With a cover by Todd Lockwood and interior art from 22 artists, this book provides players with rules, tactics, dragon-fighting advice and sample monsters for everything draconic.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDragon Physiology.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually, \"Inside the Dragon's Eye\" is a poetic label for a dungeon; not in this case. It's a rare book that has a section labeled \"Major Internal Organs.\" The \u003cem\u003eDraconomicon\u003c\/em\u003e starts by walking through the physical makeup of a dragon, from eyesight to cut-away views to breath weapon. Dragon aging and lifespans leads into a discussion of dragon senses and movement. Even the question \"Why do dragons hoard treasure?\" gets addressed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTremendous Detail.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Each of the traditional dragon types are discussed in depth. Size and weight, personality, appearance, sensory identifiers, and habits are all laid out. I think what's surprising is that this makes for remarkably entertaining reading. It would have been easy for this text to become dry and pedantic, and it's a sign of good design and editing that this was avoided. An appendix even includes sample dragon hoards that are loaded down with plot hooks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSorry about That, Players.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e The DM section of the books discusses how to integrate dragons into your campaign as something other than just brute monsters. Advice on running a dragon encounter combines practical advice with new rules to confound and bedevil heroes. New draconic feats, spells, prestige classes and magic items help shake the expectations of any player who has memorized the \u003cem\u003eMonster Manual.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSomething for the Players.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e If the book tells dragons how to kill players, it returns the favor in Chapter 3. Player tactics are presented alongside new feats, spells, prestige classes (albeit very specific ones), and magic items. This chapter also includes a section for including dragons in the party, either as player characters or as mounts.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAs an editorial aside, I'll mention that my game group in 1982 \u003cem\u003ereally\u003c\/em\u003e needed these rules after we tracked down and killed Tiamat.
