The Power of Dragons Is Yours

Few creatures inspire greater awe than dragons, and Pathfinder Player Companion: Legacy of Dragons dives into the ripples left in these mighty creatures' wake. Whether they help or harm, dragons make a lasting impression, from the legends and philosophies they inspire to the bloodlines they foster.

Inside this book you'll find:

  • New archetypes ranging from the dragonheir scion to the wyrmwitch, allowing players to access draconic appearances as well as lore, powers, and spells.
  • Ways for characters to enlist drakes and lesser dragons to serve as allies, improved familiars, and even flying mounts.
  • New draconic bloodlines for bloodragers and sorcerers, allowing eldritch abilities based on esoteric, imperial, outer, and primal dragons.

This Pathfinder Player Companion is intended for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, but can be easily incorporated into any fantasy world.

Packed with good options for your use

5/5

I enjoyed this book (I got the print edition). It offers good options for use for a player with a dragon bloodline. And I don't mean just the sorcerer bloodlines, although they are in there too. There are options and archetypes for your use. Well worth the price.


Fluff good, not much else is.

2/5

I wanted to like this book. I really, really, really did. The fluff is great, and the 'premise' of the archetypes and drakes are nice.

But.

Both the archetypes, and the drake companions themselves, have some of the worst balancing I have seen in pathfinder. An example of this is the druid, who replaces an animal companion with a drake companion. The drake is actually weaker then alot of normal animal companion choices, and to take the archetype actually removes six of his core abilities just for the drake part of the archetype, never mind the additional abilities changed for the other parts of the archetype.

I really hope at some point paizo revisits the idea of these drake archetypes and companions and does a tremendous re-balancing, as many of these archetypes feel almost unplayable with how bad they can gimp a character.


The new Dragon-themed options are BAD

1/5

I picked up this book excited to create my new "Dragon" themed character and all the options were very weak. Also, throughout the book there were sentences repeated over and over again. I waited months for this issue and I'm completely disappointed. It's the worst Player Companion I've ever read.


Some bad, some good. Sorta meh

2/5

This book has a few good ideas and some great flavor text.

It falls short on the mechanics side though, especially with the archetypes that involve drakes. The cavalier archetype that gets a drake is the worst, and is so bad, I think the writer(s) who made it have never played a cavalier before, it just guts the class.

There are some glaring typos in the book, like a certain fighter archetype replacing a bonus feat at a level that the fighter does not get a bonus feat on.

This book could have been, dare I say SHOULD have been, so much more.


Great Flavor, Great Options

5/5

While I usually like some sections of the player companion line, I very rarely like all of them. This is the rare exception. Excellent character options, monsters, and spells throughout.

Hmm... for all the call for azi updates and new linnorms and other GM-oriented material I'm seeing here... maybe a 64 page "Inner Sea Dragon Bestiary" might have some traction...

hmmmmmmmm...


YES!!!

Would be calling a Convocation, and I'm sure that dragon from all places and species, even black dragons and Daralathyxl himself, would come, peacefully, to watch the this majestic release... Ok, not so sure about the "peacefully" part... But I'm sure it would have more than just some traction.

Still very excited about this release! Can't wait for the bloodlienes!

I for one would definitely be interested in that. Anything that would flush out dragons inGolarion would be very, very appreciated.

Looking forward to this but I am wondering if there will be an update to the People of the Stars trait that allows the space dragons to be progenetors of the bloodline. Is taking a trait worth it for IIRC more flavor than anything?

If you and your table have more fun with it, yes ;-)

How do you know that? I couldn't find Legacy of Dragons in the release schedule that I found.

Is there an option for Jabberwock-bloodline sorcerers/Bloodragers?

I'm asking for a friend.

August 4th through the 7th I believe.


573 posts, I wonder how many we will have by the time this books starts shipping to subscribers.


Or shipping to one time buyers who are waffling on subscribing. Like myself.


Or the poor devils who try to get it on Amazon.com.


Esoteric, Imperial, Outer, and Primal dragons Oh my.

Yes, or a Golarian/Pathfinder version of the Draconomicon, titled something else of course.

Just to check, am I only one who would be interested in stuff about dragons that aren't about "Five category pallette swaps of each other, multiple age groups!" class dragons?

Like, there are a lot of other cool dragons, but everyone wants new multiple member group dragons for some reason <_<

I am interested in all dragons...except chromatic and umbral. Though this is a players companion book so It will be dragon themed stuff for players.


I love anything that has to do with dragons!

I'm really hoping that these new Draconic Bloodlines will be compatible with Dragon Disciple without requiring an archetype like the Linnorm Bloodline does. I'd love to build a Blood Arcanist with an Umbral Draconic Bloodline.

Well, that just made me think of a very interesting death curse for a future linnorm type. {fans self}

The Linnorm Bloodline requires that you be a Wildblooded Sorcerer. So it isn't available to other classes like Blood Arcanist. Plus it takes away Claws so you lose the DD Bite. I'm hoping the new Draconic Bloodlines simply add more choices to the list for the standard Draconic Bloodline.

His love for Linnorm dwarves both Sincubus' "More Mythical Monsters in Bestiaries please!" and Captain Yesterday's "GALT!" combined.

I just realized that a Questioner Investigator qualifies for Dragon Disciple! I've always wanted an Int-based "Bard" to try that with.

Ah. I missed the Arcanist part so I thought you meant there was currently an archetype out there that allowed a Linnorm Disciple or something :3

I personally hope they're completely new bloodlines, but there's a sidebar saying that they count as draconic for dragon disciple and get advanced by it. We shall just have to see, though.
