D&D Icons of the Realms: Adult Time Dragon

[English Wizard]

A what now?

[Brophy]

yeah, no idea what book that stat block will be in.

[Kualan]

Hard to see with the current tiny preview image but looks like it has some impressive looking crest on its head?

[Mattnuke]

Most likely Planescape…

I had to do some looking. I guess these things were presented in the last issue of Dragon Magazine (359) as the ultimate dragon in 3.5.

Obviously it didn’t make too much of an impact on me, because while I had a subscription to the magazine at that time, I forgot this thing even existed.

Here’s some raw 3.5 stats…

Yup, CR 90, with 3712 HP, AC 91, and a BAB of +99. That’s why I forgot it. There was never any chance of this ending up in my game!

[Imbalance]

Akatosh?

[MyriadTabletop]

Any guesses on age? The wiki says that even Wyrmlings are Huge, lol.

In the Planescape book. They confirmed they will be putting Time Dragons into that.

[Guyra]

This is definitely a very cool dragon design!

Looks amazing. This is the first not-2E Dragon I am actually interested in.

It's on the cover of Planescape. :)But was also shown at GenCon.

You could still put higher CR creatures in your game, but as questgivers or a non-hostile obstacle. I mean most Metallic Dragons play these roles in most games, usually.

Well 5E will probably revamp them. I would not be surprised if maybe they only have an Adult form, as they do not age and exist outside of time?

[Yack]

Wow that's a really cool mini..... did not know I wanted one. (or even use it)

Seeing this falls into the adult dragon line I am assuming like the others it will be gargantuan size mini.

Very cool choice...

[ElRo]

I like it a lot! I can see an entire campaign built around this dragon.

[greyhaze]

I read this as "adult time"... O.o

[Mattnuke]

Yup, same here. I figured it was WotC trying to be all edgy!

Looking at it more, while I’ll probably never use it as intended, I think it might make a better version of Bahamut than we currently have. I really have never thought he had the right amount of unique design.
