Just imagine this: your party befriends an NPC. They're fun and caring, always helping you and others. You get a job: a small village near a forest was destroyed and nobody knows what happened. The group travels to the place, fighting all sorts of monsters on the way, but when you finally see the village, all plants and animals poisoned, corpses on the ground, your friend suddenly changes, anger clearly showing through their expression. You delve into the forest, your friend finding tracks that shouldn't be found, sniffing the air every once in a while just like a wolf. Then, a few hours later, you emerge in front of a wide entrance to a cave. "SHOW YOURSELF!" they shout in a language only your wizard knows, draconic. And from the depths of that cave, a hulking green creature appears, surrounded by a thick greenish-yellow mist that burns your nostrils - a Green Dragon. Despair. That's the only thing you feel. You're not ready for this. What the fuck is going on? Shit, I'm dead. Then, in the blink of an eye, your friend lets go of their sword, their body swells, ripping the heavy armor they wear to twisted pieces of metal. They grow bigger then the green death before you, wings unfolded blocking the sun, a giant silver pile of muscle. The green dragon hisses. You never thought it could happen, but you see fear in the dragon's eyes. It tries to fly away, but the silver dragon unleashes a series of attacks like a wild animal. Claws, fangs, icy breaths that steal the heat of your bodies even at a distance. You try to find shelter, roars that shake the ground arround you. A few minutes - that felt like hours - of terror later, the sounds stop. The first who dares to look sees your friend, now without armor, but covered in bruises and cuts. Arround them, frozen trees and dead plants. And the massive corpse of the green dragon. "Well, at least the job is done, but I need another set orf armor hahahaha"

I feel like one of them would notice when the all just sit and think about a problem for several days XD. From what I understand, the reason silvers love people is because people are very active and quick (in dragon terms) to action. This challenges the dragons to act quickly in a "look at those cute little things, if they can decide what to do that quickly I should be able to aswell." People inspire them to act sooner rather than later, I feel a party of dragons would spend a lot of time huming and hawing instead of acting.

Dragons exude a aura that we'd describe best as a scent, but to other dragons its a way to communicate their presence. For humanoids it is a sense of dread we feel, but other dragons know it to be one of their own. So if you had a entire party of Silvers, they would know each other's presence before actually seeing them. And then a Copper Dragon would be laughing somewhere having set up the Silvers meeting as a prank. Also don't have a Dragon in your party if you intend on trapping a dragon or surprising it.

That actually is one of the quirks of crystal dragons, they adopt other dragons offspring especially chromatic (mostly white) dragons to raise them to be good or at least neutral.

Another thing most people typically don't know about Silver Dragons: They're the most common Dragon specie to produce Half-Dragons. They frequently Polymorph into and live among the various humanoid races, and are known to form both platonic and romantic relationships with them. Due to the nature of a Metallic Dragon's Polymorph ability, anything that would likely result in a "Fade to Black" in most groups involving a humanoid and a Polymorphed Metallic Dragon could result in one party or the other eventually giving birth to a Half-Dragon. As for why Silver Dragon Half-Dragons are the most common... well, it's simple. They are the ones most likely to spend extended periods of time with humanoids, they're the ones that like humanoids the most to start off with, and they're the only ones that are able to view humanoids as anything other than "animals that cause problems".

For other Dragons, a half dragon would be considered not their problem, or beneath them to raise, but the inherent goodness of the silvers would lead them in having a relationship with their offspring, and a stake in their welfare. In other words, many families would not object to having a few dragons looking in on them if that dragon happens to be a clan of silvers. Be like having the world's best in-laws, and likely a long relationship.

@@dubuyajay9964 seeing steels produce fully human children, one would suppose they would also produce half dragons via mating with one. But the important thing is that dragons sense eachother's aura.

Seeing both Silvers and Steels have a thing for Humanity, and not eachother, I'd say it doesn't happen as often as one would think.

