Talk:Radiant dragon

It's worth noting that radiant dragons are found in 3e&mdash;in the Draconomicon, pp. 85–86&mdash;but they seem to be different creatures. There are certainly some similarities, but not enough to convince me that they are the same thing. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:20, April 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I noticed that too while looking for them in other editions. They really do seem completely unrelated, so I was considering adding a disambiguation template like an Otheruses4 or such, but thought that it would only be relevant if there is actually mention of the planar variety in the Realms. &mdash; Sirwhiteout (talk) 18:31, April 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Dear Sirwhiteout,


 * planar dragons exist in the Realms. All the variants from the Draconomicon and two others called Force and Prismatic from sources I don't know of are in Dragons of Faerûn page 11. There is a sidebar that gives the variants habitats.


 * If the Radiant Dragon is the same as the planar version, their habitats would be House of Nature, House of the Triad and the Dragon Eyrie.


 * Best Regards

 * I agree with your decisions. Player's Guide to Faerûn does claim that planar dragons of all varieties live in the Dragon Eyrie and that planars are found elsewhere in the planes as noted in Draconomicon, but they don't seem to come to Toril much if ever; there is not a single one listed in the giant table in Dragons of Faerûn. I don't think it would be wrong to create articles about the planars, because of the connection found in PGtF, but let's worry about that when we need to; it's very low priority. There isn't a reason to use an Otheruses4 until such a 3e Radiant dragon article is written. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:54, April 23, 2018 (UTC)
