Check out the full design of Dungeons & Dragons' new gold dragon.
Dungeons & Dragons is revamping all of its dragons in 2024, and that includes a stunning new rendition of the gold dragon. Last week, Dungeons & Dragons fans got a first look at the new gold dragon that will appear in the 2024 Core Rulebooks . The gold dragon appears on both versions of the 2024 Player's Handbook cover and is very different-looking than the gold dragon as it has appeared in Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks since the early 2000s. Now, ComicBook.
Herman explained that they wanted to give the dragons more personality while respecting previous designs from D&D's history. The Wizards team also wanted to differentiate how dragons in D&D differed from other fantasy settings."A newer player or a newer fan might not understand that a D&D dragon can talk," Herman said."They're intelligent, they can cast spells. They have motives.
In 1st and 2nd edition, the gold dragon had a serpentine form, but assumed a more"Welsh dragon" looking form starting in 3rd edition. The 2024 redesign blends together both designs, with a long, almost streamer-like tail and frills that eventually form wings near the front of its body. The decision to give the serpentine dragon wings was made to respect more recent designs and keep the gold dragon from feeling too different.
Herman also said that the wing change was to help make it clear that as a magical dragon, it doesn't really need wings to fly."The wing change was really to give it a little bit of something extra, but also hopefully make it clear that they don't need their wings to fly all the time," Herman said."That actually came from the stats...the Charisma modifier of an ancient gold dragon is like a 28.
