here is my idea for dragons being Playable:
Dragons
- Description: Dragons are Prideful creatures who eventually driven by greed, power, and/or wealth began to go into human lands after morphing into humans, like a werewolf morphing into a human, to achieve their own goals of gaining treasure and/or power. Dragons in human form look like regular humans but upon close inspection, their skin is made up of tiny scales and their body/head/facial hair is the same color as their dragon form’s color. Dragons in human form wear gloves and shoes when surrounded by non dragons in order to hide the fact that they have claws instead of fingernails and toenails.
- General attributes of dragons:
Natural Dragon Armour: Dragons can’t wear armour and hellmets except cloth armour and cloth helmets. Dragons gain armour points every few character levels, like a lizard’s scales hardening over time since it is born.
Dragon flight: you can fly three times per day and you roll a die to see how long you can fly, due to morphing being painful, by sprouting wings from your back.
Prideful: you feel you are superior to other races and thus you learn less spells than normal in any class you are in.
Darkvision: All dragons, except except Light Dragons and Dark Dragons at certain times of a day, can only see in shades of white, black, and grey. So dragons use their sense of smell to know what something is.

Color Removal: your character can roll a die to try to magically remove tattoos and hair dies like popping a zit but just without pain.
Authors Note: when I mention creatures that mean non player characters and characters that aren’t plants unless otherwise specified. Also this dragon idea and list serves as a Rough draft of what abilities each type of dragon and all dragons would have since I don’t know the best way to implement die attacks like the die rolls for the italian food dragon’s ability Dragon Tomato Sauce. Also these dragon types can be used in a D&D campaign requireing you to gain money or a D&D treasure hunt campaign.
So what do you people think about my dragon race ideas and how do you think the dragon race ideas would be created using the d&D beyond character's race creation tool?
