While I read through the description of Dragonborn I was intrigued by the fact of being an amalgamation of person/dragon. I imagine the Dragonborn are like the lizard people who control our planet. (Disclaimer: I do not believe that lizard people control the earth. This was an attempt at humor that will be spun into how I am a conspiracy theorist) I mean how cool will it be to have dragon wings, breathe fire, have scaly skin and intimidate anyone who wants to steal my gold. Maybe I am exaggerated just a bit, but the idea tickled me.
And plus also when I studied the sorcerers and discovered draconic bloodline, now with even more burn! It was like having bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon. I can be a dragon, with even more dragon! I also like the mechanics of sorcerer where one is born with magical abilities. Harry Potter is a sorcerer in the D&D universe, but “You’re a sorcerer, Harry.” Just doesn’t have the seem ring. A wizard must learn spells, carry scrolls, and are smart. Sorcerers have their spell casting abilities based off their charisma? Sooooo the prettier one is, the better their magic? I don’t make the rules, I just follow them.
While selecting the dragon race, I got to pick the color and breath weapon of my new found pet/destroyer/scaly snuggle buddy. I know in any adventure there will be a fair share of creatures from hell, and creatures from hell are resistant to fire. I decided on a blue dragon with lightening breathe.
I named him Balthazar, because its a very dragony name. While some of the other dragonborn look majestic, strong, and battle hardened. Balthazar looks more like a Grima Wormtongue and Gorn hybrid. (I need to ensure I drop all the nerd knowledge to build my nerd cred) I still love this image because he isn’t exactly the one charging into battle, but holds back and has more indirect influence over the party.
Also, his walk up song is Thunderstruck by AC/DC.
