The bane of the introverts

Annoying self-centered minuscule talk

Now you tell me

So.. how you been? How's you mom?

Thank you for that desert encounter idea

"I love interesting characters myself, one time I met a pirate captain from Fildenskarn. Have you all been to Fildenskarn? It's a wonderful place, according to the captain that is. As for me I don't know whether it's a wonderful place or a dreadful place, though judging by the fact that the captain was a murderer who tried to attack me while I was talking I gather it was perhaps not. Not that you folks would ever seek to do something like that. You're too nice! And besides the sandstorm will be raging for quite a while yet. Nasty businesses sandstorms, but it is a pleasant thing to be inside the Great Hall of Conversation while the wind wails away at rock and dirt, if I do say so myself. I do! Hahaha! Anyways how are your respective evenings going? Mine is going swimmingly thanks for asking! Not that I've ever swum anywhere before, no water out here! Swum? Swam? I'm quite at a loss. No, I'm quite sure it's swam. I would love to learn your names! My name is Tulgither the Short Winded! I know! I'm known for being quite succinct amongst the nomads of the desert! They told me so when I asked! Not that you'll ever tell me anything when I ask! You're all quite asleep at this point! In any case! I was wanting to tell you all about the time I was stung by a bermethean scorpion, nasty creatures scorpions..."

"Hey, you. You're finally awake. Fell right into that imperial ambush."

"Stand up... there you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?"

…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. I’m Tulgither the Short-Winded, as I’ve said. What are your 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.

Well their treasure horde is an actual art gallery that they might show you and discus in great detail for hours upon hours. 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, employing legitimate city 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.

AIWARAS619 Silver dragons are pretty chill too.

@@AIWARAS619 That would be a cute concept. Especially if the primary residences were various Dragonborn. You could probably set up a campaign where there's various cities run by dragons and they all get jealous of the bronze city because it has a thriving economy which furthers the arts and sciences, whereas the other ones are poor and in disarray. Make a really friendly, if not slightly obnoxious in a lovable way, dragon king that everybody ends up wanting to protect.

AIWARAS619 I have done this before as a leader for an adventurers guild, only the top ranking officials of the guild were aware that the Guild Master was actually an adult Brass Dragon. The players of mine didn’t find out until the leader was kidnapped at one point and they went to go save him.

@Siggesatan Get...the comfy pillows!

exxor9108 hehehe

We did meet one in our campaign. He's now our Pet and helps us defend our town

**insert megalovania**

Love it😆. How about sober he's fine even excellent company, but drunk he's flippin ANNOYING 😆

Half-dragon, not dragonborn

Can you imagine attacking a metallic dragon by mistaking it for a chromatic? Not only would you have a giant wizard fighter jet angry at your party but also probably people who like the dragon

@@Overlord99762 A wise enough metallic dragon would probably accept a sincere apology, but never ever let you forget your mistake. If it didn't kill you before that.

@@litchqueenasenath5995 >I could forgive your impertinent actions and accept your apology, human...however *sounds of Draconic violence*

CompletelyNewguy damm, now I want to run a campaign set in modern era with a huge castle full of art where the throne is occupied by a brass dragon in human form just checking all social media apps on their phone and computers 😂

They’ll probably have a Tinder account as well xDDDDDD

@@ouroboros_1355 Imagine one of the main character gets a ping from the dragon, God that would be funny AF.

Jonathon Goodrich that’d be really funny, although I doubt he admits he’s a dragon there 😂 he probably never even meet the matches, he just chats with them 😂

@@ouroboros_1355 It would be funnier if they stayed in their dragon form, really carefully pressing the little buttons with their giant claws while a pile of broken labtops and scratched phones lay besides them.

Well hey. World will be a better place with a few less murder hobos running amok. So that dragon's a downright hero in my books.

Except if you are Jamon Sa-Hord.

And use bronze or gold, if you want to exicute murder-hobos.

Honestly, I was planning on putting a brass dragon in my campaign BEFORE learning this juicy detail.

@Siggesatan They can't kill themselves if the Dragon has them stuck in Sand.

You might like gem dragons

I'd like to recommend Draconomicon 2 for D&D 4th Edition and Dragons Revisited for D&D 3rd Edition (published by Paizo before Pathfinder RPG came out), both of them have sections on all of the metallic dragons. The game rules are different but you can port all of the lore over to your 5E game.

i also suggest the books: a practical guide to riding dragons & a practical guide to dragons!! SO GOOD!

Since they are compared to bards, playboy brass dragon. THIS WILL BE USED.

basically that assholes vain character who is sitll a good guy in the end.

