But can I play a Dagon?
I have played a dragon in a game. It was fun.
Try asking the other players at the table if they'd be okay with one of them playing a dragon and about the size/age/power level of said dragon.
What if we're all dragons? What if we're Bad Dragons?
Yes.
A party of dragons going on draconic adventures could be fun, actually.
There is nothing wrong with a high power PC if he's with other high power PCs in a high power campaign.
That would be less powerful than normal PCs, on account of having less access to game-breaking spells.
Imagine that.
Wings of Fire setting and rpg when?
The correct response is:
"What kind of dragon?"
One with big breasts
Then the answer is no.
And also please leave the table.
Make me.
c'mon, man
let him be a big titty dragon
don't be such a drag
YES
I let my friend play a dragon from some 3rd party book. Five natural attacks, damage reduction, flight....his only weakness was his AC and he begged for a buff to that because it was so low. Gave it, then suddenly his AC became like 35 because he actually bothered to get buffs. He takes up half the squares in the dungeon on the battlemats and makes tabletop combat a clusterfrick. I'd be mad but there are two other players in the party with Large sized pets that they can enlarge to Huge size and that's all RAW.
I'm never DMing fricking Pathfinder again.
>"These are not your cliche, typical adventurers. Surely you're not going to put them in a cliche, typical adventure?"
>"Nah, it'll be fine."
It's dungeons and dragons. It's a game about dungeons. Do you expect none of the adventures to involve entering a structure? Why would they allow multiple pet classes to exist in that game? Why would they make your pets grow to LARGE size in a game like this?
Also the game mostly is NOT about dungeons in fact. They are a side thing. But it's still annoying when it does happen and they complain that these ancient dwarves didn't make dragon sized rooms.
I just get this on every pet character I make:

If your players won't, just make them squeeze.
He has it. It's just that I like to use miniatures and his giant-ass mini gets in the way and it just looks ridiculous in my mind imagining it. Btw Theater of the Mind combat fricking sucks, there's a reason I started out doing that and slowly began to do more and more grid based combat in anything that involved melee.
Have you tried sucking my dick? "Agency" is a stupid nonce word.
Pathfinder is Dungeon and Dragons clone.
I don't because the game isn't designed for that tbh.
It's not my fault you are a midwit with no imagination or control at the table
unfortunately theater of the mind is superior.
Does pathfinder have rules for playing a dungeon?

>It's dungeons and dragons. It's a game about dragons. Do you expect none of the adventurers to be giant fire breathing reptiles?
you could just describe locations as being sufficiently large that size isn't a problem.
>Why would they make your pets grow to LARGE size in a game like this?
because a Horse is large sized and somebody having a fricking horse in this game about playing as knights and fighting dragons isn't a terribly large ask
you meant to type it became 35 because you gave him buffs
Nah bro I let him increase his AC by 5 because it was more in with what a fighter could get and he couldn't wear armor. But then he decided to have mage armor put in him plus some other bullshit.
have you tried not being a shit DM with no agency?
who are you talking to?
Dungeon Master. I tell you, I’m going into battle, and I need to play as your strongest dragon.
You don't know what you ask, player. You can't handle my strongest dragons.
Frick off, meme-forcing toddler.
No.
d&d really breaks from something as basic as playing a dragon? what an awful system
Could you please give us a detailed and specific post about the situation this occurred in? Make sure to include system and setting.
why are you replying to a bot?
Game Master, what am I allowed to play?
You will answer "Nothing, forever" and then shoot me in the head, because of the post-hypnosis command my mom implanted in your mind.
Who hurt you OP?
Also draconic races are based and the fact PF2e doesn't have one yet is a shame.
>saying no
>playing D&D
It's a valid R.C.C & it's not like we are playing a CS only campaign so I don't care bro I hope you have fun with your first time playing RIFTS
Well, it depends on the rules and the setting. Let him playthe first session as a useless dragon egg and then 10 odd years as a barely useful dragon hatchling. Melee fighter only, 1d2 damage, no spells, no ranged breath weapon.
I read this wrong initially and thought you said that you should let him play an egg thats only ability is the fighter to throw him for 1d2 damage
But what if I play like a level 1 baby dragon and get stronger as I level up??
By level 20 you're a medium-sized dragon.
What if we play something with playable dragons?
THAT LOOKS ASS ANON
Everything has playable dragons if you want.
>I will NOT let you play a dragon.
Let him play a Steel or Shadow dragon. The LA for those is more or less ballanced.
But what if I play a silver dragon that's purposefully stunting their growth and development in human form, like he's playing DnD?
Just kick them out. Clearly they are going to be a problem. Better for them to find another group, too.
3.5 has rules for this. Whether you agree with those rules is another thing but you just sou d like a shitty dude
I'm not seeing it in Savage Species
Where's that located
I think it's one of the Dragon magazines. 332?
The draconomicon probs.
Draconomicon you fricking plebs
What's your stance on playing Wyrms, Drakes, or Wyverns?

