Quest idea:you have to help a copper dragon win a prank war against another copper dragon
My brain started churning out ideas for this very idea as soon as he mentioned copper dragon rivalries.
I now want to send my players on a quest to steal an artifact from another copper dragon, but without telling them it's from a copper dragon, or that it's due to a rivalry.
The most amusing way I can think of is the movie trope, 'it's a shell company owned by a shell company owned by another shell company....' 15 minutes later, 'owned by a shell company, owned by a copper dragon. whew.'
Or that the plans and descriptions given to the players are so convoluted and messy that they can't make sense of it.
Kinda did this in my second campaign, a Great Wyrm copper had installed himself (under polymorph) as a hero for hire, who was promptly snapped up as a hireling by the group when they saw this 'Bard' in action. The group were level 4 at the time, and were subtly manipulated for a good 10 levels of gameplay to basically undermine the copper bard's potential successor to the area, dealing annoying but ultimately unharmful blows to his plans. Once the group finally twigged as to what was going on they exposed the copper 'bard' to his (comparatively) younger rival, expecting some dramatic showdown where sides would be picked and a victor declared, only to discover that the moment the ruse was presented, both dragons immediately fell about in laughter, thanked the group for 'the best distraction we have managed in centuries', and promptly flew off together.
Turned out they had both been in on the joke since the beginning and had a running bet as to how long the ruse could continue, and who would be the one to first cotton on to the reality of the situation. The group never entirely forgave me for that one.
OMG YHAT WAS MUH IDEA TOO
I immediately started thinking of this 😂
So good!
"copper dragons have overgrown shoulders and thigh muscles "
Confirmation that copper dragons are the THICCEST dragons
*Dragon lands next to you, unfurls his wings, and roars*
You: *fkees*
Dragon: Woah woah woah calm down it's just a prank bro! I'm a friendly dragon!
Pokemon4WoT you: I thought you would stomp me, you giant!
Painting myself RED and attacking the KING!
(gone wrong gone sexual)
@@coolgreenbug7551 Sounds like a interesting adventure. But I wouldn't want such offspring subjected to upbringing under the red menace. Nasty creatures.
I want a sitcom with all the different types of Dragons forced into one location and made unable to kill each other it seems like it would be very entertaining.
Please someone make this XD
Big egg brother
It’s DnD. It must have happened once
Yes
@@redacted144 Indeed it did, as an official setting no less! AD&D 2e's Council of Wyrms was about a society of chromatic, gem and metallic dragons, with their demihuman servants, coexisting on a continent/archipelago spanning all possible biomes, and despite the obvious tension between clans, they must work together lest Io will send another disaster at them. A good setting for a short campaign, it is said.
8:36 "Red dragons are literally the strongest dragons in the world."
Dont let Gold dragons hear you say that. They will sue you for slander.
And they are good prosicutors
I have a great mental image of gold dragon lawer
"Virtually," not literally
@@AshtonPyr I hear literally, you hear virtually, subs say originally. Until Rhexx clarifies it himself I'm not gonna change it :p
@@Kalenz1234 Fair enough
A Copper dragon hired me to hire more people to sell knives, I think I'm being scammed
Draconic MLMs! Get out while you still can!
Is this a Copper Dragon Ponzi Scheme? o.o
HomicidalTh0r) Pyramid scheme
a freakn DRAGON had you in a pyramid scheme 😂
@@HomicidalTh0r
little known fact, the ponzi scheme was started by a copper dragon about 129 years ago, he used the pseudonym "benito ponzi".
Ever wanted to hear a 'yo mama' joke from a dragon?
Copper dragons
Now I have in my mind the image of two copper dragons having a "yo mama" joke competition XD
I never thought I'd want to see a "Yo Mama" showdown between two copper dragons as much as I do right now...
I'm so making this a quest in my campaign...
Terrify low level players by having a dragon drop from the sky right in front of them after they beat a dungeon boss. Have everyone roll initiative but have it rigged so the dragon goes first.
It takes a deep breath, leans back, and says
"YO MAMA SO FAT, THAT A RED DRAGON HAD TO TAKE TWO BITES TO EAT HER"
You mama stinks so much that she made a black dragon vomit
@@fangsabre A wise use of Vicious Mockery right there, sir.
So a Copper dragon and a bard walk into a bar…
Said no insurance adjuster EVER!!!
I find the image of a bigass dragon hoping around rocks like a billy goat and roasting me for being human absolutely hilarious and adorable
Copper dragons have two separate breath weapons. The first is a line of powerful acid, and the second is a cone of gas that slows and cramps the muscles of anyone within it.
