Re: On dragons
Dragons are the only pretenders that have to pay for magic they can't use. All the other monster type pretenders have full access to their paths in battle, Dragons either have to start as a vulnerable human and shift or not have full use of the magic they paid for. Including, I'd assume, the side benefits of high paths: attack bonus and the like.
On the other hand it's a neat ability and it distinguishes them. And does have the advantage of full slots for ritual casting and forging.
Overall, it's a disadvantage. Maybe instead of losing 2 levels, they could lose 1 in dragon form and gain one in human from the actual purchased value?
