[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7508360, member: 20564"] So my daughters have been wanting me to introduce D&D to them and we made characters but haven't played yet, and then they got my niece and nephew involved. Youngest is 12, all are bright, and they get the rules. However, my nephew's creativity makes him really want to play a young dragon instead of a humanoid. He's already come up with a backstory. Also, he's not familiar with the D&D lore of dragons with it's colored & metalics, which is pretty unique to D&D, and wants a "traditional green scaled" dragon that eventually gets to breath all sorts of different effects starting with fire. We talked about reskinning, which he gets, but the more I talk to him the more i think actually working up a dragon that we can level that will be on-par with 1st through 5th level characters will be good. Especially because the party needs some tanking, something a dragon should be able to conceptually do but hard to do with reskinning something that use a "breath weapon" as it's primary attack every round. (The rest of the party is a Half-Elven Druid heading for Circle of Dreams (eldest daughter), a Drow Rogue heading towards assassin (youngest daughter) and I think a wild magic sorceress (niece, haven't mad the character yet). So, what would you suggest for level 1 thru level 5 playable dragon, able to tank and breathe? [COLOR=#a9a9a9]EDIT: Updated what my niece wants to play.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
