The great dragons of Golarion dominate the hidden mountain valleys of the world and stand with serpentine grace at the center of the world's most mysterious and potent legendry. Like the best-selling Classic Monsters Revisited, Dragons Revisited takes a deeper look at the ten canonical fantasy dragons (red, blue, green, black, white, gold, silver, bronze, brass, and copper), detailing the history, lore, ecological habits, and schemes of each draconic breed. Each mini-section of the book features never-before-revealed details about a specific dragon, adding a host of intriguing wyrms to any Pathfinder campaign.

A great look at mythology's most interesting creatures,
By
This review is from: Pathfinder Chronicles: Dragons Revisited (Paperback)
Dragons are among the most intriguing creatures in mythology. They exist in one form or another in almost every human culture, and stories told about them get bigger and grander with every telling. In the world of fantasy role-playing, however, they often turn into a sack of hit points and powers. Dragons Revisited seeks to solve that problem with details and insights about these remarkable monsters. Using the same format from Paizo's previous entry in this series, Classic Monsters Revisited, the book looks at the ten most common dragon types found in fantasy gaming: the five chromatic dragons (black, blue, green, red, and white) and the five metallic dragons (brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver). Each entry provides a long look at what makes each dragon unique, ranging from their eating and mating habits to their use of magic and the type of lairs they prefer. Finally, each chapter ends with a fully-statted up dragon, complete with a unique personality and ready for a game.
Like Classic Monsters Revisited, the strength of this book lies in Paizo's ability to breathe new life into creatures that were previously well-known enough to become boring. This volume doesn't include anything quite as memorable as the madcap Pathfinder goblins, but that is arguably not as necessary when you're dealing with the most popular creatures in the game. NThe difference between a red dragon and a white dragon is no longer just that the red dragon is more powerful and breathes fire. Now the red dragon is a being that gives itself wholly over to destruction from birth, while the whites have a constant inferiority complex due to being the weakest of the dragons. The extra bonus of this book is that, since it doesn't contain much in terms of rules material, it's good reading just for the sake of reading. Even if you don't play Dungeons & Dragons or a similar fantasy RPG, there's a lot of interesting ideas here that makes the book well worth the price just for the entertainment alone. All in all, Dragons Revisited is another excellent entry in the growing number of quality titles available in the Pathfinder game line.
