A 1st level dragon doesn't have 40+ hit points, can't fly and has no breath weapon aside from a possible case of halitosis.

I'm obviously missing a critical section in a rulebook, then...in looking at the standard entry for a bronze dragon in the 3.5 MM, I'm seeing 6d12 as the HP for a bronze wyrmling. Having been out of D&D for 18 months, I'm now drawing a blank as to where I should be looking for stats on a dragon PC. Let me know.

There. Feel better now?

Indeed.

At the moment I'm trying to decide whether my dragon should have been entrusted to a humanoid mentor in Sandpoint by a late draconic parent (the likeliest candidate being Ameiko Kaijitsu at the Rusty Dragon Inn) or have simply been left to hatch alone for unknown reasons in a chamber somewhere beneath the Old Light. The former means that my dragon would have a mentor and friend amongst the populace while the latter leaves me free of anyone in town knowing about my presence there. What do you think?

A relationship with Ameiko Kaijitsu requires more work on my end than your idea to be born in the Old Light but is probably better for both you and the adventure. What happened to your idea to lair at the Sandpoint Theatre?

I see that you've included Unearthed Arcana amongst the campaign's sourcebooks. I'm wondering which optional rules, if any, we'll be using from that book. Are traits and flaws permitted? For that matter, are we gaining any campaign specific traits from the adventure?

Traits and flaws are allowable on a limited basis, yup. Which interest you? Regarding whether characters gain campaign-specific traits from the adventure, I certainly wouldn't rule it out. I usually wind up handing out all kinds of goodies (which delight both me and the players at the time, though sometimes I later regret my decision!) during adventuring for the simple reason that when things are dull I compensate by giving out new "toys." Probably not the best approach to DMing, but it's an honest assessment.

Also, you'll have to assign my character his starting gold, if any. Monster classes never have it listed for some odd reason.

Can do. Let me read up on a few things, and I'll get back to you. I'll be at work this afternoon and have plans to go out this evening (a once in a blue moon occasion!), so it may be Saturday late morning before I get back to you. We do a community pancake breakfast every Saturday morning here at this seminary, which is a terrific impromptu gathering, but what with cooking, chatting up friends, and clean-up duties, we're frequently busy until 10:30 am.