But I get what you mean. You're thinking of a copper colored Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.
@@nephicus339 Wrong kind of roasting bro!
@@nephicus339 Their third breath weapon is the ability to form words
When i get my half dragon half brother dire wolf, im so doing this to my foes in game. As a half lupin, i cant jump like that, but i bet the wolf can.
@@glgina6 I think that was the wrong kind of roast on purpose as a joke.
"I vow eternal vengeance for this slight!"
*2 hours later
"Nah, you're alright..."
This is my kind of Dragon lol
Same lol
Do not let copper dragons discover Twitter.
@@AmaryInkawult Jokes on you, all twitterers are all secretly copper dragons.
@@legendarytat8278 @Phantomile
lol no. I was banned from twitter for not giving them my phone number. Which I didn't have because I still use a enchanted mirror.
I'm gonna make a copper dragon and name him Sly because as Sly Cooper said: "There's no challenge, no honor, no fun stealing from ordinary folk. If you rip off a master criminal then you KNOW you're a master thief."
Indeed
Sly Copper
This is *perfect* inspiration for an idea I was having for a new character, thank you
Copper dragons: "It´s just a prank, bro,"
A Dragon running a thieves guild..... WHERE DO I SIGN!!!
Yup
Could have sworn WoW did something like this once
@@sambro6657
Not yup... Yip ! yip yipyipyipyip !
At the comedy club
The copper dragon in a campaign I'm in is the leader of our adventurer's guild
So... A copper Dragon would likely get obsessed with the internet?
they would be running it by now.
they are weaponized autism incarnate XD
@@borntodie297 headcanon accepted
borntodie297 so what you are telling us...
The legendary notorious hacker known as 4chan is, in fact, a copper dragon.
They would become the worst type of trolls
Or a shitposter 😂
Copper Dragons: What if a bard and a rogue gave birth to a dragon
Copper Dragonborn Bard/Rogue multiclass
A headmaster of a bard college as well as a leader of the thieves guild
Copper dragon's fighting style is basically dragon ninjas.
Now I wanna play a copper dragonborn rogue.

I think copper dragonborn monk could be fun too. Way of the Kensei. there you are, dragonborn Ninja :D
"Copper Dragons are immune to alcohol."
Nanny Ogg: "I take this as a personal insult to my skills. JASON! GET MY PERSONAL RESERVE OUTTA THA SHED BOY! SOMEBODIES SAYIN SOME FANCY LIZARDS CAN DRINK SCUMBLE WITHOUT SEEING THINGS."
Yeah? Challenge accepted.
They certainly will prove that they can drink without problem.
Also even if they weren’t immune it would take a lot for them to start seeing things cause there huge.
I ran a campaign where a copper dragon abducted and impersonated a wealthy merchant who owned a trading company. He was extremely successful and used the money to buy all the government officials. The pcs took a few quests from him. I kept giving them subtle hints that he wasn't what he seemed... he had an obsession with fine metalwork and jewelry, hated other dragons, liked to prank the players sometimes. And he never seemed intoxicated, no matter how much wine he had.
Did they figure it out or did they move on not remembering
We need to know what happened
Mason K I did something so similar. A copper dragon was a disguised old lady who ran a brewery business and a postal service. She used the postal service as a means to spy on, well, anybody she chose (nearly all the couriers were spies). Her being a criminal, mobster-like spymaster was a semi-secret surprise for the party, her being a dragon was an extra one on top.
Just recently killed by my party after a year long (in game and out of game) mutual hatred between the two. Long story.
Anyway, just cool that we took our copper dragons in similar directions! :)
As a Slav, I would never notice the "never" intoxicated part as most Slavs don't get intoxicated no matter how much booze we drink
?
I can imagine a copper dragon literally pulling a Uno reverse card on you the moment you say something remotely bad about them.
*Copper Dragon takes a sharp breath, he knows he's losing this battle against the younger copper dragon, he looks at his opponent with a glare after a particularly savage attack on how his horns look like deer antlers, whatever a deer is. After a moment he stands majestically and reaches for a loose scale on his breast and pulls out a small square of what looks like parchment the opponent identifies it with but a single glance. An Uno Reverse card, a card from a long lost civilization that's been said to reverse time itself. With a mighty breath the older cooper dragon mutters but a single phrase.*
"No u"
*the young copper dragon is instantly turned to dust and the older dragon leaves with a smug smile across his face.*
You deserve a medal for that joke
If I'm hearing this right, Copper Dragons are dummy thicc, yes?
