This, I think, is a good way of incorporating something new, and maintaining a narrative reason for it. Certainly, I would not want a dragonborn in every Greyhawk party I ran, but as an interesting role-playing challenge (and narrative mechanism), I can see it being a worthwhile option to include. Having run an adventure in the past which included a cross-breed dragon as the chief villain, there is not such a stretch to a half-dragon PC.</blockquote>