How about giving them a DJ personality? :D

Would they be thots on IG/Twitch in today's age?

Only in DnD XD

Ditto

RIGHT?!?!?! God I missed playing those games!!! 😁 Nice to see a fellow fan of those games.

Those games were my childhood I had every single one and played them non stop!

explains why my girlfriend wants to be one in my campaign

Clerics are in a way connected to the dark, unlike wizards who are connected to arcane. At least it's true for most universe

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.

But then again lich

@@AkihitoTysko Anyone can be a lich though. You can inflict it on unwilling participants, even other species. You could have a Bard lich or a Fighter lich as long as some magic users were involved. A Cleric Lich would be the pinnacle really.

Diditallforthexp I believe it states only a wizard could and at least player wise they have to be at least level 17 and all the items for the ritual.

A Brass dragon running a retirement home for all the old folks that do not have any family to take care of them.

@@AIWARAS619 "Look at my collection of old people! I make sure to dress them fancy each and everyday. Not only do they look great, but they love it!" It honestly sounds super wholesome but I think having staff on hand would be needed. Also the dragon will always have people to chat with so it works out so well.

@Ian Robertson I wanted to,didnt really get the chance,but soon I might play gloomhaven

It's like fantasy animal planet

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Depending on setting, they are at war.

Aren't chromatic and metallic dragons basically genetically hard wired to hate each other?

@@theomnissiah-9120 who knows? personally i kinda hate the allignment system for dnd. often times evil is more environmental than genetic. true you can have a person grow up being a sociopath with major issues with their aiblity ot emphasize. but if they are not in a society that can drive desperation or make such acts applicable and even easier, they won't go with it. so it would make sense that even if say a black dragon is predisposed to be malicious to enemies and others, that could not have exceptions. like it is raised by a king and it seeks only the ruination of everything else around that king's city.

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?

Did you ever find the stats for that particular attack?

better version: you're laughing with copper dragons. you're laughing at brass dragons.

Eh, I dont know. Id be pretty pissed if a copper told me the legendary gamer girl bathwater was located in *generic dangerous dungeon* and after almost dying 12 times and finding 2 copper coins only to have him greet me at the door with the gamer girl bathwater explaining he had it the whole time and i just got epic pranked. I wouldn't laugh forreal honestly, I mean I guess I'd have to laugh because he is still a dragon and Coppers tend to get upset when you tell them their epic pranks are dumb and not funny.

Naturally. Though I'd imagine there's a bit of leeway there in favor of the blue as well. Blues are much stronger, have better breath weapons, have superior lairs, and are physically tougher. Not to mention Brasses being cowards. I'd say a Young Blue could probably take an Adult Brass on its own. (Were the Brass somehow inclined to fight or cornered) Though the likelihood of that happening and the Brass not just running away and gathering allies to gang up on the Blue is really low.

@@dissolution9843 I can see how most of this is relevant, however, I dunno what lair actions has to do with it, unless they fight in the lair ofc. If the brass is cornered it is likely not in the lair of the blue, right? So those LA:s should not matter in that case. The rest I can see as relevant though :) Even though I think CR points in a different direction :) (Granted, CR can be really misleading).

@@magnusflodberg6162 Right, the main thing I see occurring is if a Brass tries to go after a Blue in it's underground lair. The Blue collapses sand tunnels behind it and it's cornered. One of the things Blues do best. Of course Brasses have a certain amount of earth altering magic they can perform, but if they're deep and have a lot of sand to deal with not to mention the Blue and it's minions, I see that fight going in favor of the blue. But like I said, what horrifying thing had to have happened to make a Brass follow a Blue into its lair is beyond me.

Put a retirement home near it's lair, see who tires out first.

sounds like a wonderful party set-up: a group of dragon helper agents tasked with different "Dragon-Client of the week" for every session

Nah! That's just a mamono brass dragon talking with another brass dragon. :P Or alternatively, it's a mother brass dragon chatting with her half-dragon daughter. ^^

Sounds like a fun character. I like getting creative with dragons as part of civilizations and Currently my bard/warlock thinks they’re devoted to a music agent pit fiend pretending to be a curiosity shop owner, but really that pit fiend is a brass dragon and the sword he granted him is a sentient weapon mimicking the effects of a hex blade. It’s the kind of double layer long con I imagine a brass would run to trick interesting adventurers coming back to tell him tales while keeping soon to be warlocks from selling their souls. Hope he does copper soon but it sounds like you’re running it well already!

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.

Yea...
