[DF] Playing a dragon as an adventurer

[Michael Cule]

If I were doing this with a more modest budget I'd use the dragon offspring from the IRONWOOD comic book. They had the surname Dragavon when they weren't hiding.

The dragons in that universe were all male and all shapeshifters and liked to transform into other species (including human ones) to mate. Their offspring looked like ordinary members of the mother's kind except that they were invulnerable to normal harm and couldn't be killed except by something as dangerous as a dragon's flame.

The adult dragons had an interest in killing them off before they matured and could take dragon form.

The issue that contained them was called: "The Sex Life of Dragons or Why Our Cities Are Burning."

So a carefree, randy chancer who looks like a mature human male but claims he won't be capable of siring offspring for decades yet. One day he will start to develop draconic traits. Perhaps he'll be grateful to his old comrades when he becomes the Real Thing.

Or possibly not. For now he can be sent ahead of the party into deadly danger if you can convince him it's in his interest to do so.