I had a similar thought, but it ended very differently. Philo the dragon was raised by elves and trained with them as a ranger, in addition to his dragon levels. As an Adult, he went on a tour of a nearby evil kingdom accompanied by his ape animal companion, traveling with the Windmarch caravans and fighting in local pankration (MMA) bouts as a human. There were epic fights, a recurring bandit/ adventurer group in the employ of an evil merchant rival, an attractive gypsy, and sometimes opportunities to help out a person in need with his winnings (q.v. Clint Eastwood in "Every Which Way But Loose" for the core concept). Philo came back with a nice stash of money and a much better understanding of humans, but it's an evil kingdom. He saw that it wasn't just the ruling house; many of the people are also evil, and hurt each other any chance they get. He decided that he does NOT like humans, and is now an ally of the elven isolationist faction. * * His younger brother Rhyss takes a very different view, but he found Philo's stories from that trip hilarious and inspirational. Rhyss can talk anyone into anything (+30 Diplomacy), and may be about to invest some of his hoard and build a merchant empire/ shipping insurance consortium. Some good but roguish PCs would be just the ticket for all kinds of related swashbuckling/ intrigue missions, with a neat merchant option of their own as a way to get and spend treasure. As a side note, Rhyss has 3 Monk levels, and will enter local pankrations like his brother. But he enters to learn moves he doesn't know, not to win. He pulls his punches, uses elven aikido moves along with his dragon kung-fu style to buy space and time, makes it look good, and makes it last so he can see the other guy's full array. It's always exciting, but he taps out about half the time. Then he uses his charm and ends up drinking with his opponents. It's an unusual form of monk training, but as he gets better he's going to become a truly fearsome dragon to fight.

There's a logic that dictates their berserk fury when encountering a chromatic. It's because they don't go out of their way to find them and prefer to be around humanoids. If they find a chromatic, the logic is that the chromatic by definition is too close to the humanoids the silver is attached to. A super-intelligent guard dog, effectively.

I also still consider them lawful good, in the sense that they have a code of conduct and moral compass, but won't go out of their way to impose their code on others. They don't seek a neutrality for evil acts, or see the overall arch of an evil act. If they know of it, they will go against it. But don't hunt down evil constantly.

And it's not that hard to make one, and usually it's the dm's job to make sure everyone is having fun, thus will rarely say no. That's good and all, but still, silver is Mary sue like for their oh so perfect nature, and GOLDS are this sort of op goodie to shoes who can never be wrong. That's not lawful good, as in that case alot of none lawful good would become lawful good. Who you can have a code of conduct without forcing it on others and NOT be lawful good. They have no sense of evil, unless it is a stereo type of evil, mainly the cartoony cliché one, that their this oh so naive innocent dragon who can do no wrong makes them even more unrealistic, and biased to other races, and are essientally humans, just in dragons bodies. They do alot of human things, and have things that not even golds have. They feel a bit on the op scale, and if Gary ever went back and made them less human and more like an actual dragon, and not be in biased favor of humans, I would see them as less Mary sue like. Until, they still are.

