The Dragon has more mobility (which costs AC to use until later), more robust saves, and better multitarget damage when they can catch multiple enemies in their breath weapon. The Fighter has more AC, better single target damage due to being able to focus Action Surge and one's regular action on a single target, and better ranged potential. In it's current incarnation, I believe it balanced well against an example Dwarf Fighter. Throughout revisions, I have tried to keep it side by side with existing classes. I believe it is balanced against other options. This whole work was inspired by the monstrous classes in Savage Species, and the Vampire class of 4th Edition. The ten Monster Manual true dragons are presented as the subraces, the subclass archetypes focus on different ways to be a dragon.

Inside is presented a race and class combination to play as a True dragon from nearly after hatchling at 1st level through to a young adult on the cusp of dragon adulthood at 20th. Here, I present Scale, Flame, and Spell: Dragons as Player Characters. After sitting on this 'supplement' I starting working on nearly 3 years ago, I've decided to just post it to the community. With 5E, I've been wanting to make content again, but I got dazed and distracted by life's responsibilities and the draw of the DM's Guild telling me I could make money. I spent 4E playing and DMing rather than brewing (I loved the system, but found it harder to create for). Back on the WotCommunity boards, back in the days of 3E and 3.5E, I was a prolific homebrew poster.
