3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 13 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Races of the Dragon is as disappointing as the other books in the 'Races of' series. It introduces two new races:

-Dragonborn, a race that you become rather than being born as. You don't become this race in any fancy way, you just heed the call of Bahamut, follow a silly ritual (you put yourself in a big egg) and...tadaaa! you are a dragonborn! The design of the race is thoughtless (you get -2 on Dex because you are not accostumed to your new form, but +2 to AC vs other dragons).

-Spellscales, the offspring of two sorcerers (that are supposed to have dragon blood). They meditate on a certain draconic deity to get certain bonuses or use of certain metamagic feats. Nice, but fits better clerics, not the offspring of two sorcerer, as they wouldn't normally teach their children to worship gods.

Other than that there is lots of talking on dragon descended races such as Draconic, Half Dragons (with the worst artwork ever), Kobolds (quite interesting section on them). Just a couple of nice prestige classes (the Dragonheart is especially good). Some feats are good, others are just...not worth mentioning.

Overall it is just not an essential purchase, as it adds very little in terms of game mechanics. But if you enjoy forking out the money for lots of psychology of... and some horrid artwork (especially half-dragons, that look like aquatic mermoids or something) go and get it. Otherwise, don't bother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Specialised, but good., 17 Aug 2006
races of the dragon is dedicated to the player who wants to put a little draconic twist into their characters.

the new races are dragonborn, who are basically anthro dragon paladins against tiamat, and the spellscales who are sorcerers with short attention spans and free metamagic feats. the book also expands on the psychology and sociology of kobolds and half-dragons.

the new feats are all based on granting characters draconic skills, but since most can only be taken during character creation, arent as accessable as i would like. the prestige classes are all quite interesting, although they seem to be mainly focused towards arcane spellcasting, and the artwork is fairly good throughout.

as you would expect, if draconic characters don't interest you, this book will seem like a waste of money. but then this is basically half way between the players handbook, and the draconomicon. i personally have had a lot of fun using it, and anyone who prefers the dragons to the dungeons will too!