Yes XD
Bard: That copper Half-Dragon the last town over... Ya know, the bar maid... She dummy thicc.
Sorcerer: that's my twin sister you asshole.
@@AmaryInkawult "Ok...I'll give her a ring if it'll calm you down. You're like a bro to me anyway...sooo..."
Dubuya Jay Sorcerer: FIREBALL!
Bard: Oh Shi-!
@@jonathanjoestarwithpluck4930 *Runs in terror.* "But I have a large dowry! You know tha-AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!"
So a dragon that builds a maze and loads it with traps? sounds like kobolds would be right at home.
Par for the fact that kobolds heavily dislike trickster, due to what happened to poor ol' kurthulmak.
And that kobbos kinda lean more to chromatic side of the spectrum.
red & copper dragons
The similarities: they'll have you & your family for dinner
Red: you're the main course
Copper: you're the honored guest
:> 250 likes, I am humbled, thanks all!
500, took time but I'm impressed, you all rock!
You beet me to that joke. G.G.😅
Here is your piece of humble 🍰 good ser. : ) to help sustain you in your future travels.
p.s... 🍇🍷🍖
Make that >400
@@tjboardman I'm eagerly awaiting the 500 mark, I've never had a comment this popular either way
Red dragon having you for dinner: you will be eaten
Copper dragon: you will have eaten, and laughed until soup comes out your nose.
Copper dragons - the trolls of the dragon species.
So copper Dragon's are earth bending MEME Lord
Headcannon Accepted.
Inb4 someone creates Dragon Toph Beifong
I think you mean MELON LORD!!!
Plz give your lore series a name. Titles look like clickbait from watch mojo but the content is quite good
Absolutely agree, it is unnecessarily clickbaity ...
Agreed. I will continue watching regardless of the clickbaity titles simply because the content is great, so the titles are unnecessary.
Yup. No clickbait needed. Just makes it looks cheesy, even though it’s not!
Eh, I don't mind cuz it's good content
That's how you grow a business on TH-cam
If You offend a Copper Dragon: Pranks for the rest of Your days.
If You offend any other Dragon: Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru
Copper dragons are by far my favorite. They're like badass dragon ninjas! I imagine they like to taunt and humiliate their enemies like Dante from DMC. They're just here to have a good time and troll the heck out of the pcs.
I love how a copper dragon's fighting style is them jumping from rock pillar to rock pillar, doing take the L every time they land as they repetitively yeet rocks and you and shout insults.
Bard: I roll to seduce the dragon.
Copper Dragon: (Succeeds on saving throw) Why would you try to seduce your own father?
Holy shit underrated comment
I have never played dnd before, and have only recently found out about what it actually is, yet i can absolutely create a quest with this info.
Two copper dragons have been arguing abot who's bar is better in a secluded village. The party's misson? Get these man children to stop arguing like twelve year olds.
You ever find a playgroup, good fellow?
Simple:
Go to each bar and set the inferior one ablaze
@@yanuchiuchihaanimegamesand3907
Throw eggs at their bars, but replace the eggs with fireballs, and say, “It's just a prank, bro”
@@legendarytat8278 Indeed, and I would eat the eggs
"over developed shoulders and thighs"- what rhexx said.. What he meant. "these dragons be dummy thicc"
Insert overdone bard joke here
Copper dragons, better known as Y-wings
"You won´t believe..." srsly mr rhexx :D i dont know if to laugh or cry
Five kinds of metallic dragons (Number three will blow your mind!!)
so basically when 4 copper dragons meet it turns into a 4 yorkshire men skit
10:22, okay good, i was dreading what a drunk copper dragon would do
I saw the title to this video and my first thought of what they do is, "Conduct electricity really really well."
Soooo... What i got out of this vídeo is that not only copper dragons are some of the coolest dragons out there, they are also basicaly the monks of the dragons
Fighting copper dragons sounds like fighting a king dedede player: taunting and infuriating to deal with
An ancient copper dragon living in a city/town/hamlet (hoard being hidden Elsweyr), telling children stories and is referred to as Grandpa [dragon name here] or Grandpa Dragon.
This is my fave dragon so far, it's a troll that can back it up
Now I want to run a encounter with a copper dragon begging the party to help them with a date.
Anyone can ingest venom without difficulty (well, it could a bit risky if you have a cut in your mouth or perhaps a bad stomach ulcer) since it's just a protein. Venoms have to be injected in order to be effective, where as poisons must be ingested (though I think some can do both).
Yep, the only issue arises from very acidic venoms. A lot of venoms can cause chemical burns when applied to skin but they still aren't as strong as human stomach acid.
