[QUOTE="grimwell, post: 3240208, member: 3694"] I'll bite. It's an interesting idea. The key is to take this neat quirk of science and turn it into something of a plot. No plot = the 'big deal' that others are giving as replies right now. Let's say she was exiled by the other dragons for refusing to mate with the king. Stick with science and give her all male offspring from this 'virgin birth' to make things fun. Then lets age her so she won't live long enough to protect her offspring through their growth into adulthood. Now give her a tribe of followers (humans, kobolds, whatever, that venerate her). Their mission is to protect the dragons while they grow. That could be an entire campaign hook for PC's -- hunting down dragons that threaten the newborn clutch and protecting them over the years so they can grow. Gives PC's dragon allies and whatnot (high powered campaign anyone?) Now have one of the other dragons find them, but just one. The PC's have to hunt and kill that dragon before word gets back to the greater populace. Eventually the clutch of dragons is matured and one of them can go take down the Dragon King completing mom's circle of revenge. Oh! Bonus points! After the virgin birth mom deliberately breeds with a two legged race to make her children's protectors half-dragon. Now you have a party of half-dragons! ;p This is probably a horrible plot idea, but the basic point is that you can take it beyond the 'hey neat/forget' and make it something, but the story is where you are going to do that. :) [/QUOTE]
