[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 4651620, member: 14041"] Description is everything. My last PC was a half-elf Dragon Blooded Battle Sorcerer. Grayalyn was constantly making his eyes glow acidic green and muttering curses in draconic. When he cast magic missile I described it as talons growing from his fingers and shooting off at this target,mage armor covered him in glowing translucent scales, and fireball was accompanied by a dragons roar. He had Intimidate instead of Bluff and used it all the time as a substitute for for Frightful Presence. Whenever possible I took spells that played into his draconic heritage by replicating draconic abilities. I never said "He casts Spell Name Goes Here" I always described what he was doing it terms of the effects. He also constantly cast prestidigitation - to clean his boots, to make himself [I]smell[/I] more draconic, and to otherwise make small magical effects go off around him. You mgiht want to take a look at the latest issue of Kobold Quarterly. I found the description of Ink Magic to be very inspiring, with its talk of notebooks with sketched out summoned monsters and ink components. [/QUOTE]
