Early in the the campaign, one of the players got a pet baby phoenix. I thought that would be pretty cool, and it's rooted in the overarching plot of the campaign story along with some other 'gifts' the players have gotten since then.
But this guy loves dragons. When we converted to 4E, he wanted to change his elf character into a dragonborn. I [very] reluctantly let him, allowing him to use dragonborn stats, but still look like an elf and not use dragon breath until a few sessions later when some harpies fortuitously dropped a dragon claw pendant that allows him to assume his 'dragon form'. (Fortunately, I've also found a way to fuse this with the storyline, though he doesn't know it yet.)
So yeah, he loves dragons. And now he keeps hinting that it would be really cool if his baby phoenix grew up into a dragon . . . what should I do?
He obviously really wants it, and so part of me wants to make it happen. At the same time, I don't want to keep making serious comprimises to my setting and continuity just to give him stuff that he thinks is cool.
What do you think?
