[QUOTE="Burn_Boy, post: 5300329, member: 88198"] First off, I don't know if this carried over into Pathfinder (although the Draconic Sorcerer Bloodline certainly makes it seem so) but I have a question about dragons in the "human" form. We never really touched on the subject in our 3.5 games since our wonderful DM did everything he could to slaughter us all the moment we hit level 5. Needless to say you don't see too many dragons at level 5. One horrid DM down and a new ruleset to play by we've actually been getting to levels where dragons would actually be a decent enemy to fight and who doesn't love fighting great big gigantic snakes with wings eh? I know in the old ruleset dragons could take human form. I remember laughing at the fact that silver dragons preferred human form due to liking our food, and a joke in Neverwinter Nights that the kobold (Deekin?) used to mention that his boss white dragon would sometimes go into town to eat pie. Anywho this brings me to my final point, can dragons in Pathfinder assume human form? And if they can, would you have to make them like your average run of the mill human? I find it difficult to believe that a old dragon taking human form could be mistaken for Boris the Blacksmith or something. The reason I ask is because, in my upcoming campaign, the heroes are going to have to appease a Great Wyrm gold dragon, not a being to trifle with and I don't want a creature so powerful and wise to look like any average Joe they could meet in town. Now I know that as GM I could make him a ten foot tall gold tinted demigod, but my players really don't like it when I make an NPC "better" than them. I mean they are the PCs and it IS their game but is it so hard to believe there might be someone better than you out there? So, your thoughts on how to handle dragons in human form? [/QUOTE]
