My stepdad used to play D&D a looot back in the day, and he still has the original Advanced D&D Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, Monster Manual and Fiend Folio. Those things were like heroin to 12-year-old me. But I digress.
This video reminded me of a story he told me about a campaign he and his college buddies once did, and almost everything you mentioned in this video was something that happened in that campaign.
PC’s (LG Paladin and Cleric, LN Wizard, CG Bard, Barbarian and Rogue) were approached by a representative of a local baron, who’d heard of their previous exploits and wanted to hire them for a job: For the past 10 years, the baron’s lands were being attacked almost constantly by Lizardfolk from the neighboring marshlands, even though they had actually traded with and allowed safe passage for the baron’s people for decades previously. Additionally, the marshes had gradually become brackish, all the trees had withered and died and the whole marsh gave off a foul stench. The Baron was worried that if this continued, his people would either all be slain by the Lizardfolk or die from disease and starvation, because the marsh was actually expanding out into the surrounding lands and ruining all the farmland.
PC’s agree to investigate, found one Lizardman with serious injuries staggering out of the marsh, Cleric heals him (after Rogue shot the poor guy in the arm due to itchy trigger finger) and Lizardman becomes Lizardbro. Lizardbro explains things. 10 years back, a Black Dragon came to their lands and attacked their tribes; tribes all united to try and fight it off, but once the full Lizardfolk army was gathered to storm its lair, it just mentally dominated them all while they were in the same general area and basically set itself up as their new god...a new god that wanted them to go kill the humans and also occasionally feed it their females and children because FOR TEH EVULZ. And it would sometimes un-dominate them juuust long enough for them all to realize what they’d done and feel utter anguish & despair. Because again FOR TEH EVULZ. Lizardbro was un-dominated so the BD could “savor his delicious agony” while the BD ate Lizardbro’s mate in front of him. Lizardbro RAGED and tried to kill BD/save his bae, but got rekt. Hard. Then dumped in pool to “pickle”. BD didn’t realize Lizardbro was just comatose tho, so LB was able to escape after managing to not die and wake up. Then limped out of the marsh, praying to Lizardfolk’s old gods to prove they still cared about his people by delivering him some way to get revenge and free the tribes.
PC’s all get mighty pissed and agree to help (Barbarian even swore a blood oath with Lizardbro that they would “feast on the monster’s foul heart or feast with the Gods”), and after 6 more sessions, they’ve finally almost defeated the BD. Wizard, Cleric and Bard are all comatose from wounds, Rogue is practically crippled and Barbarian, Paladin and Lizardbro are all on their last legs, but the BD is in even worse shape...or so it seems. Lizardbro and Barbarian charge in to finish it off, but it’s been faking it and pimp-slaps Barbarian into a rock head-first before mauling Lizardbro. And then begins gloating at the Paladin for being such a foolish do-gooder, evil evil evil, I’m such a dick, blah blah.
Now, Paladin follows a homebrewed god. This god is what you get if you gave Ares the motivations, attitude, mannerisms and voice of Optimus Prime. Basically a god of “strong exist to protect those who can’t protect themselves” with “honorable combat” thrown in as well. Paladin has been following this god for the past 20 years. He was originally a mercenary and kind of a bastard, party’s Cleric beat 14 kinds of shit out of him for attempting to “have his way with” a peasant girl, then Cleric carried him back to local monastery and nursed him back to health while gradually getting him to convert. By present day, Paladin has basically devoted the rest of his life to fighting all injustice and wickedness to make amends for the things he did in his merc days. He lives to aid those in need, and has done so for almost half the time he’s been alive, as it’s the only way he believes he might redeem himself in the eyes of his God.
And this Black Dragon, the most revoltingly sadistic *thing* he’s ever seen, is now monologing at him. After preying on those weaker than itself, ruining hundreds of lives for its own sick amusement, almost killing Paladin’s friends and allies of several in-game years (including his bro4life the Cleric), this thing has THE FUCKING NERVE to insult Paladin’s beliefs to his face.
Paladin attempts to call in a favor from his God: critical success. His god gives him such a massive power boost that he pretty much solos the BD; he shatters 2 of its legs and cracks some ribs with his warhammer, BD attempts to escape by flying away, and Paladin straight-up THROWS warhammer. Again, critical success: the big hunk of solid steel impacts the BD’s wing at the “elbow” joint, breaking it and sending it crashing to the ground.
And at this point, the BD does a complete 180: it starts begging the Paladin to spare him, sizzling drops of acid tears running down its face as it realizes just how bad it’s fucked up. Paladin ignores this, calmly goes and collects hammer, then finally comes back over to the crippled dragon.
With his God’s divine light shining from his eyes and his God’s voice booming from his mouth, he finally addresses the BD in a damn near perfect Optimus Prime impression:
“YOU, WHO ARE WITHOUT MERCY, NOW PLEAD FOR IT? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MADE OF STERNER STUFF.”
Then he drives the pick-end of his warhammer clean through the BD’s eye and into its brain, killing it.
My stepdad’s old D&D books might have led me to being interested in the game, but that story was what truly made me ask for the 3.5 rulebooks for my 15th birthday. So much win.

