You're a warrior who gains the ability to shape-shift between human and dragon. This allows for excellent elements when playing as the dragon, but when you are not mauling enemies, the game becomes dull. Another cool character is the necromancer who hems found body parts, making a new creature to aid your fights. It's just shy of creepy.