God, you guys are nerds in a nerd game
@@legendarytat8278 I resemble that remark!
@@kyleromus6845 Also, something different from real life, is the cost of poison is D&D. It's practically daylight robbery!
(also, most “poison” in D&D only poisons the victim in specific situations: consume, inhale, wound, contact, which is quite close to what you said)
with in the first 15 seconds I can already tell that they're basically bards.
Why am I just imigining a never ending yo mama joke fight between two copper Dragons?
9:40 I wonder if that extends to Dragonborn, Copper Dragon Sorcerers, and Copper Half-Dragons?
I had an Ancient Copper Dragon named Trance that would grow all sorts of lotus plants and smoke dope while polymorphed into a wyrmling for convenience. The fighter attacked him, because Trance laughed at his request to give his adamantium armor back. Me: "How many squares is gargantuan?" Players: *shocked pikachu face*
I like this a lot more than I should.
Cooper's are my second favorite metallic dragon. I would love to work for a Cooper running a thieves guild.
When you mentioned Copper Dragons and Combat, I was really hoping you were going to say that one of their favorite spells is hideous laughter.
I LIVE for these dnd lore videos you’re putting out. High quality content that you should be proud of! Keep up the amazing work ♥️♥️
absolutely loving these videos my friend, keep 'em coming.
Excellent work MrRhexx. Love the way you open a world. Keep it up
I love that you give credits to the artists whenever possible! Keep it up MrRhexx
I fecking LOVE copper dragons! My current character is a tabaxi whonwas RAISED by a copper dragon so she is coy sarcastic and a jokster
All i'm hearing is that copper dragons can either be your best friend or your biggest problem.
And have a lot in common with dwarves
Your videos are always excellent. Time passes so quickly with them. good work!
Loving these! Thanks for these deep dives into dragons!
These deep dives have helped my campaign soooo much. Thanks Rhexx!
I love listening to this guys’ voice simply because of how interested and excited he is to share all of this
Now I'm thinking of a polymorphed copper dragon swimming in money like Scrooge Mcduck
More like Scottish dragons, they are the masters of banter
Hey Iv followed your channel since the old Skyrim lore vids. I love how I’m getting into dnd right now and so are your videos. Love your content
OMG when I heard the thing about them loving wine I flipped. I had a copper dragon who was an NPC guide for my party that was always drinking wine, I can't remember if I read that somewhere or if I just made it up but it put a smile on my face anyhow so thanks!
I am quite interested in getting started in D&D
I used to put it off due to my lack of skill with math, but, all the calculators and what not...
These videos have given me some ideas about character ideas and how that character would interact with dragons.
Well, off to the next video.
it will help with math and read and writing if you play
you have been talking about the dragons mating rituals lately, but you forgot about the black dragons. and about bahamut
Introduce copper dragon when the party is low level
Have the dragon offer to be talking buddies in turn of defending the loot that the party accumulate
Have the party become great friends with the dragon
Have the dragon slowly become evil
Send the party to do a lot of it’s dirty work for the sake of ‘friendship’
Wait till the party can stand a chance against the dragon
Have the dragon fight against the dragon as their first XD
To anyone who like this plot feel free to use it and tell me their reaction when one of their own turns against them XD
Saarthak Vinayak copper dragons will most likely never become evil
A note here that is rather important on the copper dragon meals: There is an important distinction between poison and venom. Venom is something that a scorpion injects. Poison is something that is imbibed. (I know that D&D confuses the two)
I love this series. It inspires me every episode.
Just from this video alone I have an entire story brewing in my head that I’m going to write down for my campaign.
Having my players come across a charismatic individual who they come to believe is just a bard reveals that he’s apart of the local thieves guild that runs under the city. He will be sarcastic and always have a smile about him. The players will be under the impression that he is just a lower ranking guild member who introduces them to the guilds “higher-ups” in hopes that they could find some work.
If they follow this story long enough, and gain the charismatic bards respect they would eventually be told they could meet the guilds leader. They would be escorted through the city’s underbelly and its various cave systems, until reaching their destination. Where they’d see the same sarcastic bard who they had befriended some time ago. He’d invite them to some drinks and ask for a few good tales they have made along their journey before revealing himself to be a copper dragon, and the leader of the organization they have been working for. They would undoubtedly ask why he pretended to be a lower ranking goof, and he would explain that when he gets to know the people who work for him personally and they think he’s of no importance, he learns a persons true colors a lot more effectively. This code of conduct has allowed him to become one of the oldest and most respected “crime lords” within the prime material plain. He uses the term crime lord lightly, for he doesn’t stand behind true acts of violence. His true domain is that of gold and treasure. thieving.
