The Codex Draconis series collects within it's pages the statblocks detailing the CR levels for the five basic chromatic dragons. There's the short answer I give folks when they ask me what this series is. I then proceed by explaining that the books, this one being no exception, also go into great detail pertaining to an individual hoard for not only each CR level, but for the three different speeds of advancement as well. And lets be clear here, by individual hoard I don't mean x amount of gold, x amount of art, oh no, here we see detail such as the below hoard, taken straight from a fast advancement, lower level White Dragon:

(2,400 gp): climber's kit (80gp), masterwork armored coat (200gp), silver comb with moonstones (200gp), cold iron masterwork battleaxe with a large black pearl in the haft (1020gp), wand of detect magic (375gp), 5 blue sapphires (50gp, 35gp, 25gp, 20gp, 15gp), 376gp, 30sp, 100cp.

You will notice that not only does a hoard entry detail the usual (coin count, armor, weapon), but the individual gemstone value is given, not some average. The weapon is detailed as to give it more of a reason the dragon would of taken it in the first place, turning it back into a piece of treasure instead of a random weapon. The addition of the comb I absolutely loved, to have items within hoards that are not weapons/armor or simply generic coins/gems is an excellent touch, and reminds us these creatures collect their hoards based on different values then humanity would per say. The wand I am on the fence about though. I see the need for at least one magical item, and in all fairness it is a fabulous item to hand over to a lower level group without having to give them too much power, but, I would have loved to have seen the item get a little more personal attention as per the axe or comb perhaps.

As well as detailing hoards, and giving lair options for each age range throughout the dragon's life, this handy tome also explores the concept of minions and allies. Going into the theories of not only what might a white dragon ally itself with, but why, and how. Practically every CR is presented with the concept of running an encounter as Dragon+ detailing several options ranging from kobold tribes to frost giants, human conspirators, elementals and golems. There is enough crunch in the concept of what would ally with a white dragon to satisfy practically anyone.

We are also presented with the variable build concepts, the more specific or specialized dragon throughout the entire CR progression, from the hit and run strategist, to the insane fire magic wielding white dragon (yes, you read that write). Every one of these options further allowing for the ease of tweaking your beast just enough to keep your players on their toes when facing your frozen scaly nightmare.

The artwork is all B&W except for the cover (which is one of the more interesting interpretations of the white dragon in my opinion), and ranges from ok to fabulous. The formatting and editing are all solid, I didn't see any mistakes, spelling or otherwise.

Overall, this book would make a solid addition to a GM's toolbox, and is well worth the money. I give it 5 stars.

Closing thoughts. The art work is black and white and ranges from meh to pretty good. This is so far likely the best art of the series. Editing and layout where good. I didn't notice any obvious errors. As I have mentioned before I am not a huge number cruncher. I didn't notice any stat block errors though but I freely admit I am not great at spotting them. I am more if it looks right and looks like it will play well I just go with it. The hoards are all well done with a few interesting items, such as fur lined shoes of some value and such. I like things like that personally. I really could find not fault with this one. I would have liked there to have been more advice on tactics for the dragons though, to help out newer GM's where the more likely people to want this product. Even just a paragraph or two would have been nice. So what's my rating? Well it gives exactly what it claims it gives and I couldn't find any flaws so I am giving it a 5 star review.

Trust me, I'm a Succubus.
