Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leopold" data-source="post: 288003" data-attributes="member: 758">NOTE: Dragons are uber intellegent creatures. They will not simply be a steed or a mount. That is beneath them.Dragons are proud, arrogant, and smart. You have a paladin say "This is my steed" and the dragon would look at him funny if he was good and eat him if the dragon was evil. So consider this for your PC's: The dragon is not a mount per se but merely a follower. Perhaps the PC is the dragons familar? The dragon summoned him much like a sorcerer summons a toad? This allows the dragon free will to do as it pleases and as long as the PC and the dragon are on the same page the end result will be fine.  Allow the dragon to think, act, and respond, as a creature that has lived hundreds of years with ultrahigh intellegence would and not settle for being a 'shuttle' for a 'base' creature. In the above cas I would allow the PC to find a dragon and bond with it. Beyond that amount of roleplaying (and there better be allot!) i wouldn't allow it. Even if the PC took the time and effort to find the dragon and talk to them there still is a chance the dragon will say "No, not interested" and move on. I would pull that out if the player just said "Hi your my new steed, let's go" and watch them get all PO'd at me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.
