#1 Kentor_Slowhand_02 May 04, 2015 11:51:25	Hey guys, I am looking at starting a campaign using the old Mystara campaign setting. The game itself will be starting from the Keep on the Borderlands. I am looking at having a major player behind the scenes, a green dragon who has infiltrated the keep and is posing as one of the citizens. My only problem is, green dragons can't shape shift. Problem solved, he has some sort of magical device. Now I run with the problem of profencies. I would figure a creature as old as an ancient green dragon would have picked up a few tricks along the way. How would you guys handle this?

Polymorph spell would allow him to shapeshift into a human for up to an hour. An adult green dragon gains one spell of 1st through 5th level.
