I bought Fizban's for Christmas. My son read it and said "The Book of Dragons was better" :) There are few things I dislike - a few stats over 30, a very few CRs over 30 - but this book is a lot of fun for both players (my son loved his Dragon-Path Dragonborn Druid PC who spent all his time in dragon form) and for GMs. Most useful for me are the chromatic dragon stats, especially those between young and adult, and the great wyrms for those level 20 PCs. Good stuff.

This book is a welcomed addition to any table, however it is not without its flaws. The subclasses, which does not include one for one for either the Wizard or the Sorcerer, have a few repeated features among them. While this is understandable considering the theme of the book it is still disappointing to see so many versions of damage resistances, breath weapons and flight as class features across the eleven subclasses. Having said that however, the unquie features I feel are pretty well written, and as a DM I could utilize them as rewards for my players even if I don't allow the subclasses to be used themselves.

The three races are well fleshed out lore wise, and pretty cool. Though mechanically its hard for them to stand out much differently than the Dragonborn, but to be honest it is truely difficult to make a truly unique race when it comes to the mechanics of the game itself.

There are two sections that really make this book shine. First is the completely new class teh Dragonbound. Featuring three subclasses of its own, the Dragonbound introduces a character with a dragon companion that grows with the character across their adventure. While it may prove to be a bit overpowered at times, I feel it is offset by Soulbound between both the dragon and the player character. If one dies, they both die. In addition, they both would need to be revived for either one of them to come back. All three subclasses are excellent in my opinion, and personally I would love to run a campaign of all Dragonbound characters.

Secondly the expanded lore on the dragons themselves is excellent and really flushed out. The additional dragon types and even dragon ages help add additional punch to the dragons in your game and truely allow them to feel powerful.

The book overall has been fantasic.

Lots of good matieral for dungeon masters to work with and cool new dragons to add into worlds. I think my favorite part personally is the additional class "Dragonbound", such a cool class to add into campaigns with dragon themes.

I find most of the stuff has been balanced pretty well. There are a few tweaks I'd personally make while running it in any of my campaigns, but overall there is little to no need for this.

Lots of good subclasses for every class, which I don't see very often. It's nice being able to try different combos and see what works well and what doesn't. I would love to have a hard copy of this book, in all color! But I can only hope for now.

I'm giving this a 5 star review, cause I think this book is good in any Dungeon Masters collection.

Minor grammatical errors and typos barred, this book is abolutely incredible. I haven't yet read through the whole thing, but the new playable races are unique and thought out in wonderful detail. The subclasses have great flavor and are pretty balanced, and the new class - though perhaps a little more complicated than it needs to be - is very well thought out.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make dragons a more pervasive part of their campaign world.

My god is this book a pleasure. I had originally purchased it expecting lots of new dragons but instead was provided the pleasant surprise of finding a new subclass for all of the official classes, new age brackets for dragons, and plenty of great feats for customizing your dragon encounters to add some flare.

I would consider this a must buy.

I think this book provides great player options, magic items, and dragon lore. I just wish there was more of it, don't by this book without knowing that there is only like 70 pages of content and 150 pages of stat blocks. But overall a great purchase that inspires plenty of new characters and adds bunches of dragon themed flavor to any dnd world.
