Is it acceptable for one of my agents to be a Draconian? Draconians being from the Dragonlance cotinuum.

Wouldn't think that's a good idea. by

My impression of the Draconians, whatever the color, was that they aren't too bright. They also tend to explode or do other bad things when injured or killed.
Honestly, if you think you need some kind of big impressive species/weapons for your agents to be interesting, you're going about it the wrong way. We're way more interested in what someone who isn't impressive on the surface can do under tough circumstances.

We are not D&D munchkins trying to make the most powerful agents (as if there were actually a chance of the Sues winning when you are writing your own missions). Jay and Acacia got rid of a great number of Sues without even belonging to an impressive species or having loads of advanced weaponry. They were just smart and resourceful, and most of all their missions were cleverly written to make their victories look credible. Many of our best agents are Badass Normals. Being excessively powerful for no particular reason is against the spirit of the PPC.
"He who fights Sues should look to it that he himself does not become a Sue. And when you gaze long into badfic, the badfic gazes also into you."

I was thinking of a noble draconian, which were produced from the eggs of chromatic dragons, and normally sided with Light. also, and this goes for all varieties, they only explode, turn to stone, etc. if they are killed.

Haven't the foggiest, but, in the interests of not shoving posts off the first page, in future could you perhaps put additional questions in the same thread, if you've already got a question near the top of the page? A series of new threads by one person makes it easier to miss things, and if you simply put another post in your existing thread, people will still notice it and answer. Cheers.