I gotta talk about my favorite NPC in my current campaign, Cayndoss. He resides in a library in a tall mountain range. He did not build the library, it was abandoned when he found it and he patched it up and read what books remained there. He decided to make it his mission to accumulate more books in this library and help those seeking knowledge, and for centuries that is what he did. He even became a cleric of the knowledge god of our pantheon. Clerics of course cannot get familiars normally but we thought it fitting that Cayndoss might’ve been giften a Modron, as the knowledge god replaces Primus in our campaign. This Modron helps Cayn with organizing and finding books. The party did not know any of this. One player, Jørgen, sought out a cure for his wife’s infertility (long story short, she’s an artificial human and we ended up making a race for her), and all he knew was that the evil witch who had captured and experimented on him for a long time referred to Cayndoss once as “a nice young man,” so Jørgen assumes this person, who got along with the witch, must be evil too, and plots to kill him while they go up the mountain. The party eventually gets to this remote library, and they sneak in all carefully, and try to search for information. Unfortunately for them, I have 4 d100 tables of random books I got from reddit so they have no luck. Eventually the Modron sees them and they panic but it comes down and, as programmed, repeats a phrase. “Hello. Welcome. Cayndoss is not home.” Then it flies off. The party continues searching, and goes upstairs where there are three doors- one leads to a guest room, one to a storage room with a sign in front that says “Storage room- help yourself” and the last one, a locked door which has a sign saying “This is my room. Please stay out. Thanks, Cayndoss.” Jørgen and his wife decide to unlock the door, while the cleric of the party has a chat with some Nothics hiding within the library, managing to talk his way out of a fight (which I was fine with.) There is first a magic mouth spell from Cayndoss, warning them to not proceed or they will be hurt. The sorcerer, a runechild, uses a class ability and sees two runes on the floor- “pain” and “death.” The sorcerer soaks up the pain symbol with their high Constitution saves. Jørgen, a ranger, didn’t have as high a Constitution and triggered the death symbol. He didn’t die, but his pained yell alerted the Modron who said “DANGER. DANGER. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.” Jørgen panicks and shoots it, and in one turn reduces it to 4hp, causing it to flee towards the door of the building. The party pursues and Jørgen lands a long range shot, causing it to crumble into dust. Then they see it. A silvery shape in the distance, getting larger. They run inside and hide, unsure of what they got into. Cayndoss, in dragon form, slams the giant doors open and demands to know what is going on- he doesn’t know what or who killed his Modron and broke into his room but he doesn’t take too kindly to it. After a few rounds of investigation, he spots the sorcerer with his blindsight who is trying to invisibly hide under a table. He tells her to “Come out peacefully and I will not kill you.” She does, and he finds out about the others and scolds them for a bit, but seeing that they were expecting someone evil (and also not a dragon) and needed help (also they didn’t steal anything from his hoard) he sighed and turned back into his favorite form, a moon elf. He gave them the information they needed, and after the session Jørgen’s player told me how surprised he was that Cayn was just a nice guy and not evil. I still find their shock hilarious at seeing an adult silver dragon burst through the doors, but if they were nice then they would’ve gotten a completely different experience from a moon elf who is genuinely happy to meet them, instead of a grumpy one who got off to a bad start. He would’ve offered them tea and completely forgotten to mention that he’s a dragon. Oh also they’re debating ratting the Nothics out to him since they asked the cleric to not tell Cayn they were there. He doesn’t like them since they always disorganize books in their search for a way to become normal again.

Do they love humanoids or just humans? Do silver dragons may pick a humanoid race to favor? Would be interesting to see silver dragons geek and debate about their favored races: - “I’ve known a family of humans, I know them for 6 generations, they started from farmers to total royalty, seeing them make a whole kingdom from nothing. Humans are the best - Seriously? The only thing they do is fight each other, elves on the other hand are WAY more interesting, they are very diverse culturally and racially, very educated and with the ability to see past lives when young and share information via visions when old (and their craftsmanship is simply gorgeous) - Yeah, but they always have the head in the clouds, never considering the now, and they are a bunch of squares, dwarves and gnomes on the other hand know how to enjoy the simple treats of life, they are as good at making tools and jewelry as they are at making parties, see this necklace? I got it from a well-known artisan in Latan (had to kill a red dragon for it)” (And the debate goes on and on)

The main problem with silver dragons preferring other races to humans is their relative longevity, one of the biggest reasons silver dragons like humans so much is their short but vibrant life spans. from what i can tell the silver dragons thoughts on humans are along the lines "they are a brief but beautiful spark in a still world".

Also I think the biggest reason we as humans impress them is because of our epic accomplishments in such short times.

They do have a code of conduct and moral compass, but they don't go out of their way to impose this code on others. They have no issue with working with authority either. That still fits in Lawful Good, but perhaps with a light leaning towards Neutral. Silvers also consider honor something great to them. Honor is a very lawful attribute - not just lawful good.