Dragonkin
Creature Type. You are a Dragon.
Ability Score Increase. Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1
Size. Medium
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Flight. Thanks to your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can't use this flying speed if you're wearing medium or heavy armor.
Darkvision. Dragonfolk are adapted living and flying at twilight hours. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of grey.
Claws. You have claws that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Damage Resistance. You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry as seen on page 34 of the Players Handbook.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic.
>d&d
Yes.
No.
Already done! I don't think its anything too crazy powerful mechanically- you could probably make a good argument saying Winged Tieflings are better than this, but thats okay Winged Tieflings are really good.
could this be any gayer
Could you?
Dragonkin or reskinned Winged Tiefling legit hits all the major requirements for a "dragon" PC. Then just take spells like Alter-Self, Mage Armor, and Dragon's Breath to complete the fantasy,
Or you could just play a dragon.
No one wants to learn 2e for a Council of Wyrms game, and I haven't had the courage to ask a DM if I can use True Polymorph during a level 20 one-shot.
It's a one shot, it's literally your one shot. Do it already.
>pic rel
Is she single?
I agree, there's options that fit naturally in 5e D&D at least:
>Way of the Ascendant Dragon Monk
>Draconic Sorcerer
>Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (If you want a Psychic Dragon)
>Divine Soul Sorcerer (If you want a divine one)
>...Really any Sorcerer now that I look at them
>Any Warlock for that pact flavor
>Any Wizard that's not a Bladesinger
Play a Dragonkin or reflavored Winged Tiefling or Reflavored Aarokora or something and it can do it solidly without being as overpowered as just having a player play a CR 8+ Statblock with no scaling.
But you told me this was a Council of Wyrms campaign!
It was explicitly allowed in oD&D to play as anything, including monsters, as long as they started at the same power level as the other characters and progressed through tiers. Dragon and vampire were the two examples. This is literally an idea as old as the hobby and OP is a homosexual.
>OP stood looking at the poster who insisted the player should be allowed to be a dragon
>He glanced over to see The Poster's collection of commissioned dragon art and dragon-centric discord erotic role play groups
Oh yeah?
>said the anon with the adult human male fighter fetish
Checkmate.
homie that's just called being gay
>I will NOT let you play a dragon.
If you can't do it thats because you suck at the game OP.
Not even if it's a golem dragon?
This doesn't happen.
One time I had a player ask to be a sapient pair of pants.
Was it a good fit?
Screw OP. What games support me playing a dragon? Which is the best?
RIFTS. It's awesome
Prowlers and paragons.
My GM best bro lets me play something far cooler. Illithid.
They have illithid dragons
Oh no the PTSD is kicking
Please no no no more noooooo
How did you set that up?
I asked him if I could play an illithid, and he said yes.
How's the balance?
The rest of the party are kinda brainless.
I hate the idea of players who bring this shit to tables, but honestly, I've never encountered them. I'm pretty clear at outset what kind of game we're playing, and if they're in my inner circle, I let them shape the game.
If someone really wants to play a dragon, I'm not miffed by it, unless they're insisting to play it in an inappropriate game. Otherwise, having a game of dragons or mega monsters scheming together, is a fun game idea BUT only if the other players are down.
Basically, I'd not allow it in a standard dungeon fantasy game, but if my players want something more like an evil civ game, I'm down.
>can I play a dragon?
Sure. A juvenile dragon forced into the form of a lesser race, sent out into the world to learn how it works by your mother, who has a viscious sink-or-swim attitude toward her children. You will multi-class into every basic class and progress slowly, but you will have an attribute boost to start, and dragon powers will unlock for you at certain levels. Your true identity is a secret, and enemies will be searching for you. Learn what you can and gather allies for the day you can assume your true form and reveal yourself.
Good luck.
No, I'll play a full dragon with all powers and you can't stop me.
Okay, okay, no need to shout. I'll play a kender instead.
Sure, play a dragon.
BTW, the kingdom has a 5000 GP bounty on dragon heads.
Soon enough the other PCs will be 5000 GP richer and someone will be rolling a new character and wishing they didn't have a huge comparative financial deficiency.
I'd just like it to be noted for the record that Council of Wyrms was a 2e setting that let you play dragons and it was fricking great.
>Imagine Dragon? Imagine Dragon these nuts across OPs forehead Lmao
>yeah, sure you can true polymorph into a dragon
>*casts dispel magic*
fails 🙂
Hi r3.ddit.
I'd let them play a baby or juvenile dragon, they're pretty much just a sorcerer in a non-human body.
>A dragon? Sure, anon. The other players are a glitter boy, a mind melter, and a cyber knight so I think you'll find your own niche.
>dragongay is back at it again
i wanna be trogdor
one of the games i'm in now is a kobold game where we all play kobolds. it's pretty fun actually
Dragons are very cool
>“I want to play as a dragon!”
>“Well as we are playing Fantasycraft you’ll have to start as drake.”
Fun idea for a character:
>red hair
>fiery temper
>impetuous
>imperious
>petty
>loves treasure
>believes that they are actually a young red dragon who has been polymorphed by a cursed magical item into a human or half-elf without any special dragon powers
>tries to get the party to go on all sorts of bullshit adventures in their quest to undo the curse and restore them to their natural dragon form
>is actually just batshit crazy and is actually *not* a shapeshifted dragon, just a relatively regular human or half-elf
I unironically want to play this character, but I suggest you say "okay: you can play a dragon; but..." to players, and then have them play this character (whose true non-dragon nature you possibly secret from the player lol).
Would you allow someone like me to play such a character?
You can play as a dragon who's been cursed by Bahamut and transformed into a mere mortal until you earn redemption (which will conveniently coincide with reaching the level that players can permanently transform themselves into dragons anyways with true polymorph)
this is literally one of the suggested backgrounds for Tyranny of Dragons by the way. You can do the same shit with somebody wanting to be some edgy ancient evil or demon god or whatever anime villain of the week they're trying to LARP as (probably Sukuna instead of Naruto these days), just say "sure.....but your powers have diminished to the point you're no more than a weak mortal at the moment, you'll need to work to regain your powers" and then start them as a dhampir or hexblood
