That being said, this is your lady and her mom?  Awesome, dude.  My girlfriend games with me, and her mom is awesome, but lives across the state.  If she wanted to play with us, and wanted a dragon pet, I would find a way to make this happen.  She probably read the Pern books, and wants that kind of feel.  the whole "empathic link" thing.  My suggestion (other than listening to the awesome suggestions already made in this thread) is to bend or break every rule in the book to give her mom the experience that she deserves.  However, I would be sure to tell her that this isn't standard.  If she wants to go on to play an ongoing campaign, She needs to know that those tend to be more restrictive at lower levels, but that role-playing those restrictions can be a lot of fun.Finally, I would suggest a prelude game.  When the characters are teenagers, being introduced to newly hatched dragons, and bonding with them (then going on some kinda harmless adventure like being lost in the woods).  This might seem to be a Disney plot, but it will set the stage for them.  Also, while you are absolutely right to not want to strip the dragons of thier grandure, I would NOT set this in a standard D&D world, but rather one that doesn't know dragons, except as myths.  maybe the PCs come from a small, secluded place that guards dragons/eggs.  They "bond" with the eggs, but get exiled for messing with them.  Later, while on the road, the dragons hatch, and follow the PCs.  I would not go with adult at this point.  I would have each session be a seperate part of the PC's life, levelling the PC as needed to fit the chronolgy.This is giving me so many ideas.  You have a lot of fun ahead of you, bro.</blockquote>
