    Default [3.5]Races of the Dragon or Dragon Magic

    I'm currently DMing a dragon focused campaign, and I was wondering which book I should get, Races of the Dragon or Dragon Magic. I already have the Draconomicon. I'll probably get both eventually, but I can only afford one right now. Any advice is appreciated.

    Races of dragons, it'll give your players more build options and such. Though definetly get dragon magic eventually. It has some awsome spells.

    Personally I prefer Races of the Dragon to Dragon Magic. The latter, to me, is just a bunch of new feats, PrCs and spells. The former, on the other hand, actually has some stuff you can sink your teeth into and get some ideas out of.
    I apologise if I come across daft. I'm a bit like that. I also like a good argument, so please don't take offence if I'm somewhat...forthright.

    Please be aware; when it comes to 5ed D&D, I own Core (1st printing) and SCAG only. All my opinions and rulings are based solely on those, unless otherwise stated. I reserve the right of ignorance of errata or any other source.

    Dragon Magic does have the DFA base class.



    Races of the Dragon has Grafts. For a mid to high level character, those will be your best friend.

    http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x...060912a&page=2 contains pretty much everything you need to use Dragonfire Adepts if you were thinking of getting DM for that class.

    Except equivalent spell levels (and therefore Save DCs) for their Invocations.

    Dragon Magic really helps sorcerers and bards, as well as a bit for favored souls and is worth eventually getting. Races of the dragon is more useful initially though.
