Races of the dragon, Kobold only. I made sure he was not using it for schenanigans.
I'm not even sure what shenanigans it COULD be used for. Other than a stupid age thing to get +3 to all mental stats.

Excellent.

Martin comes back to the tavern carrying a bag of magic rocks and a sword made of purple stone as tall as he is.
Why, hello there, Cloud.

Seconded.

You all seem to have a MUCH better idea of what this is supposed to be than I do.

I just had an idea for the plot. I've only caught up to the top of the 50th page, but how about the tutorial quests?

1--PC wakes up with amnesia. As is standard protocol, s/he is sent to a village elder. Teaches movement and such.
2--PC reaches the elder. S/he is told to go search the forest for some berries, learning combat.
3--The elder makes muffins. While they cook, the PC is sent to exterminate some rats in the basement. These include rats, giant, rats, fire rats, rat swarms, miniature rats, etc. When they get 10 rat tails (drop rate 10%, or 25% for swarms), the PCs return to the main house.
4--The elder asks why it took so long to kill 10 rats; the PC says that surprisingly few rats HAD tails. The elder acts shocked, and sends the PC to kill a goblin chief in the forest and bring his amulet to see if s/he is really a hero. The goblin chief is weaker than the warrior goblins and wonders why people keep trying to kill him. Some time during this quest, the first other party member joins.
5--Upon being brought the amulet, the village elder teaches the PC some pivotal technique that will be a major part of his/her toolbox/arsenal. He then gives the PC muffins, a minor healing item, and offers to make any more berries the PCs find into muffins.
6--To help deal with a warlord in the region (a flunky of the real Big Bad), the elder reccomends the PC get the Holy Log of Ämireņa, the dead elven nation. It turns out to be a weapon about 2-3 times the size of an elf, and very heavy (penalties to speed, but lots of damage)
7--The PC is sent to the warlord's castle. After many battles, they discover that the warlord has a powerful magic ring reducing the damage he takes; out of the weapons they have, only the Holy Log deals enough damage. The debuffer guy and such need to tie down the warlord while the PC smacks the warlord with the log.
8--The elder belatedly remembers to teach the PC a spell he could use with the Holy Log. It's impressive, but requires the Log to be used and the PC isn't any good at magic so they leave it behind.
9--The plot begins. The elder acts as though the warlord was the final boss.
10--Eventually, the Holy Log is retrieved for a more powerful mage to use on the Big Bad.

Thoughts?
Logs are not mining implements. Also the PC is Female.
It's not supposed to be taken seriously, a pick is unbalanced like a log, and why be limited by arbitrary distinctions? I think it would be sad if the generic "Oversized +∞ Sword of Glowing" couldn't be wielded by Ursula.

Which parent is the dragon?

And who are you asking about a class?

So you think.
You're half-dragon. Kobolds were literally made from dragon blood.

I was literally made from a dragon, via more conventianal means :P
You're still only half-draconic.
Isn't a half-draconic type though. Besides, my STR bonus is +5. your arguement is invalid :P
I'm full dragon. (Dragonwrought) And that's argumentum ad bacalum, your argument is actually invalid.

...This character has so many interesting dynamics...

I'd prefer something closer to the color real stars are.

Is there some way I can make my actions more easily noticed?

For those not in the know, it happens because armies are fought as a series of one-on-one duels until one side gives up.
Beat me to it.

If only battles in the real world were fought like this...

Whales?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That country has been gone for a long time, not exactly modern.
Okay now, you take that back.  Wales is as much a country as England.
Brits. They're crazy.
Americans are crazy too, of course. Probably crazier.
Definitely crazy.  Both of 'em.
But seriously.  As one of the few people in 'Murica who actually likes Wales, I really hope that was a complete joke.  As in, you didn't actually think Wales ceased to be a country when it joined the U.K.  Because I see that happen so many times it stops being all that funny.
Wikipedia agrees with you. Neat.

Well, I am abandoning the glitchy fishing thing. To bad. It would have been nice to get the fishing boat.
Sad.

Now I will focus to what I can do, the skies and the ground. Next up is the hyper-destructive Bomber that will fire poison and napalm, since the poles look like you guys like a challenge. Then maybe some anti-air weapons, if I can find out a way to shoot down planes without destroying the guy shooting it.

I have really been focused on the military lately and want to get some civilian things done. Civilian things are a lot harder to come up with, so help me out here.
Um...let me see.
Heavy industry. Stuff that makes stuff be made faster and more efficient with more dwarflabor.
Maybe shift towards the modern paradigm of work where resources are cheap and labor is expensive. No idea how, just throwing out ideas...

Bomber tests are going well. I made it delicate, a good hit can take it down, but the attack manages to kill the dwarves they hit and not even leave a body. It would probably start a fortress fire as well, which is what I am going for. I should have it ready later, still looking for ideas.
Make fortresses more flammable.

On the subject of crazy Soviet inventions, have you heard of the Anotov An-225?
I've seen it in person, actually.
Does it look as crazy as it sounds?
