Message: <blockquote data-quote="Erisea" data-source="post: 4862792" data-attributes="member: 67397">Hi,I'm currently running an extended campaign, and I'm introducing a new player shortly.  He hasn't played 3.5 before (and only a small amount of 4th edition of any D&D or RPG at all), so I don't want to make a character that's too complex to play, but there are veterans around the table who can help him out.Narratively, the party have recently freed a silver dragon who was being held prisoner by an evil cult and whose eggs were being perverted in to dragonspawn under the control of the cult.  Ideally, I'd have liked the new player to take over the dragon and run her as a PC, but as the party is only 8th level, that's really not feasible for balance reasons.  Even a wyrmling is ECL 11 according to Savage Species.  So, instead I'm thinking that the dragon managed to protect one of her eggs from the cult and has produced a child of some form that can be played.My other thoughts are running a dragonborn from Races of the Dragon (ignoring the ritual fluff from that book), converting a dragonspawn of some type in to a playable race or creating a half-dragon.  The player is looking for an offensive magic-user, so I was thinking sorceror because it fits narratively so well with dragons and is also relatively easy to play for a newcomer compared to a wizard.So I was hoping I could get some thoughts from other people on good ways to create this character.  Opinions of which option is the best, or other options I haven't thought of, pointers on which dragonspawn to think of converting and some tips on how to do so, or even some home-brew rules people might have come up with before on how I could feasibly play an actual dragon would all be appreciated.  If anyone else has tried to do something similar in the past, I would love to hear about it as well.</blockquote>
