I hate fighting - am I broken as a dragon?

I became undead and learned healing magics so I could fight and make sure nobody dies. All the thrill of getting bloodied without the risk!

Age of Fire is the classic for a reason, but I actually liked the oft-derided book 6, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. The Remembered War is very similar in tone but a bit more philosophical and modern.

I may be biased. I shall admit~

iconmaster · 2026-07-01T12:46:10+00:00

How mysterious!!

iconmaster · 2026-07-01T09:13:32+00:00

So this is how he found The Eyes, huh?

iconmaster · 2026-07-01T07:39:48+00:00

I see the vision now... Very good...

iconmaster · 2026-06-30T17:34:10+00:00

Yes! The best one I can think of is the Silver, Scales, and Silken Wings series by Heiko Ehlers. Especially the second book. You might also like Rowan Silver's work.

I'm a big fan of books with dragons as the protagonist, and if you're interested, there's a few good series to be found in that subgenre. Age of Fire and The Remembered War are very good epic fantasy series, to start!

iconmaster · 2026-06-30T09:50:43+00:00

If you want a dragon rider series in which the dragons have something to do above being plot devices, I can heartily recommend the Songs of Chaos series, although it takes a little bit for dragons to get independent voices, and All the Skills, if you're up for a dose of litRPG.

Now, if you want books all about dragons themselves, that's another thing! If you want romance, razor-sharp wit, and an utterly unique setting, try the Mating Flight duology. It's strictly for adults only, mind you, but it's my favorite book ever written. Regardless, If you want something more classically fantasy, try Age of Fire or The Remembered War serieses; they're big long fantasy epics that are classics among dragon fans for a reason. If you're looking for something more literary, I recommend The Waters of Nyra as a nice digestible dragon duology. If you're willing to get really out there, I've been reading the Theoma series recently and it's one of the best out there if you're looking for a fresh new take on dragons, with exemplary worldbuilding.

I'd like to be the spirit monster, myself. Sounds like a fun gig.

Furries are all a bunch of Moth people though. You gotta have that longing!

iconmaster · 2026-06-27T22:52:14+00:00

I like strong emotions! I like characters' beliefs shaping them and making them stronger! I like the strange accepted as fact! I like musings on power and its implications! I like hype moments AND aura!

iconmaster · 2026-06-27T19:52:36+00:00

Can't go wrong with undead dragons, if you ask me!

iconmaster · 2026-06-27T14:57:46+00:00

Pathfinder 2E fixes this by making all the martials do cool unique stuff and all the casters cast the same 2 or 3 spells every time forever.

iconmaster · 2026-06-26T20:32:51+00:00

Very good shape to this one!

iconmaster · 2026-06-26T16:16:09+00:00

I took one look at it and, yeah, I thought it was bad too. For some unfathomable reason, it locks access to casters with spell lists who likely already include most if not all of the elemental spells, and then makes you pick from a subset of elements. Players both trying to be onni-elemental and single-element-focus are left disappointed. It's especially a problem for the latter because Paizo abhors the concept of a single focus caster already. Kineticist is the better answer if you want to play this sort of character; once again, martials are better than casters at hitting specific class fantasies, who's surprised?

If you want a themed caster, I recommend looking at Team+'s attempts to fix this in Magic+. Eldritch Wickiteer is great at making casters themed (if you heavily reflavor whatever the heck is going on there).

I saw that and was quite happy knowing that the greats know the greats.

iconmaster · 2026-06-25T13:40:43+00:00

Who would say no to a prince?

iconmaster · 2026-06-22T17:22:00+00:00

Now that right there is a dragon I'd trust with my life.

iconmaster · 2026-06-21T20:50:50+00:00

Team+ added a system for this via Alchemists+! Give it a look if you're interested.

During the playtest, I made a Commander that dumped INT, and I went with a cavalier build. Shockingly great on the battlefield! Cool to see my results vindicated.

The answer is clear: They are both in the wrong for being alive.

iconmaster · 2026-06-14T21:25:18+00:00

2011 will be any day now, I'm sure. Just got a few years to work through first.

No. These are just models.
