02-08-08, 10:44 PM I'm just starting a rather interesing campaign - all the PCs are dragons. Just had the first session today, and I find that I have absolutely no idea how to RP a character fresh out the egg - literally, it started at the hatching - who nonetheless has mental stats of 14/10/20, and a +23 in perform (oratory).

02-09-08, 12:52 AM What kind of dragon are you? A curious and humorous Copper? An arrogant Red? A condescending Gold?

How are the other players playing their dragon? IMHO,dragons are "borned" (or "hatched") with a load of innate knowledge and abilities, either inherited from their parents or built randomly by major power. In addition, they are born with the innate conviction they are better than any other living creature, save perhaps deities. In other terms, they enter the world with the ability to enter college!

In addition, your dragon has a +23 in perform (oratory). You should gather a few great quotes (check out Wikiquote (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Main_Page)), so you would have something brillant to say in each situation.

Dragons come with innate knowledge do they? That's useful - one of the problems I've been having is how to play a really intelligent and charismatic creature who nonetheless knows nothing about the world.

02-12-08, 03:49 PM Have you ever watched Star Treck Voyager? The Doctor is exactly that, a program who knows everything about every species known to the Federation, but who never put a feet outside the sick bay.

Although, you are far more charismatic. And as a dragon, you think yourself at the top of all this, so you shouldn't care that much about these "trivial issues" :P :dragon:

02-17-08, 07:50 PM I'd say that you'd want to base your responses on what's happening around you. I would assume that the Dragon would still be just as naiive about the goings on around it. The high INT at birth just means it has a higher capacity for learning, the higher WIS gives it better common sense, and the high CHA makes other like it more. Work from there. I'd pretend that I was a child who learned really, really fast. It's a very interesting idea...