Really awesome dragons, not only because of their power, but because they’re not above sharing a meal with humanoids, they’ll heal your wounds and nurse you back to health (they’re like mixing Arthur Wesley and Médecins sans Frontiers), they are like Prometheus and Quetzalcoatl, beings that despite their power, they admire those “little and weak beings”, maybe in a parental way, kinda like how you make a bond with a Sim or a Pokémon, you feel an emotional connection, you may feel more capable than them because you are real and they are a bunch of numbers, but you care for and about them. (And in my opinion, if they love humans, they’ll ADORE rock gnomes, too bad they’re always hiding (the hidden folk after all)) My question is: is it possible for a silver dragon to actually fall in love with a humanoid? To marry a humanoid, to make the oath towards them? It would be interesting in how a humanoid may be a young adult silver dragon’s first love, maybe hide their identity under a Polymorph spell (I know only ancient ones can, but a necklace or ring with the spell works too), maybe stay out of combat or using just only enough strength, only for healing the team’s wounds after or during combat (seriously, a Bahamut cleric doesn’t sound bad). Maybe would start developing feelings for one of the party members (maybe viceversa, maybe make a love triangle, DMs rejoice >:D), then either by their own will or a chromatic dragon’s apparition, they’ll drop the costume and go beserk, and in the heat of the battle, a PC may get harmed in the way (either the SD’s love interest or someone the loved PC loves), maybe running away from the shame and remorse or getting kicked out of the party... just... DUDE. If you’re already here, thanks for reading all this text :) Now, for a future video, it would be nice to see one about steel dragons, the other humanoid loving dragon.

Dragons can and have had children with anything. There are abundant half-dragons for a reason. A silver dragon is one that isn't about to let their favored human family just abruptly end without heirs. A lone survivor of such a family will have suitors that the dragon nudges in their direction. If that survivor is good enough(ala paladin or cleric of a good deity) Or just a straight up a truly good person. They will court them assuming they aren't married or have the blessing of their draconic partner.(making family get-togethers quite a spectacle)

Really makes things awkward for the town knowing that friendly guy at the tavern you drink with is a dragon though since silvers won't run off from a kid being a deadbeat or irresponsible parent is an alien concept to them. In 3.5 There is an entire sub-race of humans called Silver brow humans who are distant relatives of a bunch of silver dragons that are really diluted in draconic features and one silver decided to make a community of them which then turned into a small city.

@Sacred Icon You must be religious, because I can't see any other reason why anyone would argue against moral relativism. I think the thing people need to realize is that moral relativism, if reduced to it's barest components, can be little more than "It's my opinion that this is okay" but it's not really that simple. The idea is really more along the lines that there is no objective morality. We all, as a society, decide what is right and wrong. Think to yourself, how many people actually live their lives in an evil manner, due to some kind of moral relativism? Do some exist? I'm sure, but most people, even those who believe and understand moral relativism still behave in a manner generally consistent with societal moral standards. If I'm arguing moral relativism to someone, it isn't to say that there is no right and wrong, it's merely to point out that in a cosmic sense, there is no objective right or wrong. We decide collectively what is right and wrong, and that can change as times change.

I see Silver Dragons as being adherents to the philosophy of "Nobless Oblige" or "Nobility Obliges", where due to their stature and power, they have an obligation to defend and look after those in their care, even at the cost of their own life. I also believethat Silver Dragons would be the ones most likely to have Half-Dragon children, due to their love and fondness for humans. Plus, if Adventurers are ever in over their heads with regards to any Chromatic Dragon, a Silver would probably be the best sort of Metallic to seek out for aid, as their core philosophy would demand that the Silver provide such assistance. And then there would be the inherent and undying hatred between Metallics & Chromatics.

