Nah, it'd just be hard to get served at a tavern in Greyhawk. (Except maybe the Green Dragon Inn . . .) :D

I think it's more of a size/hit die issue more than anything. Playing a human to troll sized dragon with level progressions wouldn't hopelessly unbalance things. But then again, standard races never seem to last long in my campaigns. :D

Nov 06, 2003 12:36:11 Sounds like a fun idea, playing as a dragon. As noted above, that's between you and your DM.

But, I wouldn't. Because it's also between you and other players. We've had a player who played an Irdan (from Dragonlance, speaking of "stealing") in our ToEE campaign. Then he played a drow elf when we went through the RttToEE. Both times his choice of PC made it exceedingly more difficult for us as players. Some times it just was not fun.

Some races, just for sake of game continuity and smoothness, should not be PCs.

Is smoothness a word? If not, I just invented it

(ill boxed set, by the way).
