Can I get a quick and easy color breakdown on dragon colors, the associated element and alignment please?
I'm considering playing a dragonborn draconic sorcerer, and I know "doubling up" on the same element is a trap.
Thank you.

You did manage to ninja me though, despite my best efforts. Formatting tables just takes too damn long!

I never noticed that there are no metallic dragons spitting poison, and two of them breath fire. The perfect symmetry is broken! That's it, I'm quitting D&D.

In 2nd Edition at least, most of the Metallic Dragons had two breath weapons, and the second was usually a gas of some sort. Don't know when they lost that particularity, but that's why.

They still have that second breath weapon. Gold has fire and weakening breath. I think poison might be too evil?

Yeah that's why I think there aren't good poison dragons. I think it's kinda silly though because acid seems more evil to me personally. I mean there are plants that are poisonous and they aren't considered evil.
