    I can already imagine how a dnd campaign with a Copper Dragon would go:
    - Need strong magical item
    - Hear a nearby metallic dragon has it
    - Metallic means nice equals possibility of trade
    - Meet dragon, gain quest instead
    - Go on an arduous journey
    - Near the end meet a dude who researches dragons
    - Hear him mention about copper dragons' tendency to fuck with people
    - See as the realization slowly hits the players faces

      @FanOfMostEverything 5 лет назад +828

      And then, to make sure the players don't kill you, have the researcher turn out to be the dragon. After all, he's going to want to be able to see their faces.

Like it loves the stuff so much it created a museum no one would ever go to because the stuff and the people it belonged to deserve it.

    So basically if one wanted to make you really uncomfortable they could touch your face with the tentacle beard.

    The thing is that all of them are attached to a counterpart (goldies to reds, bronze to blues, etc. Except for brass and greens, I have a story for that), so all of them are hydra-like gods with the worst case of bipolarity (except for brass and poison, they're like divorced)
