at least it was a beautiful goat
Oh yes, yes she was. She had the most shinny horns and her fur was matted is such a wonderful way...

Well I had an idea pop up (was really, REALLY bored) where this character could either summon a dragon to fight alongside him, or take the dragon's form himself. Anyhow the problem was that his was what most would consider mentally insane, suffering from Dual Personality Syndrome. So, he can keep that in check when he's normal, but the problem is, that if he summons the dragon, the dragon will fight alongside him, however, he can't stop it from causing collateral damage. And if he takes the form himself, he begins to loose control over himself, as he is fighting for control of his mind, and against enemies in the physical reality he's in. His second personality, what he can keep in check while he's normal, is more feral, short fused, and at times, cold. I was wondering how that character would stand up as "good quality character" to someone else. Also take note that he refuses to try and cure his DPS, because it won't let him. So stats would probably be on a scale of one to ten (1 being lowest or weakest, 10 being highest or strongest)...
Normal form
Strength: 4
Speed: 4
Agility: 3
Intelligence: 6
Charm: 6
Special ability: DPS (lowers CHAR by two points and raises INT by two points)
Dragon form/Dragon
Strength: 8
Speed: 8
Agility: 9
Intelligence: 7 or 3 depending on roll
Charm: 4 or 1 depending on roll
Special ability: Fly, breath fire, dragon armor and claws
So I was wondering, how would this character stack up on a quality scale? I'm kinda trying to figure how to make him work, by either toning down somethings, adding another weakness, stuff like that.
The multiple personality is difficult to pull off correctly. But if done right can be a BLAST!!! I played an EOD specialist once with duo personalities. The thing that made him click was whenever he was around devices of mass destruction i.e. explosives, laser rifles/plasma pistols. When he was around such things he became (In his mind anyways.) an action hero. Whenever he wasn't around the explosives and whatnot he was shy, aloof, and squeegee normal guy. Fun character to play. When he changed his stats didn't change or anything like that, he'd just act totally different.
