Dragons, which would be more of a race & class combination. For something smaller scale, lizardfolk

That's still just the same thing, and I wasn't implying that it would be an ancient dragon at level 1 either. So even with your clarification, my statement still stands. One reason is that the actual numbers or amount of dice something has is just an abstraction. So all the a PC dragons need is...

Not being exactly like the NPC stat blocks doesn't mean it's not following the rules, it's just admitting that the rules for PCs and Monsters/NPCs are different. It doesn't need to be an exact match for the dragon MM stats anymore than the other PC classes need to be a match for the NPC stat blocks.

For the lair, might I suggest that rather than it be a class feature, that it's an alternative or additional system for treasure/rewards?

Heheheheheh, I'm going to have to try that sometime :)

I actually don't have a problem with building regular PCs and monster PCs differently, as the goal isn't to build things the same way, but to have a comparable level of power after they're built. And even in 3E the only thing that was the same between PCs and monsters was that HD and the number...

Here is a good series about what railroading is So yeah, I don't agree that PotA is a railroad due to the difficulty levels of the areas, still it can be a bit annoying and preventative towards the exploring absolutely everywhere. I'd have liked to see the places on each layer being a bit...

Thanks! Glad you like it :) It was a lot of fun to make, too. And I look forward to actually using it and this work someday.

Oooh! *GRABS* I shall have to try this out sometime for certain... just need more time >.> It'd be interesting to have a mixed party and one of the "humanoid" members had my Polymorphed Dragon background.

I don't have my book, but I'm pretty sure there was at least one other class where you could get unlimited flight similar to the Sorcerer's

I'd allow it. I'm even going to make a subrace of dragonborn that's basically it that has a slightly slower flying speed but higher natural attack damage, in place of the BW and resistance.

Obviously there's a local young dragoness who takes a liking to one of the party members, but her parents want him to provide a decent dowry first (not too small, not too big). Benefits of this are a friendly dragon and perhaps a small bit of influence on the dragon council. :)

I'm working on a new setting for my first 5E campaign, sometime in the distant (but hopefully not too far) future. The world has had a cataclysmic invasion by elves and lesser fey (gnomes, goblins, etc.) and the only safe places from them for humanity to live in are within the territory of...

Do be sure to share anything you create with the rest of us. I know I'd appreciate this particular spell :)

Why not port the actual Form of the Dragon over as its own spell?