Sounds exactly like the thieves guild from Skyrim...
Just discovered your channel, its amazing work and i had to sub. Most of the ddo lore i know comes from the game ddo online i really enjoy it and it made me get more into the ddo universe your channel really makes me understand how much this universe is interesting and incredible. I suggest you promote your channel in the ddo forums so you can share these beautiful videos.
Just got caught up with all your Dragon lore videos and man I can't wait for the next one!!
You should mention the dragons' alignment in these videos.
(GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL) (HALF DRAGON IS BORN)
This is why I like dnd, nothing is just evil or good. So many vareations of dragons, I love it.
Damn, Copper dragons are dope.
Their fun, their cool looking, they're pretty chill, their creative, cunning, playful, their mating ritual is cute, and they use earth magic which imho is a very underrated element. Downside, they are greedy for shiny. Big whoop, so are adventurers...
This gives me an idea for a Copper Dragon that runs a bard college
Love what you are doing and honestly all this information is rrally helping to flesh out my campaign that is centered around fate, the parallel worlds and dragons!
I absolutely love these videos
Im anxiously waiting for the silver dragons since theyre by far my favorites of the metallic kind
I wish that some other games had this level of variety in dragon attitudes and traits beyond just the generic "dragons are ancient and beyond approach". I mean some types are, but the nice thing about DnD is that even amongst one species of dragon, there can still be some understandable variance in personality.
Agreed. Also the age differencies is inspiring.
I'm just imagining century-spanning "You better go catch it" prank calls from this dragon.
Really enjoying this series thank you much
My favorite Metallic Dragon, thanks for making these videos.
Really excited that I found this video, as the table I'm running just encountered the named Galadaeros, the Sunset Flame out in the trackless sea.
Quest idea: a copper dragon wants the adventurers to help him impress his potential mate by setting up a surprise party for her with tons of important and interesting humanoids. The players must gather them all up, and keep her busy while they are being placed in her lair for the party. As a reward for doing this, the copper dragon will part with a bit of his precious hoard. And offer to fly them anywhere they want, after the party of course.
All of ur stuff is gold
I had a copper dragon ally help my PCs in my first real session of D&D 3.5 a few years back. They fought it in the dark, thinking it was an enemy, before the two parties actually saw and met each othr. It all worked out though; they got the dragon drunk soon afterwards with kegs of beer XD
Wait a dragon that likes bard *lewd music intensifies*
can't wait for more! super looking forward to the dragons that the monster manual doesn't mention at all
Dude, I love your videos. I'm a new player and I'd been using your videos as references to build my character and backstory and I really want you to do a video on the different kingdoms in the sword coast. I need to find a king to align my paladin with.
"Hello fellow adventurer,
I am a Copper Dragon Prince that has acquired a big sum of money and gems but have been unable to access it due to some restricting law limitations... In exchange for transferring the funds out of Waterdeep, you will keep 30% of the total. In order to get the process started please reply with your Neverwinter bank account number and associated personal information..."
Once you're done with the metallic and chromatic classic dragons. I hope you expand into the not as well known species. Love your videos! Keep up the great work! 💛🐲
Played a half-copper dragon bard a few years back without even knowing half of his lineage was a bard by nature. Guess I played up that part of his identity pretty well.
Wow I'm actually impressed by this lore piece, thanks Rhexx! I've notice that the special relationship that they have between them is interestingly similar to the kakapo's (a New Zealand terrestrial bird that lives to the ripe old age of 95 in the wild) !
p.s. When a kakapo sees his "partner" they play for a while until one of them gets a little aggressive (because he got offended). But they're partners lol
I’m so glad you’re doing dragon videos!!! There’s not enough detailed information on this!
New favorite dragons! Can't wait for a video on silver dragons c:
Copper Dragon 3.5E: "Hahaha! Hunting deadly monsters is fun!"
Copper Dragon 5E: "Why am I getting hit so much? I put most of my skill points into Dexterity."
I like to think that in a fight Copper Dragons are just talking shit like Spider-Man does.
The battle between a copper and a red dragon could be the concept for a Looney Toons style cartoon
I wont believe a new GLORIOUS D&D vid came out !
simply Ty again Rhexx!!
Copper dragons are a big mood.Also copper dragons can be great for funny little quests or maybe serious prank turf wars.
Hello good sir. Big fan. I was wondering if you could do a deep dive lore video on all the deity dragons. Such as, bahaumut, Tiamat, sardior. That would be awesome. Keep up the great work!
