the game will be high on action, but as it is a PBP there will still be plenty of roleplaying,
anybody interested? please make up a charcter and join in!
more info on the discussion and PBP threads

I have had some thoughts about running a dragon campaign before, I appreciate some of the difficulties involved and realise that a dragon campaign is automatically a medium to high level when it starts
My thoughts are that we count the dragons’ hit dice as levels and that being a dragon is a class, when enough exp is gained to go up a level the dragon levels up, if the dragon then has enough HD to be a dragon of a higher age category then it gains all the abilities as if it had aged, we start with all dragons at 8HD.
The dragon PCs will be like gestalt characters (multiclass) they pick ONE and only one class which they run alongside their dragon class (e.g. they are a level 8 paladin and level 8 dragon).
The dragon class has d12 hp, good base attack progression, all saves being good and 6 skill point’s level
So the other class adds special abilities, feats, spells and extra class skills (a rogue would also have two extra skill points a level)
My idea is that....
The dragon’s souls have been magically joined with humanoid ones (this happens while they are still eggs)
Basically all the dragons will have two true shapes, their normal dragon shape and their medium size (or small) humanoid shape (standard races only), PCs can freely (a standard action) change between the two shapes
In humanoid form they keep their abilities and senses, stats only change due to size modifiers, they do lose their natural armour bonus though. When in their humanoid shape they count as a member of that race for purposes of magic. They do not get any extra abilities that the humanoid race has
I have used the old council of wyrms setting for some inspiration. Your characters are all hatchlings, dragons learn much while they are eggs, and you have had a lot of magic used in your creation so
the game will start with you being born,
take the base dragon stats
then add one of these to each stat
8,6,4,2,2,0
hitpoints are max level 1 and 7 for other levels
you have 10000gp worth of items that will be in a chest nearby
you can have anything you like from core rules
btw i will allow most magical items to work in either form
but armour will not
all pc's will also get a backpack of holding that will hold 300 lbs and only wiegh 10 lbs (i dont want us caught up in encumberance rules)
this backpack tranforms to fit dragon or humanoid
please note that weapons do not change size
BTW for encounters i will start with counting you as 3-4 level higher