Something I notice about the metallic dragons is that none of them are capable of defeating evil alone, but they each represent aspects of the fight for good. Gold dragons represent stamping it out before it begins. Bronze dragons represent bringing justice to wrongdoing. Silver dragons represent rehabilitation and healing the wounds that evil creates. Brass dragons represent the understanding necessary to prevent evil from arising. Finally, copper dragons represent the freedom and support that we need to allow good people to rise to the occasion. Together, the metallic dragons are embodiments of all sides of goodness.

There's a kingdom in the homebrew campaign I run, known simply as Virtue. It's very Camelot and their primary religion is Bahamut, the platinum dragon. When first founded, the new kingdom beseeched the aid of the silver dragon Stellagosa to fight off the ravages of marauding "rotkin" and their "god" the black dragon Skallathax. Fast forward 1200 years and that same dragon keeps a close watch over the human kingdom, delighting in their growth and prosperity. Her image is the kingdom's heraldric device, a silver dragon on a field of blue. She is still friends with the unbroken line of kings and, unknown to all, has slipped in and out of history as a human observer. Currently, she's decided to get a closer look while lending aid, serving as the current high priestess of Bahamut after the former high priest's passing from old age. Only a few know of her current humanoid persona, but she's remained a true ally of her "children" since their first steps on the path of chivalry.

I strongly agree with the Gold Dragon philosophy. It has some interesting implications though : If a good character attacks an evil creature by virtue of alignment alone, and that evil creature never did anything to harm anyone, it would treat the evil creature as good and innocent and the good creature as evil and worthy of its fury. It would make for an interesting campaign scenario.

This is so eerie. I have a draconic bloodline sorcerer that has a silver dragon ancestry and I played him exactly like a silver dragon would act without even knowing it. I have like three damaging spells on my spell list and loads of control spells to stop fights, etc. Thanks for a great video series btw. Really helpful.

You know, I recently got a chance to get into D&D recently. Wanting to learn more about the lore about the creatures out there, I've been watching most of the videos you've done on D&D. After learning just about every way my kobold adventurer could potentially get annihilated by all the monsters and eldritch horrors out there, it is comforting there is at least one monster who has our backs. Silver dragons are a breath of fresh air amongst all the various creatures out there just looking for a chance to kill, steal our souls, or worse.

I once made a kingdom ruled by silver dragonic sorcerers and the story behind them went like this. Long ago when the kingdom was young a adventurous Prince found a wounded female silver dragon and helped her recover years passed and the Prince visited the dragon constantly forming a deep bond with her until the Prince's father was killed by his brother and soon a civil war was being waged and to make matters worse the traitorous brother had made a pact with demons and they began to swarm the land the Prince went to the dragon and asked for her help without hesitation she pick up the prince and went to help and together they push back the demons until she was wounded by a demon of fire but the the prince without thinking took his sword and manage to slay the demon by surprise and when the fighting was done the dragon impressed by his bravery allowed herself to be permanently transformed into a human to be with the prince now king as his queen and now their descendants carry the dragon's power within themselves.

Imagine a dragon meeting a fourth generation child of a family it has befriended and the child grew up hearing about the silver dragon that was going to be their friend and they draw a picture of the dragon and when they finally present it to the silver dragon ,I hope it would put the picture in its hoard as one of its most prized possessions, or at least that’s what I’m hoping it would do.

you should consider doing a video on half dragon lore. some of the colors I just don't see ever happening. silver and blue I see as the most likely to produce half dragons, greens and coppers possibly, but when it comes to the other colors I honestly don't see it. and yet there are half dragons of all the colors.

Very very interesting! Like always, great video. Silver Dragons are in fact so in touch with other humanoids, and mostly humans, that they sometimes even mate with those humanoids. When you see a Sorcerer with a draconic heritage, even if the manuals has made it so you can choose your ancestor type, lorewise they are very most of the time descendants of a Silver Dragon who, long ago, has fell in love with a humanoid being. In 3.5 editions, they even had a specific sub-human race called ''Silverbrow Human'' who was a typical human with draconic lineage and, funny thing, the ability to cast Feather Fall as a spell-like ability.
