[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4806900, member: 11146"] [sblock=Ambrus] You're right. I'm already feeling some trepidation regarding whether I'll be able to effectively handle a PC dragon as a DM. My chief concerns are how to balance your character against the others--the dragon has 40+ HP at first level, the ability to fly, and a breath weapon, all just at 1st level. The other characters have no such abilities. Plus, I know from past experience DMing you that you're well-versed in the rules and will push for every possible in-character use of ability whenever feasible. That's not intended as a knock against you, just a statement of fact--you can be a delight to play with but also a challenge. I simultaneously want to see a dragon in play, particularly in a game I run, but don't want the adventure spoiled due to the ease with which even a wyrmling might circumvent what is intended to be a challenge for a "normal" party. What I do know from past experience playing with you is that you can be counted on to maintain an active posting interest in the game and that you'll keep me honest as DM, both of which are selling points in your favor. Goodness, thank you for your honest opinion. Shall we call it bronze dragon with a Hat of Disguise, then? :) [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
