Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons
I had one in my game a few years back. He was all about becoming a full on Dragon. Never quite got there.

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons
Oh, I get it on both counts. Being an actual dragon is totally awesome! But maybe it's best saved for a subgenre of fantasy where you don't spend 98% of your time either "in town" or "down a warren of 6'-wide corridors." I suppose being a dragon who can shrink or turn into a humanoid when needed would get around that, but now we're getting into crazy point totals . . . doing it all on few enough points to work with 250-point characters who have to have actual professional abilities is probably pushing it.

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons
That's what the dragon PC template in Pyramid #72 represents. It's SM +1, about the size of a barbarian. And, indeed, PC dragons (at least, according to that template) are more like barbarians than, say, wizards or knights. They're big and strong, but they're at their best when they're outdoors rather than in cramped dungeons.

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons
I like the idea that dragons have DR on their eyes to match their body with nictitating membrane. It keeps the scouts from shooting its eyes out too easily.

Re: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons
Yeah Alternate Form (Human or Reptile Man) costs 15 points base and solves the getting around problem nicely enough.
The Dragin is only really awesome in large areas but that is probaby ok, still gives you awesome some of the time. In my fantasy setting I have dragons in several roles. The Land of Water and Land of Fire have reptile men and lesser dragons. Though dragons though are village and city bankers. They sit in a cave/lair outside of town and protect the hard (vault) and take a %. They also have a small staff of bank assistants to deal with the loan requests and such.
