Considerando que o livro não é um livro de mecânica sobre dragões, nem um tratado pseudo-cientifico e nem se prepõe a ser O livro definitivo sobre os dragões de Golarion, o livro é perfeito para o que realmente se propõe: revisar os conceitos sobre os dez principais tipos de dragão. Nessa exata função ele cumpre muito bem seu papel realmente criando uma personalidade funcional, utilizável e divertida para cada uma das raças. O livro é curto e grosso e um tanto apressado, mas o texto é divertido e não se torna massante apesar da repetitividade do que seria 10 monstros iguais. Se for isso mesmo o que você quer, pode comprar tranquilo, mas se forem feats, itens mágicos ou até mesmo a história completa dos dragões em Golarion, procure em outro lugar.

Honestly, its not a badly written book. Its not a bad looking book. But I'm not sure why you would need it. I'm not sure that the quirks that some dragons pick up (which are kind of fun in the case of black dragons, for example) make up for the status quo of most of the dragons.

There are tons of references to a greater draconic culture, but very few specifics. I'd love to have seen a bit more information on the religions of Apsu and Dahak, but what you actually get is references to the two that assume you have other source material on them.

Still, I'd probably have given this a solid three, if not for the things I think were the negatives in this book. There are places in this book where dragons are referenced as interacting with societies on as casual a level as elves or dwarves. It really makes them seem much less special and intimidating. Finally, the bit that really caused me to have fits with this book had to do with silver dragons. Essentially, silver dragons are the worst parody of every bad paladin stereotype ever.

Honestly, I'm hoping over time the good parts of this book make it into other books, and the rest just kind of fades away.

This suppliment really does what I want a suppliment to do; it stimulates my creativity. This is how to make dragons scary again. The example of the white dragon alone shows how to make a monster that will be beyond memorable, and possibly, a TPK.

Check out my full review Dragons Revisited

I've posted a detailed review on RPG Geek.

Now, admittedly, dragons aren't my favorite D&D critters, so I went in to this with hopes of simply something workable -- and I got pleasantly surprised. Much of this is due to the very new takes on these various dragons. It's hard to say what's best, but certainly the evil-yet-schlolarly greens (and their counterparts, the bronzes) were one of the bigger and better surprises.

It's a good book and it does a fine job of covering some of the most iconic creatures of Dungeons and Dragons.

I am totally behind Paizo's effort to apply what is, essentially, a fresh coat of paint to some classic monsters.

While there are no new RULES per se in this and other Chronicles 'monster' books, the content is superb and is greatly appreciated.

The joys of reading about noble Golds, viscious and sadistic Blacks and gregarious Coppers has put many smiles on both my face and that of my wife.

I'm champing at the bit to find out how much more incredible my encounters with dragonkind will be with this book in hand, and am already adapting a bit of its contents to my own characters of draconic descent.

Three cheers for Paizo for such wonderful fluff!

Really this book is on par with the Classic Monster Revisited. Although it is a fluff book as noted, which may turn off some people to the purchase.

Excellent inspiration source material.

Fun info to read.

Summary throughts:

It is important to note that this is a fluff book. Outside the sample dragons at the end of each section, the rest is fluff, which is done by design. The intent of the “Revisited’ series is to provide a new spin on classic creatures, which the emphasis on fluff rather than crunch. Upon reading through the write ups, I would say that Paizo has aligned most of the commonly held dragon themes together, and there are very few surprises contained inside. That is not to say that the write ups were predictable or unimaginative, but they captured commonly held canon, and expanded on these ideas a bit, with a Golarion theme woven throughout. Even if one is not using the Pathfinder’s universe, the book is still quite usable. By removing the crunch, Paizo has made the book usable for all editions of play, which I applaud them for. The content was very enjoyable to read through, and although most of the ideas were familiar to me, I still found them interesting and engaging. Perhaps my favorite write up was the crafty and manipulative blue dragon, which happens to be one of my favorite of the evil dragons.

To conclude, do we need another fluff book on dragons? No, probably not. However, Paizo has done a nice job in packaging this one, that I think will appeal to all the folks out there that just like dragons, which still seems to be a considerable number of folks. Do I think this one will sell well? Yes I do. It’s a nice book just to flip through, if you are just looking for some ideas on how to make a dragon interesting. While the Draconomicon maybe a more exhaustive tome, Paizo’s version is more of a reader’s digest version, and sometimes that is all one really needs anyway.