I came across a question on D&D Beoyond forums: What is the value of dragon scales in the forgotten realms?
I feel like this question would be appropriate for this series.

[@TheKidnappedOne]

The biggest thing that comes to mind is Dragon Scale Mail this is from the free basic rules:
"Dragon scale mail is made of the scales of one kind of dragon. Sometimes dragons collect their cast-off scales and gift them to humanoids. Other times, hunters carefully skin and preserve the hide of a dead dragon. In either case, dragon scale mail is highly valued.
While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, you have advantage on saving throws against the Frightful Presence and breath weapons of dragons, and you have resistance to one damage type that is determined by the kind of a dragon that provided the scales (see the table).
Additionally, you can focus your senses as an action to magically discern the distance and direction to the closest dragon of the type of armor within 30 miles of you. This special action can't be used again until the next dawn."
Beyond this, not much other than potential homebrew things like perhaps alchemical powders.
I suppose a large enough scale could be fashioned into a shield.

@@sanddry738 Exactly it was The Fall of Myth Drannor, ADnD 2ed, 1998. One of my favorites.

When it was casted, it was simple not-thinkable, nearly stated as impossible to raise a red dragon to change it nature into good.
Sadly City of Songs had not only metalic dragons as protectors, but also has a very potent archmages... One of them did the impossible - raised the red dragon into adulthood (I don't remember which level if it was adult or older enough) as a good creature.
I don't also remember if it was special purpose why he flew on this dragon over the Coronals towers in that particular night. But by doing this the prison lock started to corrupt, and one of the Yugoloth was able to summon help (lesser daemons-yougoloths) to break him out. And... no, it was no matter of days. It took years (if I remember it correctly even 100years) to completely break free all of the Trio, gather the army, and wage a war against MythDrannor and forced it to fall.

A slight correction. To pickle something is to stop the growth if bacteria thus preserving the food. When one leaves a dead corpse in dirty swamp water crawling with bacteria, but possibly lacking oxygen the black dragon is most likely fermenting its food first. Like making sour krout.

Dragons can have a certain sway in their respective colour of dragonborn but I think that comes down to the DM more than anything.

[@WolforNuva]

Depends if the DM considers draconic beings reptiles.
The monster manual describes dragons as reptiles, but I tend to think of and treat dragons as a distinct animal kingdom due to the differences in their biology.
Perhaps they still have some influence over draconic creatures, but it's not as strong as with true reptiles, and it certainly wouldn't extend to true dragons.
As Julie says, it comes down to the DM and how they view the game world.

[@Bersilus]

Dragonborn not from the same planet

[@Iguana5k]

I think if a black dragon could controld dragonborn it would also be able to control younger dragons of other types.

Let this video be a reminder of how impossibly miraculous it is for Onyxia to exist. Not unsurprisingly, it cost a LOT of time, in-game money, and other things for the player.
For context of who I’m talking about, watch this. It comes in 3 parts.

I just realized that I had a 1ST ED DnD book.
I've never played and can't remember where it came from, but I've had it since I was a kid. Nobody I know plays the game either.

A fun campaign could be to slay a Black Dragon and Green Dragon power couple.

in the lore for the Vast Swamp there is a specific clan of Lizardfolk that hunted black dragons for generations. They did eventually get took over by a black dragon but after a great battle.

You should do a video on shadow dragons

in my friends 3.5/pathfinder homebrew (where alignment is mostly passive ) my character is a Black dragon Geomancer who is very atypical( though he chugs poisons and acids like any normal person chugs beer) and really really hates being the related to the current king of chromatics.

Really interesting video as always. Also, really like the music - it reminds me of Brian Eno, if you are familiar with him? good stuff man, have a good day.
