My my, aren't we dedicated to the draconic theme eh Drake?Drake the Dragonheart said:snip
OT: To be able to turn into a dragon, especially if some of the powers are usable in human form (breath attacks, magic 'n such), as having a dragon partnership can be a very complicated ordeal logistically. I mean your average D&D ride-able dragon is the size of a school bus. It's going to be very hard to find room and board for that scaly bugger at the best of times, and it can hardly follow you around everywhere.
Being able to turn into a dragon though seems so much more practical. You don't have to try and feed another creature, the abilities are inherent so you can use them inside or out of a building, and if you ever do need to get from point A to B faster than you currently can, you don't need to call your draconic buddy for a pick-up (which I feel would hardly be doing such a majestic creature justice). And to be honest, I'm a lazy sod. I'll pick whichever option is more convenient, though being able to literally breathe fire at someone who annoys me is certainly a nice advantage.
