"For use with the fifth edition Player's handbook, Monster manual, and Dungeon master's guide"--Back cover.

Meet Fizban the Fabulous: doddering archmage, unlikely hero of the War of the Lance, divine avatar of a dragon-god -- and your guide to the mysteries of dragonkind in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. In these pages, Fizban reveals the truth of the First World and introduces the family of gem dragons -- amethyst, crystal, emerald, sapphire, and topaz. Players will find a treasure trove of dragon-themed character options: dragonborn with ties to specific draconic ancestries, subclasses for dragon-themed monks and rangers, supernatural gifts for those who claim the power of a dying dragon, and more.
