The simplistic solution is to have them play a basic character. Get familiar with game dynamics ie. interacting with the other characters, learning the nuances of what the DM does with the game, etc. Then allow them to grow/advance towards the more complex elements of playing a character ie/ advancing into a custom prestige class.A new player can be guided into the growth of the character. The character has no inkling that they are a half/dragon. Allow them to gradually discover half-dragon abilities. Babies can't sprint much less walk when first born. Use the same approach.The samurai and bushido issue gets complicated. My feeling is to have a ronin samurai join as an NPC and guide the samurai in the "Way". The player can then see by example what they should be doing. Another alternative is to  task the character with a Clan quest. Most samurai clans when they weren't serving the needs of the emperor were doing things to better the name of their clan. A structured quest involving the more important tenets of bushido might make for some great adventuring on a secondary story arc off of the main plot.Klingons are one of the most easily misunderstood characters to role play. Applying the Klingon nature to any sort of character is rough from an individual basis. With a culture that recognizes what the Klingons stand for, portraying that type of character is much easier. Belligerent is the right word to describe a Klingon. Bushido philosophy may cross over in many places with the noble Klingon ideal. Yet the Samurai bushido attitude is duty and honor. I can see those being associated with Klingon ideals, yet not the major focal point. Integrating Klingon nature into this character is tough for somebody new to gaming.So Sayeth the Bone Daddy</blockquote>
