that too makes sense. I love it when I find new information that just fits perfectly within the story. Thanks!

It would be interesting to see one of those 'tyrannical bronze dragons' dealing with a paladin who disagrees with him.

man i love your videos! thank you so much for this

Maybe they don't repay the good will to the specific person who helped said dragon polymorphed into a beggar but instead repay it to crews and caravans under attack by pirates and bandits. Perhaps they see us softskins as a collective over a collection of individuals and sees repaying the good to someone else as a reward for another's good deed. My black dragonborn conquest paladin's sense of justice is very similar to that of a bronze dragon, not something I knew until I saw this video. When the party rolled into a town under the thumb of a tyrannical robber baron (who, despite his wickedness, was the legitimate ruler of this area and these people) and they arrived just as a hanging was being carried out. Some farmer had stolen food from the baron's cellars. My paladin, to the praise of the crowds and parties, cut him down after neatly dispatching the guards who impeded him. Then to the horror of the crowds and the party he proceeded to sever the farmer's right hand, cauterizing the wound with his blessed blade until the man passed out. This he proclaimed is the appropriate level of punishment for theft. Not a hanging. He then marched at the head of a slightly disturbed party right up to the baron's doorstep, proceeded to kill pretty much his entire household (any who resisted anyway) and dragged the baron into town and hung him for extortion, assault and rape; all of which were abuses he heaped on the folk he ruled. And then we left. It took a while for the party to get used to him but after a while they began to see things from his perspective.

Black dragons usually tend to be evil.

@@houseofm9700 My character was a dragonborn, not a dragon. While they appear in all the same hues as chromatic and metallic dragons they don't really follow the same patterns. Most dragonborn are good regardless of if they're metallic or chromatic. I was just commenting that, in retrospect, I kind of accidentally made him have a somewhat similar sense of justice to that of a bronze dragon, though he wasn't nearly as shy about killing, even if he never sought it out unless necessary.

I would've love to roleplay with such a character in one of my sessions. I am envious of you.

Bronze Dragons Ruthlessly apply the letter of the law with a callous disregard for the spirit or intent of the law. I love this. Law can quickly become a slippery moral slope.

So let's get this straight. It does no harm in battle but doesn't mind leaving pirates stranded in the middle of the ocean to die from starvation and dehydration. Wow cruel. No wonder your a warmachine

I love the old art. I’ve haven’t played in 20 years and recognize more than half the art!

I love your knowledge about D&D it makes me really want to play! I miss playing my good dimilich god necromancer Xaemar Fatesealer who saved the world 3 times in a row! Played the game for like 4 years or longer with the same character! He was beast as balls! Lol well keep up the great work and I really want to learn about the dracolich next! They are so cool to me lol! And yes I was a good dimilich! Lol I roled played the shit out of that character!

Amazing work as always! And now I have some interesting plans for a certain city in my campaign. Hehehe.

these videos are so great that I constatly come back to your channel to see if there'S a new one

It sounds like the Bronze Dragon thinks of the fashion that a dead enemy is one that cannot repent and change and turn towards good deeds.

Keep up the great videos. I'm taking loads of notes for my DND sessions. 📝😊✍🏼

thanks for this. I play a draconic bloodline sorcerer tied to a Bronze Dragon, this could inform a lot of interesting Roleplaying choices. She's also a teifling/tainted by infernal powers, so the end result is chaotic good. playing with themes of conflicting bloodlines. this info will be very good to play with to show a bit more of the draconic blood.

I would argue Bronce Dragons dont reward good people help because...good people should not expect anything from helping others. Otherwise it might be a trade, or be incentivated by personal gain.

Well I know what encounter I am going to run when the players get high enough level. A tyrannical bronze dragon over policing a city to their detriment and the party has to “convince” them to leave and since they cannot be reasoned with they have to defeat them

There is no justice without the truth and the balancing factor of compassion.

It’s interesting looking back at the actual lore of these creatures, because when I was in 2nd grade, I had a poster of all the D&D dragons and ended up writing a story with a Bronze dragon as the villain, and it was my first indication that I liked writing fantasy stories. I had no concept of D&D, and if only I’d known this info, I’d have characterized him way differently.

You made the video as if it was some sort of "great dark secret", and I was here waiting for the "dark reveal" to finally happen. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, about not having any "dark secret".

All of this pretty much fits a bronze dragon NPC of mine: Vorashtalornakarr (Vorash for short), Guardian of the Dragonwood. All those who live within the Dragonwood do so only with her permission, and all those who would exploit her realm's bounty are encouraged to leave (those who don't take the first offer never get a second). She keeps watch on her realm either through scrying or travelling in disguise (I even took the time to write up her stat-block in squirrel form).

This makes me want to make a bronze dragon that is stuck polymorphed as a human and is suffering from amnesia. It would make an interesting background and character.

I kind of want to play or run a 1-shot, where you have to confront a tyranical bronze dragon.

I just love the line: "For the dragon wants good and justice, and if you are against him, you must be evil, or you must be against good"

Yes more dragon stuff! Makes me so happy! Really helps me flesh out my homebrew dragon stand character who's main goal is to cause the extinction of dragons. Keep up the good work!

Let's hope the GM is unaware of the vast network of connections that dragons have and pacts they have to deal with dragon hunters Many dragons may turn a blind eye to one or two of their kind killed, but they absolutely put their information networks to use to gather intel about all known and new dragon hunters Many never kill more than three dragons before the dragons call a moot and move together to squash the hunter

For the Emperor's Justice! Can you do silver dragon next please? They are my favourite kind of dragon and I wonder if they have any bad side too since they are described as extremely wise and good.

Great video as always. By the way, in this dragon series of yours, will you cover "semi-dragons" like kobolds or even dragonborn?

Bronze Dragon really sounding like they'd see one of those "Lawful Good" Paladins or from RPG stories (aka is actually Lawful Stupid or uses that alignment as a shield to do whatever they want) and go "This one gets it!"

Isn't Tyranny inherently evil?

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.

Great video. Gave me some great ideas.
