[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 4472940, member: 72317"] Considering that there is currently no dragon base race, allowing a player to play say, a solo very young white dragon as the equivalent of a 3rd lv PC would indeed unbalance the game. The reason is more because it is obviously too strong to be allowed as is, rather than simply it being in the MM. Regardless of what book it came from, it would still be overpowered nonetheless. An argument should not only be correct, but also correct for the right reasons. Why aren't they suitable as player races? Just because they are not in the PHB, or because they are too strong? I have yet to see any proof remotely suggesting the latter, and the former just does not hold any water in my book. Why would a race found elsewhere automatically be deem as unsuitable simply because it was not printed in the PHB? The OP was inquiring if said combination was indeed too powerful or not? Shouldn't that be the question we ought to be answering, rather than some imaginary question about whether MM races are to be used as npcs or PCs. [/QUOTE]
